is also a 2009 & 2010 Wedding Wire’s Choice Winner as well as The Knot 2010 &
2011 DC Area Best of Weddings and The Knot 2011 Best of Baltimore Weddings.

design class in high school. She also worked in local floral shops and entered many
floral design competitions through 4-H where she snagged the prestigious award of
“Grand Award Winner” of the competition. These experiences fueled her passion she
hasn’t looked back.

K-How can a bride incorporate the holidays into her wedding flowers?
R-
*Ornaments as favors hanging on a tree in the reception room
- Have guests sign ornaments instead of a guest book – ready made decorations for the 1st Christmas together.
- Embrace the colors of the season – if your church will be decorated with red poinsettias for your day, don’t pick orange and yellow for your scheme. You will have to do too much to hide what is already there.
K-How can clients get in contact with you?
R-Phone and email are the best!

My Bridal Bouquet! We incorporated flowers and crystals. We also included feathers in various centerpieces and in my husband’s boutonniere as a surprise 
.
.I think it’s time my husband put a call in for birthday and Valentine’s day flowers.
