Branding: Brynhill Flower Farm

It’s never not fun to brand a flower farm. Being passionate about growing flowers myself, I always find it interesting to talk with flower farmers about how they are growing, selling, and setting themselves apart. And I love to draw flowers about as much as I love to plant them.

Working with Haley and Missy of Brynhill Flower Farm in Prospect, Pennsylvania was a particularly fun time. This mother-daughter team had extensive expertise in growing, specifically in the nursery setting for landscaping - but were passionate about cut flowers and ready to start a wholesale floral business. They had vision, enthusiasm, and a great sense of humor about it all. We hit it off right away.

We wanted to create a strong sense of place with the logo and branding, showing where all these beautiful local flowers come from. The primary logo centers around their red barn, set deep amongst maples and gardens:

We developed a full brand from this scene, bringing together fun floral illustrations, hand lettering, and a jewel toned color palette to tell their full story.

Haley and Missy also produce maple syrup from the many maple trees on the farm. This little maple leaf sub logo is one of my favorite parts of the branding suite:

But my most favorite element is the repeat pattern - perhaps my favorite I’ve made! I just love these colors all together.

We got touched by our first frost over the weekend and I can’t believe this growing season is coming to a close - I’m not ready. Follow Brynhill for flower inspiration all year long - and if you’re in the Pittsburgh area, check out their gorgeous florals available wholesale through the Greater Pittsburgh Flower Collective! Thanks Haley and Missy for such a fun project!
