Nostalgic Galentine's Party Inspiration

This one is for all you vintage lovers out there! There is just a certain charm & romance to antique pieces. We love em for the sense of nostalgia they bring.

Welcome to The Flower Cottage Journal

Hello friends! Welcome to our new blog :)

In case we haven’t met, we’re Julie & Bethany, 2 sisters who started a biz flowering weddings called Sapphire & Lace Design. For the past 8 years we’ve spent April-December elbow deep in beautiful blooms designing for our wonderful wedding clients.
