Artfully arranged urns are a classic ceremony choice especially if you don't want to impede on an already gorgeous view

Kate and Robbie chose these pedestal urns so their guests could still peek the Long Island sound behind the beautiful gardens at Eolia Mansion . BONUS: they're easy to repurpose in your reception space at a gift table!

Our handsome boy has finally landed 🛬

🌌 Meet Galaxy 🌌

We adopted Galaxy back in November from Shelton Animal Shelter. He is the chillest of chill cat and our boys adore him. It was always our intent for him to be our “shop cat” but I fell in love with him “making biscuits” on my bed every night and keeping my feet warm

Needless to say, he’s here now, ready to welcome our staff and guests 🐈‍⬛ can’t wait for you to meet him!

Just a note too: we are aware we work in a plant and flower shop and many plants are poisonous to kitties. Were being extra cautious so our furry friend doesn’t ingest something harmful

Created this yummy graphic to answer your burning questions about floral preservation longevity and which method is right for your flowers

Air, moisture and sunlight are the B I G 3 offenders when it comes to deteriorating your preserved flowers so the more of those you can reduce, the longer your piece will last

Anyone else feeling the ill effects of DST this morning? ⏰🥱

We have an exciting week in the shop with several client mockups happening and lot’s of fresh flowers everywhere!

What is a mockup you ask?
A mockup is an add-on service we offer where clients can see a sample of their flowers (usually centerpieces or bouquets) alongside candles and other table items. We also get a chance to talk about candle and ribbon colors, linens, flatware, napkins and any other details you need help with.

This is especially great if you’re going at the wedding process without a planner and could use an extra set of eyes to craft your vision.

If you’d like to schedule a mock-up for your upcoming wedding flowers, just give me a shout out by email.

Got a burning design question? Drop it in comments and our community will help you out!

Some things are guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser…like a super cute ring bearer, an open bar, or Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies”

When it comes to my most crowd pleasing flower, the hands down winner is roses 🌹 🌹🌹

They’re always there for you, come in a bajillion colors and the flower most synonymous with love

Happy Valentine's Day to my one and only ❤❤

Fun facts:
❤ My (now) husband and I spent our first Valentine's Day together 21 years ago. We saw the movie version of Chicago

❤ Our youngest son's middle name is Valentine. He was named after my mom's dad

❤ Last Valentine's Day I made my Live TV debut on WFSB's Great Day Connecticut. It was slightly terrifying but mostly fun! You can check out that segment here: https://www.wfsb.com/video/2023/02/14/flowers-are-flying-off-shelves-valentines-day/

For a long time I felt kind of embarrassed by my winding, weaving career path. I so wish I could go back to my 18 year old self and give her a big hug and tell her “you will figure it all out” So if you’re someone feeling stuck and lost, just know that the weaving winding path is much more interesting I can’t wait to see what I’m up to when I’m 50! 😘 Kate Photo by @jessra_photos

OBSESSED with last weekends color palette Not sure if it’s because if Barbie mania but definitely sure it’s because of these @davidaustinweddingroses. These are “Darcey” from @alexandrafarms and they make me feel pride and prejudice at how beautiful they are…see what I did there? This bouquet has lovely pops of verbena, lisianthus, and snapdragons too 😻😻😻😻 #magentabouquet #vivamagenta #pantonecoloroftheyear #barbiewedding #barbie #ctweddingflowers #boldwedding

Let’s Get to Know Each Other...

I'm Kate LaPietra, the founder, owner, and chief flower officer of Fountainhead Floral Design.

I absolutely love spreading beauty into people lives through flowers. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, excitement!

I left a career in public service behind to follow my flower dream, but I've never lost my spirit for serving the public. I want to be the person that injects your world with more color!

I'm a "jill-of-all-trades", a small-town, youngest child, creative, and a pretty good cook. I pride myself on being down-to-earth, a good listener, and always ready to break the silence with a witty remark. I love my dog (Pippa), my parents, all the COLORs, and margaritas with extra salt and a side of Grey's Anatomy.
