“Tonight we celebrate with you,
Tomorrow we say I Do!”
~Unknown
The Rehearsal for a wedding is a delightful way to usher in the celebration! This Rehearsal for Sarah & Steven’s backyard wedding one year ago is a cherished memory. Along with floral design—I was their “Month Of” Wedding Planner. Implementing their wishes, vendor recommendations & communication, timelines & check lists. Then sending everyone off down the garden path amongst friends & family for a tearful exchange of vows and dancing into the night. Wishing you a beautiful year ahead and celebratory life together.
Fun Fact: I designed S & S’s garden for their wedding refresh. They, along with family & friends worked long hours implementing the new hardscape & plantings. So wonderful seeing my watercolor of their garden design on display at their cocktail hour as a surprise.
BFF accepts a limited number of Wedding Planning clients for whom we are designing their floral story. What a pleasure to design all the details in a uniquely personal way.

“Simple music is the hardest music to play and blues is simple music.”
~Albert Collins
A singing the blues for a bespoke birthday gift. Our own BFF cottage roses, clematis, hydrangeas & Lady’s Mantle play along with local Love in a Mist & Aimee. Blue is favorite color of this wife and her love of lavender strike the right note.
A text from this husband said “We received the arrangement and my wife just loves it. She says it is perhaps the most beautiful one she has ever seen. It is prominently on display in our front room. Thank you!”
I appreciate the time he took to share this. I am grateful to be able to create for such a kind community.

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”
~Albert Einstein
More is more. The layering of textures, intentional composition & complimentary colors. The abundance of springtime blooms are a joyful medium. This Sweetheart table centerpiece tells a story with our own Irises & Columbine along with a single amazing Peony & grouping of petals upon petals of cottage roses. Sweet moments tucked here and there—magical!

Details matter—and I am delighted to share an exciting update to our website.
Belle Flower Farm is the Full-Service floral business I started in 2019. Although creating florals & events for many more years than that—our Bespoke Bouquets has become a rewarding element of my business. Gift bouquets for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Condolence, Funerals, Babies, Showers, rehearsals & Intimate Weddings & Just Because! Connecting with others—sharing in their stories, adding a snippet of a favorite color or creating a suite of florals & styling for a celebration is beautiful creatively & rewarding as part of a community.
I think you will find this update to our website helpful. And we appreciate your helping us GROW by referring Belle Flower Farm to loved ones for personal & artful florals, event styling & charming gifts.

“Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
A joyful afternoon spent designing for a May wedding. Planning design, preordering, timeline, supply pulls, floral pickups & harvesting, stem prep for longevity—are some of the behind the scenes. Knowing I am creating to speak to the imagination of a couple—their Dream Day is profound. Their trust in my aesthetic & organization is valued. Thank you E & C for the privilege to design for your memory making day.

“I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er vales and hills, when all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
~William Wordsworth
🌿Dancing in the breeze—a kind gift from husband to wife. Decidedly springtime, her favorite color is yellow. Includes local tulips & Ranunculus, and our own Iris & Deutzia.
🌿Choosing vessels that can be part of the gift is intentional for me. The most charming vases to be used after the flowers wain. Pot a favorite plant, capture a collection of pens, paintbrushes or washi tape. What would you repurpose for?

“She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
‘Winter is dead.’”
~A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young (Winnie-the-Pooh
A favorite Iris—she shook her buttery yellow flower head. Snipped from our BFF gardens along with our spring fern & boxwood—her ever so soft color whispers.
