Welcome

Last fall I had the pleasure of creating a simple yet romantic floral vignette for a bride who due to covid restrictions was forced to reschedule her spring 2020 to May 2021. Looking to create an ethereal and feminine 'getting ready' experience ahead of the actual wedding, Suzzy reached out to her photographer Kelly Sweet and then to me to bring this to life for her. It was a slow-paced October morning, the sun pouring in through the studio windows, no pressure to create anything over the top, music playing in the background while the three of us immersed in conversation. I remember feeling such contentment amongst us all in the space that day.

I brought in ivory candles and flowers selected to mimic the ones proposed for Suzzy's wedding day so that these photos would connect well with the ones taken on her wedding day. Kelly's husband Pete painted that beautiful backdrop which we propped up in the studio for some of the photos (remember Kelly and Pete?). Kelly captured the film images. And the rest is all courtesy of Suzzy from her impeccable bridal aesthetic to the flutes and champagne - isn't she one exquisite bride?

Yesterday Suzzy finally married her husband in front of their closet friends and family so it's appropriate now to share these stunning portraits of her! Kelly and I have been so eager to share these since October and hope you enjoy the images as much as enjoyed creating them. Congratulations to you and your new husband, Suzzy! Wishing you a lifetime of love and joy.

One of the perks of being a floral designer for the last ten years is having an in-home inventory of containers and vases to decorate with. As seasons and my tastes have changed so has my collection but unsurprisingly there are a handful of my vessels that have stood the test of time! In this post I'm going to share some of my personal favorite vessels but also a selection of beauties online currently for you to add to your collection. These containers are perfect for flowers from your garden or a local grocery store bouquet purchase.

And while obvious it needs to be said! Flowers are such a delight whether they're a part of your career like they are for me, hobby that brings you joy, or once-in-a-blue-moon way to decorate your home and enhance your hosted gatherings. My hope is this post will inspire you to infuse more of them into your life thanks to my flower tips, reflections, and notes on the varieties you'll see through the photos shared here. As always, the gorgeous imagery is courtesy of my talented friend, Samantha James Photography.

Some of my favorite vessels are from places like Accent Decor (where you have to have an account to shop since it's a resource geared towards retail owners and professional designers), Target, Amazon, and vintage shops in the Grand Rapids area. I also have a few treasured containers like that tall fluted blue and white floral-print number that are belonged to my Nan many moons ago. Many of my favorites fall in the pink depression glass / blue and white ceramic / naturals aesthetic categories as these styles coordinates well with our home and tastes but truly the flowers are the pieces that always steal the show regardless of the vase.
