One of the things that I love about The Bridal Gar

One of the things that I love about The Bridal Garden so much is you! I love getting to know the bride in front of me and the person you are. I love speaking into your life and praying for you. For me, that process helps me to interpret the flower designing process and design for you. Creativity is such an integral process. It reflects you and what you have dreamed your day to be like. But also, it is a reflection of my creativity and holding you in that space. That is at the heart of what I want The Bridal Garden to be. So, really, it is about you and what you mean to me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am passionate about flowers, and I am passionate about creating. But, ultimately, I am passionate about you and really SEEING you!

Today is my 20th wedding anniversary with this guy

Today is my 20th wedding anniversary with this guy. Over the years, we have seen triumphs, heartaches, and everything in between. However, the sense of clarity I claim that we are on this adventure of life together makes every memory we have accumulated together worthwhile. When I made a covenant with this man all those years ago, I didn’t know he would call forth the best version of myself. Having the privilege to grow in strength and unity with him has been one of the greatest joys of my life. This bond of marriage with him has seen some stumbling roadblocks, but because this teammate of mine demands me to be more of myself, not less, this connection is seemingly indestructible. As I reflect on who I want to be in another 20 years, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is by his side.

I celebrate that our bond has grown so much that we created two other human beings to manifest that love. And since life is an accumulation of memories, I couldn’t imagine life without my family. Thank you, Donovan (and my girls), for being you and for growing yourself and cherishing me. Thank you for reaching deep and loving hard. Thank you for your loyalty and devotion. I pray that the next 20+ years are filled with blessings beyond measure.

This wedding was simple yet beautiful—the baby's

This wedding was simple yet beautiful—the baby's breath shown like eyelet lace, blooming in all its grace. When I gaze at each bud, it reminds me that these flowers are one way I can learn to experience the love of God.

I gaze at this picture and remember the day I delivered them. I can feel the love of God in the sunshine pouring in from the window, delight in His love as I run my fingers across the delicate blooms of each baby's breath bud, and embrace the love of God in the gentle breeze that stirred the air from the open door just beyond the frame of this picture.

Swipe to see more of the darling baby's breath made into a garland. I encourage you to search out the different ways God loves you throughout the day today. Happy Day!

During this stage of my life, I have studied the art of happiness. Some days it just comes naturally, like the sun rising in the east. On other days it is a choice I make on purpose. I like being around happy people, and because of that, I am following Anne's advice: "Whoever is happy will make others happy." Drop me a ❤️ or a 😊 if you are with me!

I had so much fun with my daughter, Marin, today at @siloeventcenter open house.

This is the type of day that you invest back into the business and make connections. We not only met with people in the wedding industry, but some amazing brides too. Being able to introduce Marin as the designer made my heart melt with happiness. You go, girl!

This is my youngest daughter, Marin, and she is my creative child. She spends her time writing, painting, and designing flowers with me.

She told me a couple of months ago that she thinks one day she wants to take over @bridal_garden_by_lindi , my wedding flower company. I almost started crying when she told me. All the years I have spent sowing into my business and knowing she might take those efforts and multiply them. It makes me feel like the sweat and the tears I have invested in will continue. Since her expressed interest, I have taught her the why's and how's of my business decisions.

Because of her interest, I have invited her to join me at @siloeventcenter for their Fall Open House. While there, we will socialize with other vendors in the wedding industry and, most importantly, chat with brides who are getting married.

The Silo Event Center: 4629 West 41st St, Tulsa, Ok 74107
Date: Sunday, August 28th, 2022
Time: 2:00pm – 5:00pm

🍀I feel lucky on this Saint Patrick's Day.🍀

Why do you ask? Because I get to do what I love. I have built a career out of being creative, and I couldn't imagine a better life. I feel like I am lying in a field of clover every single day.

Today is Mr. Mayberry's birthday! He took a long

Today is Mr. Mayberry's birthday! He took a long time deciding what he wanted for his birthday dessert. He whittled his list down to birthday cake or coconut cream pie at the last moment. Ultimately the pie won out. 🤤🥧

Created with coconut milk and shredded coconut flakes, it is a Mr. Mayberry pleaser! Find it on the blog under Recipes.

"Careful! I've put a huge stone on the road to Mo

"Careful! I've put a huge stone on the road to Mount Zion, a stone you can't get around. But the stone is me! If you're looking for me, you'll find me on the way, not in the way." -Romans 30:33 MSG.

