This is Kindryn, the Floral Guru here at the Cutting Garden


She created these fun buffet table decorations in an 8 ounce mason jar


Kindryn made these boutonnieres from fresh roses and our lavender - ribbon wrapped stems


And the Bridal Bouquet for Teresa; everything from the Cutting Garden except the roses and the stephanotis!

Teresa's wedding flowers






Kindryn, the floral guru here at the Cutting Garden arranged the pink and lavender flowers we cut on Thursday. We bought roses and stephanotis to complete these lovely arrangements and even enjoyed using some of the peonies we had dry packed in the refrigerator a month earlier.





This is a petite centerpiece














Here is one of the corsages























The Maid of Honor carried darker purples and pinks



















The Groom's boutonniere was very handsome

We met Lanaya at the Sequim Open Aire Market yesterday; her favorite color is pink, so we shared a little Alstromeria with her and she gave us the gift of her adorable smile!

Danielle Sherry of Fine Gardening Magazine shot hundreds of photos of our gardens for
a 2010 article about creating and maintaining a Cutting Garden.

She is a fun and sweet natured as she can be and Tom and I look forward to working on the article with her!

A Friend in need is a friend in deed!

Our neighbor Kevin came to our rescue when we had 200 wedding guests arriving and no Sani-Can had been delivered....Thank you Kevin! I guess this makes him a member of the bucket brigade!
