Chicks & Roses

It's spring at Forrester Farm, which means that new baby chicks are sharing our work space until they are a little bit older and able to be outside.  These little ones are named Betty, Chip & Winston. 

This past weekend, we were blessed to provide flowers for two different weddings.  Taking pictures of the chicks took place in the midst of design work. (They really didn't want to pose). One wedding consisted of tulips and calla lilies, the other, roses and oriental lilies.

Happy Spring!~

Happy Friday!

It has been a full week, full of flowers, meetings, bridal quotes and... more snow!  Though it is lovely and looks amazing on our chicken coop, it is time for it to go.  I promise, we won't complain if it gets stifling hot this summer!

 

This week I got an order for a special arrangement celebrating the life of a 96 year old woman.  

 

There were just a few blooms left, so I put together a little something to be used at our "bring on spring" dinner with friends tonight...

Though I used pussy willow branches for these arrangements, I also love using flowering quince at this time of the year.  The following photo was taken at the GRunveiled bridal show that we participated in a few years ago.

Soon, this Michigan snow will melt and we'll be hearing more birds sing while breathing deep of sunshine, warmth and flowers once again.  This photo compliments of one of our sweet June 2013 Forrester Farm brides.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the moments!