I read this passage yesterday, and it made me think of a family vacation we took to the Grand Canyon a few years ago. I don't know about you, but I want to encounter God on this path in life. I don't want it just to be a pebble under my feet; I want it to be a boulder more enormous than I am. I don't want only to hear a bit of crunching under my feet. I want His presence and direction to assault all my senses- just like hiking in the canyon. I want my stone to be so big I have to climb it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Nothing brightens up a room quicker than a dazzlin

Nothing brightens up a room quicker than a dazzling bouquet of boldly colored fresh flowers. During the midst of winter, it is the perfect time to run to the grocery store and pick up a cart full.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, do you ever get tired of the same ol’ boring wrapped bunches of prepackaged flowers? Want your store-bought flowers to look like a million bucks?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then hop over to the blog and read my post on 8 tips to design grocery store flowers like a pro. These helpful tips are perfect right before Valentine’s Day!

Outside is bitterly cold and filled with snow. Inside I am cuddled up with a cup of coffee!

Mine is coffee…definitely! It is like a hug in a mug. So, today, grab your favorite cup of joe, seize a book, and snuggle up!

The book I grabbed was algebra 😩. I homeschool my daughters, and just because it is snowing doesn’t mean they get the day off. Well, our co-op @classical_conversations was canceled. But, hey, the unexpected day off still proved eventful because we were behind a lesson in math. Not anymore! Even Maddy the cat joined us. Catch my stories to see her sitting in on the lesson 😂🐈

What’s your favorite cold-weather drink? Tea? Coffee? Cocoa? Let me know in the comments!

Watching the snowfall outside my window makes me want to cuddle up under this fur. It looks snug and warm. Being snowed in gives me a chance to get some much-needed work done. Don't worry. I can still find time to watch Netflix!

Marin, my youngest daughter can't be left out! She brightens up my life with her spunk and wit. She always has a ready smile and an easy laugh. She tends to be the life of the party and has plenty of good spirit and jokes in her back pocket.

The end-of-year homeschool party was celebrated with a 50s themed dress-up skating party @wheelsandthrills . She coordinated dress styles with her friend Audrey (swipe to see). We spent the day getting ready at our house while I watched YouTube videos on how to style a victory curl hairdo. Let me tell 'ya; there was a cloud of hairspray that followed in their wake.

The weather can't make up its mind. One day it is bright and sunny, and I can haul my succulents outside to soak up some much-needed rays of sunshine. I have to keep watch because the next day can be bitterly cold. Today, however, was bright and beautiful, and the plants that I am trying to winterize inside hitched a ride outside.

I recently was blessed to work with @andibravo_photography . I got to design the florals for this wedding. Creating a room full of bright flowers was an absolute delight. Andi created this reel, and I was so excited by it, I had to share. Great work, Andi!

I don't want just to let life happen to me. I want to go out and make life happen. I want to enjoy, savor, experience, and paint it all with my expectation of awe. I want to be wooed by the beauty that surrounds me every day. I want to cultivate eyes to see the color that bleeds into another on my doodle watercolor page and the sunset that captivates my heart in the evening. I want to let those simple moments connect me to God. If I choose to be wooed by awe in those mundane moments, then I have lived a well-loved and well-lived life.

Some of my favorite memories of 2021 always involve my kids. This one is no exception. We usually visit @sdcattractions a few times a year. My girls always make sure we go on all of the exciting and exhilarating roller coasters in the park. I always think, “They are so ready for they’re next adventure God will give them.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They may not know all of the twists and turns that life is going to throw at then, yet they know that God will traverse the unknown with them. That thought continues to bless me every time I see this picture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me, are you a coaster rider? It so, what’s your favorite?

The new year always brings a new sense of promise

The new year always brings a new sense of promise and rejuvenation. It's always so easy for me to get caught up in making new plans and deadlines for myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this year, my goal is to make time for myself, and I think we all owe it to ourselves to settle down, relax, and lean into what energizes us. For me, that would be:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spending time with my family. (This one is the most important. Family is EVERYTHING!👨‍👩‍👧‍👧)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Making something that ignites your creativity. (Mine is flowers!🌻)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Binge-watching your favorite TV series. (Um, can I get 🥳 for @outlander!! I'm ready for #droughtlander to an end.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes when we need our souls to rest. How will you be encouraging yourself this year?
