Advice from Kelly Acock

(Introduction written by Mary Carol Garrity of Nell Hills)....  When I first saw Kelly Acock's work I was captivated by her innovative approach to decorating with flowers, her unbridled enthusiasm, and her careful attention to her brides' wishes.  I asked her to share advice on how other brides could ensure their wedding flowers would be fabulous too.  A large part of your overall budget for the wedding might be spent on flowers, so it's imperative that you find the right person for you. 


 

Home decorating guru Mary Carol Garrity compares her techniques for transforming her own 130-year-old Greek revival fixer-upper to that of a bird building its nest—carefully selecting and layering all components twig by twig. In Nell Hill's Feather Your Nest: It's All in the Details each chapter focuses on nest-building basics for different areas of the home, from common spaces like foyers to private spaces like bedrooms. Garrity empowers readers to feather their own nests by developing a sense of personal style, emphasizing minor touches that make a major difference.

  • The Wall Street Journal has hailed Garrity as a "one-person economic-development force" in her hometown of Atchison, Kans. Garrity's stores have become landmarks in the decorating world. The Mary Carol Home Collection, an extensive line of home décor products is distributed nationwide by the Gerson Companies.
  • Garrity's three previous books have received coverage from CBS's The Early Show and NBC's Today show, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and more.
