I strongly suggest having a large area for people to hang out. We rented a large house with a pool. So fun!”Hannah Sells & Geoff LyversWed on July 21, 2018Lost River Cave, Bowling GreenPhotographer: Zoe DannenmuellerHairstylist: Kimberly Spears (and helping hand throughout the day)Attire: Ivory and stone Galina tank ball gown with layered tulle skirt from David’s Bridal and white high-top Converse. Khaki Tommy Hilfiger blazer, khaki Calvin Klein slim-fit pants, navy Roundtree and Yorke leather suspenders, chestnut Crevo Camden leather boots.Makeup: Maggie Bellamy with Makeup by Maggie and the Browtique“You don’t have to have a destination elopement to elope,” Hannah says. “You can elope somewhere cool in public in the town that you live in and skip the cost of a venue and save an incredible amount of money. If you choose somewhere in nature, you don’t even need to buy decorations. If you’re worried about celebrating with or including friends and family, just have a reception after the elopement. Your wedding day and wedding planning are both as hard and as stressful as you make them be.”Kaitlan Bondurant & Robin HerringtonWed on October 20, 2018?Cliffview Lodge, Red River Gorge, Campton, KentuckyPhotographer: Mickie WintersFlowers: Bel-Air Florist, Versailles, KentuckyAttire: Dress from Madison James. Suit from Wildfang.?Hair: Lavish Looks, Sparkle BeelerKaitlan is from Cincinnati and Robin is from Louisville, so Red River Gorge was a good meeting point between the two locations. “Standing in front of the beautiful gorge with all of our friends and family was magical,” Robin says. “We had 60 guests and it was the perfect amount for us. We were able to give all of our guests personal attention, and by the end of the weekend everybody felt like one big family.“(Instagram is) great for initial inspiration, but we started to second-guess our planning decisions after seeing a gorgeous escort card table or fun food station. Trust your instincts and believe in your vision. And get a wedding planner. For real. Jeannie Smith, our planner and coordinator (AshBy Wedding & Event Planning), knew what vendors would be appropriate for what we wanted and, more importantly, knew the vendors that would be willing to trek out into the wilds of Kentucky.”This originally appeared in the Spring/Summer 2019 issue of Louisville Bride.

WKU to close down the WKU Floral Shop next week - College Heights Herald

According to the statement released by Bob Skipper, director of media relations, "a group of floral business owners" from Bowling Green and Simpson County approached WKU last September, "claiming that the WKU Floral Shop represented unfair market competition because it is partially subsidized by a public university."In a public Facebook post by Christal Smith McKinney, according to her LinkedIn profile information she is an alumna of WKU, said the charge to close the Floral Shop was led by Warren County Judge-Executive Michael Buchanon. Buchanon, according to business registration information filed with the Kentucky secretary of state's office, is the president of Deemer Floral Co., a local floral shop on Lehman Avenue in Bowling Green. Buchanon publicly commented on McKinney's status and said all the privately owned florists in the region have opposed WKU and "their publicly funded Flower Shop competing against privately funded taxpaying businesses." He said this feud has been ongoing and dates back to former President Gary Ransdell who, he said, often dismissed the objections of local flower shop owners. "WKU’s Flower Shop has had th... http://wkuherald.com/news/wku-to-close-down-the-wku-floral-shop-next-week/article_bdd2cfe2-4cb3-11e8-aff6-9f549d85f2c2.html

Brownsville florist has deep roots - Bowling Green Daily News

I like to have a job,” he said.At the time, Madison said he was mainly employed as a “gofer” but learned the basics of floral arrangement.For 17 years, he worked at Holley Performance Products in Bowling Green but decided to change jobs when his daughter Autumn was born in 1981.“My wife wanted to be a stay-at-home mom,” he said. “At first I actually mowed yards for extra money but then one day, I guess I had a brainstorm and thought, ‘Well I used to do flowers. I can still do that.’ ”Despite initial fears that he wouldn’t be able to compete with the three existing flower shops in Brownsville, within two years Madison’s business grew too big for his porch to sustain, requiring him to move to a larger home in Brownsville where he ran the shop out of a two-car garage.Moody died in 1990 and, a few years later, Madison bought her business and renamed his store Madison’s and Marguerite’s Flowers in her honor.Trevor Madison, Anthony’s son, has traveled far and wide with the Peace Corps and has done farm work on homesteads in North Carolina and California but sometimes finds himself back in his hometown.Typically, when he’s back in Brownsville, he works at his father’s store.“I really am not rooted anywhere and I consistently find myself back in my hometown with my family,” he said.Trevor, now 32, said he’s been working at Madison’s and Marguerite’s off and on since he was 18.“I just grew up around it, and it became second nature to me when I started at it,” he said.Growing up, Trevor would often go on flower deliveries and help out at the store, he said.Tasked with building a mixed flower bouquet Wednesday, Trevor started with a rose in the center and expanded outward from there, scattering other flowers – such as carnations, goldrenrod and purple and yellow daisies – around the rose that stayed in the middle of the display.“For me, the arrangement sort of makes itself,” he said. “The less I think about it, the better it’ll turn out.”Anthony, after filling a separate vase with greenery, arranged a dozen ro... http://www.bgdailynews.com/news/brownsville-florist-has-deep-roots/article_ecec9632-b146-593f-8c92-b416818b60f0.html

