Today is day #5 and we had a huge breakthrough this morning. He actually hoped onto my arm and visited me for over 30 min. Then hunger kicked in. Good morning everyone.

Love these lush centerpieces on top of one of our rental Harlow stands. Love the combination of flowers in these tall centerpieces.

If you ever have a hydrangea that wilts on you, I have an easy fix. The reason it has wilted is because it was not properly hydrated in the first place after it was first cut. I use a chemical called quick dip. I dip the stem before placing it in any arrangement. It's just like a Christmas tree. You have to always give it a fresh cut right before you put it in it's stand. That is because the tree is trying to save itself by sealing over the cut area to not allow any moisture to escape. That chemical stops that process with hydrangea as well. The fix, simply submerge the entire stem underwater for 24 hours. Give it a fresh cut after shaking out the excess water and you will be good to go. I showed in the pictures a wilted hydrangea and the same hydrangea the next morning. Hope that helps.

Love this large piece created and placed on one of our rental cylinder vases filled with bark, giving the container the feel of an actual tree. I used some blooming quince in this piece to further the feel of an actual tree. This was for the first open house of The Vault, 1891. Beautiful newer venue in Thurmont.

Love this tropical inspired standing spray for a celebration of life ceremony.

Love this wedding set up from this past May, 2026. We lined the aisle with the reception centerpieces and repurposed them during the cocktail hour. This is a great way to repurpose your flowers to give you more drama throughout your event. Those pieces went from the aisle to be placed atop one of our rental containers, giving it a completely different look for the reception. FYI, we had nothing to do with that random piece of fabric hanging.

Love this large and lush buffet piece for an outside wedding. We used our rental sugarcone vase and topped it with an arrangement of mostly whites with hints of fall colors.
