Ok OMG. Kyle Robino did the most gorgeous flowers for me for a recent tea party at my house. I have decided that giving her direction of any kind is not necessary, and in fact, is my new favorite thing.

I mean I always love what she does for me, even when I give her a color theme, or tell her exactly what I want. But the bottom line is, I don't know what half the stuff in this arrangement is even called. I would have no idea how to ask for it. And I wouldn't dream of putting some of this stuff in a flower arrangement. 

But what she chooses, what she puts together, is magic. I mean this woman knows what she's doing. A true talent I tell you. 

I had a hard time knowing what to serve at a tea from 4pm-6pm. I am not a formal "tea" person, but I didn't want to serve wine... I decided to go with a Mulled Hot Cider, and for something fun, I did Pomegranate Spritzers for something cold and refreshing... After all, it's been in the 50's and 60's in Omaha all month! SO weird.
