summer time / wedding season

It hasn't really felt like summer yet here in Portland... waiting on the sunshine...

But the local flowers are plentiful. And the wedding love is abundant.

Well hello its been a while

Summer came in with a HOT BANG.  All the flowers were a bit confused and early. But we're making the best of it and celebrating all the local everyday flower love.

And having all the fun with the wedding flower love

cheers!

Hello Summer!

Wow time has been flying, in the most joyous way of course!

 The growing season is just starting to swing into summer flowers, woohoo! We've been working with some wonderful new local farmers this year as well as our old favorites ;)
 

Emerald Petals is proud to be a member of Slow Flowers.  Which is a nationwide online directory of florists, flower growers, studios, and shops who design with American grown flowers.  It's pretty frickin cool. 

Oh ya baby! Wedding season is here. 
Some peeks of a few so far...
and a lovely little message and photo I received the day after one of the weddings.
"- I just wanted to send you a quick note to say how much I adored our flowers. My bouquet was stunning. It was exactly what I wanted. Thank you for your fabulous work!--Megan" 

 

Cheers!

Well it's the middle of August, can you believe it?  I just completed one of the busiest wedding weekends I've ever had the pleasure of taking on.  Four unique, fabulously sweet couples, and some rad mothers of the brides.

Thank the heavens for my fantastic team of helpers, YOU ROCKed it!

Thank you for understanding.
