EARLY JUNE for Lucy and Eli. I texted Manifest Events the week of the wedding when I saw my coreopsis explodingđŸ’„in my garden and I asked her if she thought that little inky wine pop would go with our palette (which had some moody olive moments in dĂ©cor) and she was totally game so we confirmed with the bride and THIS is my favorite part of pushing myself to garden on top of all the florist-ing. Making these literally three days before the wedding decisions just because I had the product to play with always yields my favorite sparkling design. Don’t worry I always communicate before throwing in any wild card details and I’m never offended if you didn’t picture your wedding day with coreopsis as the main character. Foam free floaty head table meadows forever. Watch out for the cutest studio helper cameos đŸ„Č

Carousel follow-up to my post from days ago I didn’t post sooner because I got some kinda body achy chills flu with hacking cough and pounding headache for 3 days and spent my time napping on and off through season 2 of Veronica Mars 🙃đŸ€Ș

managed to get amazing shots which just proves it’s not the rain plan (or nearly 100 degree weather) requiring a tent that made your photos look dark and meh it was your photographer’s lack of technical skill at shooting in high contrast lighting lol. Angela you are a real PRO!

Our hydrangea-loving bride Claire wanted a soft lavender and blue focused palette with hints of blush. Had to tame my usual tendency for wispy wilder moments to fulfill her vision that she described in terms like “I love symmetry” so the product was a little more cultivated over untamed. I pride myself on being able to shift styles to make any client’s dreams a reality. I was not able to source much local as the timing of delphinium crops all over the Upstate did not cooperate so it was maybe the LEAST locally-sourced event I’ve done outside of winter timing BUT I did stick to my stubborn devotion to eschew foam. 😆

The 132 foot runner and all table decor was set in the same space as the ceremony and it was the most challenging flip our team has pulled off. Pro-tip don’t rent a refrigerated truck from Penske. They will still charge you over $200 for a metal box on wheels that didn’t do its job for more than 10 minutes and forced me to beg the restaurant manager to let us park flowers in the dining room during a busy lunch because I was terrified they’d melt outside waiting for 7 PM table setting. 😅

Things I hope to see more of in 2026- clients who skip bouquets for bridesmaids and keep personal flowers so simple. You are ALLOWED to do whatever you want. Wanna skip bouts for everyone except your groom/dad and officiant? 👍 Love having your girls pose with you in mismatched dresses they actually like wearing but keep the focal point YOU and your $$$ bouquet? 👍 Have moms who don’t want to wear a cuff corsage all night? 👍 I am seriously considering an invoice discount for clients who eschew the gorgeous and lovely but labor intensive pieces like wearables and giant wedding party flowers. You can save at least $1-2K in floral costs that could go to making your altar actually memorable in photographs (bigger installs usually mean bigger cost!) or decking out an area that most all guests will actually look at- like the BAR. Focus your investment in places strategically and save your floral team HOURS and 2 days of studio work so they can really pour their energies into the wow moments even more. The handful of one bout/one bouquet weddings I had this season gave me so much joy and a lovely studio work flow that hours and hours of fiddly prep for bouts and bouquets robs or costs me in employee hours.

Also be like and send all vendors a final prep week list of ALL event vendors and their properly spelled tags (see below) in a Honeybook brochure they can continue to access for months to come so it makes sure all vendors get their proper credit and we all help each other out. đŸ„°

September/rehearsal dinner magic let me have wayyyy too much fun with the details. Our theme was moody cozy harvest picnic but I wanted to make it a little punk rock and masculine and not more typical harvest abundance vibes.

Pops of black and lime starting freaky blooms textures on textures and lots of seasonal bits. Every September a frost grape vine gives me trusses of true black perfect for an inky palette and I love it so. I gathered some freshly fallen chestnuts from our driveway and clipped clusters of green cherry maters and baby sized eggplants out of Sam’s plants to trail out of bowls. I hope the guests could smell my very flowered out lemon basil that was the backbone of these table pieces, aromatherapy for the studio that week. (Everleaf lemon is my new must grow farmer pals. Didn’t look mildewed for months despite me letting it go to flower and sit for weeks. Infused into cream made my favorite ice cream ever too- just FYI🙃)

I adore when the rehearsal dinner allows for some bold design that may be a little toooo offbeat for the big day depending on your taste. The night before doesn’t just have to be a mini version of the nuptials night. Trust your vendor team to run with it/make it a little weird but classy and it may just be our favorite part of the whole design. Any opportunity to use quail eggs in styling sign me UP!
