DRINKING WITH CHICKENS

CHICKENS, Featured, Flowers

Backyard chickens frolicking in lush floral table garland

This is the strike crew of my dreams y’all. It ~~might also be~~ IS the booze + lovely lady + flower + chicken-filled party of my dreams. For sure. I first discovered Kate and her amazing blog/Instagram, Drinking with Chickens, last year when I wrote this article on Apartment Therapy.

We started chatting on IG and godblesstheinternet here I am creating some flower magic in her backyard a year later. She also took that amazing photo up there.

Gorgeous cottage garden paths lined with purple flowers

Kate’s garden is ridiculous. Like fairy-tale levels of perfection #gardengoals ridiculous. And I was so lucky she agreed that I could bring along my pal Victoria Gold Photography to snag some fancy florist shots. AKA, the kind, at big events, I’m usually too sweaty/busy to ever take, let alone look at, or post again.

Just hanging with my snips and some big ol’ fried egg peonies in the garden. Like ya do.

Victoria took a bunch of florist glamour shots of me in the garden, and we did things like torture poor Pip with a flower corsage necklace. He loved it. Obviously.

So calm. So not sweaty. Just jeuging up a flower-filled table in the garden, like ya do.

Winston & Main "Adorn Yourself" acrylic sign and modern brass wrist corsages

We’ve been making these modern brass wrist corsages for our wedding clients for a while now, and just love them! See also: we love making acrylic signs! And…No more 80’s prom arms, I mean, unless you’re having an 80’s prom wedding in which case- call me! 🙂

Modern Floral Jewelry, fresh flowers on brass cuffs for a modern wedding corsage

I just love love love these little pieces of floral jewelry, because each one is totally unique. It was really fun to watch guests select the one that spoke to them.

Did I mention that I LOVE attending parties that I’ve floralized? I am consistently humbled + awed by the effect beautiful flowers have on people and feel so lucky when I get to see my #flowermagic in action.

A colorful and bohemian garden party, afternoon tea, or wedding tablescape

Are you ready for flower porn on a whole different scale though?

Koval bottles with flower adornments

Leave no surface or booze bottle unflowered. That’s what we say. After all, Kate’s blog is called Drinking with Chickens. And Koval did put the “booze” in the Boozy Garden Tea Party. And it was delicious!

Okay, maybe just one more tablescape. Is it weird that I wanna climb on that table and roll around in the flowers?

Well, maybe I’m just a little weird. 🙂
