in the shop

just added a few more of matt's log dishes to the shop.

real wedding: sachiko and john

we created the flowers for s and j at the amazing carneros inn a few weeks ago. the weather was amazing and you can't go wrong at this location- it was a beautiful day! the couple live in japan so we figured everything out by email with lots of photo exchanges. the bride wanted elegant, but playful- incorporating lots of herbs and fruit along with succulents. we made the tables a mixture of white/green, yellow/green, and pink/orange/green. and yellow tree peonies just happened to be around so...

calendar is here!!!

so excited to put our calendar in the shop- it came out great! we only made fifty so get em while they're hot. lots of people have asked for prints of our photos so we thought this would be a fun way to do it. it measures about 11 x 6 inches and each month is on a separate card. plus you get a bonus image of bernie on the front- that alone is worth a lot. get it in the small stump shop or on etsy or see it in person at prairie collective.
