The main thing here our photos are not doing our ‘flower garden’ justice. We needed our excellent Wedding Photographer, Emily Mar, of Warrenton, Va, to show off the beauty of our wedding flowers!

OUR FOCUS SCRIPTURE:
“On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. (John 2:1-11 NIV)

Our flowers travelled from this absolutely beautiful wedding Venue in Aldie, Va to our front yard midnight on Saturday night where Jen, the caterer, again surprised The Daily Lily! This time not with flowers but a ‘garden of flowers’.
Upon awaking Sunday morning I had Gary out making a video, and we separated a few for a Birthday and an Anniversary. Then immediately arranging a time for Debi to pick up for their ride to ‘Academies of Loudoun’ for any conditioning needed and their walk in refrigeration to keep fresh. So grateful to have a space to work from, teach students and share.
I was able to sit among the garden flowers in my garden before they left to meditate, pray and give thought to their repurpose and then maybe repurpose again for dry arrangements. Some might yield seeds for birds, squirrel play and 2026 plantings.
I gave thought to our focus scripture, a wedding, water and wine. Just what does it mean, “Jesus turned water into wine?”
I read among other meanings, “it was symbolic of the arrival of the Messianic age, demonstrated Jesus’s ability to provide abundance and meet human needs, and foreshadowed his ultimate sacrifice.”
Let us Love one another as He loved us. (John 13:34)

What a ‘beautiful flower garden’ is woven throughout this blog, Sara, by your words, photos, Jen’s video, the links, the wedding info, the ‘focus scripture’ and all involved in Wine-Wedding-Flowers-TheDaily Lily-
I loved seeing the ‘‘beautiful flower garden’’ in her car tour that Jen provided…the stunning flowers from Lauren and Danny’s wedding coordinated by Caroline & Mary and Adeline.
It was a pleasure to read Emily Mar’s story and view her beautiful photographic work. And great to be able to virtually visit and learn about the Old Farm Winery at Hartland.
Reading the scripture about Jesus was inspiring and to learn that, “it was symbolic of the arrival of the Messianic age, demonstrated Jesus’s ability to provide abundance and meet human needs, and foreshadowed his ultimate sacrifice.” Jesus demonstrated how much He really cares about and is involved in our lives, our events, and our weddings! That really is glory!
Thank you, Sara, for sharing all this!
Thanks Debi for your many hours of work showing such respect, care and love for each flower. 🙏 You are the artistry of, “The Daily Lily’s flowers.
Debi emailed me last night a photo of her customink shirt to make me jealous with this message;
“Thought you might like to see this CustomInk shirt I received today from the Virginia Nursery and Landscape Assoc of which I am a member and VA Certified Horticulturist. Our students use their study materials and take the exam in April to also become certified.”

WOW, just WOW! All those gorgeous flowers!! 💐 🌺 🌹 and had them brought to you!😱🥰🩷💐
Tammy, I recently just happen to read this quote that was said to come from Prince Harry’s book, “Spare”;
“We met the Queen’s gardeners, got to know their names and the names of all the flowers. They thrilled at how much we appreciated, and praised, their artistry.”
The words about the gardeners, “their artistry” stayed with me like a little music tone.
When I saw all these unique flowers perfectly arranged in various settings, I thought this must be, the Kings Garden. I started naming the farmalier ones like a Rose, Eucalyptus and a few others with WOW’s now what?
Then I spotted the sweetest little, yes just the tinest, sprays of what I named sweet❤️ Daisies throughout each arrangement large and small speaking to me.
I have always loved the artistry of studying what each flower symbolizes and;
“Daisies often symbolize innocence, purity, and new beginnings. Their bright yellow centers and white petals evoke a sense of simplicity and clarity.”And much more. Look it up and smile!
Thanks to all involved and a big thank you to the florist also. (Hope to discover them)
The flowers are now on their journey of “repurpose” sharing. Their journey has just started. Prayers of peace, hope and love for and to all! Selah!
