Rountree Flowers NYC

Being a wedding blogger has made me aware of some of the finest artisans in the country. As a floral designer, I have a strong appreciation for unique and creative work. So when I decided it was time to start working in NYC again, I had a few florists in mind that I was dying to work with.

Enter Jessie from Rountree Flowers. Not only is she aces when it comes to incredible bouquets, boutonnieres, and table arrangements, but she's super nice! Here is a sample of her gorgeous creations. I love her use of country wildflowers mixed with cultivated high end flowers, as well as the pods, berries and unusual greenery.







You can see more of Jessie's work on Sunday Suppers blog as well (it's an orgy for the eyes to be sure).

Smitten With: Felt Flower Scarf

When I came across this gorgeous handmade felt flower scarf from Viva Terra, I immediately put it on my Christmas list. It is so vibrant and unique and will look perfect with everything from a wool pea coat to denim jacket to a cozy sweater. It is the cat's pajamas for sure. Note to self- go through the closet and pull out all of the scrap felt.



Can you even take it?! Love.

Blog Stalking and Other Adventures

I love this time of year. Getting away with wearing my geeky tartan clothes, soups and stews bubble away on the stove, dog walks in the woods, and football games are a few of the things that make me most happy. Looks as though my blogger friends agree.

Pretty Posies

I'm jazzed by this photo shoot from Joshua Aull Photography featuring florals by Adorations in San Diego. I'm not usually attracted to neutral palettes, but I find this display of yellow, aqua, and gunmetal grey so beautiful. The bride and groom who sitteth here be lucky indeed!













So rich and vintage. Can you imagine sitting in those comfy chairs on your wedding day? Totally into the bouquet wrapped in yarn and the boutonniere.
