Fleurs of Orlean Give me a call to consult about floral designs for your wedding or special event. When I was first married, I chose daisies for my bouquet. Then came orchids.

Weddings
When I look back over the years at the weddings I’ve been in and the weddings I’ve attended, I’m amazed at the changes. I was a flower child, and Marguerite daisies expressed my style (or lack thereof!). Back then, wedding bouquets were usually round balls of white tulips and roses. Later florists started adding wraps of lace and embroidery, even feathers. A few years ago some

brides just carried a few stems of a favorite flower wrapped with a ribbon. Today the goal is to express your personality, your favorite colors and flowers. My bouquets are rich and lush. I like to create airy, asymmetrical bouquets with lots of different flowers in soft, seasonal palettes. Once you pick a color or colors for your wedding, you’ll find that everything seems to fall in place after that. So give me a call and let’s set up an appointment to talk about what’s in season on your wedding day and what you like. Special Events
Once we’ve done our homework about what flowers are in season when your event rolls around, it’s time to pick a color so it can be used in centerpieces, invitations, stationery, table runners, napkins…. You get the picture: Make a bold statement with color. Especially if your event is outside during the day. Imagine tables set up on green grass and a blue sky backdrop. Which means flowers with brilliant hues. If your event is inside during the evening, something more subdued, more elegant, is called for. Give me a call. Show me your venue. Let’s talk about getting those oohs and aahs that will make your event memorable.

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:

Dear God, Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love, Meredith.

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letterbox at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page were the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:

Dear Meredith, Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank you."

Think about a tussy-mussy for your mother
to carry. Perhaps engrave a silver holder.

Think about masses
of flowers, candles, ribbon and netting, pinks and whites with pops of blue, old silver and clear glass....

Don’t write off carnations as too common. They make wonderful filler flowers and come in fabulous colors, like this shade of orange (from a painting by August Giacometti).
