This week we had two classes with Minnetonka Community Ed. One for adults and one for adults and children. Everyone started with the same materials and they all ended with unique arrangements. No two were alike because no two people are alike. I love watching people create art. ❤️

The fog hangs low, the air stands still,
As if the Earth herself is held against her will.
A quiet hush, a breathless plea,
The world is waiting—so it seems to me.

She calls me gently, with a silent sigh,
To bring back life, to help her rise,
Yet here I stand, in sorrow’s grip,
A heart weighed down, a breath that slips.

What happened, I ask, to make her weep?
The wounds of time, so vast, so deep.
I long to understand, to find the way
To breathe again, to heal the day.

But in this stillness, I too am caught,
Held by shadows of a battle fought.
The Earth is waiting, yet I stand still,
My soul too heavy, my heart too chill.

Still, she calls, her voice a breath,
A whisper soft against the death
Of dreams once bright, now dimmed with grief—
Yet in her cry, there’s still belief.

Perhaps, I think, if I could start,
To move, to breathe, to heal my heart,
I might return the breath she seeks,
And help the world—restore the weak.

It isn’t spring yet but it certainly feels like it is.

Does anyone else have a hard time eating a meal after they’ve spent so much time tasting and smelling it while they cook? A feeling of being full before you even eat. I sometimes feel that way with flowers and not wanting to work with the leftovers when events and workshops are done. Not every time but definitely around Valentine’s Day. I spend hours and hours with a certain assortment of flowers selecting, processing, teaching, cleaning up, etc. that by the time arrangements are made and workshops are complete I’m feeling kind of full. Often times I send leftovers home with whoever stays to help me clean up or throw them in a simple vase to hand off to custodians. I would rather someone else take them off my hands. Well, I didn’t have anyone who wanted the leftovers this week and they’ve been sitting in a bucket for a few days. I finally made myself a Valentine’s Day floral arrangement. Better late than never. Didn’t use it all as I’m still feeling a bit “full” and ended up with a cut and plop. Meh, you can’t be a pro every day.

Unpopular opinion: I love greenery in floral arrangements.

Floral trends are heavy on the flowers only styles and almost shunning arrangements with greens. Have you noticed this in your feed as much as I have?

While flower-only styles are absolutely lovely and certainly have their moment I am still a big fan of the contrast and texture that can be achieved by adding foliage.

If you have a cutting garden and you don’t have enough blooms foliage can add the bulk to wanted. Using greens also stretches your budget (especially during the foraging months). However, not all greens are the same.

It is important to consider how they’ll blend with the different textures and colors of the flowers you are using. For example: if I had used eucalyptus and other dusty grey blue foliage with this all white flower theme we wouldn’t see the dramatic contrast that we get with gardenia, nagi, ferns, and aralia.

In spite of the trends you see it is okay to go green!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and it’s the busiest week in the floral world. Are you a pinks and reds on Valentine’s Day kind of person or do you prefer a different color palette?

I am working on some big changes in 2024 and have found myself going through photos from all the weddings and events I have done over last 15 years. It has been fun reliving these events. This reminds me how important it is to capture photos, even if they’re not going to end up on a wall or in a photo album or a website gallery. We can’t remember every aspect of our lives, nor every detail from important events, but we can take the time to look through the photos for glimpses into the past.

I’m filling my feed with winter images in the hopes that it brings some snow for Christmas.

The last wreath I made in 2023 is for my home. I love using all the beautiful textures and colors of nature and love knowing that my little ones and my husband helped collect the lichen covered sticks. #

There is still time to sign up for my winter workshops or to get a group together for a private class. Link below.

Decorating for the season. I gave my 12yo a box of dried flowers, a pile of kenzan frogs, pumpkins, pomegranates, and candles and said “go ahead!” . He is one talented kiddo. Thankful for children who love making pretty things as much as I do and thankful for my mom who gave me the opportunity to learn how to do this on my own, as well ❤️

Another great wreath workshop with for their client appreciation winter event. Such a great group of people. So warm and inviting and always a joy to work along side. I truly have the best job.

Another winter season is underway and my first stop is Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Excelsior. I always love doing their pots and chatting with church staff, members, preschool parents, and teachers. Thanks for another fun afternoon giving my calluses a workout. I should wear gloves more often.

Who has two thumbs and is excited for a thanksgiving workshop tomorrow? 👍🏻👍🏻 This girl.

When picking color schemes of your decor it’s important to remember that photos are often filtered. Flowers will look different depending on shadows, lighting, exposure, aperture, and filters/tools used during editing, etc. What a flower looks like in a photo may not be exactly as it appears the way of your event.

If anyone is wondering why I still have my winter wreath up on my front door it’s because a little house finch family decided to make it their home. #protectedandsafe. #homesweethome #housefinch

Had a fantastic time taking the Paints and Pints class with @merrytimearts and @minnetonkafoundation at @excelsior_brewing. As an educator I have to believe that everyone can at least try a new skill and try I certainly did. I’m so excited to sign up for another class and want to bring my husband and kids next time to see how our art compares. It was so fun!!!

Making celebration of life arrangements today for a dear friend’s grandma. Whether for a baby shower, wedding, birthday party, or funeral, it’s an honor to be asked to participate in such personal moments. Hopefully my clients feel the love I share with them with each placement of a leafy green or flower. #memorialflowers #nofloralfoam #minnetonkaflorist

Centerpiece workshops were so much fun this year! I managed to get photos of about half the people which is 2x what I normally do. Self promotion isn’t a strength of mine. If you have pictures of your creations from a workshop this year please send them my way or tag @lainemoire so I can share your amazing work. #floralarrangementworkshop #floralworkshop #wintercenterpiece #minnetonkacommunityed

Just a few shots of the youth and adult education classes last night. It was so fun! Wood boxes made by youth at @elpis_enterprises #floralworkshop #lainemoireworkshop #minnetonkacommunityed #createeveryday #nofloralfoam #agrawool #elpisenterprises

An order for one dozen roses looks a bit different when it’s for a friend. #onedozenroses #whiteroses #flowersforfriends #nofloralfoam #agrawool

Checked in on the garden at Scenic Heights Elementary. The plants are happy, the butterflies and bees are happy, I am happy. We had a multitude of volunteers tending the space over the last few months. #pollinatorgarden #schoolgarden
