The bride and groom both being such dear friends of mine made this day beyond magical. Larin and Thomas fully trusted me with their special day and gave me full creative freedom. I enjoyed having these liberties and chose flowers matching their personalities. Roses, symbolize deep love, completion, and perfection. There are no better words to describe the relationship between these two. Some of Larin and Thomas' family members are gardeners so they speak my language and I loved discussing with them some flowers that I had grown at sunflower Hill farm, and added into the arrangements. Mexican top hat (a Missouri native) as well as Rudbeckia and Echinacea were some featured florals that I harvested at Sunflower Hill Farm and with great caution, drove down to Chattanooga. One of my favorite florals to add to any piece, Scabiosa seed pods, which despite being the seed to the Scabiosa flower, captures full attention all on their own.

I am so thankful I got to speak my love language of flowers to two of my dearest friends on their wedding day.
