When I first heard this song and registered the lyric "love will make you fit it all in the car," I immediately saw a montage of all the photos of our cars packed to the absolute brim with flowers. It always felt important to me to document the absurdity and beauty of it. Gathering the photos from over the years made me unexpectedly emotional
- my best friends' weddings
- my mom's wedding
- my aunt's funeral
- my cousin's wedding (her son)
- the first time we needed a uhaul for a big job
- photography retreats we traveled hours for
- passion projects
- and all the clients we love and adore that make this beautiful life possible!
Flowers are pretty much the embodiment of love and at times only love could have convinced us to finagle fragile blooms into every square inch of a vehicle. Photos cannot capture the time, strategy, and sometimes literally blood, sweat, and tears it takes to safely transport flowers from point a to point b. Photos can't capture the spilled buckets, snapped stems, or gentle turns and stops. And I can't make this post without specifically acknowledging the role that Lazarus takes in packing the cars and making sure the flowers are snug and safe. While I'm often putting finishing touches on a bridal bouquet, he's outside planning, tying, and sometimes cursing a little.
To many more slightly stressful but satisfying hours packing cars with flowers this year!
