MY LIL MARIGOLD
my friend jesse recently had a wedding and the only flowers there were her favorites: marigolds. her bouquet and also piles of them on the tables at the reception with neon signs lighting them up. it was cool. lately i’ve been seeing these flowers more often, in a simple vase at a cute cafe, and it makes me wonder if marigolds are cool now?? it’s sure looking that way.
in India, people festoon temples with beautiful garlands of marigolds, then meditate in the fragrant atmosphere. i’ve always been inspired how they are used in indian weddings as well. this took me down a marigold rabbit hole. follow me…
what do ya say? can you get into it?

Such pretty pics!
your post reminded me of the Indian movie “Monsoon Wedding”. Watch it, if you haven’t..Its lovely and comforting on a lazy/cold day..
Always my favourite flower x
Don’t forget Dia de los Muertos – lots of marigold!
I think I just realized my new found love for marigolds!
