This arrangement was absolutely beautiful. My husband sent it to me for our anniversary and weeks later (yes! WEEKS!) it was still stunning. There are flowers and there are FLOWERS. These flowers opened even more so, it was absolutely incredible to watch…

My husband bought these flowers from Charleston Flower Market on James Island (SC) near the Terrace Theater. You can walk in and buy arrangements (gorgeous). He went in to order and wrote out a card. It was extra special seeing his handwriting on the card that came along with the flowers.

If you’re in the Charleston, SC area, I highly suggest frequenting this business. A little snippet from their ABOUT page:

We aren’t your typical florist or floral shop – no carnations or mums here and none of those stiff formal triangle arrangements stuffed in plastic bowls.  What you will find is an amazing selection of seasonal cut flowers (whatever the farms are growing that are special or just beautiful). The selection and varieties change all the time so there is always something new.

The only thing Fred did was to give their stems a trim each day and put in fresh water and they lasted, and lasted. They got me through a long sickness and were beautiful to look at. Actually, the two very large hydrangeas are still in a vase and looking GORGEOUS! The lilies, oh! They smelled divine. Eventually he broke them into smaller arrangements, which I love, and placed them each room I was in. What a sweetheart!

Happy Saturday, Y’all…

💐 Until next time…
