We have 3 events this weekend all with artful floral designs. This is a sneak peek photo of a sample arrangement we did for the our 5/26 wedding. I will show you the whole design hopefully next week prior to the wedding as it ended up changing.
Have an artful weekend and be creative!
I am trying to catch up on a few requests from brides and grooms this week. Yesterday we highlighted boutonnieres and corsages upon request and today we are focusing on blue wedding design. This actually was requested by 2 brides and one groom! So this is long overdue and I apologize! Take a look!

We try to post as much as we can – but sometimes the boutonnieres and corsages go by the wayside! Sorry!!!
Always best to try to follow me on Instagram as I post all day long at wedding of the little details that don’t always make it to the blog!
Happy Planning!
We had a gorgeous wedding a few weeks ago at Woodend. We absolutely loved the gorgeous cake from Fluffy Thoughts. Looks like it might have even been on one of Sarah’s Stands! We provided a simple arrangement on the cake table with hydrangea, muscari and dusty miller accents.
We provided this simple yet beautiful buffet arrangement in our special silver dipped vase with blue and white hydrangea with dusty miller accents.
All the details of the day were in different shades of silver, grey and blue with touches of lavender tones. Absolutely gorgeous! The centerpieces were comprised of white hydrangea, blue thistle, muscari (grape hyacinth) and delphinium accents. The mantels were adorned with blue hydrangea and white muscari which was perfect as the ceremony was held in the great hall.
We will be at Woodend again at the end of this month! Absolutely one of our favorite venues!
Congrats to James + Jason!
