Loved being a part of this micro-wedding in Durham at Duke Chapel and JBDuke Hotel.

After a chilly rush across campus (due to lots of construction and a just-finished basketball game!), imagine stepping into the tranquil Duke Chapel to deliver a bouquet and boutonniere.

The hushed cathedral is nearly empty and in the quiet while garlanding the altar area, your ears begin to hear glorious strains of Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" rising from the chapel's pipe organ as the organist readies for the evening's special occasion.

What a lovely moment I experienced at Duke Chapel and afterward with the hospitality and friendliness of the professionals I partnered with for the reception at the JB Duke Hotel. Many congrats to the happy couple!

Until next time, Duke and Durham!

Thank you to for the lovely photos of .

What's the first of September without a fresh autumn wreath?

This one *might* be staying at my house, but I just restocked my showcase at Evenbrooke with some beauties. PM if you'd like a custom wreath with pricing in the $25-$45 range.

"Cut the dress."

Not the normal instruction from the mother of the bride regarding her own vintage dress.

Did I? Yes, I did . . . and used it to create a one-of-a-kind bouquet wrap for today's bride.

I enjoy meeting with anyone in the Triad and surrounding area looking to customize florals for your big day. Feel free to reach out (FB messenger, insta or gildedbotanic.com) to book a free consultation for 2022 summer and fall weddings.
