Spent the afternoon photographing in her home garden.
The garden where most of her flowers and plants come from that she uses in any work project. If it’s not found in her own garden, she sources beautiful local flowers from magical places like in Brewster.
No shipping in flowers from other countries. No using florals that aren’t in season (sorry October brides, you’re not getting peonies with Kate) but I think that’s what makes her work so magical.
It’s local. It’s in season. It’s authentic. You know the persons hands that have tenderly taken care of each flower you see.
Some other things to mention about Kate and her small but mighty farm:
🍺she grows the begonias used in begonia beer!
☕️she’s responsible for the beautiful installations at my fav coffee shop
🌿she includes fresh herbs in every bouquet so when you smell it, it helps you relax on your wedding day
🎀she hand dyes all the silk ribbon wrapped around each bouquet with natural dye she makes from the flowers in her garden 🤯🤯
🤗plus she’s just incredibly kind and someone you could talk to for hours (I know, I did it today)
Thanks Kate for sharing your lovely space with me this afternoon❤️
