Blair Roberts Lynn is an experienced wedding and event florist whose feminine, two-piece floral ensemble expresses her affection for seasonal and local flowers.

I feel passionately about local flowers and I loved being able to highlight what Tom and Sarah are growing at Grateful Gardeners.

Her friends Sarah Daken and Tom Precht contributed flowers from their farm and invited Blair and photographer Kirsten Smith to use Grateful Gardeners’ fields as the photography setting. Blair cut mop head hydrangeas from her own garden to fashion a delicate bandeau top covered in tiny florets. A full-length skirt is finished with hydrangea foliage and ostrich fern at the waist; Annabelle hydrangeas form a ruffle at the hips and Limelight hydrangeas trim the hem and flirty slit.

A medley of pink and orange botanicals covers the remaining skirt silhouette, including bold bands of marigolds and a floral pattern of lisianthus, celosia, sunflowers, and snapdragons. Dinner plate dahlias dance across this colorful floral background to finish the look.
