California State of Mind

Today is our last full day out west, wrapping things up in San Fran. Feeling bohemian while soaking up this sunshine.

Dahlia Flower Crown

Dahlias are in full bloom and we try to incorporate them as much as possible. We only get a few short months with these beauties so why not? Yesterday, I took a break from emails by making one of these - I think everyone in the DC area need a little pick-me-up :/

Let's all make today a little brighter. 

Flower Crowns - They're Not Just for Kids

As a kid I remember making flower crowns out of wild daisies during summer days, trying to keep myself occupied. Back then I didn't have floral wire, tape, or any other tools. We'd literally pierce the stem with our nails and weave a crown. Now as an adult, I not only still rock them but I also love when my clients request them (flower girls, BMs or even the bride!!). They are the perfect bohemian or whimsical addition to any event.

A few weeks back one of my ultra cool bride rocked one for her rehearsal dinner. I can't wait to see pix of her wearing, but in the meantime here's our intern Beth working it as a model:

And a big thanks to Coachella for making flower crowns cool again (not really). 

Later Today....

Check United With Love later today for a very simple, pretty, and fun shoot we did with the Paired Images ladies just two weeks ago...taking advantage of the season. Here's a tiny sneak peek of what you'll see:

And oh yea...yesterday was insane so no post about the outdoor spaces but it's coming next week :)
