Houston Wedding Florist Designs Lush and Romantic Garden Inspired Florals

As I thought about what I wanted to present to all of you this Holiday season, I thought very deeply about the feeling I wanted to share with you through my floral pieces. I spent countless hours pondering this and the theme for everything I found to be meaningful to me, was Intention and Inspiration.

Livingston Florist Creates Stunning Sustainable Floral Installation at The Ranch-1988 with locally foraged solidago for a dramatic textured floral installation.

From the moment we pulled up to the venue with the U-haul full of fresh seasonal blooms, we knew this was going to be a breathtaking weekend full of love, laughter, and beautiful flowers. From the stunning Mission-style ranch estate to the perfectly paired color palette, we were completely mesmerized.

We’ve all heard the saying,”You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can’t take Texas out of the girl.” Well I tried to leave and I can tell you from experience that it is much harder to leave Texas than the old saying alludes. While the beauty we lived in being Maine residents is unlike anything I have ever experienced, we missed our people. If we could have moved all of you out there with us to have the best of both worlds, we would have in a heartbeat! Because if there is one thing we learned from our Northern expedition, it is that people make a home, not the place.

Being a floral designer is what led to me chasing this dream of having my own cutting garden which eventually turned into our flower farm. So being able to design on a whim, without having to visit a flower market or get in touch with a wholesaler is an absolute dream come true. Most of all, I love knowing where my flowers are coming from, how fresh they are, and knowing the time, effort and care that went into them. It makes every design I create that much more meaningful and magical. Lately I have been making more time for myself to design using only the blooms I’ve grown. To really take the time to appreciate the beauty that is coming off of the farm and showcasing it to the best of my ability. And also to show people that local and seasonal flowers can be beautiful for every occasion. Here is what I’ve been up to.

There is so much color exploding on the farm right now and I am loving every second of it!

Whatever it is you find peace and joy doing, take the time to notice the small moments that make up the whole. Pay attention to your breathing and how your body is moving. How getting lost in those small moments can wash the most calming waves over you and ease you into a feeling of relaxation, and at the same time, releasing pent up energy and the powerful feeling of being alive. Life is happening all the time, everyday all around us. If we don’t stop to take these small moments of appreciation, it could be gone before we ever notice it. Be sitll, breathe and listen.

The highlight of our spring season and our biggest success hands down has been our ranunculus. They have brought such abundant beauty to our field and happiness in your home as well as our own. They are definitely a favorite here at Poppy Leigh for obvious reasons. They are a flower that definitely ages like a fine wine. Their delicate petals open and get fluffier everyday and start to look as though they could simply flutter away with the slightest breeze. If there was ever a flower capable of transforming into an elegant ballerina, I believe the ranunculus would be it.

At the start of Spring, there is an abundance of hope in what is to come. Seeds full of possibility are being planted and everyone is eagerly awaiting the beauty that is right around the corner. I have been impatiently waiting for this day to arrive, and it is finally here! All of the preparation and planning are proving to be well worth the effort and I could not be more excited for what the season brings.

Growing and nurturing flowers from seed has taught me many things, including patience and persistence, to hold on to hope and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

This Valentine’s Day will be unlike any before for me. Last Valentine’s day was spent smack dab in the middle of the hustle and bustle…

When I really sit down and think about it, Poppy Leigh was created quite organically.

Many years ago, there was a seed planted in my mind and it has finally set roots and bloomed into Poppy Leigh Floral Co.
