Hi All....a few weeks ago I was scheduled to design flowers for a couple of tablescapes for a photo shoot...well, as in life, things happen and we didn't get to do the shoot....no worries, we couldn't let the flowers go to waste and I did promise you guys that I would start sharing more floral features at the cafe...so, here you go!
And perfect timing for a bright and "colorful" centerpiece...it's so cold in RVA today and this little pretty reminds me of a spring day with all the yummy and vibrant color palettes....and take note that the some of the tulips and the peonies are fully blown open...the arrangement was 4 days old when the image was captured by Cyn Kain Photography!
This was my first time working with Cyn.....she's such a beautiful person...inside and out and her work is simply lovely...make sure you check out her site!!
Enjoy y'all!!

Hello Lovelies....it's been a crazy busy couple of months at the full-time job...actually it's been busy since October...one more week to go and our busy season will be over (for those of you that don't know, in addition to blogging and designing flowers for weddings, I also work a full-time job)....I got home last night and I was totally exhausted and I received some AMAZING news from my friend Jamie Sears of Simply Chic Events....I had the pleasure of working with Jamie and her awesome team on a September wedding and I'm happy to share that it will be featured in the latest issue of Washingtonian Bride & Groom.....yes, I had to do my "happy dance"!
