Every wedding day begins with a plan.  I make my plans visual, summing it up on one page in hopes to capture the full picture that is in my mind.  I always start with this this summery or mood board.  This sets the tone and gives us a grounded place keeping our planning on track, […]

Greenery, calligraphy, winery.  The three key words that best describe the wedding day of Jarvie and Hank – which will be in my journal tomorrow.  But before I share the wedding in its entirety, I’d like to give a little behind the scenes of what went into the planning and design of the day.

For everything. Flowers, linens, dresses, ties – everything! I don’t know where this […]

I am so grateful and beyond excited for the opportunity to follow my PASSION for flowers and offer romantic, garden style blooms to my design services.  This May, my travels will take me to North Carolina to attend Philosophy Flowers’s workshop where I hope to hone some of my floral skills.  Flowers make me feel […]
