flower school

I always love to learn from others. It would be a dream to attend a flower school taught by these two ladies.

rosendals trädgård

I think I found heaven. It's a little place called Rosendals Trädgård, a public space with cutting gardens, greenhouses, a nursery, orchards for picnicking, a cafe, a bakery, and lovely gardens full of romantic nooks and crannies. Think Petersham Nurseries but in Sweden! Jane of Simple + Pretty, I have a feeling you'd love this place! More photos on Flickr.

Somehow I missed this glorious flower post from Mav on 3191. Please check her Flickr too for more flowery photos.

diy wildflower bouquet

Here's a little wildflower bouquet I made for Project Wedding. Full article here. I am crazy over wild, rambling flowers these days.

I love, love, love this courtyard filled with terra cotta pots!

once wed: diy peony centerpiece

I am excited to tell you that I've started up my flower column at Once Wed again. This time, the stories will be photographed by Lisa Warninger (I can't tell you how happy that makes me!) July's article is a super easy peony centerpiece. You could also make this with garden roses or dahlias. And, like always, this is meant to be for your own home and party inspiration, not just weddings! Enjoy!

P.S. A huge thank you to the Ace Hotel for letting us shoot this at their awesome event space, The Cleaners.

project wedding: flower favors

Here's a quick and simple favor (or gift, party or centerpiece) idea I created for Project Wedding. I've recently become interested in stamping. It doesn't require much in the way of tools or skills and it's fast and easy! I am also a big fan of wrapping plants in Kraft or newspaper. It's something I used to do at my flower shop a lot. See full story and instructions here.

flowers for friday!

  

Two blog friends have recently inspired me with their pretty flowery photos. Thank you Kimberly + Sara! Happy Weekend, everyone!
