At the end of September I was honored to participate in the Knot Industry Networking Party. It was held at the beautiful Waldenwoods in Hartland, Michigan. I had a blast working with some of my favorite vendors, and a few new vendors too! Erika Piquant at Eco-Posh Events planned the party. Lorrie at Special Occasions provided the beautiful linens. And one of my favorite photographers, Tamara at Silver Thumb Photography, documented the day.
The flowers in the tent were my favorite part of the event. I used smoke bush, tweedia, dusty miller, seeded eucalyptus, and bupleurum in low wooden boxes for the centerpieces. The centerpieces were accented with lace and silk wrapped votives, and set off with a pale blue pin-tuck runner from Special Occasions. Hanging above the tables were wreaths of smoke bush.
Inside, I made a few buffet table arrangements with variegated alocasia leaves, succulents and moss.
The cocktail tables were dressed with small boxes of wheatgrass, silk wrapped votives, and more beautiful pin-tuck linens from Special Occasions.

Garden Cascade
Here’s a sweet hand-tied cascade that I made up in October and forgot to share. It has blush nerine lilies, agonis, baby blue eucalyptus, seeded eucalyptus, and green leucadendron.
