…the story of our summer harvest table… As the spinach grew and grew, draping along garden the path, I envisioned it draping around candlesticks… as baskets filled with vibrant red, orange and yellow tomatoes, and the green cucumbers and beans spilled onto the hands that harvested them… as the physalis and grapes burst with the…
Floral Inspiration :: A Pop of Pink
The garden is a love song, a duet between a human being and Mother Nature. – Jeff Cox I love and much prefer to work within the rhythm of each season. When garden blooms are lush with textures and pretty petals, it’s hard not to feel inspired at every moment. The natural world is…
Winter Florals…Romanticizing Dried Stems & Simple Details
It has been one of the snowiest winters here in New Jersey, and despite trying to stay creative, lighting all the candles, sketching and keepings things simple — I’m feeling the winter lull. Just as we finally saw the green tips of grass and the garden unearthed after far too long, came another massive blanket…
Holiday Fireplace Styled w. Foraged Stems & Handmade Details
When the amazing and kindhearted Angela wanted to work together again for her holiday photo sessions, I immediately asked what day and time should I be there. It’s such a rewarding and pleasant experience when working with creatives who “get” one another and each other’s style and aesthetic — things flow organically. And an organic,…
The Season of Styled Quinces and Texture
Autumn is the crisp morning air and golden sun that lingers with remnants of warmth. It’s the rustle of leaves as they float off branches and crunch beneath our feet. Autumn beckons us indoors, where we are drawn to the quiet rituals that fill these months. To the flicker of candlelight and nestling under knit…
A Thanksgiving Table Rich in Autumn Browns
I‘ve always loved the color brown, and any shade of it. It’s immensely rich, yet soothing. Versatile with endless hues that are deeply intricate and complex. Long before it was trending or named the color of the year, I have always been constantly inspired this beautiful color rooted in nature. Seen in the trees, drying…
Designing Florals with Fruits
As the sun grows shorter and afternoons leisurely stretch into golden evenings, somewhere between the refreshing bites of sweet watermelon, tomatoes and the morning quiet…we find ourselves settled into the rhythm of summer. A season where life is meant to be felt, where we embrace the simple things, and nurturing the vibrant abundance in our…
Summer Centerpieces :: Zinnias & Sunflowers
There’s nothing quite like the kaleidoscope of summer Zinnias, with their magical frills and voluminous thrills. And if there was a flower to epitomize summer, it might just be the Sunflower. Grand and prominent, and as golden as the sun. The days may ever-so slowly be shortening, as we enter the last long stretch of…
A Dinner Party Inspired by Portugal’s Festive Month of June
They say it’s Sardine summer, and well, that gives me a chuckle. If Portuguese, then sardine summer is every year, it’s our way of life. We’re born with the notion that summers revolve around grilled sardines. And come June the air is perfumed with the land and sea. The scents of grilled sardines, peppers and…
In Bloom :: Contemporary Summer Centerpieces
As creatives we all go through our own style seasons. Ones where we’re inspired and drawn more so to a particular aesthetic, flower, technique or color. And last summer was that for me, where I was in an “organic contemporary” phase with the intention of honing in on other floral design skills. I naturally created…
