And the winner is.....

WHITLEY AND SARAH!!!!! 

Congrats to these lovely ladies- they won our Love Is Love Sweepstakes! I cannot wait to meet with them, especially after they sent me this photo completely unprompted, and look so joyful and in love.

If you missed out on what the Love Is Love Sweepstakes was all about, here is a brief recap: During the November elections, Washington voters approved Referendum 74, passing a bill that legalizes same-sex marriage in Washington state.

We wanted to do something to celebrate this truly exciting moment, and long overdue right- so we decided to give away $1,000 worth of wedding floral design services to one couple getting married in 2013 in the greater Seattle area. Whitley and Sara were the lucky couple whose names I drew out of my favorite vase :)

Many thanks to all the couples who entered the sweepstakes! It was so lovely to read about everyone's ideas for their flowers and weddings- I feel like I just got the most wonderful glimpse into so many beautiful relationships. I hope I get to work with some of you all too- please be in touch if you would like to schedule a complementary consultation for your wedding- I'd love to meet in person!

Wishing everyone warmth, and many congratulations,

Kelly

DPP, Days 3 & 4

Day 4: Crabapple tree, defunct birdhouse, and magical sky

Day 3: One of our resident hummingbirds sitting on top of the plum tree.

The Cutting Garden looks pretty bare right now... just branches, birds, sky and a bunch of soggy earth. It makes this photo project all the more challenging! Read up on the December Photo Project here to see what this is all about (and why this blog is being turned over to photos that may or may not include flowers for the next month!)

December Photo Project: Day 2

Eli's "Magic" Beans, dried and ready to plant in next year's garden. Scarlet Runner Beans, the most unexpected colors...

December Photo Project

Day one of the December Photo Project! The fabulous Erin at Floret Flower Farm tipped me off to this project, and I think it is just a fantastic idea: one photo a day for the first 25 days of December.... I'm curious to see how it unfolds. This photo is a close-up of one of the arrangements I delivered today for a holiday party.

Stay tuned, more to come :)
