The amazing Amy Conrad brought us this glorious festival of color and texture today as a sneak peek for a bride to be. A picture cannot do it justice. We love all the wedding classics-roses, hydrangea, peonies, callas-but the introduction of seasonal blooms & foliages to a palette really gives a wedding a sense of time and place. We are so lucky to have vendors like Amy who keep our studio stocked with an ever expanding list of flower faves and who push our design boundaries with exciting new finds. It’s our goal to make every walk down the aisle a unique, custom experience for our clients. Flower friends like Amy make those “walks” even more beautiful. #englishgardenraleigh #lovethepeopleyouworkwith #raleigh #flowerfun #NCgrown #bucketlist #purple #lavender #spring #instabloom #flowerstagram #NCweddings #raleighweddings #raleighflorist #bloom #weddings #flowergirlnc (at The English Garden Florist of Raleigh) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5nJDwnYQr/?igshid=1xu0yu9n512qc

Our upcoming workshop Spring Herb Wreaths at Porches Cafe will feature two fantastic #ncgrown lavender varieties. 💜Lavender John of Carolina Lavender has a passion for lavender and all you need is one conversation to know it. Located in Gastonia, the farm grows several varieties of lavender and produces lavender-based products such as essential lavender oil, lavender lotions, lavender-infused honey and more. Lavender blooming season is just getting underway and the farm will begin opening to visitors wishing to walk the fields and shop the farm store this week.

It’s Mother’s Day week and at EG we are making the whole week a garden party! Starting with this fabulous bouquet by Natalie featuring an artful blending of locally grown product in a petite bubble bowl. Featuring a range of purples, whites & greens this sweet design speaks to the love of gardening that Natalie shares with her mom Tracy. We met Natalie through our friendship with Bland Landscaping & Burkett Farm. She worked with the farm several years before recently deciding to focus on her flower design career. We miss her delivering flowers to us but are so thrilled that she’s now sharing her design talents with us at EG! Tracy, her mom, is a gifted designer & gardener who has raised an incredible young woman committed to making the world a better & prettier place one bouquet at a time. You can find The Garden Party and lots of other fun designs at englishgardenraleigh.com. #gardenparty #ncgrown #mothersday #lovethepeopleyouworkwith #mom #gardening #flowerpower #flowerstagram #instabloom #englishgardenraleigh #raleighflorist https://www.instagram.com/p/BxOUKofnctC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wsdnjdp3wbwv

One thing I love about tulips is that they will continue to grow and reach toward light even after they are cut. Kind of a fitting floral analogy for getting through a work week-stretching, reaching moving to make it over the “hump” and make it to the weekend. These fabulous green & purple variegated parrot tulips from our wonderful friends at Burkett Farm are that perfect midweek inspiration. #local #NCgrown #slowflowers #locallygrown #shoplocal #shoplocalraleigh #wednesday #humpday #wednesdaywisdom #raleighflorist #raleighflowers #ncflorist #raleigh #nc #englishgarden #tulip #coolflowers #flowerfun #flowergirlnc #raleighflowershop #flowerdesign #sendflowers (at The English Garden Florist of Raleigh)
