    Tulips have been a Sunborn’s favorite for many many years. Its those long Wisconsin winters that make you have a deep appreciation for Spring. As a designer they are challenging with their chunky stems that continue to grow to the light, but they are oh so worth it.  This bouquet features our Sunborn grown Tulips, Ranunculus, and Daffodil. The first blooms to grace our gardens each year.  Sprout Studio These tiles seen in this flat lay and the stacked under the centerpiece below, were salvaged from the Ellsworth Block before their remodel. I love vintage touches to marry the old and new.  Nectar Bakery I always enjoy working with Olive…

    Being a seasonal florist is amazing. I get to use all the best most inspiring blooms that we cultivate right here on our land. However lets be honest, Wisconsin’s growing season is not the longest even with season extension in our hoop houses. Winter is long. Thankfully I spend most of my weeks talking with couples to see how I can make their flowers easy and unforgettable. This sometimes entails creating vision boards or seed planning to fit their color palettes. The only thing missing is actually creating florals. I made it till March this year, tending to my new baby and resting my sore body, then I had to…

    I went out of my comfort zone and put together my very own photoshoot this year.  I married into this flower family of mine….before I became a florist I was a fine artist. When you wanted to get your work out there you would hopefully get into a gallery.  But flowers are different. I kept seeing all the florists I admire posting photos of shoots they have done and using them for advertising and I was envious.
