a closer look.... and maybe words some souls long to hear...⠀⠀
⠀⠀
“I have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I did not want to take. Forgive me, O Gracious One; for I have been closing my ears and eyes for too long. I have learned that miracles are only called miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through all of life's illusions. I am ready to see what really exists on other side, what exists behind the blinds, and taste all the ugly fruit instead of all that looks right, plump and ripe.”⠀⠀

i’ve been trying to think up a clever phrase or two about the this image... is it the sea... the bouquet, her wind swept hair...? truth be told it’s all about the girl. this young lady knew what she wanted from the moment we spoke, happily listened to my design direction, eagerly confessed her aspiration to become a floral designer while i got all giddy and excited for her... followed up with a hand painted + handwritten thank you note... {yes i did say hand written}. she noticed every last detail infused into her wedding flowers, and expressed as much. this phrase sums up my experience with Mariah... “future floral designer” yes, Mrs. Lewis... for it is more than vision that casts the spell, it’s appreciation for the small stuff; like eye contact, listening, trust, and gratitude. thank you for being my client this year. you did as much for me as your flowers did for you on your wedding day. ⠀

Who are the men that you love this day? Mine are my devoted husband Dan, my son Brom, my step-dad Tom and my nephews, Jack, Roger, Nick and little Jackson to name a few. May you all know how much you are valued as the boys that you are at heart, and the men you either are, or will be someday. ⠀

Vows... oaths... ⠀
words have power... of connection. Kisses, bonds of touch; couples anchored to the other,⠀
their words of commitment tether them. Heed such sacred bonds. It is up to us, as their invited guests, their community, to be standing for them. ⠀

friends toast your successes, dig deeper and reach into whatever trench you find yourself in, remind you how far you’ve come... ⠀
⠀
...host parties with you, hold space for your inevitable greatness, hold you accountable, text you, call you, forgive you, STAND BY YOU whatever the consequences or the color of the dress...⠀
⠀
...here’s to all the dress colors they wore and bouquets they have held...here’s to Maids of Honor & Bridesmaids that agree even before they know what they are agreeing to, surpass their friend’s expectations as attendants, and flower the day more profusely with their smiles than any bouquet i could ever create! ⠀

I haven’t been posting much due to our floral studio relocation and that i love being with each image and to put thought into the chosen quotes...⠀
⠀
it has seemed like there’s been very little time for that, for being, and i have been all about the doing of things these last several months... ⠀
⠀
...things like studio display merchandising, styling weddings, getting my son ready for the school year....⠀
⠀
i’m returning slowly to the be do have direction rather than do. do. do. in order to....⠀
⠀
being with this image i am reminded of the sweet family that cared so genuinely about their daughter’s vision and how honored i felt that they trusted me to deliver it. ⠀
⠀
i’m reminded that the act of be-ing with my clients is my greatest charge, and that it is they who drive the direction of the design while it is I who “holds space” for it to come to life. i am reminded that there is room in the spaces between us, and we don’t have to fill it for the distance to be beautiful. i am reminded to choose wonder. always choose wonder....⠀
⠀
for wonder lives in the space between being and doing and the distance from here to there. ⠀
⠀
always impeccable images @bryanmillerphoto⠀
