These photos say it all 😍😍😍

The beautiful made me tear up a little when I finally got to see these incredible shots from 🫶🏻💗🔥

See I’m not just designing bouquets based on what is in season (although that is a pillar of my foundation). I’m not just designing based on what currently looks good (although I’m always selecting the best of the best). I’m definitely not designing based on a preconceived idea of what the design should be (rather I let the beauty of nature speak to me when it comes time).

I’m designing for the person who will receive it; carry it down the aisle as they step into their next chapter; and be able to look back on it for years to come, through stunning captures of moments in time.

I’m designing for a combination of factors. Between a vision shared with my clients and planners, the cream of the crop grown by local, talented flower farmers, and what I know will make a clients heart explode with surprise and delight.

Each delivery of a bridal bouquet fills me with so much glee, and excitement, and is by far my favorite reveal to experience for each event.

Gratitude to my clients who have trusted me to bring the magic to their day, through local, sustainable, and ephemeral blooms!!!

Burned the midnight oil the last couple of nights, servicing two beautiful weddings. Two beautiful couples. Two beautiful opportunities to remember how blessed I am to not only grow flowers, but to use them (along with stems from my fellow growers! 👊🏻💥) to create magic, wonder, and enchantment for my clients.

Mmmkay… I’m going to go lay down for a little while now 🫠

Porch petals are filling with the gems that are coming up to say hello!!! Spring is coming, and despite the incoming chilly storm, brighter days are just around the bend!!

Go get yourself some sunshine today!

Something about these mulberry shade has me head over heels!!!!

Practice makes PROGRESS, not perfection. I’m not perfect (really no one is), and I take the time to appreciate challenging, learning, working towards my end goal.

I relish in the nuance. I love a good quirky detail. I listen to what nature is telling me. Then I use it to create a harmony that sings to my people who love and adore taking cues from nature as much as I do.

Gratitude and love for all those who are along on this journey with me 💕

When I travel, I try to see other farmers. Support them in their endeavors. Ask them questions learn from them.

I could have gone to a lavender farm. I could have gone to a honey bee farm. Heck there is even a new butterfly farm on this island!

But I chose goats. 🐐

Why? Because I want to add them to my line up. Not for goat yoga. Not for grazing services, but for kids (🥁…see what I did there??).

See I’m envisioning a new phase of the farm. While I’m not ready to fully disclose this new dream, I am starting to talk about it so the universe knows I’m serious.

This vision would bring community, connection, and collaboration to the farm. It will be a sanctuary. A place for healing. A place for gathering. A place for celebrating.

So while my main focus is always, and will continue to be weddings, and flowers, I hope you’ll join me in summoning this enormous feat we’ve been working towards for well over a year now. And once we’ve arrived (soon… I hope…come on universe 🙏🏻) you’ll know… and I’ll be there to welcome you with open arms (and of course gorgeous flowers)

😘💐🫶🏻

2023 was so good!!! 🙌🏻🎉👏🏻

Each photo in my Top Nine brings back memories of exceptional clients, swoon worth blooms, and most importantly, the impact local and sustainable flowers have had on my client’s lives.

Each photo represent the honor to create for amazing my clients; clients who share my dreams of local flowers first; clients who want flowers designed to their curated unique style; clients who choose artistry over the same basic wedding blooms; clients who want to set themselves apart from the crowd; clients who fill me with more joy than they know, and leave a lasting imprint on my heart 💕

Thank you. Simply put, you all allow me to live this amazing dream, and I cannot articulate how much your support means to me 🫶🏻

Looking forward to serving my clients in 2024!!!

Wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Love…

That feeling that makes our tummies feel funny. The visceral, and deep connection between two individuals. The time when two souls are in complete harmony.

I adore intimate ceremonies. Time and space are held for the couple, and allows them to truly relish the moment they are sharing as they begin their new chapter.

If you’re looking to celebrate your moment, your connection, your space; accessorizing with local, sustainable flowers, designed to tell YOUR story.

Bookings 2024 elopements, micro weddings, and City Hall weddings are ALWAYS welcome.

I don’t often get a chance to work outside my typical style (last time was feather plume centerpieces about a year ago), but I adore the simplicity and elegance these succulents brought to K+S big day!

I know there is a bit of a discussion around who should decorate a cake, and for my clients, I ask them to choose. If they are confident their baker would represent their vision, great! If they are booking a baker that requires it, great! If they are indifferent, or their baker is, and they want me to do it, great!

I see all aspects of the wedding as art, and I’m proud of being able to work with all vendors collaboratively, and collectively. My number one goal, outside of providing amazing, locally sourced flowers grown by myself, and my other small (but mighty) fellow growers, is to assure my clients are happy.

My client’s wedding is *their* wedding, and I am here to serve their needs with unconditional support and let’s face it love - because somehow I seem to always fall in love with their stories, and them as people 🫶🏻

So if you’re on the hunt for someone who can tell your story through flowers; someone who genuinely cares about your vision; someone who sees you are people and not as another booking; and someone who deeply cares about supporting local flowers, grown by folks that have big hearts for what they do, then we might be a good match!

2024 dates are filling, and inquires are open for clients who want local, sustainable flowers designed with whimsy, romance, and magic!

This week’s hot weather brought me back to April in Scottsdale, when I had the incredible opportunity to learn and practice floral jewelry .

I distinctly recall my childish giddy dance when my designs were placed the ever stunning who’s infectious energy was captured by the ever so talented .

The immense amount of gratitude to have for all the collaborative farmers who grew all the incredible product for us to play with, cannot be stated. The gratitude I have for my fellow florists, farmer-florists, and ever inspiring for helping me when I got stuck; offering constructive course corrections, and creating an environment that not only supported, but propelled me forward in ways I could never have imagined.

It was a dream come true, even though I didn’t know it at the time, and I can’t wait to dive in to the possibilities of where my creativity will flow 💗🙏🏻🌸

When your florals compliment the concept. 💥👊🏻🫶🏻

Had a chance to design for a birthday party last weekend with a theme of Midsummer’s Night Dream.

The dreamy redwood location was the perfect venue for a private gathering, celebrating life, and love.

Thank you Mindy for allowing me to create whimsical designs from another world.

I’ve been under the weather the past few days, and felt compelled to make this moody and dramatic design for The Business Club today 🫣

Can you believe there are only 8 weeks of summer left???? Here in Santa Cruz, it feels like we missed all of spring, and summer has only just begun. Of course we may get lucky, and have fabulous weather through October, but I’m watching the daylight, and August is always when I start to notice the days creeping shorter. While I’m a bit biased as fall is my favorite time of year, I’m not ready for it just yet.

For now, I got my Halloween-y kicks out of this dramatic burst of intense colors, and it felt so good!
