This wedding was so fun to be a part of! The University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor is a great place to host your ceremony, reception or both. Brides Bouquet below features ranunculus, craspedia, stock, garden roses, and the blue is twedia

Each Table featured 3 designs, 2 field flower arrangements in teal/blue mason jars on either side and 1 centerpiece composed of various vintage apothecary bottles.  I rent these items out so if you like them contact me for pricing.  I cut the table numbers from a vintage book of poetry and stories.
My favorite photos of this wedding below Sarah studying her vows just before the ceremony begins while all her guests are enjoying the gardens, and her too sons dressed in seersucker suits on is holding the maid of honor bouquet for her while she takes care of last minute details.  Can't you just feel their excitement?
This was such a fabulous wedding to be a part of!! The very beautiful and creative bride Sarah choose a vintage linen motif, the table runners were sewn with love by her grandmother. All weddings at the botanical gardens are instantly lush, colorful and elegant but Sweet Pea is so glad to add to the days decor!

Racoons like flowers too...Sweet pea camping in chelsea



Justin and i went camping at Green Lake over the weekend. The campsite was amazing with a view of the lake.  There was so much pretty stuff in bloom I couldn't help but make an arrangement for our picnic table.


I love camping in Chelsea if it is a bad weather day you can just go into town (1 mile) and play games at zou zou's cafe  or catch a play at the Purple Rose Theatre

 I am a huge fan of The Tree of Life Studio in Chelsea, Drum, Dance, Massage, Yoga, Juice Bar...what more do you need??


 It looks like a raccoon  climbed onto our table in the night to admire our pretty flowers :)

Wedding at the Ann Arbor City Club

Melissa and I delivered flowers to the Ann Arbor City Club. What an elegant location for a reception.  I have to say the photos on the AACC website really do not do it justice so if you are looking for a nice place don't rule this out without visiting first.


I wish I had taken better photos of the Gardens and Arbor which were the most impressive part in this florists opinion

Bride's Bouquet was composed of Peonies, Sweet Peas (of course) Dahlia, Parrot Tulips, Mini Green Leucadendron, Dendrobium Orchids, Ranunculus, Clover, and the berries from some wild thing that I found to replace the seeded eucalyptus that is out of season and looked like absolute garbage.

As a side note I have a giant collection of blue and teal mason jars to rent to my clients now, woo hoo!
