When these sweet, young ladies came to me for a whimsical garden wedding at Glen Ellen Farm in Ijamsville, MD, I knew immediately this one would be a STUNNER. I have said for my entire career that Glen Ellen Farm may very well be the most beautiful wedding venue in Frederick, and this color palette […]

This wedding happened in the late fall, and was a beautiful transition into winter. We used magnolia leaves and mixed ferns and vines to go with the classic white and blush blooms for this classic blush and white late fall wedding at Woodend Sanctuary. For the bridal bouquet, we used orchids, mixed roses and other […]

I don’t think there’s anything more romantic than a candlelit dinner and inviting all of your closest friends to share in the most romantic day of your life, amidst as many candles as you can fit on the tables, only ups the romance level! This romantic candlelit winter wedding at St Francis Hall in Washington, […]

This post has been a long time coming. Sweet Blossoms has been foam free for years and vocally so, but I’ve never sat down and really verbalized all the reasons why. I think I can break down my reasons for not using floral foam into three categories: health, environment, and design. But first, what IS […]

The Barrel Room is the perfect place for a romantic ceremony at Stone Tower. Add pinecones, and twinkle lights and you have a winter wonderland wedding! We started with our custom built copper wedding arch, covered it with christmas greens and white roses and hanging florals, added a layer of twinkle lights and pinecones and […]

Romance and candles meets copper and industrial. Swoon! I admit, I was unsure of how to make this color palette work in the beginning. It took some careful flower choice. But in the end, I was able to choose the perfect flowers to make this rust and copper wedding at Tenth Ward Distillery work. I […]

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 […]

Alexa and Erik had a Modern sunset/citrus colored wedding at Carroll Creek Park Amphitheater in Downtown Frederick and then had their reception at Attaboy Barrel House. They wanted a modern, bohemian, and minimalist look, placing bud vase collections down the center of the beautiful farm tables at the Barrel House.  We used a gorgeous summery, […]
