Who We Are
Our Story
A Language Written in Petals
I believe that flowers do more than just fill a room—they hold the heartbeat of a moment. They are the silent witnesses to the "I do," the soft exhale of a celebrated milestone, and the beauty that lingers in the memory long after the candles are blown out. I realized early on that nature doesn’t need to be forced into a box; it just needs to be listened to. My mission is to translate your story into a living, breathing landscape that feels as honest as the love it celebrates.
Roots in the Quiet Moments
My journey into event design didn't follow a traditional path. I traded the prospects of teaching elementary school, the structured classroom walls, and the allure of summer breaks for a world filled with wild stems and a life fueled by three cups of coffee. It was a transition from the predictable to the organic and wild world of floral design. This evolution taught me that the most breathtaking displays aren't manufactured; they are cultivated. I brought the heart of an educator with me: the patience to nurture an idea and the belief that every client has a unique story to tell.
The Grace in the Imperfect
The life of a florist looks incredibly glamorous from the outside, but the reality is beautifully gritty. It’s a world of lost hours of sleep, "florist hands" marked by countless scars from misplaced snips, and the constant discovery of stray leaves and decomposing petals in the floorboards of my car. But in that mess, I found my vulnerability. I’ve learned to stop looking for the factory-pressed ideas and instead look for the branch that twists toward the light. There is a profound grace in the imperfect, and I bring that raw, unpolished honesty into every installation I build.
Artistry Cultivated by Hand
This is my promise to you: I will never give you a "template" wedding. I believe that flowers are a medium to tell a story, and no two stories are ever the same. Every arrangement I create is as unique as the next, mimicking the untamed beauty of the world around us. These are earth-forward designs, born from a deep respect for the seasons and an even deeper respect for your journey. Whether we are transforming a grand venue or creating an intimate bouquet, I am pouring my history, my scarred hands, and my heart into every stem.
The A-Z’s of
The Process
01
The Meet "cute"
You have just filled out our Contact Form and scheduled a connect call. In our Connect Meeting, we dive in, we meet one another and do a little bit of a "Vibe Check" but really I just want to get to know you and your partners story, how you met, what you both enjoy and then we will dive into your wedding, the vision and dream for your special day.
02
Creator at Work
After our connect call, I will follow-up with any questions I may have missed. But this next step is all on me, I get the joy and pleasure of putting together a personalized mood board as well as a custome estimate for your wedding. Once I have finished both, you will recieve both items to review.
03
Follow-up
With some time, I'll reach out again to see how things have turned out for both of you after having some time to review both items and any other inquiries. Since we’ve sent you an initial draft, there’s bound to be some editing and possible modifications to the design. This is our call and check-in to discuss those things. If everything goes well, we’ll end with a discussion of the next steps, with the goal of moving forward with our services.
04
Green Light
With a green light, we are thrilled to be on board with you and your partner to create a true masterpiece for your wedding day. You will make an initial payment, sign our contract form, and then we will schedule any additional meetings if desired until your mid-way connect call. But until then, the hard part is over—choosing! Now, the fun begins :)
05
Design Meeting and Check-ins
Midway and at the very end of the project, we will conduct a fewvdesign meetings to discuss the overall aesthetic and desired look for specific items of your wedding. Additionally, during our final check-in, before final payments are made, we will review every line item to ensure accurate counts, ensuring a smooth setup on the day of the wedding.
