The Garden in Late Spring

Sunflares - they would take over if not kept in their own enclosure.



False Indigo - The flowers fall, leaving behind bright green seedpods that deepen into a deep, dark blue. I will update with pictures come late summer.



Roses - white, pink, orange and red - the pink smell the best!



... and strawberries! Unfortunately, they never make it indoors. The children and I keep our small patch picked bare at all times. If we are in the garden, we are in the strawberry patch.

Flower Girl

This sweet little flower girl bouquet includes miniature callas, blue hydrangea, and white freesia. The bouquet is accented with seeded eucalyptus and the stems are wrapped with ivory ribbon.

Salt and Pepper

The bridal bouquet : white roses, white spray roses, white peonies, and white lilacs. Bupleurum and bay leaf added hints of green and spice to offset the sweet scent of the flowers.

The theme of the wedding was salt and pepper. The couple had come together in culinary school and enjoy all things cooking.

The centerpieces were round glass bowls planted with herbs and white flowers. I used basil, thyme, oregano, sweet potato vine, and a variety of white flowers. The bowls were clear glass, so you could see the dirt (pepper) and I scattered white river rocks and white roses (salt) along the top of the centerpiece and along the tablecloth.

The bride and groom had a sweetheart table, so as to have small moments alone. I provided a low vase for the bride's bouquet to act as their centerpiece, and scattered a few roses and bay leaves to dress up the table.

In the Backyard Now

It is spring, rapidly heading into summer. The peonies are blooming with their sweet, spicy scent. The heirloom iris are big and peach!

The Siberian Iris have a deep purple, almost blue petal with a bright yellow throat.
Beautiful.

January wedding

The bride wanted something different. She had beautiful metal nosegay holders which I used for the bridesmaid bouquets. Using Sahara roses, pink waxflower, pale pink spray roses and a deep brown leaf for accents we were able to create a beautiful and one-of-a kind look.

The Bride's bouquet. She chose out of one of my favorite books, "To Have and To Hold" - a stunning bouquet of candy striped amaryllis, deep pink spray roses, white roses, pale Sahara roses and purple-black juniper berries. Truly beautiful.
