This Stanley Cup Floral Design was a highlight of the 2019 year! This blog post will be very short and sweet and a thank you letter to my previous assistant and designer, Ashton.  Some background information for you: sports are everything. Haha, let me rephrase that…sports are everything in my family. Growing up, we were […]

Michigan State University Corporate Event We love hosting any Michigan State University Corporate Event! When the MSU Broad College of Business approached us to provide all of the floral and design for the events surrounding the Minskoff Pavillion unveiling, we couldn’t jump at the opportunity fast enough! Most notably, we did a bespoke, sophisticated design […]

Did you know that sometimes we never meet our lovely couples in person prior to their big day?  This is due to one of two reasons: 1) our couple lives out of state and we don’t physically meet (we do always do a Zoom call though!) or 2) they have hired a gorgeous wedding planner […]

Summer 2019 was a summer to remember for us! We had so many gorgeous, bloom-filled weddings, and Carolyn + Eriks’  Eagle Eye Golf Club Wedding was no exception.

If given the option, would prefer to have rectangular tables vs. round tables for your guest seating at your next event? Most venues don’t supply enough of both types of tables to allow you the option of all of […]

The past couple of weeks, as an Michigan florist, I worked on creating a design for a styled shoot with Festoons & Flourishes and Niki Marie Photography in Detroit, Michigan at the Belle Isle Boat House.  It was very white-flower-heavy, and it got me thinking, why not share some of my favorite white flowers with you, and […]

Toss Bouquet Should I have a toss bouquet?  I get this question quite a bit as an East Lansing florist. Mostly because it’s something we offer complimentary with the extra flowers we have leftover after making bridal bouquets, centerpieces, etc. and everyone loves free stuff! Right? I usually get one of three reactions when I […]
