A Bridal Shower order full of elegance and whimsy 🧚🏼‍♂️💫! I woke up extra early on Sunday morning to harvest, prep, and arrange the fresh flowers & herbs from the garden. The two beautiful silver pitchers are from Rosie's Vintage Kitchen!

This was my first time working with silver vessels using fresh flowers. At first it felt like a bit of challenge, which I love. It gives me an extra spark of creativity. Once I entered a flow state with the hydrangeas I knew exactly what colors to incorporate (multiple trips back to the garden of course. I can never seem to have just 1 trip!).
I had so much fun working on this. 💐

Congratulations to the bride-to-be, Annie!🩷

My sweet friend Haley has a BUN IN THE OVEN!🥐🩵
On Saturday we gathered at Cafe LaNae & Bakery to celebrate Haley and Wyatt, and their little one that is on the way.

I was overcome with emotions when Haley asked if I could make the floral arrangements for her baby shower. I had a wave of nostalgia.
Where has the time gone? Many moons ago we were just a couple of girls living in a small town in Kentucky trying to figure out what the future held for all of us.

But the thing is, Haley always knew what she wanted. She traveled the world, and is living in Arizona like she always said she would do someday.

I can’t wait to see you step into motherhood, and all of your dreams you will undoubtedly continue to achieve.
Sending you both all my love. Thank you for trusting me to do your arrangements.🩵

**The garden is lacking blue flowers. I did a little science experiment and was able to dye our fresh cut white Annabelle Hydrangeas pale blue!

Cheers to 29! 🦋💫🎂. I spent the morning harvesting and prepping the first round of yarrow to begin the drying process.

Yesterday I had a garden picnic day with one of my bestfriends. Today I set the tent back up and I’m planning on spending the rest of the day out there doing WHATEVER I WANT! 😜 That will most likely entail hanging out with Honey, and reading a gardening book.
Most importantly, journaling the good and bad moments of ~28~, and what I hope 29 brings.

Thank you all for being here as I continue to build and chase my crazy herbs & fleurs dream. 💐

What do I love just as much as flowers? Everything involving vintage and antique items! Dawn asked if I could make flower arrangements in her vessels for her opening day at Rosie’s Vintage Kitchen. Of course I said yes! She has the most beautiful glassware, teacups, and linens in her store. Stop by and browse, and pick up a treat from Josie’s Sweet Treats.

If you stop by and enter the raffle, you will have a chance to take home the teapot arrangement. 🩷🫖

Location:
Rosie’s Vintage Kitchen
105 W Washington Street, Millstadt, Il.
They are open the last Friday and Saturday of every month from 10-4pm

Thank you so much to Pair of Dice for having us back again this year! The energy of the night was uplifting, and full of kindness. Everyone made the most beautiful arrangements!🥂💐

A lot of work, time, and energy goes into harvesting and prepping the flowers by myself. Witnessing the big smiles on everyone’s faces and the joy that arranging flowers can bring people makes events like last night, and the work that I do 100% worth it.

I am so pleased with the turnout last night.
Thank you for being a huge part of my garden florist journey. 🦋
