I can't get enough of my echinacea. I've got ivory, cantaloupe orange, butter yellow, jewel pink and the classic native purple. It just gives that perfect vibe for summer florals.

Do you grow any weird plants? I'm sure there's more in my garden but this is what I found this week!

Using seasonal flowers at your wedding means that the exact moment in time is represented through what is naturally blooming on that date. It brings such a lovely and meaningful element to an already special celebration ❤️🌹
Brianna & Cole's wedding flowers included ranunculus, peonies, allium, irises, silene, spirea, deutzia, astrantia, garden roses, yarrow, orange blossom, mint, anemones, foxglove, valerian, pincushion flowers and more.

When I do cutting garden consultations I always tell people to pick a palette or two and stick to it, especially when just starting out with growing cut flowers. BUT as you get more experienced and maybe even expand your space, you might have the room and the inclination to broaden your colour options. I personally went through a few years of mainly growing white, blush, peach, and lavender (my faves), but now that I have extra growing space (thanks @hilltopfarmandflowers!) I have a lot of fun bringing in more brights. Because sometimes you just need bright colours, you know?
Do you colour scheme your garden?

This is Fritillaria Meleagris, an easy to grow bulb that you plant in the fall for spring flowers. Flowers in the Fritillaria family are some of the most unique cut flowers you can grow, and something to look forward to when there's still not a lot blooming in the garden.
My other favourite is Fritillaria Persica, check her out as well!
Let me know if you think you'll give Fritillarias a try in your garden!

I can't stop singing this song only as "wisteria of London" so that's why it's on this reel 😂
My England trip is very flowered themed so stay tuned for more!

There are some really great strategies for naturalistic flower arranging, like layering your flowers and allowing the natural shapes of stems to shine, but the trick that I have found makes all the difference in my designs is allowing flower heads to face different directions.
If you look at traditional floral designs all the flowers tend to face forward. But that's not how flowers are naturally (check out your garden for inspiration!), and if you let the flowers face sideways and down, etc, suddenly the arrangement looks so much more natural and gardeny!

This is Silene, also known as Bladder Campion because of how they look like little bladders 😁😍
Fun fact, it's technically considered a "weed". Just one more example of how weeds are only bad if you don't want them ❤️. Of course invasive species are another story, but these little babies are not invasive 🥰
So cute and special for the cutting garden!

I love bud vases because of how versatile they are! You can have a tonne going down the middle of the table, you can use them alongside some larger arrangements, or you can go more minimalist with them. If you use 100% locally grown flowers and vintage vases, this design choice is literally garden fresh and fully sustainable!
Let me know in the poll below if you've fallen in love with bud vases 🥰
