Anyone who has been following my business knows how I feel about local flowers. If you don’t know, let me reiterate my wish for local flowers. I LOVE local flowers. My company has been committed to buying American Grown flowers and foliage for many reasons:  1) The product is fresher, generally cut into fresh water and […]

Catharine and Matt wanted an intimate & romantic microwedding at Iron Gate Restaurant Washington DC. They chose a beautiful restaurant with a little outdoor terrace, perfect for a table for 20 to be set up following their ceremony. Catharine wore two dresses, one that was an altered version of her mother’s wedding dress – look […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

About a month ago, I was lucky enough to be able to attend The Floral Field Trip, to beautiful Waitsfield, Vermont.  The purpose of the trip was to learn more about sourcing American Grown Flowers and to build relationships with several American Grown flower sources in the area.  As you probably know, using American Grown […]

The VisArts Center in Rockville, MD is a super-cool, modern venue that I got to decorate for the first time.  Artist studios and gallery exhibitions welcome guests into a modern ballroom with floor to ceiling windows.  My favorite part was the rooftop ceremony site overlooking Rockville Town Center.  I loved bringing the soft touch of […]

Wanna know a secret? This American Grown Picnic Elopement was supposed to be based around the Lily of the Valley that grow at my home studio in Frederick, MD.  These flowers are usually cost prohibitive to use, unless you can get them locally, which happens for about 1 week in May.  My planner, Brielle, and […]

Years ago, I had this vision for a moody, jewel toned photoshoot with a gorgeous dinner table, set under hanging flowers and candles.  I wanted jewel tone flowers, amazing ribbon/fabric detail, and ferns.   I knew it wouldn’t be anything like what most people were doing, but I knew it would be beautiful.  I wasn’t exactly […]
