Being a florist ( and a planner ) is like having an advanced degree in arts and crafts. 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely loved creating these flower place cards for .owo ‘s wedding last year .

What moment are you looking forward to the most? ​​​​​​​​
Some couples say it’s when their partner walks down the aisle, when they see the other person for the first time. Some say cocktail hour, and yet others are all about the cake cutting. For those of you that have been married, did your most important moment of the day live up to all the hype in your head? Or did the creation of a completely new moment take first place?

I’m standing here in the studio processing and prepping ranunculus and it reminds me of this bouquet. Truly one of my favorite, and I’m going to try to create something similar for ‘s big day this Saturday. Fingers crossed!

Trust. ​​​​​​​​
It’s easier to read than act on sometimes. This can be even more challenging when you’re new to an area-like weddings. For many of us a wedding is a one-time occurence (fingers crossed). Thousands of dollars are flying out of your bank account and it can be unnerving. Did I make the right choice? Could I have found a better deal somewhere else? Maybe if I just send one more picture I’ll feel more confident in my choice and the amount of money I’ve agreed to spend. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Take a breath, pull back for a moment. Do you actually trust your vendor? Vendors can tell when clients give us lip service but then question every.single.thing. we suggest. ​​​​​​​​
Many own a company that has their name front and center. They are the face of their business, so if something goes sideways they personally will need to fix it. It takes an incredible amount of self-confidence to put yourself out there professionally. Yes-they think about your event after business hours. Yes- they’ll work on your concept more than they’d like to admit. Yes-your event consumes their thoughts. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Wedding vendors are people-pleasers to a fault. Many have trouble with boundaries because they just want to make the client happy 😆. But all kidding aside, please trust the professionals you’ve hired. A lack of trust only limits the incredible things that vendors can dream up and execute for you.

Get excited but don’t get too excited yet, everyone’s favorite puffs of flower goodness are almost here. Yes, it is almost peony season. ​​​​​​​​
Even when in season, you’ll notice an increased cost just for a single stem, versus other flowers. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So why do peonies cost so much? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It can take 2-3 years for a peony bush to produce any blooms. If you are a commercial farm, that is a long time to wait for these beauties to start producing. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
However, once established, the bushes can last decades. With proper care, peonies will outlive whoever planted them-kind of crazy, right? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As with the best things in life, peony season is short. A short time on the market means increased demand for when they are in season. And when they’re available, they will cost more because they are not always available. ​​​​​​​​
The higher the demand for these puffs increases their cost every year. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Lastly-another reason peonies are expensive is their sheer size. It can take many flowers to cover the same amount of space in an arrangement. And we as florists, need to account for each stem and its coverage in every single arrangement.

I’m so excited to say that I’ve just planted my first batch of zinnias today. It might be a little early, but I couldn’t help myself. ​​​​​​​​
Zinnias are one of my favorite flowers to use in the Summer and Fall, and I’ve started to plant now for a couple events that will need A LOT of them. ​​​​​​​​
Fingers crossed these little guys sprout!
