Oof..

It was suggested to one of our that her baby’s breath heavy be sprayed w/ Febreze if they’re going to be used inside because of its odor. 🫣

Um.. we’re not about poo-pooing other businesses and LOVE working with other & but we can’t sit on this one. We just can’t. We’re not here to name & shame but we gotta talk about this one.

PLEASE do NOT spray your with perfume and/or chemicals. Please do NOT. But why??

3- Ew, we can’t imagine what’s in that stuff but think of flowers like house plants, would you spray those? 🚫

2- Headaches, headaches, headaches. That’s what your scent sensitive guests are going to have inhaling chemical sprays all night. 🚫

1- This one is the BIG one for us; your team has spent months fine tuning the to perfection 😘🤌🏻, your has spent years studying & perfecting their craft — pairing & to their plates 😋🫠 and then 💥 Febreze comes along and slaps the sh*t out of your palate ruining any chance of enjoying the glorious aroma & flavors of their perfectly roasted rosemary chicken!

Febreze belongs in one place.. 🗑️🚮
Love you, mean it. Put that sh*t down!!

It’s a good idea to just say no to all of the really strong smells honestly. NO to lillies, scented candles, air fresheners, etc. Just say no thank you, please. 🚫

It’s going to be another hot and I know the new thing is to give so this week you’re getting a decades worth! 😙

Tips for keeping cool at an during wedding season:

It’s worth repeating ..

STAY. HYDRATED.

Water is your best friend but I know it gets boring and dull, just drink something! Anything!!..
. well not just signature cocktails & wine, get some hydration and electrolytes in there as well!!

And yes, you can absolutely add a selection of our bevs to your planning package and we’ll deliver them to you with a big fat smile!! 😊

Congratulations to all the couples getting married this weekend!! Shout out to my helping me celebrate today!!

It’s going to be another hot and I know the new thing is to give so this week you’re getting a decades worth! 😙

Tips for keeping cool at an during wedding season:

2 words, Shady Retreat.

- If you’re absolutely set on an for look for places with shade trees or architecture that will give you & your guests some much needed respite from the sun throughout the day.

- Ceremony arches, gazebos, trees etc. can all provide shade and cooling as you say your I do’s.

- Umbrellas can protect you from a surprise summer shower like last nights but also a fancy one like Gabrielle’s (pictured) can provide shade for Grammie.

- Say it with me, “Tents. Are. My. Friend”! Protection from all the weather, SHADE and gives you the option to add fans, cooling systems etc.
*Read your contracts because some vendors will require these during extreme weather conditions. 🥵🥶

And pack your sunscreen! Protect your skin!

It’s going to be another hot and I know the new thing is to give so this week you’re getting a decades worth! 😙

Tips for keeping cool at an during wedding season:

People, much like house plants, need . 💦

- add a station to your setup, lemonade & water w/ a few slices of cucumber 😘👌🏻

- your team will likely already have a plan for themselves BUT adding an extra cooler w/ some iced down beverages for the setup crew will keep morale high and your vendor team will LOVE you. 💦

- always, always, always have water available to throughout the night whether in the bottle or repurpose your ceremony hydration station to the space.

- Iced water bottles at the end of the night are a game changer for over heated / over sipped / over danced guests! 💦

Stay cool, stay hydrated, stay kind!

It’s going to be another hot and I know the new thing is to give so this week you’re getting a decades worth! 😙

Tips for keeping cool at an during wedding season:

Fans. Fans. Fans. Fans. Fans.

- You can rent these or even purchase them from a local hardware store. Get them on and blowing asap.

- Grab some portable ones for your like the one I’ll be wearing around my neck this weekend, available online or in most stores.

- They’re not the best BUT even the paper fans at the end of the aisle help.

This last one is going to be on repeat throughout the week, PLEASE be extra kind to the babies & Grammies on the guest list. They are going to need the extra attention and TLC to avoid getting seriously ill from the heat. Personal fans and cool down towels, shady spots for viewing, cold water, etc. 🤍

Anybody else see a big unibrow grump face in these chairs? No. Ok, just me then.

We spent the morning w/ these cuties yesterday creating a garden at the Plumb House in yesterday.

