I love how serene and almost old fashion this fall-inspired bouquet is. So many different and unusual element within it. Loved this in every way.

I thought this was the most gorgeous spot for a garden ceremony. Winterthur walled in garden was so serene and beautifully landscaped that you almost did not need florals…I said almost. A huge discontinuous archway was literally ketchup on the hotdog.

Many of you know that, in my former life, I was a geologist. I think that my floral designs really embody a very wildflower/environmental look to them as a result. Prior to getting married, I remember that my future husband would proudly brag to his friends that I was such an outdoorsy girl who loved to camp and hike, etc. Well not anymore (for camping) as I now love my comfortable iComfort mattress and my peach skin sheets in my temperature controlled room with a fan on high to serve as “white noise”. Unfortunately, my husband did not get the memo that I no longer like to camp. Bless his heart, he surprised me on our recent trip out west with 2 days/nights in a tent in the middle of nowhere with no electricity. He even paid extra for a moonroof above our mattress so that we could have a romantic, unobstructed view of the stars and Milky Way. As luck would have it, a cold front came through our first night which gave us a spectacular display of hail, sleet, violent lightning and thunder and 50 mph winds pounding on the canvas. It was so cold in the morning that we could see our breath! [A later look at the “hotel’s” marketing brochure promised that our stay was the ultimate Glamping experience one could ever have.] I failed to see where the glam was. But nonetheless, I was so glad we did it together and that we rode out the storm.

My maple tree outside my office is right now as bright and brilliant as this small arrangement. The “ small fuzzy yellow balls” on a branch are actually called mimosa flowers. So cool and they add such a great element to any florals.

How cool is this idea? A friend of the bride used this photo, made it black and white and then needlepointed color back to all of the flowers. So beautiful and creative!

Wowser…how’s this for steamy? Pasties were applied to this beautiful model who happened to be lying in a luscious mahogany bed in the middle of a field. Cue the romantic music!

Unicorns, princesses and fairy godmothers…..look at this beauty! This overall look was curated by a crack team composed of a stylist, a makeup artist, a photographer and, of course, yours truly. Every last detail was seen to! Loved every second working with this team to create this look. This is what dreams are made of.

Manipulating leaves/flowers to go with the vibe is a favorite of mine. Why have a green monstera leaf when you can change its color to peach to go with the delicious orange ranunculus? Do you agree with fooling with Mother Nature?

This ginormous hanging installation was floating on top of the dance floor. The bride and groom walked from their ceremony location to the reception for their first look of the florals. It was love at first sight!

Well, I’ve officially reached a terrible milestone. Greg and I were waiting for a shuttle bus to take us to the drop off point for the Narrows hike in Zion National Park. A park ranger was directing people to the various buses to make the line go faster. The middle aged woman-ranger looked at me and said you can sit in the front in the reserved seats (for seniors). WTF. So, I finally look old, goddamnit. The ranger’s comment to me was literally as bad as asking an overweight person when they are due. Except in my case, it was kinda true. I guess it’s time to ditch the capris, f***y pack and comfortable shoes with almond shaped toes.

I love using archways for ceremonies because they can be moved inside the venue for a double whammy reuse. More bang for your floral buck!!

Splendor in the grass…..this photo was shot in the middle of a meadow on an antique mahogany bed with vintage bedding (from ). captured .richardson_ in the most beautiful light. Finally, Steele Orchid created a shoulder tattoo made of fresh flowers to add to the organic-ness of the shot. Truly splendid!

Steele Orchid

I have a passion for flowers and creating designs that have a WOW factor. My love for flowers came from my mother who was a horticulturalist and designed gardens and floral arrangements. She won many awards, often the top ones, at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Although I do not have formal training like my mentor, it’s in my blood!

As much as possible, I use locally sourced flowers, oftentimes from my own garden! My moto, when it comes to arranging, is that more is more - the more flowers used, the better and the bigger the arrangement, the better. Steele Orchid uses color, texture and design combinations that are typically totally unexpected.

Steele Orchid designs custom bouquets for proms and weddings, and flower arrangements for showers, parties, and other events.
