• Wedding flowers with a conscious! Let’s get real for a moment here. Weddings are wasteful on so many levels. I know I am probably not suppose to say this because flowers, after all are my business. I would not be walking the walk if I did not address this issue head on. Thus, I introduce to you ‘Earth Warrior Wednesdays’ where I present creative, earth conscious AND budget friendly wedding flower ideas that are sustainable, multipurpose and just too darn cute to boot! This week, I am inspired by the idea of seating cards as favors AND the ‘centerpieces’ for your tables. Whether you have round or farm tables, providing each guest with a personalized mini bouquet is a thoughtful and efficient way to reduce waste at your wedding. Guests get to enjoy their very own flowers during your wedding and when they get home!! Want to step it up a bit? Hand write their names on ♻️ recycled ♻️ seeded paper they can plant in a pot or garden...because who doesn’t want to feed fuzzy little bees and butterflies? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🦋 🐝 Why mini bouquets: ~ It is a thoughtful favor ❤️ ~ Doubles as seating card 👏🏻 ~ Doubles as centerpiece 👏🏻 ~ Guests take it home/clean up after the party without even knowing it! 😋 ~ Get creative with your place card, ie. seeded or recycled paper...or both! Are you an earth warrior? Tell me about it in the comments below!! Also, walk outside and hug a tree. Want your wedding to give a metaphorical hug to all living things in our natural world? Contact me today to start planning your dream florals. (See link in bio)

  • Here is a sampling of the flowers growing in my garden right NOW!! My garden has been my retreat, my safe space and a place for reflection. I spend about three hours a day there focused on the things I can control, what I can ‘fix’. It has also been a place for me to stay busy amidst my work that has been disappearing daily. The wedding industry has been hit hard recently. Self motivation and reliance are challenging my creativity and I am grateful for that. Covid-19 has been awful on all fronts, for EVERYONE. There have been three parts of the experience which I have observed that have presented opportunities of positive forces for change. The first has been a recognition of our vulnerability and the importance of sharing that with people we care for. This is an opportunity to claim our truth, make it ours as we know it now, in the present moment. The second is the recognition of our compassionate capabilities. We all have ‘it’ within us to approach every situation with open ears and thoughtfulness. We all need support. Recognizing that your truth is yours alone and that others have their own life truths is the key to propagating peace. I truly believe those are the facts that will cultivate communities of tolerance, understanding and love. Lastly, the ‘slowing’ of the industry I participate in has shown me that global change is possible. It has taken a pandemic to highlight our social and environmental short comings. Before this started, I made a commitment to living in peace with my local and global community as well as the planet. I cannot do it without you. Let’s move forward together. Let’s be better...for ourselves, our neighbors and our planet. Whether it is growing in our gardens or in our hearts....let’s watch it grow together. Ps...’It’ is love.
