winter roadtrips

February 13, 2017 Anne van Midden
winter roadtrips / inspire styling

More Winter scenes in my journal today, because last weekend was all about snow and roadtrips. I made a venue visit in Belgium with Tonke on Friday. Seven hours in the car together and we didn't even bring 90's songs.. something definitely went wrong there. We did bring 2 bags full of snacks. Seriously, we could have hosted a small party with the amount of food we brought. Next time we'll do just that! 

Anyway, the wedding at this venue will be sooo good, I can't wait for June to come! Uhm no, I can wait. With pleasure, because it started snowing again this weekend. Stefan and I strolled through the forest and I squeaked of joy at every corner. Oh Winter, please stay a while ♥

A wedding inspired by a dusty Australian roadtrip: dried grasses (that could be swaying in the wind if it wasn’t an indoor ceremony ;)), rust colored details, native greens and a whole lotta love! A pretty good kick-off for the 2019 season.. 🙌🏻 See more of this March wedding on my blog now! link in bio

Who inspires you? I would love to know! It doesn’t matter if it’s your friend, someone famous, a local entrepreneur or someone new every week. Finding people that motivate you to create the best version of you and of your work is priceless! My favorites? First: my flower fairy godmother, the amazing and generous @ponderosa_and_thyme. Check out the last days of her 30 days of instagram live! And if you’re like me and can’t get enough, join the Ponderosa Classroom online. 💛 Another flower magician: @soilandstem. I love her foam free and natural approach to flower design. I bought every single one of her courses because I’m a nerd and want to learn every single thing she teaches. ✨ @nectar_and_bloom is my current (professional) crush. I caught a live video where she talked about letting go of perfectionism and taking care of yourself. While making an awesome dried flower bouquet! It was everything I needed to hear at that moment. I live how she combines flowers with words and her kind & honest talks. ⠀⠀ ✨ There are a lot more people that deserve a mention, I will share them in my stories today! ⠀⠀ Who are your favorite people? Share below so we can all find some new inspirators :) ⠀⠀ Photo by @storiesbydeepa, my signature pants&boots on set 🌿
This feed and my stories are growing more and more into an online garden. And I love it! What helps in sharing more flowers is the garden that surrounds (well almost) our new house. Stefan did the math this weekend: it’s 365m2! A square meter for every day of the year. And that is how much time&maintance it takes too haha! We gained a new hobby ;) Since the key exchange in November we are discovering the beauty our little private park has to offer. We started with the beautiful Japanese maples in the fall, then snowdrops, crocusses, magnolia, cherry blossom in early Sping. We are now saying goodbye to the wisteria, lilacs and the carpet of lilies of the valley. But only to welcome a feast of rododendrons and roses! I feel really priviliged and happy here and very lucky to be able to grab ingredients for flower work from our own garden! It doesn’t get more local then these flowers 🙌🏻💚 #rightnowinmygarden #ayearinflowers #week21flowers
Thank you for the overwhelming love on my last post. You are awesome! With all those new followers it’s time for a little who’s who! So here are 10 things you may not know about me: 1 • For those of you that are really new here: We spent 5 months renovating this house and moved in on March 29. If you want (and have time) you can check out my 5 part highlights about everything we did (a lot!) 💪🏻 2 • I studied styling&design and started my business about 5 months after graduation. 7 years ago this October, eek!! I didn’t really think about it, but it was the best decision! Even though it is hard&stressful AF sometimes. Worth it. 3 • So far I have styled&flowered dozens of photoshoots, a handful of filmsets, 22 weddings, 14 gatherings/events and a few interiors. (and in my beginning years I designed 3 books and did some other graphic design/illustration gigs, but just forget about that). 4 • I can’t say ‘forget about it’ without the Mickey Blue Eyes accent. Same goes for ‘I know!’, copied that from Friends’ Monica, haha! 5 • I’m a self-thaught flower designer. The first bouquet I made was far from good. But at the time, it was. And I was proud. The very fact I don’t like it anymore tells me I learned a lot since then. 6 • My ultimate dream is a room filled with kittens that I can cuddle all day. 7 • Since our trip to Borneo me&my husband changed our lives & eating habits for the better (read about it on my blog, search for borneo). We are definitely tree huggers and can’t think of any other way to live this life. 🌍 8 • The most listened to tracks on my spotify are from the Greatest Showman and Jason Mraz. Living in the Moment is our wedding song :) (PS: going to Hugh Jackmans show tonight, aaah! Fangirl, no shame) 9 • I don’t have a favorite flower. Impossible. Although wild poppies and fluffy dandelion head are something else! 10 • Leaving number 10 up to you! What do you want to know about me? Ask away in the comments! 👋🏻💛
Whimsical wisteria & lilac cloud. No water, no foam, no lasting piece. I made this just for the fun of creating it. And with a thriving garden, it didn’t hurt my bank account either ;) 💜 PS: now trying to get Purple Rain out of my head 🎶 #inspirestylingstudio PPS: for a better look at the vase arrangement: see post in my grid!
Mother’s Day is around the corner. All the florists I love so much are sharing their bouquets. But it’s the one day I wish I could fast forward until it’s over. I never share this but I’m sure there are more people that feel like me. The women that want to be a mom but can’t, the women that are a mom but are struggling to be one, the people that lost a mother and the ones like me.. that have a mother but don’t feel like they do. I’m not sharing any details of my story but for everyone that is struggling with this day: know that you are not alone! You never are. This year has one silver lining though: it’s my ‘little’ sisters first Mother’s Day ❤️ Much love for all of you! #35mm
I was writing a story about how far we’ve come with this house but then I deleted it all because I said it a thousand times already. So here is a photo of our living room. Without any good words. Just because I love this space and maybe you’ll like it too! It’s not finished but a home never is 💫 #our1968home
I donated this bouquet of dried flowers to the auction of @trueartofgiving. I am very proud to be part of this collective of brands, makers & shops that are trying to master the art of giving. 100% of the auction will be donated to @because_we_carry, so place your best bid on anything you like! There is loads of beautiful products and wonderful experiences available so have a good look. Bidding ends May 8, 0:00! #trueartofgiving #becausewecarry
