It’s engagement season, a time of huge joy, excitement and … sticker shock at the price of wedding flowers. So I figure it’s a good time to share with you all again my thoughts on why:

Flowers are expensive.

It is a joy to go out in our yards and cut some flowers that just appear as the seasons change, but annual cultivated flowers take planning, seeding, planting, caring, staking, pruning, cutting, processing. There’s a lot to growing those perfect stems. Flowers are a labor intensive product to grow and the people who do that, often back breaking, labor deserve to get paid a living wage.

Another reason we don’t think flowers should cost much is because of those supermarket bouquets. Supermarket flowers have gone a long way in devaluing flowers. We are so used to going in to our local grocery store or Trader Joe’s and picking up a bouquet of flowers for under $10. That is not what flowers cost! Trader Joe’s, for example, sells their flowers at a loss because it’s a great way to get people into their stores. But that hurts the industry as a whole.

Local farmers and florists have an uphill battle to climb to fight that expectation. How do we explain to our customers that a single peony in a bridal bouquet costs $10.80 when you can pick up 10 stems for $9 at Trader Joe’s?? That’s one-third the wholesale cost of peonies.

So you start with a $3 wholesale cost for a peony, how does it get to $10.80?

It was a pretty cold way to spend a day but loved getting to create this wild organic installation for in using “trash” from past events and twigs from shrubs I lost in the drought this summer. I love the life cycle of plants, and I think dried up vines and dried bits and bobs are just as beautiful as flowers.
What do you think?

Finally a moment to share my last and most special wedding of the year. I am always so honored to be chosen to be such an integral part of a wedding day, made infinitely more special when you are doing flowers for someone in your family which I got to do three times this year! My wedding season started with my cousin’s wedding and finished with my niece’s wedding at the absolutely stunning Great Hall , a spectacular gilded age mansion. I can not wait for the professional photos from but for now, here a few of mine from the ceremony.
As always, entirely foam free with as much local and sustainable grown as possible.
Thanks for the incredible work and tolerating my barking orders!
