Romantic Winter Wedding at Hughe's Manor

It's taken an embarrasingly long time to post about the weddings that I've gotten to be a part of this year— nonetheless, here we are sharing with you a wedding from February. From here on out, I'll be doing my best to post more promptly, so we'll see:-)

The perfect setting for a wedding the weekend after Valentine's Day, Hughe's Manor in the Washington, Heights District in Houston, Texas. The combination of modern and industrial with a chic and romantic vibe, I was a fan.

Becoming Mr. + Mrs. Winkelmann

I'll admit, I'm prone to using hyperboles in my everyday talk. A lot of my sentences sound like, "that's the (enter extreme adjective) I've ever seen in my whole entire life!" or "I'm starving," etc. Usually of which, I don't mean to be taken literally, obviously.

But believe me when I say this, March 4, 2018 was truly the best day of my life. Marrying my best friend surrounded by the best group of people was the sweetest gift from the Lord. It's hard to believe that we've been Mr. and Mrs. Winkelmann for over a month (!!!) so I felt like it was time to share the pictures and details of the best day of my entire life.

Recent Wedding Reflections

Although at this point, summer seems like forever ago, I want to take a moment to reflect on this summer at the Flower Co. It's about time I share these with you all.

Between June and August, I had the opportunity to provide florals for a handful of sweet brides and what a joy it was! These women were patient, kind, and a picture of love to me during this beginning season. I am thankful for these women + their now-husbands and want to share a few pics from their special day with you because they deserve it!

The Flower Co.

Hi friends! Can you believe we are already halfway through October? Time just needs to slow down, don't ya think?

As I look forward to all the fun fall and winter things ahead, I want to take a moment to pause and reflect. I know it's been a while since I've posted a blog (lol like whole month) so there's a lot of catching up to do. But I promise that I will do my very best to be more present on here moving forward. 

As you may or may not have seen, on October 1st I launched The Farmer & I Flower Co. And let me tell you, it wasn't easy.

For a girl with a whole lot of self-doubt and indecision, committing to starting a business was terrifying. Terrifying, yet exciting. I've known my whole life that I've wanted to have my own business. I've known for several years that I want to be a wedding florist, so what was so terrifying about that?

DIY: Hanging Fern Wall

Hello friends! I hope that whether you are getting back into the swing of school or simply trying to say goodbye to summer, that the transition has been smooth for you. If the transition hasn't been so easy for you, I have good news, FALL IS ONLY 18 DAYS AWAY!!! 

If you know me, you know that I LOVE fall. I can't quite claim that it is my favorite season because I just love so much about all four of them- but, something about fall just makes my heart happy. Blankets and fires and football and yes, pumpkin spice lattes are all around the corner people!

Now back to reality. Today's DIY is brought to you by a recent Bride of mine. She contacted me before the wedding needing a blank wall to be spruced up for the Reception. She sent me some inspiration and asked if I could help her out!

Lessons from the farm

My name is Grant and I am the Farmer part of “The Farmer and I” and I also happen to have the good fortune to be dating Carrington! As of today, I also happen to be the internet’s newest and most unlikely blogger.

Just a few short months ago, I graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Agricultural Economics and began my career in the fast track industry that is small-scale farming. More specifically, I accepted a position as the farm manager for Texas Specialty Cut Flowers (also known as Arnosky Family Farms), located between Wimberley and Blanco in the Texas Hill Country.
