make it happen monday





did you all have a wonderful weekend?

i had an amazing and very family oriented weekend. my parents drove up from connecticut on saturday and took mark and me out to dinner. it was the first time they met and i'll admit i was nervous, but it couldn't have gone any better! then on sunday i was invited to mark's 'family dinner' at his parent's house.

i wanted to make an arrangement to bring along, so i stopped by the flower market and picked up baby green hydrangeas, cabbage, tiger lilies, orange calla lilies and liatras. i'm really liking how this beauty turned out... fall-ish, bright, mix of modern, classic and wild blooms.

  1. My goodness, loveliness. Especially love the contrast of the vibrance against the rough wood. Wish I had a family member that casually brought gorgeousness along!

  3. You've got some serious floral skills lady...your arrangement is so pretty! I'm sure Mark's parents were thrilled :) (My boyfriend is sitting next to me as I read and he saw your flowers and said, "Aw, Pretty!" See? Boyfriend approved.)
