Two of my friends married in the garden behind Longview Gallery in a joyful ceremony– The backdrop was made from doors they picked up at Second Chance Salvage in Baltimore Maryland. I added the moss, succulents, berries, twigs...

Happy to get Abby Jiu's photos from an October Newseum wedding I did with Ritzy Bee. These bouquets waiting for the ceremony are making me smile–
I have known Pum and Jake of Design Army for years, am a huge fan of their work, am indebted to them for my website, appreciate their unique perspective and always jump at the chance to collaborate on any project with them. When asked if I would be part of their team, helping with flowers and plants, for a promotion of One Club's, One Show competition the answer was immediately yes! Here is the result– once again I am inspired by their creativity, attention to detail and energy.

Just got photos back from my last wedding of 2011– The couple has impeccable taste down to the brides Roger Vivier shoes... planning and endless memorable details by Maria and Kelly of Ritzy Bee, the Georgetown Four Seasons, my first time working with both K. Rose and Mr. Boddington's Studio... lucky for me it was all documented by Kate Headley. These photos make me excited for my first wedding of the year this coming weekend!

Very excited to see a wedding I adored in the January 2012 issue of Southern Living Weddings– daydreaming about the beautiful June day on this chilly January morning!
Fabulous couple, the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg Virginia and an incredible team of Ritzy Bee Events, Brian Johnson Photography and Maggie Austin Cakes.
Last week I got flowers for an event I did at 1508. They were tremendous... Tulips from New Jersey, Peonies and Ranunculus are from Holland, Anemones for Upstate New York...I know they all had to travel to get here but they were very much enjoyed and appreciated!
I did flowers for a close friends sons Bar Mitzvah which was all about family, friendship and community...my friend happens to be a talented designer– it was meticulously conceived, I did the flowers and Kate Headley took photos...so, in addition to enjoying the celebration I got some fabulous flower photos–
I have had a great year of weddings– this one I am particularly fond of...lovely and generous couple with a great vision, elegant Decatur House, a gorgeous early November day, an abundance of fall flowers, coordination by Alexandra Kovach and... lucky for me all of that documented by the deeply talented Kate Headley!
November 5th was a big day for me...I did flowers for a few fabulous couples. I have seen glimpses of photos from the other weddings I did that day but these are the first complete set I have gotten back. As always it was a pleasure to work with Alexandra Kovach. Thank you to Michelle Frankfurter for the photos– her unique point of view is clear through the images that she captures...below are a few of the more flower-centric ones.
My friends and colleagues Maria and Kelly of Ritzy Bee recently finished a new wedding book for Southern Living. Rumor has it there is one advance copy floating around The Hive and it is gorgeous but I have not seen it yet! The Southern Living Wedding Planner and Keepsake: What to do before saying "I do" will be available to all of us on January 3 next year at bookstores and through Amazon. With their radiance and knowing that all of the photos were taken by Kate Headley I cannot wait to see it!! In the meantime you can sneak a peek on a recent Ritzy Bee blog post. Congratulations!!

Lovely bride, church ceremony followed by lunch at Longview Gallery, got to work with Teresa from Rex and Regina for the first time. Used lots of dahlias that are now done until next year from Bob Wollam, whites for personal flowers and bright oranges and reds for centerpieces at the lunch.
The bride picked up the different black and white ribbons at a favorite store of mine in NY M&J Trimming.

I loved the juxtaposition of the flowers and venue at this Late July wedding.
It was a pleasure to work with Amber Carson Events for the first time. Thanks Rodney Bailey for the photographs.
Loved to see images from early spring with my flowers on Style me Pretty last week!

Maybe it is the name that attracts me...personally I like ice cream and I like baked goods but I have always been partial to any baked good served with ice cream– a la mode... Dahlias do not travel well. I only use them when they are available locally, most years they are at their best in the DC area from August through mid October. Most of the dahlias I use are from Wollam Gardens. I use as many as possible, especially these bi-color white and orange a la modes, while they are available.
