We're mid way through our road trip filled with stunning scenery. Banff and surroundings were majestic, Jackson, Wy is beautiful as well as everything inbetween.

Beautiful rainy day wedding at Saltwater Farm with intrepid guests that just went with the flow. 12 bridesmaids all in soft citrus colors brightened the day along with those coral peony from the garden.

Although the trend is moving away from abundant greens towards a more flower forward bouquet, there’s something about all those luscious textural greens that speaks to me……..maybe it’s simply because I was born and raised here in the PNW, maybe because it’s calming or maybe because it’s just simply beautiful.

A few weeks ago, the fabulous Satya Curcio spent a day shooting some of my wearable florals. This necklace modeled by Chelsea Thorpe I decided to do at the last minute when I was walking through the garden and saw the last of the hellebore -I couldn’t resist and it ended up being one of my favorites…..especially love it styled with that dress!

Every time I drove by this Chimney at Warm Valley Farm I would dream of the day I could adorn it with flowers. The opportunity finally arose this weekend. Be sure to drop by Warm Valley Farm for their Spring Faire Friday and Saturday 11-4

A little flower crown of Tahiti daffodils that Grace graciously modeled for me. We decided she was channeling a Disney princess in this piece. Thank you

A full weekend of life’s special moments…a baby shower to a wedding and finally a celebration of life.

Spring and Daffodils go hand in hand. I love using daffodils to decorate presents as they last so long.

It's always interesting to see how a project evolves. I had a vision in mind when I started this - curly willow, moss, ferns, a bird's nest and maybe an antler or two. I really didn't plan on using any florals at all but there it is - jasmine from a plant I have in the studio, blue eryngium that I dried last year and pieris from the garden.

Stella and Dave each drove from one end of the island to the other delivering flowers to so many very well deserving mothers. Stella actually delivered arrangements from 9-5 today! We’ve sold all the flowers we had but will be fully restocked with beautiful blooms by Monday afternoon.

Callin’ it a night! Spent the ENTIRE day playing with flowers to shower Mother’s across the island with love from their kids. Tree peonies are starting to pop, lilacs are in full bloom, parrot tulips are still coming on.....lots of goodies from the garden.

05/02/2021

Mother’s Day is just around the corner so if you can’t be with your Mom, shower her with love and flowers. We have some pretty spring flowers from our garden as well as flowers from our usual sources.

A few passion vine blossoms for the anniversary arrangement.

The lengths we go to to keep our flowers happy! My parrot tulips were languishing in the hot sun until I remembered about the umbrellas in my wedding supply stash! Happy tulips, happy florist.

I LOVE this time of year and being able to start foraging from the yard and garden. Spring is so full of hope and renewal after a long winter. Hellebore, Pieris, Scilla, Grape hyacinth and Dog tooth Violet are in full swing then I also added some yellow twig dogwood I had forced as well as some rich wine colored Scabiosa, Sweetpeas, Jasmine, Umbrella fern and Berzillia from Northwest Wholesale Florists.

This beautiful couple decided to elope on Orcas Island at the Outlook Inn during an epic week of rain. The weather broke just after their ceremony for them to be able to stroll through town for some shot outside.
