pete and i did a small wedding this past weekend up in the boston area.  i love late summer flowers and the highlight was being able to use flowers grown by grace at fivefork farms.  her flowers are a must when i'm doing events in the boston area.

a pair of bridesmaids' bouquets 
we opted not to have table centerpieces given the family-style nature of the dinner and went with a few tall arrangements -- one by the entrance and another by the photo booth.  yup and all those amaranths (the gold and the green hanging dreadlocks) were from fivefork.



and finally congrats, p+v!

persian zinnias

arrangement of dahlias, orange cockscomb, persian zinnias, blackberries and grasses

i'm infatuated with summer flowers this year, more so than before.  and while i'm away from the garden this weekend, i've managed to fill my time with flowers from the river garden at the union square farmers market.

the garden is humming along.  wish i had some pictures to show you (i'm too embarrassed of how i looked in the most recent pictures that pete took -- it was early and i was tired and hell bent on picking and tossing japanese beetles into soapy water).  we're heading up there next weekend and fingers-crossed that a few dahlias will be in bloom.
