I think when the bride hugs her bouquet, it’s worth a blog post! What do you think? This playful spring wedding was so much fun to create. So many of the flowers came from local farms, and they gave the designs a “just picked” look. Amanda’s bouquet was made of clematis vine, sweetheart roses, cosmos, […]

For as long as we can remember, we’ve been decorating weddings with candles, typically paraffin wax candles. There’s nothing more romantic than lighting up an event that’s so full of love with a ton of candle light. If you’re a wedding florist, you’ve probably also figured out that there’s money to be made if you […]

I just loved this elegant wedding at Eastern Market in Washington DC. I loved everything about it. I loved the neutrals with moody blush and mauve touches that Christine wanted for the ceremony, and the pops of deep burgundy that got added to the reception spaces. I loved that this was an elegant wedding, but […]

Mallory and Jesse wanted an eco-friendly wedding at Zigbone Farm Retreat in Sabillasville, MD, with a peachy, coral-y palette that had a casual wildflower vibe to go with their venue. Zigbone is an eco-friendly farm with historic buildings, farm animals, gorgeous mountain views and space for all sorts of gatherings! Mallory first got in touch […]

This whimsical outdoor wedding at Glen Ellen Farm in Ijamsville MD was the perfect start to my 2021 wedding season.  Genevieve’s wedding was the first wedding I did in 2021.  I viewed it as the first one back after all of the COVID shutdowns.  Of course, COVID was, and is, still happening, but in my […]
