A li'l classicism for your feed. Quanetra was the sweetest bride. I loved doing her floral design and basking in her happiness. It always makes me smile the rest of my week.

This wedding has a backstory for me. This was in 2021 when weddings were stacked every single week of the year. This was in October the busiest time of the year any year here in NC. Blush flowers were a high commodity. I couldn't get quicksand roses for 3 months! And let's not get started on the floral tape and glue we rely on that could be found nowhere. It was Wednesday and her wedding was Saturday. I had searched for blush flowers for weeks without success. I even tried Trader Joe's and Harris Teeter that week! I knew one of my suppliers got a delivery early Thursday mornings every week. So I got up before the sun rose and drove an hour there. I totally hijacked the blush roses and took. all. of. them. The buyer came to tell me they were for the following week and I couldn't have them. I responded, "No, they're for me this week." I said it nicely but I would've attached myself to the cooler door in protest if they didn't let me have them. I got 'em. LOL

Mary & Mark. Cutest. And one of my favorites - blushing bride protea.

I bet this wasn't the last twirl of the evening for Jenna. (Isn't her dress amazing?!)

When I look at this bouquet I start singing Free Bird. For Jenna who had to reschedule her wedding in Durham which originally was to be held in Asheville. So happy to help but still heartbroken over the storm.

For Alexis. Soft blush and blue. This is the most romantic color palette. Love it.

2 weekends ago, we had a wedding 1.5 hours away. It was too far to drive back home only to drive back for breakdown. My oldest daughter, my best employee ever, and I decided to get mani/pedis while we waited. We were too tired from the setup to do much of anything else. My hands and fingernails were stained from handling so many blooms, so I only wanted a pedicure. The guy doing my toes kept offering to do my hands. He simply couldn't understand that they'd be stained again in a couple of days. Finally he said he wanted to clean them only. LOL The ppl in the flower industry are the only ones who understand why we're ok walking around with stained fingernails.

Valentines in October. This went on a lovely fireplace mantle as a backdrop for the ceremony.

Fall color weddings won't start until next week for us. In the meantime, I'm loving the two pallettes we did this weekend. Red and pink. Purple and green. Congrats to both couples!

Beautiful bride Sydni. Those bricks make a stunning backdrop - aren't they just the right color? This trend of white roses and baby's breath is becoming a classic.

Sometimes it's nice to put a spotlight on the couple's supporting characters - family and best friends. Here's a sampling of blooms made for those of Kenzie & her sweetie, Zach.
