It’s been a while since I’ve properly introduced myself around here—and with quite a few new faces joining us lately, it felt like time. 🤎
Hi, I’m AlexAndria—the grower + designer behind Bede’s Blooms + Co.
I’m a wife, mama + stepmama, flower grower, florist, garden designer, writer, avid learner and insatiably curious human. By day, I’m a corporate professional—and somehow, I still feel most like myself with my hands in the dirt and something growing nearby.
Bede’s Blooms began with flowers, but five growing seasons later, it has become so much more.
I grow flowers + food, design florals for weddings and gatherings, and spend an unreasonable amount of time experimenting in the garden—learning what thrives, what doesn’t and why. Now, I’m taking that love beyond my own backyard through garden design + consulting, locally in Michigan and virtually.
If there’s one thread running through almost everything I do, it’s curiosity.
I want to know how things grow. How to create gardens that are beautiful AND useful. How flowers can transform a table or room. How our homes and gardens change when we slow down long enough to notice them.
I’m forever learning, researching, experimenting, creating—and then wanting to tell someone what I discovered. 😂
Which is probably why writing has found its way back into my life, too. Petals & Prose is where I’m sharing the longer stories—the things I’m growing, learning + noticing when an Instagram caption simply isn’t enough.
I don’t have it all figured out, and I don’t want this space to pretend that I do.
I’d rather invite you into the process—the experiments, successes, complete flops, flowers, food, weddings, gardens, stories + beauty hidden in ordinary days.
Because the older I get, the more I believe a beautiful life isn’t something we simply stumble upon.
It’s something we cultivate.
Slowly. Intentionally. Season by season. 🌿
I’m so glad you’re here. 🤎
What are you growing, creating or learning lately?
