Several weeks ago, Devon and I traveled about 45 minutes or so outside of Minneapolis to Swenson Gardens‘ public peony field. For a couple of weeks, they allow you to tour a small growing field, separate from their main field, to see all the different varieties they’re currently growing. Plants and cut flowers alike are [...]
The biggest wedding bummer in my books is the amount of money you spend on gorgeous florals that don’t live long past the Big Day. While traditionally in my family, we donate event centerpieces to a local hospital, it would have been lovely to have some momento – other than a photograph – of all [...]
It’s time for our last lovely boutonniere from Leigh Anne of the Floral Lab featuring photos from Jackie Wonders. In this beautiful boutonniere is lavender and rosemary, which makes for a sweet accent to a country rustic wedding. Best of all, the elements of this design are readily available so there’s no reason not to [...]

While doing some research for wedding flower alternatives for a friend of mine, I happened along Estilo Weddings after not having been there for a while. I fell head over heels for this new collaboration between their shop and DK Designs. These fabulous flowers, made of clay, can be perfect keepsakes for your wedding and [...]
One of the hardest things to impress me with are flowers – presentation is really key, and there’s a fine line between “opulent” and “outdated”. It’s even more satisfying to me, then, when I find a florist with an excellent taste level – particularly when they can work in a variety of styles, from modern [...]
Honestly, I hate carnations with a fiery passion. I immediately think of cheap supermarket bouquets and I’ve been utterly convinced you’d have to be able to move mountains or do other miraculous works to make me think of them as anything but tacky…. … but lo and behold, Eddie Ross (of Bravo’s Top Design and [...]
As promised, here’s an overview of some great flowers and fillers to use for your reference. This is not a complete list, of course (how could I ever finish writing?!), but I’ll certainly keep updating it along the way.