( the Plumb family lived next door to us for many years. 🤍 Charlotte had a very large rock bench she used for feeding her kitties, I asked about it once and it turns out it was a granite step her family used for getting in & out of carriages. 🥂)

Back to it then..

Thank you to Chanda E McGuffin & Sharon for the honor of including us in this opportunity. What a fantastic way for us all to give back to our !

Thank you to the wbohistoricalsociety for the funding, jmdfarmmarket for giving our friends a sweet deal on their plants. Thank you to city member Kenny Lee for rolling up his sleeves and planting!! Thank you to the mamas & helpers at RISE for all of your help as well, you’re rock stars!! ⭐️

And lastly thank you to for the helper aka my husband and the refreshing beverages that kept us all hydrated! 🥤

If you’re ever feeling like you could do more, you can. Contact our friends at RISE and ask how you can help, every dollar and minute you donate makes a difference.

These kiddos inspire us to be the best version of ourselves and I can’t thank them enough for the privilege of being their flower friends. 🥰

We’ve had more than a handful of local people emailing us since our move asking for things ranging from hiring them to take over our social media to setting up food/juice stands in our new parking lot.

None of these emails have addressed us by using our personal or business names, absolutely no interest in knowing what we do, what it would look to partner with us or what we require for , nada.

100% gimme emails, from businesses.

I don’t know how the rest of the world rolls with these things but if you can’t make the effort to get to know us we’re not going to make the effort to respond to your emails.

We work very hard building relationships with our clients, vendors and . If they had bothered to do very minimal research they would know we ourselves on relationships over profits and could’ve saved themselves a wasted email or better yet, become one of our new besties.

First impressions absolutely matter.

This is me w/ Dwayne from , a valued partner of Faded Poppy and dear friend. We have partnered up to help plant a garden to be enjoyed by the community of Waynesboro.

Our small business is an extension of who we are, THIS is what it looks like to partner with us, getting out and investing in the community that invests in us.

Every year we get frantic calls from moms & kiddos asking if we can please, pretty please make a or because they forgot. 🌸

The answer is always yes, of course! Kiddos who go to school dances like grow up to become folk and these mamas & kiddos are loyal.

Big thanks to the mamas & teens supporting this weekend!!

Congratulations to the WHS class of 2024!!

coming at ya this Tuesday.

We LOVE our photog friends & venues and most definitely support the newbies coming up and finding their way into our crazy industry .. but.. flowers (and other perishable items like food & cake) aren’t free babes, especially not right now.

We are paying a premium for the privilege.

Product, delivery, materials. It adds up. 💰

Styled shoots are an absolute good time but asking us to provide literal thousands of product is just not something we’re prepared to do anymore. We can’t.

We love you but things cost money and money pays the bills that keep the lights on and our coolers cooling.

We’re not shutting down all of our gifts but we’re most definitely limiting to non-profits and events that support the community. 💐

If you’re a vendor who’s open to gifting for styled shoots feel free to tag yourselves so you can connect.

Love you, mean it. 🩷

We popped in to see them yesterday to grab some sips for friends and family to enjoy while touring our new space this weekend. 🍷

Our tasting notes: definitely a summer sipper, not too sweet but not dry either, a wine for everyone. It would pair really well w/ spicy foods like jalapeño covered tacos, hot wings or curries. 🌶️

Best consumed on your front porch w/ a couple besties.

Our new space is open today for Mothers Day, pop in and see what we’ve done and meet our new baby 🖤

Happy Mothers Day mamas, in all the forms.

It’s not goodbye, it’s see you on East Main.

In 2014 we started our business, in 2016 we opened our studio, in very late 2019 we decided to open a gift shop 😂🤣 (thanks Covid) and now in 2024 we’re diving head first into renovations and ownership.

Our little shop on Rosser has served us well. It has been a safe space for all, a playhouse for godchildren & pups, a chaos of flowers and planning, a napping spot for late night bouquet making and our first “home”.

We’re definitely going to miss this place but we’re excited for what’s to come. (We’re definitely going to miss how clean it is.. y’all, prepare yourselves.. we ain’t in Kansas anymore. 😂🤣 (but we will be one day)

See you on the other side friends!! 🤍
It’s moving day!!
