This wedding was beautiful, I can't wait to get photos back from the photographer. As these arrangements started coming together I started drooling over the color scheme. You may have seen the movie Marie Anoinette? They reminded me of the colors in the film - muted but colorful, and sort of playfully monochromatic.

Garden roses, peonies, hydrangea paniculata, fever few, geranium greens, veronica, stock, ranunculus, jasmine vine, dahlia, scabiosa, and dusty miller-probably my 12 most ordered flowers. Can you blame me? The peach and pink tones with silvery greens are so pretty for a wedding.

alright, you waited patiently...

Here are some photos from the summer wedding shoot with Kate Osborne. I want to eat dinner and have tea at this table, don't you? Most of the greens and silvers in this arrangement are succulent plants, I love the hints of purple that they have on the edges.

farewell

peonies (and soon poppies) have left us until later this year or next, and i miss them already. these ones were from my garden.

stray bunch

this was just for fun. we went on a walk and i picked stray flowers and weeds from around the block. this is why i love summer...

begonia leaves

garden roses

we have a side yard that is out of control and i never go back there. today i found out that we have a rose bush that is taller than our house, and it is covered in these gorgeous blooms. i could only reach a few, but they ended up here.
