Poem of Petals

The most beautiful wedding gallery arrived in our inbox. 🤍

Florals: Poem of Petals

Venue: The Weeden House

Looking back, it’s interesting to see how a plan was unfolding long before we realized it.

Then and now.

Between these two photos were many years of pursuing an education, growing a career, nurturing a family, and learning to serve others well.

Poem of Petals came after years growth, and experiences that shaped the way I see beauty, people, and celebration.

If you’re new here and wondering who is behind Poem of Petals, I’m Markesha—a wife, mother, believer, gardener, and floral designer.

Poem of Petals turns three this summer.

I’m glad you’re here. 🤍

Ciao, Summer. 🍋
Birthday florals for Erica’s Amalfi Coast–inspired celebration.

A little wild. A little whimsical. Celebrating the Patels’ little adventurer with florals and design by Poem of Petals.

A sweet reminder that adventure doesn’t end with childhood. 🌿🦒

The final images are always beautiful, but getting there takes creativity, time, ladders, buckets, mechanics, and a lot happening behind the scenes. Just a few moments from the process.

Motherhood, always.

Early mornings and late nights.
The best days
and the challenging ones.
Sports days.
Sick days.
Celebrating and correcting.
At four and forty.
In the present and in memories.

Prayers never expire.
Prayerful on my knees,
quick on my feet.

Blessed to mother
and be mothered.
