Inspiration Board: Green Thumb

We have a styled shoot coming up in February and are trying to get all our ideas and inspiration narrowed down! Here is one of our boards that we are calling "green thumb". We've had quite a few brides at the wedding shows say how much they love greens and only want greens for their flowers. It's not traditional, but we LOVE it!!!

Seattle Wedding Show 2016

We had such a great weekend! The Seattle Wedding Show was so much fun, and we have been emailing brides non-stop the last couple days, it's awesome!

Out booth was so beautiful this year. Caity's husband built custom metal shelves that fit the space perfectly. They truly showcased all of our flowers.


Then, we had the honor of having our floral showcased in the the fashion show! The models did a great job of making them look even more beautiful.




Look! Our name is on the big screen! 
Huge thanks to everyone that stopped by our booth. We can't wait to work with you!

Which is Which? Eucalyptus

There are so many different types of plants/flowers out there. Sometimes multiple in the same category. So when we write up a quote and the bride says "What kind of flower is that? And what's the difference between these?" we hope these blog posts will clear it all up!

Today we are talking about eucalyptus. There are many many kinds out there, but the 5 that we are focusing on today, are the ones we most commonly use.

1. Feather


This eucalyptus is, obviously, very feathery. Makes any bouquet looks undone, eclectic, rustic, and natural. 

2. Gunnii 



Gunnii and Sprial (number 5) are very similar. Difference is that Gunnii has fronds that stick of the main stem, where as Spiral is just one long stem. 

3. Silver Dollar


Silver Dollar looks exactly as it sounds, like silver dollars you'd find on the beach. Same shape, big and round. Now the next eucalyptus is Seeded. The main difference between the two is the shape and the fact that Silver Dollar does not have the seeded. 

4. Seeded 


We use seeded all the time. We love it!!! Makes bouquets rustic, undone, and natural. Also draws out a fun texture from the seeds. 

5. Spiral


Spiral always reminds me of my grandmother. She dries them and hang them on her wall. This eucalyptus sticks straight up. We love it more for centerpieces.
