That's a wrap for 2022!~ Looking forward to many Forrester Farm floral filled events in 2023!~

2022 held so many changes for our family. We sold our home of 23.5 years and on Saint Patrick's Day we officially moved to a farmhouse that was built by Irish immigrants in 1860. Though we immensely miss our neighbors, property, creek and our sweet little mini horses & chickens from our former home, we now enjoy beautiful lake frontage, a full time flowing creek and even a pond at the far end of our property all on more acreage. A huge blessing in so many ways!~

As we have been working hard to make our new to us home and property feel more like "home", Forrester Farm continued with business as usual, and the year was filled with so many wonderful clients, weddings and events. Though our garden area at the new house is currently smaller than what we had, for the first year in we still had beautiful blooms that brightened the yard and graced a few tables. 

We love featuring professionally taken photos following our weddings and events, but as Forrester Farm (established in 2000) begins a fresh new year in 2023, I decided to feature 23 behind the scenes Forrester Farm snapshots from this past year. 

My camera is filled with family, floral, lake and home remodeling photos, so picking just a few floral photos to share was no small task. It is always interesting to see what takes up your time and attention as you scroll through the photos of the past year!~ 

A huge thank you so all of our clients who have continued to trust us with their special events and floral needs!~ Cheers to year 23 of Forrester Farm!~

  Cheers and Blessings to you as you begin 2023!~

Bridal Brunch - Celebrating your Special Day with Friends

Wedding Days are so very special, and spending time with your close friends leading up to the wedding makes for wonderful memories that can last a lifetime. 

When Sheila from Copper & Lace contacted me about being a part of this fun Bridal Brunch shoot, I said yes without hesitation. All the fun moments leading up to a wedding day should be cherished and documented. I loved this theme and was excited to work with all of the vendors involved. 

Frugthaven Farm was the perfect setting for a fun bridal brunch with all of the special touches that were added in with the Copper & Lace rentals and Forrester Farm flowers.

Having Happy Bar Services bring their Tickled Tin vintage camper bar on site was such a treat - and the mimosa that was poured and enjoyed was simply delicious!

  Whether you are planning for your wedding day or for the many fun celebrations with friends and family leading up to your special day, adding in the special touches with ambiance, food and drink will just add to the amazing memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.

A huge shout out to all of the vendors to participated to make this possible:
