Today I was encouraged to stretch my myself in the area of faith and reach for the sun like the sunflower. As I reflect on this, I was reminded of my time spent yesterday at the flower farm. This is my top 3 places to go uwind. Anyway, as I was strolling the fields and cutting flowers, I came across a patch of sunflowers. Sunflowers have a special place in my heart as they remind me of my time with my grandmother. Interesting factoid, sunflowers have a feature called heliotropism- which means they follow the sun. Sunflowers swing their heads by growing a little more on the east side of the stem — pushing the head west — during the day and a little more on the west side at night, so the head swings back toward the east.
As I was at Earl Grey Flower Farm yesterday, I learned that sunflowers can grow to 12 feet high. The record is 30 feet tall.
So I say all this to say as we go into the new week, have faith and reach for the sun.

Ah the hydrangea aka the dramatic queens of the floral world. And they have every right to be, just look at them. Interesting fact, there are over 75 species of hydrangea. They are also natural testers of acidity in soil. They will change colors according to the ph in the soil. They can actually reach up to 15 feet in height, and their flower heads can grow up to 12 inches in diameter, like these guys! When I first saw these guys I gasped and then yelled out, “ooh they look like cotton candy.” This was probably due to the fact that I was hungry. I digress. A word of caution about hydrangea…you must rule over them with a firm hand. They can detect weakness and smell fear from a mile away. If you don’t display dominance, they will go and do something wretched and unprofessional like die on you the night before an event. I still love these wretched beasts. Now let me go and whisper sweet nothings to them so they will stay alive.

Do SMALL things with GREAT love. The smallest things that you do from the heart reach the very heart of the person that it was intended for. And I promise you, your cup of love will never be empty.

Today I celebrate progress and my floral journey. Here is the first arrangement that I ever made. Even now I remember the feeling of joy, excitement, and sense of accomplishment. Im so happy that I saved this to look back at the moment that I fell in love with floristry.

When I first launched my floral design business, I drafted a mission statement and motto. Both of things are woven into the DNA fibres of my floral work. Following these things have kept and continue to ground me. They are….
My mission statement
To spread love, joy, cheer, and comfort through flowers using color and eco sustainable practices. My motto Beautiful flowers are for everyone and everyday.
What you see here is a weekly reminder of those commitments to myself. Weekly, I voluntarily design this Welcome sign for my fellow congregants. I do this out of my passion for flowers and out of love for others. In this small way, my desire is for everyone to have access to beautiful flowers and experience joy, even if it’s just in passing for 5 minutes.

totally made my day today with these Coral Charm Peonies and Ranunculus. Aren’t they just delicious?? I smile every time I look at them. They fill me with so much joy. And yes florists and floral designers love receiving flowers just as much giving them.

Pocket Squares😍!!
Meet the new floral sensation popping up in all the stylish on trend weddings. They are the answer to this season’s version of the traditional boutonnière. The best part…no pin. Although I am skilled in wiring traditional boutonnières, these are my favorite to create. In 3 years from now I predict that the pocket square will be as classic and timeless as the traditional boutonnière.

Hi Im Roberta the creative force behind Hiawathia Floral Design Co. Random fact time because I live for a good random fact…Hiawathia is my middle name and I share this name with my mother and grandmother. Hiawathia Floral Design Co is significant to me because my entire life I have ran away from this part of myself. You see I wanted to be like everyone else around me growing up. I knew that I was different than everyone around me and unfortunately I wasnt comfortable in myself to own it. I chose this name as a way of fully embracing myself and the uniqueness that I bring into the world. It is also a reminder for myself to choose to step into the light each and every day. I want this for you too. Let’s step into the light together.

Alstomeria, what SOME florists and floral designers consider the ROSS of flowers. I however have grown quite fond of their simplicity, and color detail. When they finally open fully, they are stunning beauties. Just a little reminder to myself that simplicity in its purest forms are powerful.

You! yes YOU! Can make a difference right where you are. Sometimes we think that if we dont have grande ideas, then we have nothing to contribute. That is so NOT true. Act on faith and go after those what you think are small unimportant ideas. You can make a difference right in your own backyard. Last Friday, I thought it would be nice to be able to recycle my bottles at work. I just didn’t want to keep throwing them away. I made an inquiry that landed nowhere, so I took action myself. And guess what, people embraced it. And it feels great. Happy Friday Eve.

This weekend was a productive time spent in my flower lab. Im always looking for forward thinking ideas to incorporate into my designs. This design was something that I made for a friend who lost his mom this past week. I wanted to honor her love of red flowers. While thinking of these two I thought how to celebrate life in the midst of grieving. Im doing so, I thought it would be nice to incorporate a small succulent into the arrangement, so that once these flowers are spent, life still remains via the succulent. Going forward all my bouquets will have this feature, which I will call a living bouquet. P.s. I never thought I would see the day that I would willingly like and use alstomeria, but here we are. .

Met Gala was over 2 months ago, however, floral inspiration is never past tense. This is one of my favorite dresses that evening. Did you know that true blue flowers are a little less common. And so blue flowers have a spot reserved in my heart. For this design, I used blue thistle to replicate the texture and whimsy of the shoulders. I also used Ocean Blue poms, these are a new breed of flowers and are naturally blue. Ok I will be honest, I really wanted an excuse to use these flowers in a design. And so when I see them at my wholesaler, I scoop them up.

Today I completed Step 2 of my 100% compostable bridal bouquet, greening. I used Pittosporum branches which will provide secondary support for the actual flowers. The photos don’t do this plant justice. The color variation on the leaves are sooo incredible. Stay tuned for Step 3…Flowering.

As an aspiring sustainable floral designer, my charge is to create beautiful and spectacular floristry using methods that make the least impact on our environment and will reduce waste and consumption. I have vowed to personally to not use floral foam and limit other one time use plastics in my designs. I do use other methods such as chicken wire and natural foam which is biodegradable and water asorbing. I am constantly experimenting with other methods and techniques as I continue to educate myself. A couple weeks ago I made a new flower friend, Luke who has further inspired me and pushed me to go even further in my sustainability journey. I am experimenting with making a bridal bouquet that will be 100% compostable from the florals, ribbon, and armature(which is a support base for the bouquet.) For bouquets I have traditionally used the spiral hand tied method, but I wanted to try a different shape.
Step 1. So I wanted to use materials that I can easily forage or resource for my armature. I threw out my idea to Luke and he graciously helped me transform my idea to reality. So what you see here is honeysuckle vine that I foraged on one of my daily walks. They were winded and made into 3 orbs. This will be the support structure for my bouquet. Stay tuned for the next step: greening.

It was just s month ago that I flew to MN to attend this fabulous workshop by one of my fave flower friends and I consider flower mentor . I talked a little about this workshop in another post before but everytime I see these pics in my gallery, I get a stab of joy. 1. These are innovative designs, the kind that gives me jolt of electricity. 2. They are done with eco friendly, sustainable methods; need I say more. 3. The colors, omg, the colors. Anyway, im tasking myself with these designs next month with hydrangea. Stay tuned.

Ok confession time….the original inspiration dress for this design was Gayle King’s limeade dress. But I saw these yellow parrot tulips and was like, im digging these real bad and in the cart they went. (Like most things) And as i was trying to upload, I came across this Met Gala dress, and was like , “aye yo, this totally works. “ 🤷🏾‍♀️
