never ceases to impress with her tasty AND beautiful creations!

Don’t let your cake flowers be an afterthought as they so often are. Questions I always ask my couples who request cake flowers:

📐 What size is your cake? (Multiple tiers? Single cutie cake? 3+ tier statement??)

🕰️ What time is your cake arriving and will it be refrigerated? If your florist is done with reception setup at 4pm but your cake isn’t arriving at 8pm, we should arrange a hand-off to your baker instead of waiting around for 4 hours…

👩🏻‍🍳 Am I providing loose flowers for the baker or would you like me to design on the cake? Who is my point person for locating the cake?

I’ve worked together with and she always watches my stories to mix her colors to coordinate with the flowers - because always pulls together the best team 🙌 and we are dedicated to our clients!

My flower selection process is based on what I can control and know:

1. Non toxic - many ornamentals are poisonous. Everyone has different comfort levels but I stick to flowers that are not

2. Garden grown - the only way I know for sure no pesticides have been used is if I know the grower’s practices or flowers I grew myself. When I can get the palette to match up with what’s blooming I will include these, but anything purchased from the flower market has a risk of pesticide use - and organically grown does *not* mean there were no pesticides, nor that those pesticides are safer to eat. The best approach is what PQ has done here, so the buttercream that was touching the flowers can be scraped away.

3. Hold up out of water: some flowers will flop quickly without a water source.

I can’t believe it’s already November. Where did this year go??

While there are fewer events in the “off-season”, it’s also a busy time for proposals (the ones I send off for inquiries and the down on one knee kind as well 💍) and also when I start to find time to really spend time with the beautiful galleries photographers have kindly shared with me and pick through the best of hundreds to thousands of images to update my website portfolio. It’s the perfect time to be working ON my business and not just IN my business and provide mentorship for other florists who are looking to do the same

But we aren’t there yet! Two more events this month before we wrap up the season, and excited for both.

Just taking a moment to admire Bali, this gorgeous pinky melon dahlia with gold tips that give a little head nod to the golden Ixia. Golden Hour zinnias from my little cutting garden for a special touch.

Late summer/early fall is the perfect time to embrace color!

always providing the most beautiful and fresh ingredients that make our designs shine!

Color makes the mood. One of the things I look for in flowers is complexity in color. The closer you study it the more you realize there is a whole universe within it, and the color palettes you can build from those details are what makes an arrangement feel elevated.

This is also why the direction of lighting can completely change how a flower appears. Whether the light is traveling through the transparent front or reflected from the more opaque back changes what color you are seeing!

Watercolor felt like a logical choice to explore this transparency of color, both blending from primary colors and layering the resulting pigments over each other in washes of different saturation.

Evening Glow and River City share many of the same colors in different proportions.

One of the things I often hear from clients is they give me barely any direction, just a couple photos, and I can translate what may be hard to put into words into exactly what they were hoping for.

had exactly one bunch of these smaller Cafe au Lait Dahlias (I suspect cafe mini) that I requested they hold for me so they wouldn’t get crushed as I shopped the rest of the market for the next 3 hours 😆 regular Cafe au Lait is too large and heavy for bouquets most of the time, and these petals are a little less loose so they hold up better.

Juliet garden roses

Apricot Lemonade and Sulfureous Cosmos, Peach ranunculus

The most beautiful buttery oncidiums

Should I host one more bridal bouquet workshop before the end of the year?

The most magical ceremony floral install amongst the redwoods! We started this design in our studio and finished on-site to extend both upwards and outwards.

My favorite thing about this color palette is working in that unexpected mauve (as a nod to the flower girl dresses!) to a bright and fiery palette. These design choices are what make it truly bespoke to your special day.

Dahlias from my garden this year that mostly never made it to my grid. Who’s your favorite?

1: Peach Fuzz
2: KA’s Mocha Jo
3: Peaches n Ceeam (mine are much more blush, less orange)
4: Sandia Bliss
5: maybe Hillier Tanunda
6: Levi’s Sunfire
7: KA’s Keltie Rose
8: KA’s Rosie Jo
9: KA’s Cinder Rose
10: Carolina Wageman (all of mine with very few petals, but holding out hope that next year will be better because tells me she’s a good girl 😂)

Next year I need to be better about staking, fertilizing, and I think I can’t avoid spraying. I did manage to get the cucumber beetles relatively under control (with my bare hands ewwww 🤢) but the leaf miners were out of control. Most of these will get the insurance treatment (I might stick some cuttings in the ground and see what happens??) and dig and divide, in the hopes that they survive my love/neglect, and I do really want these to survive and hopefully grow more of each next year! At the moment I usually only have enough to tuck in a bridal bouquet/sweetheart arrangement, but maybe over time as I get better at growing dahlias I’ll be able to multiply more 🤞🤞
