I had the great pleasure of teaming up with my friend Halle Frey of Flower & Fringe to host a flower crown event at Anthropologie this weekend. It was seriously a perfect morning. We had a great group of ladies learning how to make crowns with us—- and when I say ‘us’, I absolutely mean ‘me’ learning— not Halle. Halle is a wizard with flowers. And I’m a man handling daisy killer— to put it lightly. Precision and grace is not my business— I’m a bit all over the place myself.
An-y-way— it was a blast. Purple cocktails, lemonade, lavender cookies made by the fine folks of Anthro. Flowers everywhere from Flower &Fringe. Awesome people to meet. And some pretty amazing flower crowns to take home for all of us.
My friend Alana helped and scared me quite a bit when I would look down and realize my brother’s camera wasn’t in front of me anymore—- thanks for that, A. And Halle, like I said, she’s a flower wizard. Both those girls have been bringing the extra touch of inspiration and creativity I’ve been longing for lately. And in general, like I said before, I feel pretty lucky that I get to spend my days doing awesome things with amazing people.
Thanks SO MUCH to those who came out to create such a fun morning!
&If you’re interested, you can see more photos HERE too 🙂 Thanks Xio!
&If you happen to read this, Jesse—I want to be best friends with you and your purple shirt.

This looks so much fun! I love the use of real flowers, its prettier than those silk flowers + smells good! I'm writing about how to make a flower crown with fake flowers. I wish I could've went especially because I love anthropologie.

I used to work for anthro 🙂 love it there and the atmosphere just inspires creativity! Beautiful crowns!
Looks like it was a GREAT time and you are a fabulous flower crown maker! Is that the Anthro in City Place? If so, that's my favorite Anthro! I go there all the time 🙂
Looks like you gals had a blast! A perfect way to force spring to come out and play. 🙂

I swear you might me quite jealous with the way you can take such beautiful photos. It almost feels as though I was there, haha. Which I wish I was because this sure does look like fun! Such a beautiful idea too. I wish in small town Sherman that we had nice group gatherings like this for the neighborhood. I may just need to move to FL.
Let's see if I can convince my husband of it!
That looks so fun! Flowers at this time of year are so pretty 🙂
I WISH I COULD HAVE GONE! I hope I'll be around South Fl next time you host one of these beautiful things.
Wow, thats just an amazing idea! Wow, for my next birthday I really would like to have a flower crown party 😉
