We’ve been quiet here on Facebook but anything but that on the farm. From flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and all of life’s other moments where flowers are needed. Sometimes that’s flowers on the kitchen table.
July is the month that sets us up for the rest of the season. Plantings of our final successions are made, greenhouse beds are cleared and reseeded for Thanksgiving flowers and beds are weeded giving the plants room to breathe as they make their push towards flowering. I love this time as I feel prepared to enter August and September where we need flowers for weddings each week and all our other commitments. The gardens are lush and beautiful so the days will be full of flowers and beauty if all goes well.
This weekend we had the joyful task of transforming the lobby at Hidden Valley into a garden so guests of C & B’s wedding would be surrounded by beauty as soon as they arrived. We worked with the groom’s grandmother as she had a vision!
This wedding was a family affair and what a welcoming and supportive family.
The wedding took us between Huntsville and Bracebridge as the ceremony was in Bracebridge and we used some of the ceremony florals at the reception back at Hidden Valley so needless to say, we planned out our timing and mapped out our days!
A huge thanks to Jenny, Shannon and Cindy for bringing the vision to life and to Fern and Kate who had harvested beautiful blooms for us to use! It’s a team effort and I’m so fortunate to be surrounded and supported by these amazing women!
Photos of the wedding to come as I’m horrible at documenting while we work. I get immersed and the last thing on my mind is a photo!! I live in the moment!
