I can’t believe it is already August! Floral friends, time just won’t stand still. I had a busy spring with events and floral design classes (hence, no blog posts). July and August can be quiet for floral designers since many couples prefer not to get married outside in the summer heat. For those couples that do decide to wed in summer, when choosing flowers they often pick the “queen” flower, or the beautiful dahlia.

Kaitlynn and David were married on a gorgeous Saturday in August. The venue was Fleetwood Farm Winery in Leesburg VA. Fleetwood Farm is a spectacular venue with some of the most beautiful scenery in the area. I am always excited when I meet a couple that will be getting married there because I know it will be simply gorgeous. Kaitlynn was a very relaxed bride to be, and so easy to talk to from the very beginning.

By now, many couples planning to marry in 2020 have been affected by COVID-19. Certainly, if you were planning an April-June wedding you have likely rescheduled to late summer, fall or possibly even 2021.
