4 Events, 4 Styles, Endless Wedding Flower Inspiration

At Something Borrowed Blooms, we believe every celebration deserves florals as memorable as the moment. So when we partnered with Loverly for their latest Bach Club trip in beautiful Bermuda, we knew we had the perfect opportunity to showcase the full range of what our premium silk florals can do. The vision? Create four completely distinct and immersive events that would transport guests into a new world at every turn — and let the florals set the tone!

The Vision: A Floral Journey Through Four Signature Events

From the start, Loverly’s goal was to make each event feel one-of-a-kind, inspired by the latest trends in bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and modern wedding celebrations. With this in mind, they created four standout experiences:

- Main Squeeze Brunch – a bold, tropical welcome filled with citrusy color and island flair.

- On Cloud 9 Dinner – an ethereal beachside soirée bathed in soft whites and dreamy textures

- Something Blue Afternoon Tea – a romantic, whimsical escape inspired by Bridgerton.

- ‘Tini Bit Bridal Dinner – a chic, mocha-toned evening with a nod to the espresso martini trend.

Each event had its own personality, tone, and aesthetic, and our rent and return silk florals brought them all to life.

Main Squeeze Brunch: Tropical Vibes, Island Style

For the kick-off event, the team leaned into bold, bright citrus tones to reflect the vibrant energy of Bermuda. Set against lush greenery and sun-soaked views, this brunch was pure joy! Think oranges, corals, and pops of hot pink — a color story that matched the tropical surroundings and welcomed the guests with a refreshing burst of color.

The Gemma Collection was the perfect match for florals. With vibrant blooms and a playful color palette, Gemma added the exact burst of fun they envisioned. The Gemma collection is a beautiful blend of bright bougainvillea, various shades of pink roses, camellias, lush ranunculus, and dreamy peonies. Guests couldn’t stop commenting on how real everything looked and felt, including the floral scent!

The brunch table was accented with our fun and funky, orange tanger votives alongside freshly sliced oranges to play into that ‘Main Squeeze’ theme. 

On Cloud 9 Dinner: Soft, Ethereal & Seaside Chic

For this serene, beachside dinner, the Loverly team went full ethereal. Picture soft whites, layers of gauzy fabrics, and delicate florals that trailed along the table setting. The design was intentionally understated, letting the natural surroundings shine while still creating an elevated, dreamlike experience.

The Wren Collection was an easy choice for florals — its soft white orchids and airy light pink roses were the perfect floral pairing for a barefoot dinner in the sand. The team added their own glass pillar candles, which finished the look with just the right amount of ambiance and warmth.

Something Blue Afternoon Tea: Romance Among the Ruins

Set in the breathtaking Unfinished Church, this tea party was the trip’s most awe-inspiring moment. The juxtaposition of crumbling stone and delicate, romantic florals created an unforgettable visual contrast. Inspired by the dreamy world of Bridgerton, this event was soft, feminine, and dripping in charm.

The Taylor Collection brought this scene to life with a mix of blues, creams, and soft purple tones that looked freshly picked from an English garden. The tablescape was complete with Taylor Floral Meadows on either side of the long table, as the Taylor Floral Runner provided a long, lush arrangement down the middle. Among the ruins, the florals softened the space and added just the right amount of whimsy.

‘Tini Bit Bridal Dinner: Chic, Cozy & Mocha-Toned Magic

The final dinner was a nod to the bride who loves her espresso martinis (and great design). With mocha mousse, the color of the year, as our lead shade, this dinner was rich, stylish, and cozy. It felt luxurious yet modern — a perfect send-off to a dreamy weekend.

Once again, the Wren Collection delivered. Its neutral, premium silk white orchids allowed the team to highlight the mocha tones in the rest of the tablescape. Paired with romantic candlelight from our gold Tulip and Solitaire Candlesticks. These antique-style taper holders elevated the overall look of the exclusive dinner.

The Floral Impact: From Setup to Celebration

One of the biggest wins of the weekend? How incredibly easy and impactful the florals were!

The team was able to match their mood boards to our floral collections with ease. Once the florals arrived, it was a simple unbox, fluff, and place — perfect for a destination celebration where time and resources are limited! The team even took advantage of our extended 10-day rental option, to give themselves a little extra time to return all the product. 

