Did you hear the news? Our annual Farmer Florist class series is now live on our website: http://thelocalbouquet.com/farmer-florist-series

This class is taught on two very special flower farms and will cover topics including growing, care, harvest tips and all things design! We are very lucky to be partnering with Electric Moon Peony Farm in Little Compton and Dahlia Shed in Middletown to learn all about peonies and dahlias-everyone's favorites!

If you are a creative, enjoy learning something new and/or enjoy flowers- these two classes are for you! All levels welcome. Everyone will walk away with a class booklet filled with all of the information covered, including resources to help you grow and design for years to come! Also, everyone will design their very own centerpieces. All supplies provided.

Come and enjoy time with your local flower farmers and floral designer, out in nature, at two picturesque and stunning farms!

Lots of fresh, locally grown/gathered/and designed wreaths have left our studio this week and I couldn’t be more proud. I love designing for people and I love celebrating the bounty of what each season produces! This year the kids and I were loving this golden arborvitae. It definitely made each one sparkle in a special way! ✨✨✨

That’s a wrap for all of our 2021 (and 2020) weddings. Although this year was challenging, fast paced and sometimes overwhelming- I feel so blessed to have gotten to serve some of the most thankful and nicest clients I’ve ever experienced in my eight years of running this company.
2022 is going to look a lot different with some new changes and exciting additions coming to TLB- more on that coming soon. But for now, I’m going to take a breather and soak in some much needed time with my kids💕
