Saipua Blog: Peaceful Passion
The Saipua design studio in Brooklyn is one piece of a floral trilogy that includes the World’s End flower farm, and the Little Flower School. The raw passion and hauntingly beautiful vision that drives all three of these projects — with the singular aim, it seems, of covering the state of New York with gorgeous flowers — is on display regularly at the Saipau blog.

Blog posts are not regular or themed. Most of the time there aren’t even titles. Very refreshing! Each one is about 75% visual masterpiece (the flowers and the photos of the flowers), 15% updates, and 10% stream-of-consciousness. In between snapshots of beautiful floral arrangements and behind-the-scenes candids, Ryhanen writes about weddings, their record collection, and peanut-butter sandwiches, and somehow it all fits together. There’s a lovely kind of melancholy that strings dark photo tones to personal musings and leaves the reader peaceful and inspired.
