Did you know… Yellow is an intense, motivating color that triggers feelings of happiness. It tends to bring out your intelligence, wisdom, and creativity and is the most optimistic, hopeful color (probably because it’s associated with sunlight). Thanks Google!!

Two days of installing in the most extreme heat of the Summer and my first time teaching others. I could not be more proud of my team and all the hard work they put in for @westwind_hills open house. It was amazing to meet so many WWH brides and we cannot wait to continue making this space look gorgeous. Cheers to 2025 and Cheers to COLOR!!!

Watch how we build our hanging greenery hedges. Simply start with a 1x6x12’ board and watch the magic happen. Remember the goal is to keep the installation lush and full but not weighted and heavy. This can be achieved when using the right types of greenery. #smilax #greenhuck #italianruscus #greenery #wedding #floraldesign #weddinginspiration #weddingflorist #weddingflowers #stlwedding #weddingdecor #stlflorist #florist #hangingflowers #hanginggreenery #hanginginstallation #gardenparty
