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, […]
I just loved this elegant wedding at Eastern Market in Washington DC. I loved everything about it.

I loved that this was an elegant wedding, but […]

We stayed at the beautiful Sand Rock Farm, which is open for weddings and other special events and it served as […]
Ten years of flowering and going strong, I’ve been providing retail and wedding flowers to the DC Metro Area! I’m not going to lie, this is not what I thought the end of 10 years of business would look like. I’m sure many of you are saying the same sorts of things about the past […]

Slow Flowers is a movement, started by Debra Prinzing, which educates consumers about the importance of making a conscious choice to purchase cut flowers which have been grown domestically (preferably locally), instead of […]
