Shiny Happy People
From the minute we met with our lovely bride Kim, we knew we would have fun working with her. We always say that flowers should reflect your individual style, who you are as a person, and that is exactly what she did.

Green With Envy
I love when a bride puts her own twist on things. Our sweet bride Katie left us green with envy…literally. She took the ever popular color gray and paired it with a gorgeous green and a tiny pop of very light pink.

Thanks to Nine… Continue Reading

Is This Your First Time Here?
I think that was the question most asked of us as we made our way through the miles that make up the fields of the Round Top/Warrenton antique fair! Most people were surprised that we have lived this close and never ventured out that way. I could hear the slight gasp as we would tell… Continue Reading
Every Rose Has Its Thorn…
Actually, every rose has many thorns. Just take a look at our fingers after Valentine’s day and you will see the cuts to prove it. If women only knew what it took for them to get that lovely arrangement full of roses; they would appreciate them a lot more. And men would appreciate why they… Continue Reading
