Buckets and Blooms

Tomatoes, zinnias, peaches, and watermelon are some of my favorite things of summer. But for now, 🍅🍅🍅 are on center court ( if you are watching Wimbledon!)

Wishing we had a little rain shower like we did this day! Emily started off the weekend with the sweetest bridesmaids luncheon! And the yellow peonies from came close to stealing the show!

Getting ready for my next wedding and thinking back to this fall wedding. The details were really perfect( thank you AWED- pink bar and look the chairs lined up so perfectly) Sometimes being a “creative”, I want to skip the details and just design but design is in the details. So, the perfect placement on the staircase or the right combination of flowers and candles take time to plan, implement, install and clean up. I’m taking a deep breath and going to count candles and votives this week. I’ll probably have to color code for each event. I will hate it while I’m doing it but will be thankful that it’s done!

This is one of my all time favorite flowering projects I have ever done. And, this bar area is already stunning so adding some flowers to the window was just a little extra.

2023 was a year full of wonderful people trusting me to talk as I think, try to explain my vision using my hands and getting excited! So many people who love flowers or just pretty, interesting moments. Thank you to all of the people who helped me turn these crazy thoughts into realities! May 2024 bring more special people into my life and allow me to create all these things I think about and dream of creating!

Love looking back on these beautiful photos from and wedding! Great friends, stellar dance moves, candles, flowers and the list goes on. It was a perfect night to celebrate two of my favorite people! Happy Anniversary!

Thank you for loving on my yard!

I have missed painting flowers.🥰 These beauties came from gorgeous garden. I wish my experiment growing dahlias was as successful as hers. I need a step stool to cut mine that mostly bloomed one sided. I will leave them to the professionals.😜

A few pictures of our wedding this weekend! Mary Hannah and Anthony’s weekend was filled with so much fun! Loved working with Chelsea Kennedy Events on this one! And, as always, the best team that helps me bring a design to life!

This happens to me often with pictures of my family and also from events. I scan the pictures and choose my favorites. BUT, later on even years later, I’ll be looking at the images again and find new favorites. The ones of my children are usually an expression that they made at 2 years old and it’s still an expression I see today. With events, it’s usually something that might not seem special but years later it triggers so many memories. This picture- en mass of special hellebores, hyacinth bulb that I forced for the wedding, and the microgreens that I was obsessed with using on the tables! Also, the candlelight. It just makes me happy.

BULBS!!! Welcome back. Every season I get excited for what is about to bloom. But, there is something extra special about tulips and quince. They kick off the flower season to me. They are the first glimpse of spring , along with daffs and forsythia. So on the cold, dreary, rainy day-I’m excited for what is next!! Tulips = - as her adorable daughter called her- the dirt expert. Not sure that gives her enough credit or glory, she’s more than dirt! 🤍

I keep getting questions about all of the freeze damage to our yards! See the info from Huntsville Botanical Garden about what to do!

Got brown shrubs after the polar plunge? Don't panic! Most plants will recover when new spring growth occurs.

Quick reel of how I made my front door! This is my favorite thing I do during the holidays. This is our 7th Christmas in our home. I love it more each year!

Thank you Kretzschmar for asking me to help with the birthday club lunch!! The candles, glasses, china and linens you chose were so fun!! I had THE MOST FUN creating these arrangements! Let’s do it again!

11/11/2022

I’ve never cooked a turkey or made dressing. We’ve always done different things on Thanksgiving, but always with family or friends or both! One thing I always do- is set the table! If you’d like a centerpiece filled with gorgeous flowers and seasonal goodies, let me help you! This year I’m doing a limited number of arrangements! $125 each and pick up on Wednesday November 23! DM or email me to reserve yours!

Love love love the beautiful images from this summer wedding! A few things….color is awesome, but it can be hard. Flower placement is even more important when using color. Bridge colors tie it all together. Flower choices are just as important, you don’t want it to look like polka dots ( unless polka dots are your thing!) We work super hard at creating an overall experience for our couples and families. Details are important to us. Details can include…criss crossing foxglove stems in a budvase, sourcing the perfect silk ribbon, unique candle holders, creating a special entrance…the list goes on and on. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day! 📷

What.A.Weekend! So excited for Mckinley and Jackson! They did not leave one detail out of this night! I was lucky enough to be a guest to watch the night unfold and saw lots of signature dance moves too! Can’t wait for them to get home from the honeymoon so we can recap the night! Love these families and so thankful for friends who are like family!

Rehearsal Dinner! When you go to a restaurant named St. Stephen and you walk inside and there are begonias painted on the wall with the lyrics to one of the greatest songs of all time the vision has been set. This had to be a pretty cool vibe. Begonia leaves and shade garden bits, smoke glass, ticking napkins, green wax candles. There is too much to describe. I hope this night kicks off the great weekend ahead. Love you ! You hosted a great party! Excited for and ! Let the weekend begin!

What a dream wedding for Taylor and Noah! It was a crazy week with 500 stems being canceled. Lots of help from friends and family cutting in yards and local farmers suppling extra stems! The big arrangement is an all time fav! Arranged by ! I had the best team that week! Thank you all!

Short stems. Wonky stems. Bugs. Heat. Dahlias that I over-wintered ( did not dig up and divide) are the early bloomers. A few of the queen zinnias, and only a few lissi. Waiting The colors just amaze me!

What a beautiful night on the mountain. Loved being able to flower for and then get to celebrate with her and her family!

23/06/2022

Everything tucked in and ready to go for our wedding tomorrow! I wanted these peach ranunculus to work but they didn’t really. But, for anyone who doesn’t think peach is the greatest color, you’re wrong. Haha. But, I’ll admit, I love most colors.

Silver goblet. Star headband. Glow sticks. Allie is all smiles by the stage flower column. She is the cutest and the most beautiful bride! I want every bride to have as much fun at her wedding as Allie did!!🦋💕🦋

I think I counted 5 varieties of hydrangea in these arrangements. I absolutely love this so much. I love hydrangeas when they are on the bush. I love them dried in the fall too. Truth time, I don’t like them out of season at all. I don’t know why I feel differently about hydrangeas than other flowers. I love a garden rose all year long. Maybe it’s being from the South and knowing that hydrangeas blooming mean summertime and vacations. Who knows but now I feel lucky to have so many varieties in my yard.
