For our beginning blog entry, we would like to share a bit about us; our style, our identity, and why in the world we do wedding flowers.

First, we are obsessed with flowers!! Not just wedding flowers....all flowers. Elisha and I both agree we haven't met an ugly flower to date. I know, I know we meet a lot of brides who dislike carnations, sunflowers and baby's breath, and I might agree they are a bit overdone, but the flower by itself is certainly not ugly.

Flowers are so gorgeous that it is quite presumptuous to believe that we can make them lovlier with our abilities. Some of the loveliest arrangemtents are the rows of five gallon buckets at the wholesale market. Unedited, untouched, un-fussed with; these flowers are the medium for art.

Tulips in every color at the wholesale market.

So what does our flower obsession mean to you? Well, dear bride, it should give you the assurance and peace that only a flower-obsessed florist should bring you: your flowers will look gorgeous on your wedding day. Why? Because we are perfectionists down to our core. We are nit-picky and persistent, and above all: we let the flowers do the talking. We aren't finished with a bouquet until every flower is happy in its place, and, as one flower blogger pointed out, "the aesthetic gods are pleased."

What else do we care about? Price and value. Fresh flowers are seen as luxury item (though in Europe, flowers are purchased at the market like produce...every time you shop! I swoon...), and yes, they are expensive. Don't believe me? Try sending flowers to someone online....$150 for what!?! However, beautiful flowers should never be out of the price range of any bride. We are committed to working with any budget to give you flowers that you'll love. And because we only do weddings and special events and don't have a store front, we can pass all that savings along to you!

We would love to meet you and discuss your flowers....c'est notre joie de vivre!!
