Bloom Boom! 💐 Brought to you by Jayson Munn Design @jaysonmunndesign . A creative floral installation in one of our trash receptacles.
Don’t miss the chance to come see the beautiful display on the Marketplace🌷🪻🌻🌹🗑️
“In 2021, we brought The Shared Heart Project to Church Street - a large floral heart created as a public memorial in remembrance of loved ones lost to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was quiet, sincere, and grounded in collective feeling.
This year, I’ve returned with something louder: a trash can, overflowing with flowers - bright, unruly, a bit irreverent. It’s about joy in unexpected places. A reminder that beauty doesn’t need a special occasion or a frame to be worth noticing.
The Church Street Marketplace is the perfect place for that kind of moment. It’s a crossroads — full of energy, community, and constant motion. It’s where daily life happens. And that’s exactly where I wanted this piece to live: right here, out in the open, blooming for everyone.” -Jayson Munn
And a special thanks to @junefarm_ and @queencityflowers for their flower contributions💐
Anna Teresa’s wedding morning at Basin Harbor Club was filled with the kind of emotion that lingers. Getting ready surrounded by her family, there were tender first looks with her dad, her grandfather, and her brothers — quiet, tear-filled moments that felt sacred and unforgettable. She was radiant in her Vera Wang gown, which felt perfect for this occasion in elegance and heart. Everything led up to seeing Matt in one of the iconic Basin Harbor cabins.
Rain fell steadily outside, mingling with happy tears all day long — and somehow it only made everything more beautiful. All brought to life with the stunning florals and thoughtful planning of Jayson Munn Design.

Anna Teresa & Matt’s wedding at Basin Harbor Club was nothing short of unforgettable. Even with pouring rain, their joy never wavered—Anna Teresa radiant in her Vera Wang gown, Matt sharp in Tessuto.
As if on cue, the skies opened to reveal a breathtaking sunset over the treetops and Lake Champlain, a dramatic backdrop to an already beautiful day.
The night ended with a packed dance floor, powered by The Sultans—and in true rockstar fashion, performances by Anna Teresa & Matt. All brought to life with stunning florals and planning by Jayson Munn Design.
Thanks to my pal @jacquelynpotter for joining the team today!

Anna Teresa & Matt’s wedding weekend included the sweetest welcome party at Basin Harbor Club. Sunset over the mountains and lake, drinks flowing, and the dreamiest folk vibes from Honey Badger.
And because they’re that cool—Anna Teresa & Matt hopped on stage and played a set themselves. What a way to kick off the this Vermont wedding weekend!

Spring awakening! Like the first crocus pushing through the frost, I’m stepping into spring with renewed energy and a season full of possibilities. Winter has passed, and it’s time to bloom. Exciting things are on the horizon—stay tuned! 🌿✨
I have always been fascinated with tulips and these Estella Rynveld parrot tulips are no exception. We shared this design with the community in the park at Fort Ethan Allen as part of our ongoing series "Floral Art in The Park". Tulips and Spirea from @junefarm_ They are now offering Floral Designers and Florist locally grown tulips! Check them out! #slowflowers #farmflowers #tulip #vtgrown #floralart
