The quickest way to ruin a Saturday is expecting him to read your mind. 

I remember in our dating days (and early in our marriage, too) I used to get this deep, brewing, icky feeling of disappointment when Jamiahus didn’t somehow magically know exactly how I wanted to spend our day off together. 

It felt like if it wasn’t his idea, with no help from me, then that was somehow an indication of his love for me. 

Please learn from my mistakes: IT’S NOT. 

Our brains and hearts all work so differently. Unless you are partnered up with an exact carbon copy of yourself (unlikely) chances are they aren’t operating inside of a romantic comedy where the male hero knows just what to say and do at just the right moment. That’s not real life.

Unprompted surprises are great, but explicitly asking for a beautiful Saturday morning is just as romantic (and way more reliable). 

So, if you’re staring at your screen right now wishing for a romantic, offline weekend... this is your sign to just tell him!

Send this post to your partner as a not-so-subtle hint, and come see us at the Aurora Farmers Market this Saturday (from 8am to 12pm)! We'll have the bouquets ready for you.

You shouldn't have to choose between blowing your budget on a $5k minimum or crying over a DIY Pinterest-fail on your wedding morning.

​A La Carte wedding florals give you the high-end, professionally designed looks you actually want (hello, dream bridal bouquet!), without paying for the massive installations you don't. Swipe to see the breakdown. ✨

Thinking about DIYing your wedding flowers? Read this first. 👇

​You shouldn't have to choose between blowing your budget on a massive floral minimum or stressing over a DIY Pinterest-fail on your wedding morning.

​While taking the DIY route can definitely save money, the hidden cost usually hits right around 8:00 AM on your wedding day. Flowers are heavy, fragile, and require water. Playing Tetris in the back of an SUV with sloshing buckets while trying to keep white petals pristine is the absolute last thing you (or your mom, or your bridesmaids) should be doing in your silk robes.

​Enter: The A La Carte Menu.

​I designed this service for the bride who wants stunning, professionally designed, garden-style blooms—without the $5,000 full-service price tag, and without the DIY nightmare.

​You pick exactly what you need from the menu, and I professionally pack and safely deliver it right to your venue. You just show up, look beautiful, and get married.

​Want to see the options?

Hi, I’m Dana! 👋 I am the farmer, florist, and the hands in the dirt behind Walton Family Flowers.

I will never forget the day I stood in my market booth at 11:00 AM surrounded by completely empty buckets. I had sold out early, and my immediate reaction was pure panic.

“Oh my gosh, people are going to be mad! What if someone gets here right now expecting a bouquet?!”

But guess what? No one was mad. Disappointed they missed the blooms? Sure. But deeply encouraging and supportive of this small business? 1000%. People cheered me on and promised to come earlier the next week.

It made me realize something important: you aren't just showing up to my tent for a pretty centerpiece. You are showing up for what the flowers do for you.

Do you ever feel like your brain just won’t turn off?

I have been there. Between raising four kids and running a flower farm in my yard, I know what it feels like when the noise is loud and the screen time is just too high.

My best advice? Buy yourself flowers.

At Walton Family Flowers, we grow flowers specifically to help you slow down. When you bring home a bouquet, trim the stems, and arrange them in a vase, it forces you away from the screens and right into the present moment.

Let them slow you down, so you can finally feel grounded and at peace.

If you need an excuse to unplug and reset this weekend, come find me at the Aurora Farmers Market on Saturday mornings from 8 AM to 12 PM.

I’ll be the one handing you your weekend reset. (Just maybe come before 11 😉).

👉 Tell me in the comments—what is your favorite way to slow down on a Saturday? 👇
