Grace, we are so happy you had such a wonderful experience with your stunning fall wedding! It means so much to us to have been a part of your special day through our florals.

The beautiful part is that when you work with us here at The Picket Fence Foundation, the money you spend on florals goes beyond your wedding day—it helps support training and employment opportunities for adults with disabilities.

Our very popular sun catchers from Germany are back!

They are suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The combination of materials glow with an exposure to virtually any light. They never fade and are all weather resistant (rain, humidity, heat, snow).

You have to see them glow in person!

See you Saturday!!