With closed doors, Frankfort retailers, florist make alternative plans - State-Journal.com

Frankfort retailers are making alternative plans after Gov. Andy Beshear issued an order mandating all nonessential Kentucky retail businesses to close to in-person traffic by 8 p.m. Monday.Nonessential retail businesses include auto and vehicle dealers; furniture and home furnishing stores; electronics and appliance stores; cosmetics, beauty supply and perfume stores; optical good stores; other health and personal care stores; shoe stores; clothing stores; sporting goods, hobby, musical instrument and book stores; department stores; florists; office supplies, stationary and gift stores; and used merchandise stores.At Poor Richard’s Books — an anchor shop in downtown Frankfort for more than 30 years — owner Lizz Taylor worries that the closure will make it more difficult to get educational materials, especially books, into children’s hands.“I’m concerned that this will be a long haul and video screens will get old,” she said.The Paul Sawyier Public Library closed and ceased all operations — with the exception of online services — on Saturday. ... https://www.state-journal.com/business/with-closed-doors-frankfort-retailers-florist-make-alternative-plans/article_298b2460-6d36-11ea-b291-63a3f84599ce.html

With the right placement and little care, hydrangeas can make your Kentucky garden pop - Courier Journal

But while these are better garden plants and work well outside, the fact of the matter is that they work much better in Savannah or Charleston than they do in Kentucky. Bigleaf hydrangeas struggle in Kentucky because we are way too dry in summer (ever try to keep one of these from wilting in July or August?), and they also get their blooms blasted by Kentucky’s annual late spring freezes. The moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean tends to help Savannah-grown hydrangeas avoid that fate. There are forms that bloom on new wood each year (so still bloom if hit with a spring freeze) but they still have that darned constant wilting thing ...And now to what should be considered the state tree of most northern states, Hydrangea paniculata. When I lived in Maine, not having a PG hydrangea in your front yard was a bit like not raking your leaves in fall or not shoveling the sidewalk in front of your house. Nobody wants to be that guy! Suffice to say, they were omnipresent. But after a while, it can get a little monotonous. Fortunately, plant breeders jumped in, and we now have a gigantic slate of varieties from which to choose.There are types with gigantic, white, globular flower heads that can reach 10-12 inches long. They have mostly sterile flowers with four petals each — the fertile flowers are tiny and buried deep in the flower cluster. Then there are those with a mixture of showy, sterile flowers and the non-show, fertile flowers. This gives the whole flower head (inflorescence) a lighter and more airy feel. A bit less like a Nerf football. Most are white flowering, but there are some (the variety Pillow Talk comes to mind) that start out greenish, go to white and then end the show with rich pink.But I prefer to look at the various varieties out there as opportunities to extend the bloom season. To that end, two of my favorites are the earliest of the H. paniculatas to bloom, "Dharuma" and the latest, "Tardiva.""Dharuma" is a Dutch selection that has a white, lace cap bloom type with a mix of sterile and fertile flowers. It is one of the smaller growing forms with 10-year-old plants at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens topping out at around 5-feet tall, less than half the size of the straight species. But it is also the very first one in our collection to bloom each year, usually starting to show its color in May.Then, when "Dharuma" is just making its last gasp of show, "Tardiva" bursts into bloom. Another lace cap type bloom, this one is just about the last one to flower in the group. It blooms in pure white and flowers through late July and August. So, with one plant of each in the garden, you can have flowers almost all summer long.But wait, there’s more.Another development in the large hydrangea world over the last few decades has been the discovery of the North American native oakleaf hydrangea. A large grower to 10-feet-plus tall and wide with thick, leathery leaves, this is an understory plant that graces the garden with billowy white blooms in late spring and early summer. And like all the ... https://www.courier-journal.com/story/life/home-garden/2020/05/08/hydrangeas-give-your-kentucky-gardens-ample-variety-color/3047641001/
