Happy New Year! I recently had the opportunity to share a little bit (okay, a lot!) about my journey as an entrepreneur and wedding florist in Voyage Baltimore. I’ve included some excerpts from the article below. I hope you enjoy reading! –Mallory Barbara O Photography My First Floral Job: I got my start in the floral design world in my mid-twenties. I was a graduate student at Hollins University, in a rural part of Virginia with few jobs available, and for money I found myself working in the floral department of a Kroger grocery store while completing my MFA in creative writing. Taking the Le ..read more

Reflecting on a wonderful year, I will have much to share about 2019’s weddings and other adventures; today I wanted to start by sharing some of my favorite cake designs. This year it hit me how much I love decorating cakes and it has actually become one of my favorite parts of designing wedding flowers. Rather than an afterthought (a rose here, a rose there, some eucalyptus here) cake flowers can be an easy opportunity to add beauty, color, and fun to one of the best parts of your wedding reception. I’m excited to share a little more about cakes I decorated this year, and what was involved i ..read more

Elise is a friend of mine from graduate school, and I was so excited to contribute flowers for her wedding to Travis. Because I know Elise it feels a little odd to jot down a glib synopsis of her wedding day: when I think about their beautiful relationship, and the joy of celebrating with them on their wedding day in March, I am still moved. When someone you care about chooses to spend their life with another person who loves them ..read more

By Katherine Elizabeth Photography   Today on the blog, I wanted to share a little more about the core values of Violet Floral Designs. This last week of June (Pride Month) also happens to be American Flowers Week, so it feels like a very appropriate time! So, if you will, here is our little manifesto: VINTAGE VIBES: While the floral designs for your wedding should feel unique and fresh, we want everything that goes out the door to feel timeless and romantic, too. Whether it’s a creamy garden rose that’s opening perfectly, a piece of lace from your mother’s wedding dress wrapped around yo ..read more