Guests, influencers, and even venue staff couldn’t believe the florals were silk. The scent was another surprise – everyone kept commenting on how amazing they smelled, and not a single person guessed they weren’t fresh!

Why SBBlooms is Made for Destination Events

This trip proved what we already knew — Something Borrowed Blooms is made for destination events. 

“When you’re planning remotely, it can be harder to find local vendors you trust, so having SBBlooms as an option took a huge weight off our shoulders. Plus, what you see online is exactly what you get. And the return process is so easy. Just repack everything, use the return label, and you’re done. It made the entire experience stress-free!”

- Kayla Fitzgerald, Senior Brand Manager @ Loverly

We’re so grateful to Loverly for including us in this unforgettable weekend. From bold and tropical to soft and romantic, this trip showcased the true versatility of silk florals — and the joy they bring to every kind of celebration.

2. Can I make any customizations?

One of the most common questions we get! We don’t offer custom florals, everything in our collections arrives exactly as photographed on our website, which means no surprises on your big day. But that doesn’t mean you can’t add your own personal flair!

We love seeing how brides bring their unique style to our arrangements. For example, if you're envisioning white, blue, and vibrant pops of color, start with our Millie Collection as a base. Then, add in your own fresh or silk stems to create a look that’s completely your own. 

Just take a look at how real SBBlooms bride Jessie personalized her blooms!

Don’t be afraid to mix and match products from other collections, either! SBBlooms Insider, Catie, rented the Marlowe Bridesmaid Bouquets for her bridal party and opted to carry the Eloise Bridal Bouquet (Blanc) for that dreamy all-white bridal moment.

3. Can I make edits to my order once it’s placed?

Yes! You can edit your wedding flower rental order anytime up to 10 days before your event—a level of flexibility you likely won’t find with a traditional florist.

With fresh florals, most brides submit inspiration photos and hope for the best. With Something Borrowed Blooms, what you see is exactly what you’ll get. You can swap collections, update quantities, or make changes through your customer portal on our website 24/7—no phone calls necessary, unless you want to chat, of course!

4. How often do you come out with new collections?

We’re always dreaming up something new! Our design team typically releases two collections per year. Sometimes it’s a completely new look with a fresh color palette. Other times, it’s a modern refresh of an existing collection—think of it as a little floral facelift to keep things current and on-trend.

Either way, you can always expect something stunning coming your way! And not to worry, if you book a collection and later fall in love with a new release before your event date, you can easily make a switch through your customer portal!

Join our exclusive Facebook group, SBBlooms Insiders, to be the first to know about our new releases. 

5. Who sets up the florals and decor on the big day?

Our wedding flower rentals arrive pre-arranged and are designed to be DIY-friendly, so most couples rely on helpful friends or family to handle setup. We recommend preparing step-by-step setup instructions to make the process quick and stress-free for your crew.

Bright, bold, and brimming with romance - Kennedy and Jonathan's wedding day was a vibrant celebration of love, laughter, and the beginning of their forever. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of a glass chapel and adorned with our fan-favorite Kinsley Collection, every detail was thoughtfully designed to reflect the couple’s joyful spirit and colorful style.

A Love Story Meant to Bloom

Kennedy and Jonathon’s love story began just before the world shut down in 2020. Introduced by a mutual friend — who later officiated their wedding — the pair grew closer during those quiet, uncertain months and built a strong foundation that led them to “I do.” With five years together and now officially newlyweds, their wedding day was a true reflection of their joyful, colorful love.

Why Kennedy Chose Something Borrowed Blooms

Like many brides planning a spring wedding, Kennedy dreamed of floral arrangements bursting with color — but she didn’t want to be limited by what was “in season.” Enter Something Borrowed Blooms, a wedding flower solution that caught her eye on social media.

“I was blown away at the florals, the options, the sustainability, and most of all – the process. The ability to choose florals that I deeply wanted, without fear that they would be in season, was a chef's kiss!” – Kennedy

The sustainable approach to florals spoke straight to her heart. Knowing her beautiful blooms would be reused, not wasted, made her decision feel even more intentional and meaningful.

Falling in Love With the Kinsley Collection

Kennedy had one vision in mind: bright, bold, beautiful. The Kinsley Collection delivered just that.

