Yoga in the Lavender Fields
Date: June 3rd
Class begins 9:30am. 10:30am pour.
The smell of lavender activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part of our nervous system responsible for relaxation. When this part of the brain is activated, it can calm you down and decrease somatic (physical) symptoms of anxiety. Now, combine the lavender aroma with a relaxing yoga class in the middle of the lavender field -it’s the perfect combination. Studio You Yoga and Dollie’s invite you to join us for this session, filling your senses with the aroma of fresh lavender while concentrating on your breathing to change the physiology of your body. After class enjoy a Lavender Mimosa while you cut your own lavender right out of the field. Breath deep & find your Peaceful Place in a field of lavender. Price $40.

Weddings
Wedding Flowers
We love to design flowers for our Brides… Email blooms@dolliesfarm.com with your ceremony date. We will set a time for you to visit the farm and choose any specific colors or flowers you are interested in using in sprays, bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. If you aren’t flower specific, that works too… we promise to use what looks best in the field on the date of your wedding that fits into your color palette and style. So, have no fear if you feel like you don’t know flower names, you don’t need to. That’s what you have us for!
Some of our brides enjoy setting a Bride’s Bouquet event at Dollie’s. The wedding party is treated to a glass of wine or lavender lemonade depending on the Bridal Package purchased, while walking the fields as the Bride chooses the flowers she desires in the bouquet. Testimonies from this experience range from “this was the most relaxing part of my bridal week”, “I am so glad we did this, walking the lavender fields took all my stress away”, “it was so fun having my bridesmaids and my mom help choose the flowers as we walked the fields together”. Bride’s Bouquet Events include a gift of lavender products for the Bride.
