Petals and Blooms


Lately, I have become obsessed with flowers. I cannot get enough, I always want them around me and I want to wear them. As I am sitting at work, it makes the day much brighter to know that I have a beautiful light lavender stock looking back at me. It is so hard being an adult....you don't get a spring break anymore, summer break, and you realize the little things that help you get through the day...for me, it's flowers!

In downtown Chattanooga, we have this little market-like flower shop called The Daily Flower. The idea is nothing short of perfect: Walk in, pick out your beautiful steams, and make what you love yours. Nothing is ever the same, generic, or over done. It's become a new love for me. I go on my lunch break quite a bit. The staff is so friendly and helpful, they get excited about what you are getting too! I can't stop filling up my home and my desk with flowers. I also love being at the park and seeing their wagon go by with beautiful bouquets of flowers. It is uplifting, always brings a smile to my face, and is so festively seasonal!

I have recently decided that the mix of a bloom and a branch makes for a beautiful center piece as well as making a room that much more welcoming and cozy. I must say the red bud (which is actually lavender) has become my favorite! Daniels parents have them all over their property and now having the idea to put them in a vase sets me over the moon!

There is nothing better than being able to go around your yard and put arrangements together. I threw a couples shower for some dear friends and since I had no time to run to the market, my sweet dad went around the yard and put these together. He told me to never tell anyone or he would kill me...but they are too beautiful not to share!
