A Girl's Dream

As a little girl, I dreamed of finding my Prince Charming just like Cinderella and Snow White. Then fantasized endlessly about being a bride with my white towel draped over my head, pretending it was my long, long veil. Well, what little girl doesn't? Many of us dream and formulate an image of our perfect guy and our perfect wedding in hopes that one day our dreams do become our reality.
As for me, I did find my Prince Charming and our lives together have proven to be a fairytale with all the necessary elements; twists, turns, tragedies, and a happily ever after that we are still working on. However, the Fairytale wedding in a big ballroom with luxurious decor didn't quite take place for us. Our wedding was quaint, simple, intimate and just perfect for us.
That said, I'm still a girly girl that fantasizes about weddings, but now I dream about other peoples' weddings. Now a days, I'm obsessing over my little sister's wedding to take place next April. Yes, I know it's 11 months away and we have plenty of time to decide on florals, but I'm so excited for her and I want to get going on all the wonderful ideas, in hopes that her Fairytale Wedding comes true.

Unique Spring Buds…Kale?


At first glance this huge, perfectly formed bloom looks like a giant Rose. Then, upon closer inspection, it is revealed to be . . . Kale! This VEGETABLE is edible and comes in different colors that are used in floral arrangements. Looking like a ruffled flower, we paired it up with floral buds and greenery to create spectacular Spring arrangements. Kale has made a lasting impression on our Spring bride, Jessica, and it will be the most anticipated guest at her upcoming wedding.
