We owe you a huge thank you!

Thank you for your excitement about on-farm floral workshops!
(A few seats are left for: August 30th, September 13th, and September 26th)

Another big thank you for support at the Kirby Auxiliary Market on the Prairie today!
It was SO much fun to chat with so many of you! And such a surprise to sell out so quickly.
Thank you!

And as always, thank you for your continued support of being a premium subscriber and placing special orders, and booking workshops/events!

(And thank you for your patience if you’re waiting for an email response. This week has been full, and I’m so excited to catch up on communications tomorrow! )

Thank you again for loving our farm and flowers.
You truly are the best! 💗

You've spent the last few weeks taking care of everyone else. Come spend an evening doing something just for you.

A relaxed, beautiful evening on the farm where you'll walk our fields, slow down for a few hours, and leave with something you designed using stunning locally grown flowers.

This fall we're offering two workshop options here at Graceful Acres:

Field & Flower Evening (glass vase arranging workshop)— August 30th or September 26th

Premium Centerpiece Workshop — September 13th

(We shared these first with our email community. Huge thank you to those already joining us!)

Both workshops are relaxed, beginner friendly, and intentionally small so every guest gets the evening they deserve.

Tickets are available now, links in comments.

Grab a friend or two, or come solo.
Either way, we'd love to have you here on the farm. 💗

Giving sour candy vibes, right?

Sometimes I dream of color combinations (or, to be honest, lately they come to me while I'm up at night feeding a baby 😂)
And sometimes the color combinations scream out to us while we’re picking.

These bouquets just remind me of sour candy.
Sour patch kids. Warheads.
…
Can’t put my finger on exactly what candy?

What candy do they remind you of?

“If you’re looking for someone who creates more than flowers–someone who creates art–Rachel Schrader is the florist you want.”

I’ll never be over this May wedding.
Never ever.

From the very first phone call, when Maeve said she loved all the pastel shades of spring flowers, I knew we’d be a good fit.

This is exactly the kind of wedding we love to say yes to. We only accept a limited amount of wedding florals, offered first to brides getting married here at Graceful Acres.

We use a farmer-florist approach, and it does require a bit of trust in our "garden-led" design style that is seasonal and intentional.
Maeve (and her incredible mother Kim) gave us plenty of artistic freedom, and her beautiful review brought tears to my eyes.

“Rachel‘s creativity, attention to detail, and ability to turn ideas into something even more beautiful than we imagined are truly remarkable. “

Thank you again for choosing Graceful Acres, Maeve and Kim.
It was such a joy to grow and design for such a special day.
Thank you.
