Farmers Market Wedding in Winter Park

May 16, 2013 Posted in: Wedding

I was so excited to see the photos from this past wedding at the Winter Park Farmers Market. Jason Mize did an amazing job capturing Annie and Jeffery’s day! The florals were a colorful combination of snapdragons, ranunculus, spray roses and anemones, adding lots of springtime color. I adore how they decorated the venue, from the Rifle Paper goods to the adorable placemats, this wedding was full of cute touches!

Spring Florals for Splendid’s Grand Opening

April 30, 2013 Posted in: Events

This past weekend I provided the florals for Splendid‘s grand opening party at the Mall at Millenia, co-hosted by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. and Lauren Bradshaw of Walnut Animal Society. Cupcakes were from Blue Bird Bake Shop. Florals used were coral peonies, billy balls, colorful ranunculus and yellow daffodils. And I used my favorite foliage- maiden hair fern.

Here are some instagram pics from the day:

Smells of France

April 23, 2013 Posted in: Our Recent Work,Varieties

It’s peony season! With that comes the most pouffy flowers in all the romantic colors and smells of France. We will have some beautiful varieties available as soon as we officially open up our storefront at East End Market, which should be in late June! Until then, they are available for custom orders- such as weddings and events. Enjoy the photos of our peony, anemone, silver dollar eucalyptus and astilbe arrangements.

A few months ago, I was a part of a styled bridal shoot at St. Pete Beach with Best Photography and some other awesome vendors. The shoot had a vintage beach lavender theme- and has since been featured in StyleMePretty Florida, Love and Lavender, and in print in Weddings Magazine UK.

A Day at Freshly Picked

March 22, 2013 Posted in: Freshly Picked Updates

Our first week of spring has been beautiful here at Freshly Picked! After a visit to the flower farm in Sanford, every one of our buckets was filled with spring blooms of local snapdragons, queen anne’s lace, eucalyptus and salvia along with California’s best and brightest pink anemones, spray roses, and pouffy ranunculus. They were ordered for a wedding we had on Thursday, but will be available all the time in our shop when it opens at East End or any time until then as custom orders with a couple of days notice.

Below is a peek at my work table- which was covered in beautiful spring colored petals.

Glittery Delray Wedding

March 10, 2013 Posted in: Wedding

Last Friday I arranged the florals for Inez + Matthew’s gorgeous, glitter filled wedding at the Sundy House in Delray. The flowers used were some of my favorites- garden roses, fragrant sweet pea, ranunculus, clematis and anemones. We used some new flower farms for the first time- including Peterkort in Oregon and Roseville right here in Apopka. I just had to share some of the instagram snapshots from the day!

The above photos are from Anna, who was my partner in crime for the event and an enormous help!

All of the gorgeous signage you see is by Shannon Kirsten, and it was all pulled together flawlessly by Sarah Tucker. Can’t wait to see the beautiful photos from Jessica Lorren!

Next three photos by Sarah Tucker- including my favorite- of the beautiful bride and her bouquet!

West Coast Roses

March 6, 2013 Posted in: Varieties

Last year while I was in California I was in a state of bliss… I was surrounded by roses with the prettiest petals and most beautiful scents. It became my inspiration to source roses from select small farms out West, ones that specialize in growing the most beautiful roses in an array of pretty colors. These farms are earth friendly, and their flowers are cake safe!

Last week we had in some Lavender tea roses, and those of you who got a whiff of them at the Market know that they smell like heaven! We also had some pure white roses that have an incredible vase life.

Below are some of my favorite varieties that we have available for custom orders:

The peach peony garden rose, the lavende tea rose, and the juliet garden rose.
