How to Arrange Flowers at Home (Like a Florist, But Chill)
You don’t need a flower cooler or an armful of imported stems to make something beautiful. Some of our favorite arrangements come from casual clippings—on a walk, from a wild patch in the yard, or snipped from whatever’s blooming outside your door.
It’s less about perfection and more about intention. Here’s how to make simple flowers look artful, sculptural, and effortless in your home—no design degree required.
Let Nature Set the Date: A Guide to Seasonal Wedding Flowers
Have you ever bitten into a mealy apple in March? It’s technically still an apple—but it’s disappointing. Or maybe you’ve rushed to the farmers market in April, hoping for strawberries, only to find they’re pale and watery, not quite ready. That’s the thing about nature: you can’t fake her timing. And when it comes to flowers, the same rules apply.
At Flora Good Times, we work seasonally—because that’s when flowers are at their most vibrant, fragrant, and alive. We think your wedding should be the same.
Early Spring in the Valley
March in the Hudson Valley is a weird in-between. We’re not deep winter anymore, but we’re not in bloom either. It’s mud, thaw, wind, and the first sharp hints of green.
This is the season of waiting—but also of prepping, planning, and watching closely.
