In honor of Speak Now TV, here's the most Speak Now-esque table garlands I've probably have ever done.

Literally, lavender & whites for an enchanted garden theme. Those lavender butterflies were serving whimsical & magic. Garden roses, lavender... and waxflowers?? This also yells Leslie's old work but definitely proud of it.

What's a track off of Speak Now TV you've been waiting to hear? Paramore & Taylor Swift are my absolute faves so you now I SKIPPED to Castles Crumbling (don't judge me lol) & teared up. I love it so much!

Thinking of how when we get back from Alaska we'll be doing the prettiest work for Laura + David to kick off our wedding season!

To be transparent with everyone, this year has been the slowest (both by accidental & by choice) but looking back on the past few months, I think it was all meant to happen this way. A truly needed break to gain clarity on redirection & new goals.

Alaska has been beautiful & we've only been 3 days into trip, I'm so so excited to see everything!

See you guys soon🌿🌸✨

Don't ask me what I think about floral installations because I will either say "Yes!!!" or "they're always a great idea!" 🌸🌿

A small project I worked on this year w/ nothing but ' garden roses! I used a handful of wabara sola spray roses, effie, symbol & juliet garden roses through the installation.

I will forever look for any excuse to throw in any garden rose variety... they're literally a staple in my designs!

Hi there! I've been seeing a couple of new faces & wanted to introduce myself to you!

I'm Leslie, the face behind the blooms you see on our page! I started this business back in late 2019 as an effort to bring in an extra source of income to help me through college.

🌸 Though I was 19 when I started my business, I've been working with flowers since 15 years old through a Floral Design program at Skyline High School!

🌸 Speaking of school, I'm pursuing a career in dental hygiene! (It's okay to question it... it's so far off from florals lol)

🌸 I'm 23 years old but I look like I'm still 19 for whatever reason??

🌸 I love to travel, go to concerts & garden on my free time

🌸 My favorite flowers are constantly changing but any peony or garden rose variety will always have my heart! (huge shout out to for these stunning westminster abbeys & miyabi roses!)

🌸 I LOVE COLOR! No shade to the all white gals, I love y'all but color?? I literally cannot say no to!

🌸 I'm probably the shyest extrovert introvert you'll meet. I somehow don't shut up once you get me talking but am so awkward. I love talking but dislike starting conversations😅

Hope to see you guys stick around! Say hi in the comments because I love making friends but too shy to say hi (obvi lol) 🫶🏼

Happy Mother's day to all the beautiful and lovely mommas out there! We hope your day is filled lots of love, sweetness and flowers to show how much you are appreciated.

Thank you to those who showed their support this Mother's day & had us design a special something for a special mom. Now onto a brief little break from flowers🌾

April showers definitely do bring may flowers.

It's always a struggle sourcing unique garden rose varieties for my designs but happy to see my honey dijon bush flourish & hopeful to use it for future events🍯🤎

Though the rose section of the garden is thriving right now, I still have not finished anything from my 2023 garden project... currently waiting for finals to be over so I can jump into the garden & get these hands dirty!

Romantic, whimsical garden-inspired bridal bouquet with so many of my favorite spring blooms!

Everyone knows, it's not a M&M Studio bouquet if it doesn't have any ' garden roses. For this design, we used the Alexandra Farms white o'hara variety paired with sweet escimo roses, sweet peas, alliums, jasmine vine, misty white limonium, hellebores, lilac & spirea clippings from my studio's garden✨

Today was such a beautiful day for a styled shoot with .peska.tx from at !

The days are starting to get warmer & brighter!

I'm so excited to feed into my gardening hobby this season, so far we've gotten most of the planting at my house done & now we're working on finishing up the garden bed at Anthony's house! Considering to go on the hunt for some pink magnolia trees but my local nursery is already out so we'll see how that one goes🌸

What are y'all's plans for this early spring?

Sweet details from a Parisian inspired styled shoot I was lucky to be a part of this past winter!

If anyone really knows me, you'd know that I absolutely find any time to use ' garden roses for my designs. For this event I used charity, edith, eugenie & juliet. They always perfectly convey that soft, timeless & romantic aesthetic I aim to achieve through my work✨

Adding a bit of color to the feed after a couple of gloomy days🌼

Anthony & I are celebrating our anniversary today and also building our garden beds! Some of the garden rose bushes that I ordered from arrived yesterday so they're currently soaking & excited to plant them later!

How's everyone's weekend going? ✨

A little bout' moment before being wrapped in ribbon for the groom🌿

Now, a question I get asked a lot is "who the heck gets a boutonnière?"

My answer is, just the groom. I know, it sounds weird & as if you're leaving the rest of your group out. But, your personals can easily take up a good chunk of your budget if you have a big wedding party... not including your officiant, parents & ring bearer.

If optimizing your budget to its fullest potential for dreamy florals for your reception & ceremony, I personally recommend cutting back on bouts for everyone else & just keeping one for the groom. If you plan on keeping them either way to make everyone feel included or whatever fits your need, it's totally fine! No wrong or right way, just know that it's your day, your way & that items like these easily add up just like everything else!

Thoughts on bouts? Let me know in the comments, I'd like to know your perspective on them🙌🏼✨

POV: you're a florist treating yourself to some goodies🌿

I seriously could never have enough sweet peas, lisianthus & garden roses. Although peonies are my absolute favorite flowers, these 3 are always a staple in my designs. I love how dainty they are, the ruffled tips & the texture they bring into the overall look.

What's your favorite flower? 🌷

Looking forward to all of spring's beauty this year🌼

In the meantime, let's look back at R + Z's day at the beautiful & appreciate the bold, whimsical & garden inspired florals that we used for her bridal piece. Gosh, those juliet garden roses from were absolutely beautiful!

