This year’s First Lady’s Luncheon was the latest inspiration for designing with all American Grown Flowers. Farms from across the country shipped over 18,000 stems of gorgeous American Grown Flowers to a team of over 20 volunteer floral designers led by Kelly Shore of Petals by the Shore , Christy Hulsey of The Colonial House of Flowers and Margaret Lloyd of Margret Joan Florals . The Certified American Grown program for the second year in a row sponsored this iconic Washington, D.C., event. An annual bipartisan tradition hosted by the Congressional Club since 1912 to honor the first lady of the United States, the luncheon was attended by a record 2,100 people, including Congressional spouses, associates of members of Congress and cabinet members. During this year’s luncheon, I had the pleasure to meet and speak with the first lady and to encourage the White House to adopt an all American Grown Flower policy. My request was reiterated by the Congressional Club’s Luncheon Chair who ...

Bridal clutch bag decorated with fresh white lisianthus, freesia, bouvardia and agapanthus with a little silver senecio leaf. Angela chose to carry this as a very elegant alternative to the more traditional bouquet. The satin bag is her own and the delicate floral design is held in place by magnets. The men wore simple buttonholes of white lisianthus flowers with eucalyptus and the ladies had co-ordinating designs with added bouvardia and agapanthus.

This month we're honoring moms by featuring some very special bouquets... bouquets we think give new meaning to our flowers. These gorgeously colorful bouquets are created everyday right in the fields. Often hidden creations that tell a story of life in the fields and the seasonality of each harvest. These amazing 'Field Bouquets' as we call them are not often seen, they're crafted quickly and... it's on to the next one. Usually, there's little time to appreciate their beauty. And so, as a tribute to moms we're sharing of some of our favorite field creations. We love the idea of sending a special message about life in the fields through our blooms. Happy Mother's Day!

Ten fabulous photos featuring images by Pasadena’s Muir Ranch Director, Mud Baron , whose fun and unusual floral crowns were all the rage at Coachella 2017. This year, festival-goers who made the pilgrimage to Indio came equipped with festival staples—crop tops, mesh, denim, flowers and a bohemian attitude—demonstrating why Coachella has a reputation as the ancestral homeland of the festival look. There’s no doubt Mud’s floral crowns were an opportune ‘new’ fashion accessory at the festival!

Melanie's stunning tear drop bouquet in yellows and blues using lemon and yellow roses, white hyacinths, blue forget-me-not and delphinium, yellow freesias and solidago with cream lisianthus and jasmine trails.
