Hello again! I’m coming back from a two-month hiatus, after taking care of a few elective surgical procedures. Everything is healing pretty well and it’s time to get back in the saddle! With weddings and workshops coming up in October, I’ve got to get those floral muscles back in shape! ...
Shown here is a flower or ground meadow from last year. I love ground meadow arrangements for weddings as they are visually impactful, can be used in many ways, and are easy to repurpose after the ceremony. An excellent investment of your wedding dollars! Please DM me if you’re interested in spirited and organic florals for your wedding or event.

Recent elopement bouquet for I & P. Blue and white has such a clean, cool, classic look. The flowers bridged the late spring and early summer, and included Philadelphia mock orange, ranunculus, peonies, allium cerulean, tweedia and sweet peas. “No roses, please,” said the bride. “No problem,” said I. It was quite a fragrant bouquet as well! ...
Did I mention that I *love* to do florals for elopements and small, intimate weddings?? Please share with your friends who are going low key but natural and artful with their wedding.

Here’s a recent arrangement with several goodies from the cutting garden: Sarah Bernhardt peonies, Sicilian honey garlic, and branches from a dwarf Gingko shrub. The dramatic garlic scapes came from (24” tall!). And a little asparagus fern for airiness and to extend the lines. ...
What’s cool about this simple, elegant arrangement is that your guests will see those big, fat peonies from across the room. But people sitting or standing near it will enjoy the details of the twisting scapes, bell florets and Ginkgo leaves. There’s a lot going on when you look closely! ...
If you’ve got a desire for sculptural floral arrangements with eye-catching details, we should talk! Please share this with your like-minded friends as well. Carry on!

Flowers are going into the ground now for my late summer/fall weddings, including dahlias, lisianthus, cherry caramel phlox, cosmos and fragrant herbs. (Late start due to the rain this year.) There are homegrown beauties in every bouquet, centerpiece, and personals from Semper Virens Flowers. Nothing else is as fresh and sweet! ...
