Basket of Flowers

Good Morning! The orange & red dahlias and blanket flowers are fresh picked from my '"wedding flower garden". The multi colored sunflower seeds were planted at my parents house early this summer in anticipation of a fall harvest for Amy & Phil's wedding.  Looks like the timing is working out beautifully! Thanks Mom & Dad!  These will be "free" flowers to be used in combination with the flowers ordered from my wholesaler.  It's a really great feeling to be able to stretch the budgets for my brides and grooms. And they will look absolutely stunning in the bouquets, on the arch, and in the centerpieces!

Autumn Wedding Flowers

Today is the first day of September and it's an absolutely gorgeous morning here in Minnesota. One of the first things to do this morning is go out to pick fresh tomatoes from the garden.  My favorite are the little cherry tomatoes!  Next is to work on my flower order for Amy & Phil's upcoming wedding.  Their ceremony and reception will be held at Gale Woods Farm  which is very near to my studio.  Although I'm not a "farm" person, I am excited for this wedding as Amy is awesome to work with!  In keeping with the fall/country theme, we will be creating bouquets similar to the pictures which Amy fell in love with while looking through my portfolio. I love it too!
