Wisconsin Bride Blog Register | Search Local Flourishes Posted on: 10.8.2009 12:37:52 PM Posted by Jessie Houlihan A wedding, like any event, has an impact on the environment. Flowers that are grown in a different country or region and are flown in for your wedding have a larger carbon footprint that those that are grown regionally. By choosing locally grown flowers you can support your area’s economy and significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with your wedding.

For my wedding I chose to have the flowers and decorations reflect the region and the season of the wedding. Lucky for me Connie Glasheen from Kindred Spirits had the skills and expertise needed to make my vision a reality. We began our first meeting by talking about the colors I’m incorporating in my wedding, which are a deep plum and sage green. Next she showed me examples of what grows in Wisconsin during the fall that reflects those colors. We looked at several combinations and Connie helped me decide on arrangements that are both seasonal and completely locally sourced.

With Connie’s guidance, we designed several different table decorations, wreathes, corsages and bouquets that perfectly match the wedding’s themes. If you’re interested in talking to her about planning flower decorations for your wedding or event, she can be reached at her store, Kindred Spirits Organics, which is located on College Avenue in Appleton. For more information, please call 920.882.2123 or visit www.kindredspiritsorganics.com.

Thank you, Kris. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to be a part of Emily and Aaron's big day. It gave me such a sense of happiness and joy when I was creating the bouquets, knowing of the love and happiness they share. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of this. hugs, Connie

Connie, you did a fantastic job on the wedding flowers for Emily and Aaron's wedding yesterday! The colors just popped with the dresses. So many comments about how beautiful the flowers were; simple country elegance! Thank you so much. Placing the bouquests in vases and using them for decorations was great. We used them at the head table and then moved them upstairs to the dance area. Thank you for working your magic within our limited budget. The flowers arrived and were set up at least an hour before. The corsages were individually wrapped and labled taking the guesswork out of who gets what. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll send a picture soon!

Sincerely ,

Kris

Stop and smell the local roses at Kindred Spirits Organics, 10 College Ave. Order a bouquet of fresh flowers from the greater Appleton area. Stock your pantry with Great River Milling Organic flour from Fountain City and seasonal fresh veggies and fruit from local farms. Got a green thumb? Purchase your own tomato plant for some homegrown goodness. For a special treat, chat with owner and "mother" of the shop, Connie Glasheen. She may even let you try a piece of their delectable Australian black licorice. kindredspiritsorganics.com.

Connie,

Thank you so much for lending your kindness and creativity to my phone order. I will certainly support Kindred Spirits for any of my future 'flower' needs.

You won't believe how SWEET the owner, Connie, is! The first time I went into her shop I didn't want to leave! But, I had an eye appt. in the mall she is in so I had to...Connie & I talked and talked and we found so much in common. I felt like I had known her my whole life. The shop smelled of everything nice in the world. Talking to Connie made me realize there are STILL some BEAUTIFUL & COMPASSIONATE people left in the world. Her flowers filled the front of the store and I was shocked at how unique the bouquets were! If I ever got married, I would definitely pick Connie to do my wedding as she takes pride in her work and her joy of flower arranging shows in the unique displays she does. I am soooooo tired of seeing the same ole, same ole in flower arranging.I bought many different things as she has a little of everything...some vintage and thrift store items which I just love...and, at unbelieveable prices! I bought some handmade soaps which happened to be on sale which she does a lot! I left with a big bag full of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. YOU HAVE TO STOP IN HER SHOP TO BELIEVE WHAT I AM TELLING YOU. IT IS HEAVEN!
