Something blue, steal my heart! This was a wonderful collaboration of southern style last month in North Augusta. My favorite part is the gazebo installation. It’s no secret that we have a natural and organic style, so what could be better than building a flower meadow as a backdrop for your ceremony?!

I couldn’t share these photos without giving a shoutout to all of the local women-led businesses that pulled this together. Please do me a favor and check them out!

Bohemian Styled Shoot

Confession time: I don’t really like trends. I don’t know what it is about them, but I’ve always strayed away from the “popular” or “in” thing when it comes to fashion, music, and, I’m going to say it, floral design! HOWEVER, I am always up to use an ingredient that I haven’t had the opportunity to work with yet, and in this place it was the trendy reed, pampas. I figured we would hop on the bohemian bandwagon when Nicole of Soulshine Photography asked if we wanted to take part in a southern boho styled shoot, and I am SO glad we did! I was thrilled to be able to use a lot of dried ingredients and even some live plants as I prepared this order. Be sure to scroll to the end of the gallery below to see en epic light-colored bouquet with a huge air plant in it!

This shoot has also been published on Bride Link out of Knoxville, Tennessee. This is our third publication since opening 2 years ago. Super exciting! As usual, you’ll find all of our ingredients for this shoot listed below, along with the wonderful vendors that participated, and last but not least, the gallery!

I N G R E D I E N T S

Vendela roses, blushing majolica spray roses, caramel antique garden roses, blackberry scoop scabiosa, scabiosa pods, dried phalaris grass, bunny tails, tillasandia/air plants, silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus, painted sword and leather leaf ferns, dusty miller, miscellaneous vines, and the star of the show: pampas grass.

Colorful Styled Shoot

Earlier this year I said I wasn’t going to do any styled shoots because I didn’t want to spend the money or invest the time into them. Fast forward 6 months to the present day, and I’ve completed two with two more on the docket. Eating my words because they are SUCH an excellent way to push yourself to design in a different style and/or use ingredients you normally wouldn’t.

We wanted something wild and colorful this time around. I am totally having a proud plant-mom moment looking back on these photos. All of the greens and vines are from my home garden. Hopefully next year I’ll have some bulb flowers and other blooms to add to my orders. Until then, I’m just going to sit back and admire how well all of these colorful flowers came together for these photos and how they are accented by my baby greens!

I N G R E D I E N T S

Jasmine vine, gardenia branches, mondo grass blossoms, lady ferns, bupleurum, yellow stock, pink and white spray roses, purple lisianthus, white peonies, and hot pink tulips.

"Into the Woods" Styled Shoot

Last month the Honeycomb team trudged into Hitchcock Woods in Aiken, SC for an afternoon of styling with Dailey Alexandra Photography and Baked by Lex. We ran around in the mud (aka horse poop) for about 3 hours while Dailey brought my floral designs to life with her gorgeous photography. Shoutout to Alexis for running around barefoot in that as our model, and to all the equestrians we confused with our 'pop up wedding' in the middle of their trails.

This day was one for the books. Whose idea was it to fashion a real-wood arch, sweetheart table and its fixings, bouquets and arrangements and lug all the supplies about a mile into the woods? Certainly not I........... (sarcasm goes here). I am oh-so-thankful my husband knocked some sense into me and talked me out of carrying our 6-seater pine dining table back there! Although that might have been selfishly motivated on his part.... hmm. Moving on.

I N G R E D I E N T S:
Sahara & spray roses, curly willow, bupleurum, brunia, scabiosa pods, dried yarrow, ruscus, wax flower, and alllll the eucalyptus you can think of (silver dollar, willow, gunny, & seeded eucs)

Moral Support: Our dear hubs that helped wherever needed. I'm sure it was just what they wanted to do ;)
