Gotta love it when UPS arrives at your door with a shipment straight from Amazon. Truth be told most of my inspiration comes from flipping through the beautiful imagery in books like these. How can you not be inspired after staring at pictures like these? You can learn a lot from books like these, but mostly it keeps the creative fire alive.

 

 

 

 

This year screamed “simplicity” and nothing sounded finer to us than creating some lovely holiday florals using only 2 or 3 main ingredients. Sometimes you have to let the flower or twig in our case speak for itself. There is such incredible beauty in a straight stem of red dogwood, a papery white branch of birch, or the simple red ilex berry, that it seems unnecessary to add much else. Often the vessel they sit in are just as important as the actual stem itself. Below is a collection of some of our absolute favorites so farĀ from this year. We always feel so blessed to be able to do what we do, and this time of year is no exception, so a HUGE thank you to all our amazing clients for allowing us to grace your homes and storefronts with our creativity.
