Mary & Mike's Wedding - Coindre Hall - 7.1.17

With the ruffly white petals of garden roses and peony, the delicate scent of tuberose and lots of lush green ferns, these flowers were bound for glory.

Mindful Meditation Event

Last week we designed for a lovely corporate event with a theme of "Mindfulness" which essentially is the practice of focusing your attention on the present moment—and accepting it without judgment.

The event was held in the Garden Room at the Darien Community Association in Darien, CT.  The guest speaker was Dan Harris of ABC News whose book, "10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found a Self-Help That Actually Works", deals with the topic of mindful meditation.

The flowers were designed to be calming, serene and of course, seasonally appropriate like a forest floor in Spring. Here are some photos:

8' farm tables gave the event a communal, intimate feel.

Lush 6' moss table runners were created and topped with votives, several fern varieties, clover, foraged andromeda and seasonal white flowers such as muscari, alyssum and pansies

Flower Deliveries

Every week we deliver flower arrangements to a few local businesses and The most perfect August day instinctively inspired this week's flowers.  

Vivid sunny yellows. Purples and oranges like a hazy sunset and sky blue delphinium.

Quintessential summer.

August Driftwood Haul

We are on a never ending quest for driftwood to make our custom-made driftwood signs.  In the winter, with more storms to wash it ashore and less people to collect it, there's an increased supply but the search is far less enjoyable.  No complaints though, even in the bone-chilling cold, I could never tire of any seascape and its smells, sounds and scenery.  

So with the scant supply of summer driftwood, I was forced to get creative.  Bend the rules a bit.  With the gracious help of my husband, I traveled off the beaten path, by boat and paddleboard.  Landed sort of near where a no landing sign was posted.  And there on a glorious summer day, was driftwood nirvana.  We quickly gathered what we could, loaded up our two paddleboards, transferred it to the boat anchored just offshore and kindly waved hello to marine police as we slowly drove away.  

Though I'm keeping my spot a secret, I figured I'd share a photo of some of our haul...
