Weddings
Garden-inspired, whimsical, unique, seasonal, local
Long Lane Farm is a seasonal flower farm in north central Pennsylvania, 15 minutes from Williamsport. We specialize in field-grown flowers and creating garden inspired designs from our bounty! Our aesthetic is completely taken from what Mother Nature offers and we try to design in a way that honors how each flower and each stem of foliage was growing prior to harvest. If you’re looking for some whimsy, some movement, some picked-fresh-from-my-secrest-garden vibes, we might be for you!
For the longest time, I refused to do weddings. Why? is a multifaceted answer. I was working off the farm for the first five years of my business & didn’t have the time to commit, I was very focused on building the farm and maintaining quality not just increasing quantity. I had other avenues for my flowers that were consuming my efforts & I was also worried that I wouldn’t find the ‘right’ brides, the ones who value local flowers and care about where their flowers are coming from. Or that they wouldn’t understand how different it is to work directly with a grower who is also a designer. What I found is that not only are these brides out there, they are struggling to find what they’re looking for in our area.
The more my flower fields evolved the more my floral designs evolved and the more I was approached to do weddings. My answer continued to be: no. Then in the middle of my 5th season I left my full time job and committed to the farm full time. By the end of my 6th growing season, I had a bit of a change of heart. I was doing more and more design work and I was falling more in love with it. It was time to say YES!
I am so glad you are here. I look forward to learning more about you and your floral dreams for your big day!
What makes Long Lane Farm different?
I am a farmer-florist.
I grow 80-100% of the wedding flowers that I use & design with. These are the highest end flowers you could get from a wholesaler (where florists get their flowers).
These flowers are selected, sown, grown, harvested, and designed with YOU in mind.
When florists want high-end, quality flowers, they get them from us.
Are farm grown flowers a less expensive option? No. This is a common misconception. The time, investment, and labor to grow flowers of this caliber from seed all the way to your wedding day is indeed an undertaking on many levels. It’s what also makes this route so unique & so special. It’s not for everyone. It’s completely custom. From seed to vase.
Who is our ideal customer?
Someone who wants something different, something stunningly beautiful, seasonal, and one - of - a - kind.
If you’ve uttered garden, cottage, boho, dreamy, or whimsy in relation to your wedding floral dreams, we might be for you!
Someone who cares about the environmental aspect of what our farm offers: local, sustainably grown flowers that aren’t traveling hundreds or thousands of miles in dry boxes, or out of season.
Someone who is a bit on the carefree side.
What’s that mean? We grow our own flowers, bringing in other farm’s flowers only when we have to. This means that we do not have every single stem you might see on Pinterest. It also means that since we grow seasonally, we design seasonally.
Carefree also means having an in-depth discussion of your vision and color palette and trusting that your expectations will be exceed by our seasonal flowers, creativity, and attention to detail.
