A little exercise in seasonality, collaboration, and making something just because we can!
We gathered on Halloween morning, with a fog-covered hay field as our backdrop, and spent the day foraging and harvesting heavily seasonal materials from Mayhew Farms | Hay Farmer and Petále Gardens | Cut Flower Farm. We added a few special ingredients, including orchids and rudbeckia, from our wholesale friends at Choice Flower Exchange and Austin Flower Co. and dried goodies from Petále Haus | San Antonio Florist.
Then we hauled everything out to the field and built these sculptural installations together. No client, no commission, no brief. Just an opportunity to work with what the season was giving us, experiment with materials, and create something entirely for the love of floral design.

Once we were finished, we loaded everything back up and brought the installations to the haus Petále Haus | San Antonio Florist.
A reminder of how much possibility there is in working with the season rather than against it. And honestly, what better way to spend Halloween morning? 🤎🥹