With a vibrant mix of vivid and soft pinks, white cosmos, sunny yellow poppies, and delicate hints of blue, the Kinsley Collection brought Kennedy’s vision of a bold and joyful spring wedding to life. The Kinsley bridal bouquet felt like a freshly picked garden moment — playful yet elegant and bursting with romantic charm. The mix of textures and colors created a stunning visual impact that felt both whimsical and timeless.

“Kinsley is absolutely stunning, whimsical, and romantic... she is a true gem!” – Kennedy

Ceremony & Reception Floral Details

For the ceremony, the couple transformed their venue into a dreamy floral scene:

- Both the Kinsley Garland and Kinsley Garland (wisteria) were artfully wrapped together and draped over the arbor.

- Floral meadows framed each side of the chapel stage, adding a grounded garden feel.

- Aisle markers adorned every other pew, bringing the entire space to life.

At the reception, the floral magic continued:

- Large and small centerpieces were placed on guest tables, cocktail tables, the memory table, and the bar.

- The sweetheart table was draped with two lush Kinsley garlands, with Kennedy’s bridal bouquet adding a personal and elegant finishing touch.

A Seamless, Stress-Free Experience

From start to finish, Kennedy and Jonathon were blown away by the ease and beauty of their Something Borrowed Blooms experience.

“Everything came packed beautifully, was neatly organized, and smelled amazing! The flowers arrived early, and everything was there. Everyone was in awe of the flowers and could not get over how beautiful they were.” – Kennedy

Kennedy’s love for color and floral elegance shined through every petal and arrangement, making her wedding day unforgettable.

At Something Borrowed Blooms, we believe wedding flowers should be beautiful, stress-free, and sustainable—a philosophy that perfectly aligned with O'Malley and Jack’s vision for their big day. When planning their lakeside wedding, they wanted a celebration that felt intentional, elegant, and effortlessly beautiful, allowing the natural surroundings to take center stage. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque resort just minutes from the college where they first met, their wedding was a heartfelt reflection of their love story—made even more special with our rent-and-return florals.

A Sustainable & Stress-Free Floral Solution

When it came to choosing their wedding flowers, O'Malley and Jack knew that fresh blooms weren’t the right option for them. Sustainability was a priority, and the thought of spending thousands on flowers that would only wilt and be discarded didn’t sit right.

That’s where Something Borrowed Blooms came in. Our premium silk flowers provided a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative, allowing them to achieve a beautifully curated floral design without the waste.

“Sustainability is important to us, so fresh flowers that would eventually be thrown away weren’t an option,” O’Malley shared. “Finding Something Borrowed Blooms was the perfect solution—not only was it an eco-friendly choice, but it was also significantly more affordable than traditional florals.”

Beyond affordability and sustainability, the stress-free rental process was a major plus. With florals delivered ready to use, there was no need to worry about watering, wilting, or last-minute transportation to the venue.

The Millie Collection: A Perfect Match

To complement their springtime lakeside setting, O'Malley and Jack selected the Millie Collection, featuring soft whites, and delicate blues. The romantic, airy color palette blended effortlessly with the natural beauty of their venue.

One of the benefits of renting from Something Borrowed Blooms is the ability to create a cohesive floral look across every element of the wedding. The couple incorporated:

- Millie Bridal & bridesmaid bouquets – A fresh, english-garden look perfectly paired with light yellow bridesmaid dresses.

- Millie centerpieces for reception décor – Bringing effortless beauty to their tablescapes.

- Flameless candles – A warm, glowing ambiance without the hassle of open flames was used with Signature Candlesticks in silver.

"The simplicity of having luxury silk flowers delivered to our door and not having to worry about keeping them fresh in water or transporting them was a huge relief," O'Malley shared.

The Rental Experience

For O'Malley and Jack, receiving their flowers in 11 large boxes was an exciting moment in the wedding planning process. Checking the order ahead of time ensured that everything was accounted for.

A few tips from O’Malley to make the rental process even smoother:

- Check all boxes upon arrival to confirm everything is in place and functioning properly.

- Have a designated setup team or day-of coordinator to handle floral placement. If a Mostest Planner is in your city - take advantage of this opportunity to have an SBBlooms trained planner.

- Apply your return labels ahead of time to simplify the return process.

