October is Here!

September flew by! We did 13 amazing weddings in September with really wonderful couples. Each one was unique and challenging and exciting and beautiful!

With September over, October is here and it’s by far my favorite month of the year (oh yeah…and  it’s my birthday month!). The colors and flowers we get to work with are incredible. Lots are deep, vibrant reds, oranges, golds, greens and browns.

For the first weekend in October, we worked on a wedding at the historic Belvedere Hotel for a great couple: Eleni and Peter. The wedding colors were white, burgundy, purple and green. The bouquets were filled with dahlias, scented geranium, eucalyptus and beauty berry.

The church arrangements used the same  dahlias as the bouquets in addition to salvia, tuberose, and hairy balls.

The table centerpieces were floral wreaths with table number/candles in the center.

In addition to Eleni and Peter’s wedding, we also delivered alter flowers to St John’s in Mt Washington. Our new design assistant Heather worked on these beautiful Fall arrangements.

I’m really excited for Heather to join our team. Look for her next week selling flowers at the St. John’s Day and Harvest Festival on October 9! Stop by and say hi!

Finally, we delivered some fun Fall arrangements with a little bit of everything  to Apothecary Wellness in Federal Hill.

Thanks to our great growers for all of their hard work in September. Looking forward to another great month before the frost sets in.
