A little about what's happening in our big flower world...

The (Floral) Red Zone

There is this NFL channel the husband watches called The Red Zone. Basically the channel bounces back and forth showing all the important highlights from each game. It actually drives me crazy! As soon as I get into one game, it switches to another and I can never keep up (and here I've digressed once again). Anyway, here is a little (Floral) Red Zone highlight action for what the Pollen Mill has been up to.

We provided the floral designs for this beautiful photo shoot at Vizcaya Sacramento. Photo courtesy of Liz Zimbleman Photography. Aren't these two dreamy?

And one more close-up. Gah! Photo courtesy of Liz Zimbleman Photography.

These centerpieces were created for the wonderful ladies at Backdoor Bistro to celebrate their monthly Winemaker's Dinner. We LOVE Backdoor Bistro and are so excited to watch their delicious restaurant grow into a hometown staple.

And then there was this bright backyard arch...

And this one for a wedding at The French Laundry Culinary Garden.

And this bouquet with the beautiful Brooke for a fall photo shoot with Crystal Lynn Photography, Danielle Lucas Hair, and Brooke Anderson modeling. Photo courtesy of Crystal Lynn Photography.

And these dahlias for someone special.

And then these designs for a 60th Wedding Anniversary celebration at the Westin Verasa Napa. Photo courtesy of Crystal Lynn Photography.

And these dining table centerpieces for a wedding reception at Ad Hoc in Yountville that the bees couldn't even stay away from.

Oh, Jen's blue and lavender bridal bouquet was not to be forgotten.

We celebrated the grand opening of Sweet Pea's with a pop-up floral shop.

And our designs made the cover of California Meetings & Events Magazine at Soul Food Farm with styling and Photography by Amber Johnston at My Sweetness Stylized Photography.

And plenty of pretty fall flowers went out for delivery.

And that time when Crystal Lynn Photography & The Pollen Mill joined forces to start their new design adventure Foraging Light. Follow us on Instagram @foraginglight to see what we have coming up. Hint Hint: enjoy our flowers every month through all of 2015. :)

And then there was this welcoming design for the Flourish Health Summit.

This custom terrarium in a vintage glass cage.

And we designed this entryway piece for Bouchon Bistro out of the back of the Prius. #moblieflorist

Then we took our hand in event planning & coordination, decor & staging, and full floral design for this one-of-a-kind event which included Olympic Games! Delicious catering by The Organic Countertop and furniture/tabletop rentals from Wine Country Rentals. Photo Courtesy of Alison Pfaff

And the temperature decided to drop below 80 degrees for the first time in months. So we made some more moody blooms.

And then it FINALLY rained the day we made this fluffy bridal bouquet.

Last but definitely not least, our boys nailed down a dynasty with one more World Series Win!

Is your head spinning yet? Information overload!

We are so blessed to work with so many great vendors, venues, and restaurants especially our local buddies right here in the 707.

We have much more coming up through the holidays. Keep your eyes peeled for our Thanksgiving Centerpiece Workshop and Winter Wreaths. We are booking up quickly for weddings & events in 2015. Please contact us ASAP to schedule your consult. As always, thank you for your continued support. Love Locally!

Mayday Mayday!

Really...June? What happened to May?

Well, we were caught up in so much fun in May we hardly posted any updates.

So here's our little summary...

We kicked off May with our Dear Mama: DIY Floral Design Workshop. It was such a blast playing flowers with 25 awesome ladies. Their designs were just so beautiful. I was thoroughly impressed. Cannot wait until we hold our next workshop later this summer (keep your eyes peeled for dates). Thank you again to Crystal of Crystal Lynn Photography for shooting our work and giving us photo memories to last forever. You're the best, really.

Here's a few shots of our fun. (click on images to see gallery of photos)

And then Mother's Day came and we SOLD OUT at our Pop-Up Flower Shop held at Merchant & Main. Thank you to Merchant & Main for inviting us to Pop-Up for the weekend. You guys rock and took such great care of us! And a huge thank you to all our loyal customers for coming out and buying your mamas our pretty little designs!

Then we spent a few days in the woods trying to recover with this cutie patootie making ivy crowns, chasing banana slugs, and a whole bunch of hammocking.

Oh and then we partnered up with my sister and brother's company Graphic Expression to enter the Vacaville Fiesta Days Window Display Competition. And we took first place!


And in the middle of it all, we somehow designed and delivered these floral beauties....

So May, you came in hot and you went out sizzling. We are embracing June (the kick-off our wedding season) with wide open arms and look forward to telling you about a few of our exciting new business ventures. Bring it June!