A Floral Experience Worth Recommending

Reflecting on their wedding, O’Malley and Jack couldn’t be happier with their decision to rent their wedding flowers. The Millie Collection was a perfect match, and the rental process allowed them to focus on what truly mattered—celebrating their love with family and friends.

For couples considering Something Borrowed Blooms, O'Malley shares this advice:

- Don’t overcomplicate it! Let your venue’s natural beauty shine, and choose florals that enhance the setting.

- Check your order upon arrival. Make sure all items are accounted for so there are no surprises.

- Enjoy the stress-free process. No wilting, no water, no waste—just stunning flowers that last all day and look flawless in photos.

“It was the perfect way to have beautiful flowers without the waste or high price tag. Even with small imperfections, they photographed beautifully and fit our wedding aesthetic perfectly.”

A thoughtfully planned wedding, a stunning floral design, and a day filled with love—O'Malley and Jack’s wedding is proof that sustainability and style can go hand in hand.

Make every dollar count with these savvy wedding flower tips and tricks

Your wedding flowers are one of the most beautiful elements of your big day, setting the tone with color, texture, and ambiance. But what if you could make the most out of your floral arrangements beyond just the ceremony? With a little planning, your wedding flowers can do double (or even triple) duty—saving you money and ensuring that every petal is fully appreciated.

Here’s how to repurpose your wedding flowers throughout your celebration and beyond!

1. Ceremony to Reception Transition

Altar Arrangements as Sweetheart Table Decor

Large floral arrangements placed at the altar, such as floral meadows, swags, and grand centerpieces can be easily moved to frame your sweetheart table or the head table. This creates a seamless transition of decor and keeps the romance flowing throughout the reception. These statement pieces can also be positioned by your DJ or band to enhance their stage presence. For example, a grand floral arch from the altar could be repurposed behind the sweetheart table, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur. Similarly, floral swags or garlands could be draped around the table, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere.

SBBlooms Insider; Micheala, used Marlowe Grand Centerpieces to flank her ceremony space and then repurposed them behind her sweetheart table to create a stunning backdrop.

Aisle Flowers as Centerpieces

Aisle markers hanging from your chairs or pews can be repurposed as centerpieces or accent decor on cocktail tables, gift tables, or the bar. Putting two aisle markers criss-crossed into an ‘x’ fashion can also double as a smaller arrangement. This not only adds a touch of charm and personality to the reception but also maximizes the use of your floral arrangements. For instance, tall aisle arrangements could become eye-catching centerpieces, while smaller posies in bud vases could adorn cocktail tables.

Bridal and Bridesmaid Bouquets as Table Decor

Instead of letting your bridesmaid bouquets rest on a chair or disappear after photos, placing these beautiful arrangements fanned out around your cake doubles as a cake meadow. This adds a touch of whimsy and elegance to the cake display and ensures that your bouquets remain a focal point throughout the reception. The bouquets could be arranged in a variety of ways, such as a cascading waterfall or a circular halo, depending on the style and size of the cake. Add some cake flowers to create a cohesive floral look throughout the table space.

2. Cocktail Hour & Reception Enhancements

Welcome Sign & Seating Chart Decor

Use floral arrangements to enhance signage, such as the welcome sign, seating chart, or guestbook table. It adds a thoughtful touch and ties in with your floral theme. Those floral swags or meadows you used for your ceremony would be perfect on the floor flanking these displays. 

Photo Booth Backdrops

Create a stunning photo backdrop by incorporating repurposed florals into the setup. Whether draped over an arch or placed around a vintage frame, flowers enhance photo moments for guests. Garlands and Floral Runners would be our go-to for decorating the perfect photo opp!

3. Post-Wedding 

Host a Farewell Brunch

Picture this: it’s the morning after your wedding, and you and your bridal party are craving a delicious meal and a refreshing iced latte. Why not celebrate in style and host a farewell brunch?

Repurpose your wedding décor for a budget-friendly and chic brunch setting! Reuse your centerpieces, garland, and table decor to transform your brunch venue into an extension of your wedding aesthetic. This not only saves you money but also adds a touch of elegance and sentimentality to your post-wedding celebration.

