Local and In Season!

I love to pick my own flowers. Around here, the local farms grow zinnias and sunflowers, in July and August. AND the best part is...you get to pick them yourself! They are the perfect flowers for summer weddings because they come in a variety of bright colors, they hold up well in the summer heat, they have a large bloom so you don't need a ton of them, and they fit just about any budget!

I picked these from Lewis Orchard in Poolesville, MD for only 30 cents per flower! Picture bunches of these in mason jars or metal watering cans, or single stems in bud vases of varying sizes. It would be super cute!

Now, this is fun!

This was from another June wedding. The reception was held in downtown Frederick, MD. Bright yellow spider mums and various green flowers popped against the black and white damask print used at the reception. Damask print is a favorite of mine, so I loved seeing my flowers with that backdrop. Fun!

A Beautiful Day

The month of June had a few very beautiful days for weddings. This wedding was held outdoors at The Comus Inn, and the dark purple calla lilies gave a modern and chic feel to the rural setting.
