Kristen + James ~ Kontokosta Winery Wedding

Apr 4, 2017 | Weddings

From the beginning Kristen mentioned she really loved peach tones (which I immediately became super excited about - more peach weddings please!). From there we balanced the vibrancy of the peach with soft shades of cream, champagne, and blush. We used fluffy peonies...

Brianna + Evan – Garrison Wedding

Mar 21, 2017 | Weddings

The welcoming back of Spring continues as we share photos from Brianna and Evan's Garrison, New York wedding. It was our first trip to The Garrison and we immediately fell in love with the venue. The outdoor ceremony garden was simply beautiful, with the scenic...

Spring Flower Workshop

Jan 6, 2017 | Workshops

It's always been a dream of mine to teach floral design. Perhaps once I retire, write a book about flowers and travel the world teaching. While that sounds like a good plan for the future it also seems so far away. My main goal behind opening the shop was to inspire...

Ashley + Terence ~ Oheka Castle Wedding

May 25, 2016 | Weddings

Ashley and Terance's autumn wedding was truly breaktaking. My favorite part about designing the flowers for this couple was creating the rich, berry toned color palette. Normally I find mixed color palettes a challenge as every detail and color choice has to be just...

Creative Simplicity ~ Early Spring

Apr 25, 2016 | Flowers

"Don't use a lot where a little will do" ~ Proverb Simplicity has set the tone for my inspiration these past few months - feeling a sense of peace and appreciation when things are less complicated. Whether its through fashion, interior design, relationships I have, my...

Mallory + Travis ~ Seawanhaka Yacht Club Wedding

Mar 3, 2016 | Weddings

Nautical weddings...it's no secret we simply adore them. With an outdoor tented reception overlooking Oyster Bay, the Seawanhaka Yacht Club was the perfect setting for Mallory and Travis's summer wedding. Charming nautical details paired with a soft color palette of...

Carolyn + Daniel ~ Centerport Yacht Club Wedding

Feb 22, 2016 | Weddings

Carolyn + Daniel's wedding photos have me excited for the warm, fleeting days of summer. They couldn't have asked for a more beautiful July day. As I look back at their flowers now I see how "summery" they really were. The vibrant shades of yellow, peach, orange, and...
