• Can you give me your honest opinion? Here’s my problem: I’m not gonna lie…I’m struggling to find the perfect spot in my new studio where the sun brings in the right amount of natural light & a neutral wall that makes all these bouquets pop! For you, do you prefer a neutral background like the pic above, so you can see the bouquet, or do you like when they’re being held by the bride we designed it for? Your input would be really helpful and ease some of my worries to know what you prefer to see 😅 * Picture I took in my old studio *

  • How many types of greenery can you spot in this boutonnière? 🌿 Tell me below…Answer in the comments. When I write out recipes for clients, they may get nervous seeing “all these ingredients” in their boutonnières. For us, they’re just reminders of all the texture and interest we want to give to the piece. Even the smallest details deserve big attention…especially when it’s for the groom 😉

  • Two of my favorite (among many) spots we flowered at the beautiful @hollyhedgeestate this weekend. This venue gave me all the garden party meets estate vibes. You walked into this space and felt transported to another time, another place. It was truly such a treat to design here. More pics & videos to come…but more so I can’t wait for the professional pics from @bartlettpairphotography 😍

  • Now that I got you looking with this show-stopping design from the @therylandinn …. Let’s kick this Thursday off with some ✨positivity✨ What’s one “win” you had this week? Comment below ⬇️ but I’ll tell you mine… For me, it was riding a bike after 10+ years and a whole lotta fear that kept me from riding…crazy sounding, I know right? But that little “win” means that the world has gotten a little bigger, and a little better. “Wins” don’t always need to be big or “Instagram worthy” news to share, so if you had a win but don’t want to share it, can you comment a 🎉 so I can celebrate your win, whatever it may be?

  • Real talk: our 2022 calendar is basically full. Crazy, I know. For us, quality, attention to detail, and next-level customer service and support for our couples is our goal. It’s what makes us different from everyone else. It also allows for me to fill my creative cup and pour my heart and soul into each wedding we do. And that’s how I like it. Each couple gets our A-team that’s been working and planning for the year plus with me on each client's design...and we like it that way. If you have a meeting scheduled or are waiting to hear back from us, don’t worry we’ll get you a design/update/etc back to you ASAP. But to all my couples that book us YEARS in advance. Thank you 🙏🏻 We’ll announce when we’re opening our 2023 calendar.

  • Swooning over this sneak preview from last week's wedding at @therylandinn 😍 Esther and Albert are the kindest, most compassionate people and I’m so thankful we could bring their wedding dreams to life! They truly had the most perfect day (and weather!) What I have learned lately as our season kicks it into full gear is that despite all the chaos in the world, two things will always hold: 1. Love always prevails...through pandemics, rescheduling, and all the obstacles that so many couples have been thrown. 2. Kindness will always get you further! As the world reopens so many industries are facing complications, shortages, and other hurdles in “getting back to business”. But the clients that appreciate and understand how hard we're hustling behind the scenes, to make their days perfect, are truly so valued.
