Chocolate Close-up

I got my hair cut this morning. My stylist is a vegan and we were talking recipes. I do feel it's time for me to seriously face my eating habits. Like many people I rely way to much on coffee and carbs. I need a better sources of energy! I will pack healthy snacks for my littlest pheasant yet I run out of the house on empty looking to grab something later in the day. Bad. Bad. Bad. I am afraid to watch Food Inc. Any suggestions on where to start? Cookbooks to buy?

Here is a close up of photos of a chocolate cosmos. Hmmmm.....chocolate. 

 

  An ode to her mom, who carried a bouquet of daisies back on her wedding day in 1971, the bride had chamomile in hers.

 

Thank you Brooklyn Bride! Thank you Katie Stoops! And much love and thanks to Christina and Scott. Here is a sample of Katie's incredible photography. Please check out her blog for the full wedding. It's pretty freakin' awesome. 

Perfect Light

iCi. A wonderful restaurant in Fort Greene to have a wedding. Seasonal food, impeccable service, nicest staff. Really charming wedding for a insanely cute couple. I often dream of having an all white empty room, so this space is heaven to me. I'm short on words today so I say it with flowers. Hope all is well xo

Add a Touch of Blue

Good Morning everyone. As my season slows I am reflecting on everything I've learned, not only about design but also about this whole billion dollar wedding business machine that churns on and on. It's a lot to navigate for business owners and clients alike. I am already composing a little list in my head with some flower tips and stuff about set up. 

In the meantime, I was swooning over the deliciousness that was going on in these bouquets.

Cafe au Lait dahlias, clematis, tulips, smoke bush, rose hips, jasmine, garden roses, flowering thyme, hydrangea foliage plus a bit of dusty miller and muscari. 

 This the toss bouquet for the next day. The design called for a more streamlined and cleaner feel. 

Raspberry Phalaenopsis

Here are the flowers I did a couple of weeks ago for an intimate wedding at the Alger's House. I was loving the color scheme. I snagged the prettiest dusty lilac colored hydrangea I've ever seen. It was deluxe.
