Sara and Aaron, lookin good in the couplehood!

It's all kinds of brisk out there these days, with a tiny hint of color sprinkling the trees. That means Fall is just around the bend! When Flora thinks Fall, we think of snuggling, hot cider, sweaters, and... well... weddings!

Ok fine, we are always thinking about weddings. 

Today, team Flora wants to share with you a wedding we recently adorned with some of the breathtaking images taken by the strapping young lads over at Two Ring Studios. They sure do know what they're doing, I'll tell you what! We thought this wedding was just the cutest little thing ever, and we hope you agree!

So congrats to the beautiful couple, Sara and Aaron! Enjoy!

Thanks, Sara and Aaron! Here's to a million billion happy years together!

And super special thanks to Melissa at Asheville Event Company! It was a pleasure to work with such a  wicked cute and super laid back fellow Ohioan!

Cheers!

Scott and Lindsay Sittin in a Tree!

Team Flora recently had the opportunity to work with the fabulous Events by Kiersa and the ever so talented photographer Rebecca D'Angelo to provide our expertise for yet another lovely wedding!

Congrats to the charming Scott and Lindsay! Enjoy! 

 Here's to a happy and healthy life together, you two little love birds!

 

LaGuardia Love!

Super duper congrats to Mr and Mrs Michael and Nancy LaGuardia! These two little love birds tied the knot with a little help from yours truly and we loved loved loved this gig! Here are some pictures of the event, by Kelly Giezentanner. Thanks also to Shay Brown Events, the event planner!

Yay! We also received this sweet little note from the beautiful bride:

I just got back from St Lucia yesterday. You are truly a genius.  I could not be any happier with the flowers at the wedding.  The color and flower combinations were amazing.  They were a dream come true.  My Mother and I have received many many phone calls and notes from the guests with raves about the flowers.  And the favors, the terrariums were gorgeous and the pinwheels were adorable.  What lucky guests!!!!  I will never forget walking into the church and reception both sites took my breath away.

Many Thanks,

Nancy McCracken LaGuardia

Twas our pleasure, little lady!
Until next time, go enjoy that fresh summer air (and life in general)!

Again, congrats to the LaGuardias!

You bEtsy!

It's a lovely (ok, maybe a little hot) Friday, the weekend of Bele Chere, here in the mountains of Asheville!

Today team Flora added a couple of new goodies to the ol' Etsy shop and we want to share, naturally!

Sweet little chalkboard thought bubbles and equally sweet heart chains are now available to liven up and cute-ify your photos and homes!

Thanks to the boys at Blend for the photos.

First up, our little thought bubbles, available now for your personal expression needs!

Next up, a paper heart bonanza!

And don't forget about our silly little mustaches on a stick! Still available for your facial follicle needs!

I mean, Peter here sure seems to enjoy them.

Coming soon, we have more bEAUTiful wedding photos and updates.

Have fun and be safe out there in the Bele Chere wilderness!

Later taters!

Birds Flyin High... You Know How I Feel

What a beautiful day for a blooooooog! Good morning and happy Wednesday! It is heavenly outside, a great compliment to the chaos that's going on indoors. Here at Flora, we are surrounded by all kinds of fun projects and can't wait to show them off!

In the meantime, we just got our green thumbs on some beautiful photographs, compliments of Blend Photography, from Greg and Laura's wedding!








This is the wedding we showed a few blogs back in the teaser video that was made by (fabulous) Two Ring Studio. Congrats, Greg and Laura!!! T'was a pleasure!

Look at all of those purdy purples!

Best wishes, Greg and Laura!

Summah-summah-summah Time!

Hello, July! The sun has been no stranger to this summer season, and we have the tan lines and freckles to prove it!

Thankfully, team Flora has pulled in some extra (wo)man power to help us out in the yard and we are oh-so happy to have her around! We wish we had the time to do it alllll by ourselves but we needed an extra pair of hands and some educated eyes to help pick up the little tiny left-over bits here and there. We found a fabulous little lady from Rhode Island and we are happy to have her here in the south!

Also, we are working hard on our Little Black Book profile for Style Me Pretty! We submitted some photos today and hopefully they will soon be posted to our vender page so people can see what Flora is all about! We also added a badge to our blog! It looks like this

See?

Speaking of weddings (haha), we've got some photos to share! Congrats, Cat!

In other summer news, we took a little walk the other day and came upon the happiest little bunches of hydrangeas we have ever seen growing in a yard! They belong to a lovely woman named June and she is a spritely spirit indeed. She has lived in the same house in Carrier Park her entire life and her family has been there since 1925! We had the pleasure of getting a close-up look at her rows of pristine peonies, romantic roses, and beautiful blue hydrangeas (which she is graciously sharing with us) and we taaaaalked and talked. We are so happy to have met such a wonderful new friend! Flora can learn a lot from June!

So stay tuned, folks, for some more pictures of weddings weddings weddings galore taken by some of Asheville's finest photographers!

Until next time!
Later taters!

Alright kiddos, it is the month of June and do you know what that means? It means summer is a-comin' just around the corner! Did you know that June has the longest daylight hours of any other month in our little corner of the world? Did you know that June is known as "rose month" and also as the best month for honeysuckles (yuuuuuummmmy)? These cute little tidbits are exciting because as far as Flora is concerned, summer is the time for flowers, colors, sunshine, love, and best of all weddings!  

We have a few super exciting things to tell you about today and we have decided to bust out the most exciting (for us, at least) one of all first, yes sir! 

Flora is tickled pink to announce that we have been asked to be a part of the VERY special Little Black Book for Style Me Pretty (big deal big deal big deal!). Team Flora is so honored that we can't even think of any more words to describe how honored we are! Believe us when we say it's a challenge to find any member of Flora speechless! We are just so overjoyed! This super fabulousness was just signed/sealed/delivered only a little while ago, so keep a look out for us on the website in the near future! Everybody say YAY!

Whew that was a fun one to share! Now onto the next order of business: a sweet little teaser video from the faaaaaaaantastic (fully deserving of every single one of those letter As) Two Ring Studios! This is from Laura and Greg's big day! We had a ball adorning this special day with sweet peas, white peonies, globe thistle, and dusty miller! The colors were lavender, violet, and a touch of grey (awww so sweeeet). We also used a hefty handful of recycled glass terrariums! Now sit back and get a load of this little beauty!

Photographs and more details to come later! We cannot wait to share many more special days with Two Ring Studios and their loveliness! 

Last but not least, my friends, we have come to our final little bit of news! As we mentioned earlier and as most of you may have noticed, we here at Flora just love love love using terrariums to help decorate all kinds of events! We believe they are a sweet, long lasting, and environmentally friendly way to make a statement that lasts long after the big day! It seems as though the trend is showing up in other places too, as New York Times just did an article on terrariums! We suggest you take a gander and click through the slide show if you're as big a fan of these little guys as we are! We're glad that other people have taken notice of this beautiful and entertaining art form! VIVA LIVING ARRANGEMENTS! 

On that overly enthusiastic (but fully necessary) note, we are off to go make more pretty things for someone's special day! 

See you soon! 

Happy June! 

Whistle a tune!

Much love!
