A Foraged Wedding Boutonniere


Hey, there! Are you enjoying wonderful weather like we are here in Massachusetts?  I spent last weekend at the beach on Cape Cod and you would have thought it was still August.  It was great!  I hope you all had a good weekend, as well!

A Floral Recipe for a Fall Planter

 

Hey there!  How are you all doing?  You know how some weeks are better than others?  Well, last week was not the best for me and my family.  I don't really want to get into the particulars because I am not one to share a lot of my personal life but, suffice to say, it was a week of loss and sadness.  We are slowly moving on from the sorrow and grasping onto joy but, sometimes you have to be real and tell it like it is.  Life can be hard at times.

Making a Wreath from Roadside Plants

A little over a week ago I decided to create something from almost nothing.  I noticed some plants growing in abundance on the side of the road.  I would call them weeds but that has gotten me into trouble. (I will explain that later.)  There were some of these "plants" growing on my property and they reminded me of artemisia.  Some people make dried wreaths with artemisia so I decided to give it a go with this roadside plant material.

The Micro Weddings I Did in the Age of the Coronavirus

Hi, Everyone!  Can you believe summer is winding down so quickly?  I cannot. Since things are fairly quiet for me I felt as though now might be a good time to share with you some of the experiences I have had doing the flowers for micro weddings in this age of the coronavirus.  As you may know, weddings were pretty much banned early on in the coronavirus crisis.  They are still very restricted even now with couples only being able to invite a few guests.  Considering all of that, you can imagine that my work as a wedding floral designer has taken a dip over the last several months.  In fact, all of my weddings for 2020 have been postponed until next year.
