We hope we peaked your interest with our funky, bright color wedding flowers, but we hope you stick around for the heart and passion that goes into the work we do.
Mutual respect and kindness. Always.
LGBTQIA+ love is joyfully celebrated, respected, and honored.
Eco-friendly practices. More on that below.
Transparency, honesty, and open communication.
Intentionality.
Quality > quantity.
Healthy boundaries and work/life balance.
Supporting other small, local businesses.
Paying and caring for our freelancers generously and fairly.
Zero pushy sales tactics. We want you to book vendors you connect with.
We will always respect your budget. We have minimums so we can be transparent about what we personally need to make for our business, and you'll never be encouraged to spend more than you feel good about. (And if we're out of your budget range, there's not an ounce of judgement here. Let me know if you want a referral!)
Making this part of wedding planning fun and easy.

During peak growing season, this averaged closer to 94%.
local flower growers
Throughout 2024, we spent over
of our wedding flower budgets with
80%
Flowers are seasonal, and it's one of our favorite things about our craft.
We source as many of our flowers and foliage as possible from local flower farms. We know many of these farmers on a personal level, and we love supporting responsibly grown flowers from small business owners. Many of these flower farms are also woman-owned, minority-owned, and queer-owned--which we love supporting even more!
Do we ever use imported or shipped product? Yes, but minimally and strategically.
If you don't know, around 80% of cut flowers sold in the United States are imported. When we're that far removed from the flowers, there are a lot of factors that come into question: quality/age, if they treat/pay their employees fairly, what kinds of pesticides are present, and the carbon footprint of that bunch of flowers.
Now, not every state in the country can grow flowers in abundance, but on the west coast, we really do have full advantage. We don't take that for granted.
If you're ready to move forward with booking, we will send you a contract and invoice for your deposit. Only after contract is signed and deposit is paid do we officially reserve your wedding date.
After you're booked, it will be a really easy process. We'll do all the heavy lifting (literally and metaphorically) for you.
We will put together a design proposal and initial quote based on our consultation call. I'll email you with these files for you to review. If you feel it's a good fit, we can move into the booking process!
When we reply to let you know of our availability, we will also include a link to schedule your consultation call. We most often offer phone and video calls (based on your preference). We'll chat about what you're looking for, your style, your colors, what you want the day to feel like, and what arrangement types you're currently interested in. If you're unsure on any/many of those topics, we can help!
Once we've gotten some details about your event, we will make sure we have availability for the service type you're most likely needing, and we'll make sure it feels like an excellent fit. You will get a reply ASAP (typically within 48 hours on business days). If we are booked, we will send you our florist recommendations.
Our auto-response email will link you to our intake questionnaire where you can take a moment to think through what details you'd like us to know initially. Keep in mind, you don't have to have all the answers!
Fill out our quick and easy inquiry form to get the process started. You'll get an auto-response right away!

My approach to floral design is consistently non-traditional.
It is contemporary and a bit avant-garde.
It's playful and imaginative.
There's movement and negative space.
It is often asymmetrical, and it is never tightly structured.
I am heavily inspired by color, texture, flower types, and, of course, my clients' personalities.
Flowers are one of the few things in life that ignites an unfiltered, childlike joy for me. I think when you find something like that, you have to explore it...you have to surround yourself with it.
In the last few years, I've been working a couple days per week on a local flower farm that I source a huge portion of my flowers from. This has given me an even deeper appreciation for my medium, and it has also fueled my passion for eco-friendly wedding flower practices.
The seasonality is truly a beautiful thing, and I am constantly inspired as we flow from spring to fall flowers. You can rest assured that I'm sourcing the freshest, most lovingly grown local flowers for your unique design.
