Florist Review Magazine Picture Perfect Weddings

We're so very excited to announce that we have multiple appearances in this month's Florist Review Magazine Picture Perfect Weddings feature!  
The first is in the picture-perfect trends, under the canning jars category!
Here we have a photo from Alexis & Wade's lovely June wedding, taken by Christan P Photography!
Next in the lantern category, for our wedding in October, by Ashley Blake Photography




And then again in the bouquet category, with my bouquet, and my little strand of hair that refused to stay curled that day and still annoys me. haha


And then Alexis & Wade's adorable flower girl makes a cameo in the Flower Children category. Isn't she precious with her daisy halo?

Easter Upcycling Beauty

So if you haven't heard of upcycling before- it's a play off of recycling but instead of breaking something down and re-purposing its parts, you give it new life and take it to the next level. Or at least that's my definition. Each week, we get flowers delivered by our wholesaler in these big cardboard boxes, and they staple in a few skinny pieces of wood inside to stabilize the box, preventing it from crushing its precious cargo. So you can only imagine... pieces per box..a few boxes a week....we have a lot of skinny wood pieces. They make great kindling for bonfires by the way! But sometimes Melinda decides to get creative with them. For Christmas she literally made little outdoor porch mats to scrape your shoes on before you come inside...they're awesome. This time, she decided to use them in a darling little Easter creation! Some mini terra cotta pots, eggs, succulents, moss- put it all together and you get these!! 

 Aren't they fun? Their convenient size and shape make them great for counters, bars, mantles, buffets, or down the middle of a crowded dining table!
