Find it in Fondren

I'm honored to be included in the most recent arts issue of Find it in Fondren!  As a floral designer I've always viewed my work as my art, and I'm thrilled that someone else sees it that way, too!  Thanks to Paul and Sophie at Find it in Fondren for the feature, and thank you, Chris Myers for making sense of my ramblings!

Flowers for your Valentine!

I am very excited to announce that on Thursday, February 12, from 5-8 pm Maidenhair will be participating in the Art Lovers' Soiree downtown with Art Space 86!   I will have a limited number of luscious arrangements of roses, tulips, ranunculus, amaranthus, and more.   Available in two sizes - $65 and $90.  If you'd like to pre-order just send me an email at jessie@maidenhairfloral.com.

This is one of the largest art events in the city bringing together five art galleries, including Fischer Galleries, Sanders McNeal Studio and Gallery, Lightsey Gallery, The Attic Gallery, and Art Space 86, plus Lemuria Bookstore, Feast Specialty Foods, Lurney D's food truck, the Mississippi Museum of Art.

This event is free and open to the public at the old Dickies factory building on the corner of Silas Brown and President St. in downtown Jackson.

Thanksgiving workshop

On Tuesday November 25, I'll be leading a workshop - Flowers for the Thanksgiving table. Won't you join us?   We'll be using a rich color palette with flowers, berries, lush greenery, and probably a surprise or two from the produce department!  Each participant will leave with a lush, flowing arrangement perfect for the Thanksgiving table - we'll keep things low and trailing - just right for conversation height!  Containers will be provided, but it you have something special that you'd like to use feel free to bring it! 

For reservations:  email jessie@maidenhairfloral.com or call 601-918-6691 

 If you don't have time for a workshop but would like a beautiful arrangement for your Thanksgiving table let me know.  I'll be taking a limited number of orders for table arrangements available for pick-up on Wednesday!  

Chapel Designer Workshop

     In early November I had the honor of attending an official Chapel Designer workshop led by Holly Chapple and Laura Iarocci at Faith Flowers in Atlanta, Georgia.  Holly led us in creating beautiful, lush bouquets,  Laura shared her expertise in altar designs - and that was just the beginning.  With all of the inspiration and new techniques that I learned, Maidenhair's 2015 wedding season is sure to be exciting and beautiful!  

Thank you, Holly,  for all that you do - I am honored to be one of the newest Chapel Designers!  

The Bridal Theory sent the amazingly talented Lauren Carnes to photograph our workshop.  Take a look at the beautiful images that she captured...