As a newly engaged couple, wedding planning is likely in full swing. With each decision you make, one big question looms: How much do wedding flowers cost? It seems like a straightforward question, but the answer varies greatly depending on several factors. On average, experts recommend allocating 8-10% of your wedding budget to flowers. However, this estimate can fluctuate based on your choices.

Let’s explore what variables in the cost of wedding flowers and how silk flowers can offer a stunning, budget-friendly alternative without compromising on quality.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Wedding Flowers

As a newly engaged couple, you’re weeks into wedding planning and as you confirm more selections for your wedding day your budget begins to close in on you. And so comes the most basic floral question - "How much do wedding flowers cost?". It seems like a pretty simple question, expected to be followed by a rather simple response. But not so much so! Determining the cost of wedding flowers varies greatly from couple to couple. The rule of thumb budget suggests 8% of the total wedding budget is expensed to flowers, but that rule is easily broken by various factors and considerations.

Fresh or Silk Flowers?

Are you considering fresh flowers, or are you open to premium silk wedding flowers? Fresh flowers often come with significant costs due to labor, seasonality, and availability. For instance, a winter wedding with fresh peonies or ranunculus could quickly escalate your floral expenses.

Seasonality

Seasonal blooms are typically more affordable, but if your chosen flowers are out of season, expect to pay a premium. Similarly, getting married near floral-heavy holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day can further increase costs.

Ceremony and Reception Needs

From bridal bouquets to elaborate ceremony arches and reception centerpieces, the number of arrangements required will impact the overall cost. Additionally, if fresh florals require professional installation, labor fees will be added to your bill.

The Benefits of Silk Wedding Flowers

If spending thousands of dollars on flowers that will wilt by the end of the day makes you uneasy, consider a smarter solution: silk wedding flowers. At Something Borrowed Blooms, we offer premium silk flowers that look real, smell delightful, and are always in season. Here’s a breakdown of the average cost savings:

The cost difference is jaw-dropping! By choosing to rent premium silk flowers, you can achieve the same elegant look while saving thousands of dollars.

Tips for Saving on Wedding Flowers

Mix Fresh and Silk Flowers

If fresh flowers are a must-have, consider combining them with silk flowers. Many couples use fresh flowers for personal arrangements, like the bridal bouquet, while relying on silk florals for decor. The seamless blend of fresh and silk flowers creates a cohesive, stunning aesthetic.

Below, SBBlooms Insider, Samantha opted to carry a fresh floral bridal bouquet for herself and use decor products from the Eloise Collection for a gorgeous fresh and silk combo!

Start with a Preview Pack

Not sure where to begin? Order a Preview Pack from Something Borrowed Blooms. Choose two bridesmaid bouquets or centerpieces to see the colors and styles in person. Plus, enjoy $20 in reward points to apply toward your wedding order of $65 or more.

Affordable Reception Flowers

Reception flowers can quickly become one of the biggest expenses in your wedding budget. Elaborate fresh floral installations, such as arches or lush garlands, often cost thousands due to high labor and material costs. However, silk flowers offer a stunning, affordable alternative that’s easy to set up and budget-friendly.

At Something Borrowed Blooms, we provide a wide range of centerpiece options, including grand centerpieces, that pair beautifully with our collection of custom garlands, floral meadows, and floral swags.

3. Fruits and Vegetables in Wedding Decor

Move over traditional florals—2025 is bringing a fresh take on wedding tablescapes with the use of fruits and vegetables in décor. This bold yet timeless trend adds texture, color, and a touch of organic charm to any setting. Imagine lush tablescapes adorned with rich-hued figs, artichokes, plums, and sprigs of greenery, creating a feast for the eyes before the meal even begins.

Incorporating produce into your wedding design not only amplifies the visual appeal but also introduces a sense of abundance and warmth. Paired with elegant details like gold flatware and taper candles, fruits and vegetables effortlessly elevate the tablescape into a work of art.

On the left, our Cameron Collection is beautifully complemented by vibrant fruits like grapefruits, pears, kiwis, and green grapes, seamlessly enhancing the colors of the floral arrangement. On the right, a single slice of orange paired with bright bougainvillea petals and lush greenery adds a fresh and distinctive touch, proving that even small details can elevate your wedding decor.

