🎨 Your Color Palette:
Color sets the tone for your entire wedding. Soft pastels like blush and cream create a romantic and gentle feel. Bright colors such as coral, yellow, or fuchsia bring energy and joy. Deep tones like burgundy, navy, and emerald feel rich and elegant, while neutral shades like ivory and sage give a timeless and calm look. Think about how you want your day to feel and choose colors that bring that emotion to life through your flowers.

💐 What to Look for When Choosing Your Wedding Florist 💐

Hey brides to be! 👋 Choosing the right florist can make a big difference in how your wedding vision turns out. Flowers set the tone, add color, and show your personal style. Here are a few things to look for (and watch out for) when meeting with florists:

✨ Clear Communication: Make sure your florist listens closely to your ideas and takes notes. You should feel understood.

📸 Visual References: Bring photos of what you like and ask your florist to share examples of their past work so you can see if your styles match.

📝 Detailed Proposals: Ask for a quote that includes flower types, colors, and design styles. This helps avoid surprises later on.

🌸 Design Review: A great florist will confirm your vision before the big day and check in about key details as well as inform you on what's available.

💬 Trust & Comfort: You should feel comfortable asking questions and sharing concerns.

Your wedding flowers should make you smile every time you look back at your photos. Choose a florist who cares about your vision as much as you do! 🌷💖

What a wonderful, intimate wedding on the island 🏝️ Amanda wanted bright red flowers and simple, elegant centerpieces.

So I went with Freedom Roses 🌹 & a trio of floating candles with submerged flowers. Nothing is more romantic than real candles (always check with your venue if candles are allowed! If not we can use LED)

I finally got a bride who wanted a flower crown 🌸🥲👑 Congrats to my newlywed neighbors!

New on the blog: Rachel & John 🥂🤍✨

I can not say enough good things about Rachel and John. These two are the definition of what a bride and groom should be like on the wedding day. From the moment I met Rachel and John, I knew their Sowell Farms wedding was going to be something special. And boy was it. These two radiate kindness, joy, and a deep love not just for each other, but for everyone around them. Their day was filled with beauty, laughter, and—yes—even a little rain, which they welcomed with open hearts. Nothing could shake their joy. In fact, the unexpected showers gifted us a rainbow, under which we captured some of the most magical moments. Surrounded by the largest gathering of guests I’ve seen, it was clear: Rachel and John are deeply loved, and their celebration was a reflection of that.

People ask all the time if I grow my own flowers, and the short answer is “not nearly enough” I have a nice garden & I sprinkle in my homegrown when I have them 🥰🌸
