..harvest and brake

Remember this blog post? Well, here is the result..

Chamomile was very easy to grow, but it got attacked by bugs. I found a tips online that I should spray milk on it, and it actually worked! Now I have harvested flowers three times already and made yummy tea.

The baby's breath did grow, but no flowers showed up.. I will have to try again next year.

I also have to inform you that I'm currently taking a brake from this blog. Way to much going on right now. But I'm excited to share that I will be back in a few months with a new concept, so stay tuned :)

You can still follow me at my photo blog - http://photobyrosenhoff.blogspot.no and I'm at Instagram - that you can find in the sidebar.

Thanks for reading my blog so far, and I hope you will continue to follow me when I'm back. Until then - have a great fall!

..flower crown

Recently I was enjoying the season by making a flower crown for my cousins adorable little daughter. After some dancing, singing and picking some flowers, the fairy princess and I brought it inside and put it in a shallow bowl. 

Moments to treasure ♡

..wedding flower decorations

 I placed two very old cherry trees, decorated with hanging flowers in small glass tubes, 

on both sides of the altar.

A simple DIY - project right there.

We brought the trees indoor for the reception. Great for decorating a large hall.

The bride and the groom were brave enough to plan an outdoor ceremony. In Norway that's not to common because the weather is changing so much, but this time it turned out to be great.

..another June wedding bouquet

Yet again I've had the great honor of making a wedding bouquet. This time with peach and gray-green colors. I went for a whimsical look but still a bit clean. "Less is more" was definitely not the idea behind this bouquet. I wanted the bride to keep discover new things when she looked at it.

1.Rose  2.Wild Chervil  3.Silver Dust 

4.Eucalyptus  5.Cherry tree 6.Carnation flower

7.Astrantia  8.Peony  9.Small pine cones 

Pretty, pretty flowers

The next blogpost will be about the other flower decorations I did in this wedding.

..life begins in the garden

An old beautiful plank just became our new shelf, old boilers are great for herbs and other plants. I LOVE summertime! With these pictures I'm joining NIB's contest in the last minute. This month challenge is "garden / patio". See more contributions here.

Tomorrow it's all about flowers and weddings!

..coming up this weekend

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive and are working on some new blog posts for this weekend. This is a sneek peek of a wedding bouquet..

..in my garden

We have planted some seeds in my garden and now I'm really excited to see if I'm able to grow these lovely flowers. I hope to give you a good update later this summer.

..baby's breath

I'm gonna do the flowers for a wedding this summer and now I just started to test out some ideas. I'm totally in love with baby's breath!! But it need to be used in a certain way.. I think it sometimes can look a bit tacky. What do you think about this flower?

..colts foot

I always pick the first colts foot I see every year, but it only last for a day when I put it in water. So this year I decided to pick more than one and turn it in to a potted plant. Now it's the forth day I'm enjoying these lovelies ❤

..bird tree

I'm sorry, I know most people are very tired of Christmas decorations by now, but I just had to show you our Christmas tree. It's so small that only my birds and some flowers could fit in it. It's a potted tree, so hopefully I will have the same tree next year.

What date is Christmas over for you? I used to think 8th of January, now I'm not sure anymore..

I also used a glue gun for this project. This can also be flower vase, but if you are intending to use it as a tealight holder I would recommend to use a jar with a wider neck cause this can get really hot.

A hot tip; If you need a lot of small jars, then ask someone with a baby. We end up with tons of them! At least I do..

..DIY flower vase

This is super easy to make!

The flowers I have used is 'Heather flower' and 'Eucalyptus'

..see you later

I have finally got my own garden! And ofcourse I had to plant some bulbs. Hopefully I will se the result of this in April / May..

What do you do to enjoy the season?

..goodbye summer - welcome fall

 

 

 

So, we have moved since last time. Now we are borrowing a beautiful house for a few months while the owners, our friends, are out traveling. Here is a tablesetting arranged with treasures I found in the garden.

Have a great season! (whatever season you've got where you're at..)

..a gift wrapped week VI

Drop some drops of essential oil (e.g. lavender oil) on coconut fibers, put it in a favor bag and hang it on the gift with dried flowers. The recipient can later use it in a closet to give the clothes a nice smell.

..Solveig and Benjamin

 

I got to co-shoot a wedding this weekend and what a beautiful wedding and couple! Lace, roses and daisys.. Mmm.. Here is a few of the shots.

Congratulation Solveig and Benjamin!!

..a June wedding bouquet

Yesterday two dear friends got married and I got the great honor of doing the flowers! 

Here is a list of the flowers I used for her bouquet;

~ Peonies  ~ Roses (La belle)  ~ Viburnum  ~ Astrantia  ~ Eucalyptus (populus)  ~ Hydrangea  

~ Limonium (pink emille)

..friday flowers

~ Muscari ~

..my wedding bouquet

Very simple, but elegant. The "septer" didn't turn out as I planned at all. I wanted the florist to twist some of the ribbon I gave her (from my dress) together with wire and make it look like a golden septer. For some reason she didn't.. But maybe I can hand over the idea to somebody else?

..friday flowers

Oh how I love lilies! This was the one and only flower in my wedding bouquet. I'll show you a picture of it tomorrow..
