About Me

I am a very close friend of Donn Flipse, Jen Stabile and other associates of Field of Flowers, based in Davie Florida. I share with them a love of flowers and plants, the business of selling them, and a desire to learn more about them. Via my blog I hope to find other people of similar interests and provide them with interesting and entertaining information.

Couple Ties the Knot in Coral Gables


We got the chance to work with a flashy, fun bride and groom this past October the 1st! Josie and Joe’s color choices of mostly rich reds and brilliant blues were eye popping and a refreshing break from the traditional. Thanks for letting us be a part of your wedding!


Special Thanks to Marilyn of Marilyn Garcia Photography for sharing a few of her photos with us from this wedding. You can see more of Marilyn’s work on her site

Wedding Flowers at the W Fort Lauderdale

Lush Celebrations at Field of Flowers (Davie, FL) was thrilled to be a part of Anna and Yomi's special day for their September 30th, 2011 destination wedding at the super classy W Hotel on Fort Lauderdale beach. Anna decided on a paper lantern theme with dark blues, aqua and the slightest hint of hot pink accents. Our designers created beautiful wedding flower arrangements full of orchids, calla lilies and roses to fit the elegant theme. They held their intimate wedding ceremony on a terrace overlooking the ocean and then hit the sand for what will no doubt be some gorgeous photos! Congratulations, Anna & Yomi! And for others considering a destination wedding, we definitely recommend the W Fort Lauderdale.
