The Perfect Thing To Be Researching Now

I am so excited! I have been asked to design the tablescapes and flowers for a friend's wedding this April~ I can't wait! And I have to say that there is nothing better to be researching than flowers on these cold, dreary days of February.  It has been a little breath of fresh air to be taking in all these beautiful pictures of colorful blooms and pretty tables as I generate ideas for the event. Tomorrow I am venturing to the wholesale flower market and plan on sticking my nose deep in every fragrant blossom. What a mood elevator that should be!

I will keep you posted as things come together.....know you probably could use a big bouquet right about now too!

Around The Garden (Bermuda Style)

Well, my husband found out that taking a stroll with me in Bermuda can take a while....

There are just so many gorgeous blooms EVERYWHERE, and I wanted to be sure to get some good shots of them to take home.

SO...he was very patient, and took pictures of ME as I stopped every 10 feet or so to take another picture.

The resort where we stayed, Cambridge Beaches, was so breathtakingly beautiful it wasn't hard to find lovely things to snap a picture of.

There were bees at work...

delicate blooms swaying in the breeze...

and flowers in saturated colors that were so well paired with the buildings they were planted next to that it was truly a feast for your eyes ...

Gorgeous. 

All the while, if you just turn your head, nine times outta ten you will see water that looks like this:

I am kind of amazed that we were able to remain conscious.

AND, as if all this beauty wasn't enough, Mother Nature just had to throw in another delight....

a RAINBOW.

I have to say that winter in Philadelphia is going to seem especially hard this year.....
