THE POTTED PANSY

It’s been far too long since a good weird shoot. Weird in a good way obviously. It’s funny...my florist friends laugh because we say they do beautiful and pretty and I do funky and wild. But I’ll claim funky and wild any day! ⠀

Crave the Imperfect. ⠀⠀
It's often the imperfections that make this bloom or that stem, exactly the reason we admire and select it. The twisty turns rather than the straight stem. The discolored petal edges bringing in 2-3 color shades for a beautiful palette. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
And it's the imperfections in life that make us who we are. Maybe it's your goofy laugh or your silly chatter that make friends admire you. Or maybe it's your quiet nature that pulls people in and makes them want to be near you. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
So crave the imperfect and don't hide from it. Embrace those twisty stems and the aged petals. And happy Friday!⠀⠀

Sometimes we overthink things and get caught up in the minimally important aspects of life, and that includes weddings. Sometimes what we really need is to step back and feel the peace that comes from letting go. Letting go of the mundane, the silly, the stupid. Letting go of the frustration and the heartbreak and the worry. Letting go of the less important to open space for the most important. ⠀

#tiptuesday just use seasonal flowers!!!! Tell your florist that you want a general color range and let her run with the flower selection itself. Then you’ll get this. Need I say more?!⠀

Hillary, I cannot wait for your wedding day and am giddy over this!!! ⠀

Mother’s Day brings a mix of jumbled emotions for me. We’ve always been church-goers but during the first few years of our infertility journey I simply found it too painful to attend on days like today. I’d invent reasons to stay home instead. Then, there were years I just flat out said I couldn’t do it. So I stayed home then too. I was angry, disappointed, frustrated, and didn’t understand why God wouldn’t allow us to have children and in essence, why He didn’t trust me. ⠀
⠀
Fast forward almost 9 years and we have two beautiful daughters. We are some of the “lucky” ones, who had a successful IVF cycle and twin girls as a result. ⠀
⠀
In between that time and now we tried again, more than once, and finally after miscarrying twins, I pled with God, to at least be at peace and be able to move on no matter the outcome of our final cycle. And I did. Our last cycle failed but I knew that God was aware of us. I still don’t understand the why behind it all, but I don’t need to. At least not right now. ⠀
⠀
Today my heart goes out to all those in the middle. All those trying so desperately and wanting it so badly. And I quietly hold my two littles close, knowing they are miracle babies and praying that someone else will get a miracle baby too. ⠀

Give me all the dry. All the desert. All the cracked and weathered and worn. Give me all the rough. And I'll mix it with the soft, the subtle, the sweet, and the simple. That's the beauty of texture. (Coming soon to @thebridaltheory)
