Hellloooo Instagram friends! Over the last few weeks, I have been working in the background on a number of things here at The Flower Hat. The wedding season is finally over, and the dahlias are blooming their heads off and we’re already planning wedding season 2026... BUT most importantly on my timeline right now is the Fall Bulb Sale! I have been hinting at it throughout the year, but I am excited to announce and/or confirm that our sale will take place October 17th, 2025 at 10AM Mountain. I am beyond thrilled with this year’s catalog, and I can’t wait for you to see it. Now that wedding season is over, galleries are starting to come in, so you will be seeing a lot of wedding photos as well as fall bulb announcements AND dahlia updates! There are so many incredible varieties in the breeding beds. I can’t wait for you to see it! For now, mark your calendars and plan some room in your beds for some amazing tulips, ranunculus, anemones and narcissus! I will be sending out Newsletters with all the details and a very special giveaway is coming up exclusively for our newsletter subscribers, so be sure to sign up by going to the link in my bio. I’ll see you there and I’ll be back here soon.

Some recent shots from the farm! The dahlias are budding up like crazy and while I patiently wait, the perennials are hitting their stride! In order of appearance, the flowers are:

- Hydrangea “Firelight”
- Scabiosa “Fama White”
- Fleece Flower
- Rudbeckia “Sahara Sunset” (although this particular one is a volunteer seedling)
- Oregano (it’s over 4’ tall!)
- Echinops Ritro
- Phlox “Nicky”
- Helenium (I believe this is “Mardi Gras”. My neighbor Julie gifted me one plant and I’ve been propagating it for the last few years into a whole patch! I use this so much every summer).

What are some of your favorite perennials to grow?

Which perennials you wish you had? For me, I’ve wanted to grow fleece flower ever since I saw it in the gardens of our friends at and I am beyond thrilled to have my own patch of it now. They grow so fast, I’m excited to see it next year already. I have so many more that I’ll share as they bloom and I’m planting more later this fall!

I’m excited to have the weekend off after a 6 weekend run, working long shifts, 7 days a week. We’ll be back next weekend for a fun Montana wedding, full of textures and grasses!

Instagram now has a repost button, so feel free to repost this so you can keep track of some amazing perennials.

Have a great weekend everyone!

It’s been such an insanely busy few weeks here at the studio. Here’s a small sample of some arrangements that I’ve made in the last few weeks. Which one is your favorite?

I made that! I made that arch and it’s one of my absolute favorites of all time!! I used to teach color theories in my workshop so we made really beautiful colorful arches and I always hoped to be asked to create something like this one day, until today!♥️💛🧡🤎🧡♥️

I got 10,650 steps today setting up this wedding but it’s set up and it’s so beautiful! The colors were absolutely incredible and I’m so thankful to all the vendors that provided all the flowers. Most importantly, thanks to my team Katie, Melissa and Gabby (who took these photos!) for killing it!

I’ve been in this business for 14 years and I’m always learning something new. I want to share the lessons I learned about this wedding but it’s too much to type here, but ultimately, the next time someone tells me “you have my dream job!” I will answer them with a question: which part is your dream? Dealing with logistics the whole week? Trying to replace dead flowers the week of, that you won’t get credit for? Managing freelancers? Sourcing the appropriate amounts of supplies, containers, uhauls… ? The long days? Spending weekends working? 😆🤣😂 oooooh you like playing with flowers, gotcha! Ahaha yeah, that’s not my job! lol

All jokes aside, weddings are beautiful and I can’t think of doing anything else as a profession, it’s an incredible honor to be chosen to do flowers for a wedding no matter the size. I’m grateful for every job I am booked for and I’m already excited for the next one.

Time to rest and reset until the next one!

I haven’t posted an armload style photo in a long time, but when I saw these roses come in, my jaw dropped. They’ve been opening in the cooler for a few days now and everyday they get more and more beautiful! They’re not your regular rose shape, but I’m curious to know how you like these more open, garden style, double-centered varieties? Let me know in the comments.

I’m in the middle of the busiest week of the year here so if you’ve emailed us, hold tight! I’ll be back on Monday. I hope you have a beautiful weekend.

The Japanese Ranunculus are exploding in the greenhouse this week! I’ve had my eye on these babies for years, and In fact, I’ve been collecting pictures of them from all over Instagram and saving them to a folder for so many years. I’m so happy to finally be growing them. They’re spectacular and while their stems are a little of the short side for now, they’re planted 2” apart so I’m hoping they’ll stretch after a few rounds of pinching. These are great for tucking in compote style centerpiece and bud vases. I’m in love with them!

Welcoming my 40th trip around the sun was such an introspective experience. While I was surrounded by my best friends in one of the most beautiful places I’ve been, I reflected on what it meant to turn 40. From my personal moments of reflection, it made me proud of where I am today and the life I’ve lived until now. If you asked if I’d change anything, I don’t think I would. Life has been pretty amazing and in the (paraphrased) words of Brooke Castillo, “you can’t experience joy if you don’t know sadness”. Life is ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and I’m grateful for so, so many highs. It’s been an amazing journey and I’m thankful for the last 40 years and beyond excited for the next 40! Thanks to Coleman, Sue, Matt and Fabiano for making me feel the luckiest man! I love you all! Here we go…

PS.: if you’re looking for beach recommendations, I highly recommend the Algarve region in Portugal! ;)

This is “Art Design” and I waited 2 years to meet it. It’s a masterpiece in daffodil design, to be honest. I’m not even sure if words can make justice to these pictures but I just love it. I with it was a little taller, it stands on 8-10” stems, but the beautiful of the furled centers is unparalleled. Yesterday I posted “Popeye” as the cover photo, but Art Design feels like the fancier, more refined version. Both breathtaking, both fragrant but Art Design truly delivered on its promise, or, my expectations. I hope you like it as much as I do. The Fall Bulb sale this year will be lit! Ahaah mark your calendars, October 17, 2025.
