One year ago today, Bri and Patrick Bangs were married! It was our absolute pleasure to be able to provide the florals for their wedding day, as Bri had helped us with many weddings and other special events during her high school and college days. Happy 1st Anniversary, you two!! May this be the first celebration of a lifetime of anniversaries to come!

While I haven't been a fan of this unrelenting heat and humidity of late, some of my flowers seem to love it! Fun to have my own blooms this time of year.

This past weekend, we had the honor of being able to create the florals for the wedding of Emily and Mitchell. They were blessed with a gorgeous spring day, perfect for Emily's pastel color palette! The timing also made it possible to use peonies from her grandmother's garden, as well as a few from my own. We thank this family for placing their confidence in us to now help with a second daughter's wedding! Our very best wishes to the newlyweds!!

Last Sunday, I had the chance to help with a baby shower for one of my all-time favorite event helpers, Haylee! Her friends did a great job of putting the celebration together... a cute venue, delicious food, and fun games. Haylee asked if I could create a flower bar as a thank-you for her guests. I loved that everyone from little girls to grandmas participated and had fun making their bouquets! We are so excited for Haylee and Scott and can't wait to meet Baby Jenson!!

We packed up our van with flowers and wedding decor one year ago and headed to Bluffton, South Carolina. This was our 7th time doing an out-of-state wedding. While we loved them all, none were sweeter than helping create this one for our daughter, Sarah, and her husband, Chris! Happy 1st Anniversary, you two!! ❤❤

This gorgeous bride!! Creating the florals for her wedding this past weekend was such a joy! Throughout high school and college (when available), this girl was my right hand when we hosted events at the former Badollet House B&B. She could bake, help decorate, and even serve when needed. Bri Bangs, we wish you and Patrick a lifetime of love, laughter, and fun adventures! ❤️❤