Did someone say mimosa?! 🍾

As a florist, you know it's Valentine's season when you see the fluffy & bright yellow beauty. She might not be your traditional V-Day icon, but she does make a statement alone this time of year.

When we tell you that you're in impeccable care in terms of wedding florals, here's why✨

Finding the perfect shade of white in flowers can be a tad tricky sometimes. There's flowers with pink, yellow or green undertones that can affect the overall look.

When creating our flower recipe for this romantic & timeless bouquet, we stuck with ' eugiene garden roses to compliment flowers that have either pink or yellow undertones. They are a soft, off white garden rose with a subtle peachy/beige undertone that compliments those other off white blooms.

She's lush, romantic & fragrant! We make sure to design all of our designs with intention by manipulating color, texture & movement✨

We still have a couple of weekends available for 2023 & booking through April 2024! If you're someone who loves attention to detail & the beauty of flowers, we'd love to hear your ideas! Inquire through our website (link on bio) & share those thoughts with us. We flowers wherever your story takes place, feel free to connect with us🤍

A little behind the scenes of Laura & David's whimsical, Monet inspired wedding at the @rosewoodmansionturtlecreek yesterday🌿✨ When Laura & I first met, we immediately clicked & swoon over her ideas, Pinterest board & color palette. She was such a kind & sweet bride to work with & could not thank her enough for trusting Monarch & Marigold Studio to be a part of her dreamy wedding! Our blue plumbago & zinnias had bloomed just in time for their wedding day & so happy to had seen them in the centerpieces & bridal bouquet. We take personalization to a next level! Gosh, I'm still swooning over this...

A little sweetheart table moment for Itzel at @lucky_spur_ranch this past December✨ Itzel booked me back in mid 2021 when I was still doing business as La Fuente de Flores, barely getting any clients & so we go way back. She was one of my first wedding clients so she holds a sweet spot in my heart. She pushed her wedding from July 2022 to December 2022. So this wedding was anticipated for such a long time & there couldn't have been a better wedding to finish my 2022. She had such a dreamy vision to do laid back, organic garden-inspired florals meet rustic. Now, if you look at my work, my style is far from rustic but I had to play it safe with my flower recipe to blend a mix of traditional rustic inspired greens like the bunny tails, scabiosa pods, clematis pods & limonium & use my focal blooms to bring in the garden inspired look. (Daffodils, tulips, garden roses & spray roses) I think we hit the spot on the perfect rustic meets garden look. Anything timeless garden, cottage core, organic & intimate inspired is my kind of look. If you're looking for a 2024 florist, head over to my website (link on bio) to reach out to us with your lovely vision! We followed wherever your story takes place so don't hesitate to reach out to us🌿 [ #floristsofinstagram #dallasweddingflorist #dfwflorist #fortworthflorist #destinationweddingflorist #dallaswedding #organicfloraldesign #weddingplanning2023 #2024wedding #weddinginspiration #sweethearttable #bridalmusings #northtexasweddings #texasweddingflorist #floralinspiration #bridalinspiration #mauvewedding #rusticgarden #seattleweddingflorist #winterwedding ]

Gosh, we love floral installations! Floral installations can be beautiful, versatile & costly. Depending on different factors such as time, labor, materials & how detailed it is, some can start as low as $450 and can surpass $2k+. But what's so special about these floral installations that I should invest into them? Well, they make your photos pop beautifully & you can easily opt out of detailed centerpieces to squeeze room for an installation that will leave everyone's jaws on the floor. They will elevate your space with such a visual punch & creates such a great immersive guest experience! These installations without a doubt make your event feel lush, moving & intimate. If have some dreamy ideas for your event go ahead & tell us through the inquiry form on our website! We are booking through early spring 2024. We flower wherever your story takes place so don't hesitate to reach out✨ [ #floralinstallation #floraltunnel #flowersofinstagram #dallasweddings #dallasweddingflorist #dfwflorist #dfwweddings #destinationflorist #seattleweddingflorist #northtexasweddings #bridalmusings #weddinginspiration #2023wedding #2024wedding #weddingflowers #weddingtips #receptionflowers #texasflorist ]

This comes from a florist who's been in the industry in both the any occasion & wedding facet of floral design for 4+ years. 🌷 🌷 Valentine's & Mother's Day season is ALWAYS chaos's. No matter how many people you hire & no matter how far in advance you plan for it, both seasons are a handful. Flowers fluctuate in price all year round but literally sky rocket based on demand around these holidays. We also have deadlines with wholesalers. Most of them only give us about two weeks to order our blooms from their special catalogs nearly A MONTH before prices increases further more. That being said, if you book a florist so last minute or decide to share your I do's during those periods, you'll more than likely pay 2-3x the cost. 🌷 There's also peak & off peak months. Sept.-Oct. being the most popular ones... most of your vendors more than likely book dates within these months a year in advance. And just like them, us florists book these dates up once couples book their must-have vendors (venue, photog., and planner/coordinator). So if there's a florist you absolutely love, you might want to reach out to them sooner than later if you're marrying in Sept. or Oct. Just some food for thought. We'd hate for you to jump into planning blindly, that's why there's a handful of vendors in the wedding community always sharing tips🤍 [ #bridalbouquet #springweddingflowers #bridalinspiration #weddingtips #bridaltips #weddingsofinstagram #tipsforengagedcouples #floristtips #bridalmusings #whimsicalflowers #organicfloraldesign #underthefloralspell #dallasweddingflorist #dfwflorist #seattleweddingflorist #pnwflorist #2023weddingplanning #2024wedding #northtexasweddings #destinationweddingflorist #texasflorist ]
