Pink, But Make It Pop!

Gosh, is there anything better than June? The warmer weather, the longer days, the feeling of summer coming in and alllll of the flowers!!! I could be biased though because June is my birthday month and the month my husband and I got married! Okay, I’m very biased!

Well this past June was no different. On a perfect June day, our couple Brendan and Lara tied the knot with a fun and bright wedding in Bristol, Rhode Island. With pink being the main focus of this palette, oranges were also added in to create feminine, romantic and playful floral decor that spoke to the time of year and our loving couple.

With Mount Hope Farm tent as the backdrop for this reception, a bright and airy Spring-inspired wedding was created with an abundance of June’s best florals: peonies, garden roses and so much more! The most perfect design elements within the tent brought the whole look together including fun bamboo chairs, eyelet runners for the head tables, blush pink tapered candles, gold floral vessels and handprinted, watercolored floral escort cards.

All together, this wedding reflected everything I love about June and why we love working with local flowers! The garden’s bounty was showcased in everything from the bouquets, to the church arrangements, to the tables-giving guests an experiences for their senses!

Take a look at the magic that was created for our lovely couple, with the help from a talented vendor team!

Spring Time Magic

2021 wedding season was definitely a memorable one, as it was two years worth of weddings jammed packed into one year! More weddings +less flowers + labor shortages + more restrictions= a challenge for the entire floral/events industry. Thank God for our personal relationships with the talented farmers here in Southern New England plus our amazing couples who put their trust in us completely. Without all of them, none of our weddings this past year would have been possible or as magnificent as they were!

We want to take the next few months to look back on the magic that was created in our studio and to acknowledge those flowers, those farmers and those clients who made our job a JOY this past year, even with all of the obstacles.

So- let’s start with my favorite season for flowers; Spring! First up, our fun, energetic and lovely couple Jessica and Andrew!

On a moody Spring day in May, you know the kind where you get the full gamete of weather, Jessica and Andrew said their I-do’s seaside at the beautiful and serene property at Mount Hope Farm. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, J&A invited guests to a fun, laid back, cheerful party under the stars- reminding everyone why love and celebrations are so important!

When Jessica and I met, we instantly connected! Not only do we share a love for Little Compton (where I am from and where TLB’s HQ is) but we also bonded over art, design and our appreciation for celebrating nature! I loved that Jess wasn’t afraid of color or having fun, which prompted me to gather all of the stars of a spring garden for her bouquet! In the Fall of 2020, I planted a wide range of tulips in the whole rainbow of colors as well as daffodils for the sole purpose to be used on their wedding day. Coupled with poppies, ranunculus, garden roses, daffodils and even flowering branches like spirea- J&A’s wedding was the perfect representation of seasonality, nature and their moment in time!

Overall the decor was warm, simple, eclectic with a hint of vintage. It felt comfortable to their guests and highlighted the flowers without being fussy or over done.

The talented Joseph Laurin captured this wedding perfectly, highlighting the joy and light this couple emulated to everyone around them. Those smiles say everything!

2020 Holiday Gift Guide

Does Christmas seem like it is coming earlier this year, or is just me? I know my friends and I have already started talking about the Christmas season and how we want to go a little bigger this year to make up for how hard 2020 has been! One of the ways I plan on “going big” this year is with my gifts. I want to invest in meaningful, well made, useful gifts that I know my family and friends would love to receive!

On that note, I thought it would be fun to create a 2020 holiday “Gift Guide” for all of you! Consider this a few of my favorite things that I know any gardener, flower lover or creative on your list would love to receive this year. I either already own and love these things or they have been on my meaning to buy list!

Scroll through my list and add them to yours (the links are below, organized from left to right). Hint: A gift certificate to our “Farmer Florist Series” paired with some of the items on this gift guide would make the most perfect Christmas gift in the whole world!
