This last October, I was so blessed to do the flowers for my niece's wedding. I have watched this darling girl grow up for many years. She is smart, witty, an exceptional baker, and beautiful! I am so excited to see where life takes her and her new hubby. I always love to see what my brides choose for their flowers. I thought that her combination of deep maroon, peach, pink, and rust turned out to be the perfect combination for an October wedding. Love you Francis and Spencer!! I felt so honored to do your flowers!

This wreath took me 3 flower seasons to complete. Talk about a lot of marigolds and chamomile! Anyhow, it is lovely and perfect for the fall! It is made of homegrown marigolds. chamomile, branches from my forsythia bushes, and wire. It is simply stunning and could use a good home in someone's house. I have not sprayed the flowers with any preservatives . . . it is just plain dried material. For the longest life it would be best to keep it in a warm dry place. Let me know if you are interested in it. It must be picked up . . . I will not be able to ship it. Dimensions are 20" by 21 ". Cost is $100.

Oh man! Fall has finally come in with chilly days and my flower season is at an end. So many lovely bouquets! So many wonderful customers! Thank you all so much!! Now it is time to turn my attention to preparing for the spring. Tiny snapdragons, dianthus, feverfew, and campanula have been planted out. Ranunculus are in the garage growing roots. And I am feverishly trying to cut out old flowers, w**d my gardens, and prepare for the winter. Wreaths are next in the line up :). Stay tuned for more information.

I just received these pictures from an open house I did for my daughter at my home. This time I used flowers just from my garden. The difference was amazing! I loved the vibrancy, colors, and unique textures. I love all flowers and admire all the farmers around the world . . . but local flowers really do carry such a special quality about them. My daughter said she loved this bouquet the best (don't tell Ecuador!).

Yes, I was one of those crazy mothers who decided to do the flowers for her daughter's wedding. It took some extra planning and creative executing . . . but in the end I was so glad to have done them! The flowers were to last for two days and I did not have a cooler (Oh my!) Regardless, I took the opportunity to try some new things . . . such as using different flowers and greenery than what I typically use, making two different flower crowns, creating a ground arch, and making boutonnières backed by a clip. I figured that as long as I had the flowers . . . why not do some different things? This led to a few failures . . . but I came out of it having learned a lot.

Once again, I have been excited for weeks to show you these wedding pictures! This wonderful bride is very near and dear to my heart. She is good to the core, smart, brave, kind, thoughtful, determined . . . and my daughter! How blessed I am to be her mother! Isn't she a beautiful bride?!

Thank you to Melanie Paxton Photography for capturing such an important moment in our lives! I was blessed 25 years ago to have Melanie do my own wedding shoot. I was tickled pink to have her come back and shoot my daughter's wedding. How time flies!

I just loved how this mantle came together! I used hydrangeas, carnations, butterfly ranunculus, oncidium, and greenery from my garden! I still dream about all the ways I could decorate a mantle with flowers . . . it was so much fun!

I have been so excited to share these pictures with you! This was a lovely wedding I was blessed to do back in May. This wonderful bride took extra efforts to provide me with some amazing pictures of the flowers. I loved how the whites, creams, and yellows came together to create a piece of sunshine. Exactly how I felt about the bride! Thank you to Spring Grove Event Center for creating such a stunning background and to Brittany Titus for the amazing photography! Enjoy!