4. Dreamy Drapery Installations

Drapery is embracing a whimsical and romantic vibe for 2025 weddings, with soft, gauzy fabrics adorning ceilings and walls to create ethereal, dreamlike settings. Celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss highlights this trend, saying, “Draping with pick-ups creates a romantic and billowy effect that’s much more dynamic than straight lines.”

At Something Borrowed Blooms, our ready-to-use decor and floral accents make it effortless for couples to incorporate this enchanting trend into their special day. For example:

- SBBlooms Insider, Karley, showcased the dreamy drapery aesthetic beautifully through her ceremony arch adorned with floral swags and large centerpieces.

- Cascading ribbons on bridal bouquets and airy drapery installations create a magical, cohesive look that embodies this 2025 trend.

5. Cake Meadows and Vignettes

Dessert displays are flourishing in 2025, with cake meadows and vignettes stealing the spotlight as stunning centerpieces. Influencer Marlo Veillon set the perfect example by adorning her cake table with lush garlands like the Jane Garland and Premium Pink Cherry Blossom Garland. Highlights include:

Floral meadows: Large, stand-alone arrangements available in select collections that can be effortlessly placed in front of your cake table to craft a blooming meadow effect.

Garlands: Artfully draped and intertwined garlands create a seamless, cohesive design to elevate your cake display.

Wedding Planner uses Kate Collection at Fall Wedding

@canyonmoonphoto

Every wedding we’re a part of tells a unique love story, and Samantha and Bradley’s day was no exception. From their charming small-town beginnings to the vibrancy of their wedding day, this couple’s journey has inspired us. Today, we’re thrilled to share their story, florals, and details to show how Something Borrowed Blooms brought their vision to life.

The Planning

Samantha and Bradley’s love story began in a quaint Texas town with one blinking yellow light. They met as schoolmates, though it took years for their romance to blossom. Fast forward to their first date, an effortless conversation that lasted hours, and Samantha knew Bradley was the one. Together, they built a home, adopted two adorable fur babies, and embarked on their journey to forever.

As the owner of Raylee Jo Events, Samantha planned her wedding with ease, booking all vendors within 60 days. She envisioned a bold, elegant design with vintage charm, prioritizing budget and sustainability. Initially drawn to fresh flowers, Samantha found they couldn’t deliver the vibrancy she wanted within her budget—making Something Borrowed Blooms the perfect solution.

The Blooms

For Samantha, wedding flowers were more than just décor—they were deeply symbolic. Initially drawn to a local florist, she realized that fresh flowers couldn’t achieve the vibrancy she wanted without exceeding her budget. Discovering Something Borrowed Blooms was a game-changer.

When the Kate Collection launched weeks before her wedding, Samantha knew it was meant to be. The collection featured stunning sprigs of larkspur, her late brother’s birth flower, making it a sentimental and perfect choice. She swapped her original Kinsley order for Kate and never looked back.

Samantha loved the concept of renting flowers, not only for the cost savings but also for the sustainability aspect. Knowing she could eventually purchase her bridal bouquet as a keepsake sealed the deal.

The Details

Samantha’s bridal party was a vision of elegance. Her bridesmaids wore different shades of blue silk dresses, complementing the vibrant hues of their Kate Collection bridesmaid bouquets. The groomsmen embraced a classic, rustic style in neutral beige suit coats and cowboy hats, while standing out with Kate boutonnieres—a subtle yet striking nod to the wedding’s floral theme.

The couple’s ceremony space was adorned with Kate floral meadows and beautiful floral columns, effortlessly created with garlands from the Kate Collection. The set-up was not only a stunning backdrop for their vows but also served a dual purpose. After the ceremony, the arches were moved behind the bridal party table at the reception, creating a cohesive design that carried through the day. Large and vaseless Kate centerpieces were placed throughout the reception on dining tables.

The Review

Samantha describes her experience with Something Borrowed Blooms as “seamless.” The website made it easy to find exactly what she needed, and the team was helpful in ensuring her order was just right. When her flowers arrived, she and her maid of honor checked the inventory, fluffed the arrangements, and prepared everything for the big day.

Reflecting on her choice, Samantha said, “Using Something Borrowed Blooms was the absolute best decision for our wedding florals. It was cheaper, more sustainable, and so easy to return. I’ll be telling all my friends and future brides about SBBlooms!”

Congratulations to the happy couple—may your love continue to grow and bloom!
