The life of a studio florist is a mix of busy and not so busy - last weekend delivered a wedding, a bridal bouquet, and a graduation party, each with their own color palette! So this was where floral math, color and texture combining was paramount in delivering the best possible outcomes 🙏❤️💐
Not to mention after a major holiday everything is behind a day, including shipping, so I am thankful for my colleagues having my back in securing product and allowing me for cutting from their own growing garden! Thank you and Roadside Blooms

Not all floral chandeliers are created equal, nor should they be - imagine dancing the night away under tropical blooms - maybe I should have used Margaritaville today as it is Cinco de Mayo ;)

For most Danish people May 4th is not about Star Wars; it is a reminder of the liberation of Denmark of German occupation under WW2. The black out curtains were removed and burnt and people lit candles and put them in their windows everywhere. I can only imagine the emotional impact that had on the nation after the darkness.
Since then Danes everywhere light candles on May 4th in remembrance and as a reminder not to let this happen again - I am forever hoping we humans learn aggression, oppression, war is not the way.

Today our Queen, the Queen of Denmark abdicated and her son, Frederik became King Frederik X of Denmark and his Queen, Queen Mary with her Tasmanian roots. The oldest kingdom in the world is still in good hands.

Here’s goodbye to 2023, like every year before you, there were lowlights and highlights, sunny days and wind, and wayyy to much rain. I got to do what I love, designing with botanicals, big and small events, deliveries, workshops - every moment brought new connections and experiences.
I am fortunate to get to work with and for some amazing designers and I look forward to more of that in 2024.
I decided to wave 2023 goodbye with a smile, cause as we all know, “there is no crying in floristry” ( at least not when your client is watching ;) ) Here is to a blooming 2024

Delivery of our last event/private party in 2023 - we do love designing for the large and the small parties, the vibrant and colorful, the more muted, a themed party, anything you can think of, we can run with! If you have some ideas, but am happy for us to make suggestions or even take the reins, you will be in good hands with us. This design was requested as Christmas, red and gold, we appreciate the trust, believe me! 🙏💪❤️
