Following Your Heart

For me following my heart in floral work means following nature. As I’ve grown as a wedding florist, I have become very attuned to making bouquets that resemble flowers in their natural world. Muted colors or bright colors, but always colors that you would see naturally. And my bouquet styles always lean toward the organic, unstructured, whimsical way flowers would grow in my garden.

Another way I follow my heart is when I connect with a bride because of her wedding style. Sarah came to me as a referral (my favorite way to get new clients) and her wedding colors were mauve, dusty rose and cream for an October wedding. I was already dreaming of what flowers I would choose before we were even done talking!

The flowers I used were quicksand roses, amnesia roses, cottage yarrow, blushing bride protea, burgundy astrantia and terra cotta carnations, with caspia and mixed eucalyptus. The wedding was held at Twisted Pine Farms in Hutchinson, Kansas.

I love that Sarah chose to use her floral arch inside behind the cake table after the ceremony. It was too pretty to leave outside!

What a sweet photo! Sarah’s mom and dad were both so kind to me as I was setting up this wedding and we discovered we knew several people in common, including my good friend Lynnette!

Thank you all so much for letting me be a part of this beautiful day, and please keep sending me your referrals!
