A bouquet you can wear or hold? 🙋‍♀️

What I love about this particular armature is that it gives you options. You have structure and movement and you can create shapes and placement you may not be able to with other methods. The possibilities are endless, and that's exciting to me!

Looking forward to creating this for a future bride!

You have a lot to think about when planning a wedding, including your budget. When selecting a florist, you might wonder why one florist quotes $5,000 and another $8,000. That’s a fair question, and the answer matters more than you might think.⁠
⁠
Every couple has a budget, and wanting to make the most of it makes complete sense. But here's what I wish more couples knew before they started shopping around: There's a reason behind every number in a floral proposal. ⁠
⁠
In my latest "Floral Note", I'm breaking down what goes on behind-the-scenes when I create a proposal (hint: it's not arbitrary). ⁠
⁠
If you're planning your wedding and want to work with a sustainable floral artist who is as invested in your big day as you are, I'd love to connect. I'm currently accepting inquiries for fall 2026 and the 2027 season. ⁠

My 17th Mother's Day. I can't say I feel like a great mom everyday or even most days. What I can say is that I know each day with these two is another chance to show them how much I love them. Besides raising good humans, my main goal is for the boys to know I love them unconditionally.

Over the years, I have learned that motherhood is a journey and one I am grateful to not take alone. I have an amazing partner in David, two sets of the best grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and cousins who show up and give us love and support.

Happy Mother's Day! ❤️

A few snippets from today: An actual picture with both boys, strawberry layer cake my mom made, and flowers (of course) my dad asked me to put together for my mom.

Mother's Day is just under 2 weeks away and our pre-sale ends Sunday, May 3!

We're offering thoughtfully-curated local spring blooms as a vase arrangement and two wrapped bouquet sizes 💐. Here's how pre-ordering works:
* You click on the "Mother's Day" link on our profile.
* Select a wrapped bouquet or vase arrangement. There's local delivery and pick up AND pick up from Bowood Farms.
* If you're local to Dardenne Prairie, you'll choose pick up/delivery for May 7 or May 8. Bowood Farms pick up is May 9.
* You can choose to have a handwritten note added to your flowers (no additional cost).

That's it. The only catch is you have to order by Sunday, May 3. This allows me plenty of time to source beautiful, local flowers and create intentional pieces.

From the Pinterest Board to Real Life: How Floral Designers Plan and Execute Floral Design⁠
⁠
When I ask a potential client to tell me what they envision for their wedding or special event, I almost always get a link to a Pinterest board or other visuals. I love viewing these inspirational images because these boards tell me a lot about your preferences—romantic and wild, structured and refined. ⁠
⁠
But it’s important my clients know that these boards are merely inspirational, not necessarily aspirational. ⁠
⁠
In this month’s blog post, I’m going beyond the Pinterest board. I dive into how I take your inspiration and turn that into a floral design that tells your story and not someone else's. ⁠

Our Mother's Day pre-sale is now live on the Hare and Bear Co. website!

This year, we're once again offering 3 consciously-curated options to gift Mom:

- A seasonal vase arrangement filled with locally-grown spring flowers, artfully displayed in a ceramic vase.

- A standard wrapped bouquet (think 12-15 stems)

- A medium wrapped bouquet (15-25 stems)

Each option makes a thoughtful gift for the mother figure in your life. Whether that's your birth mom, your chosen mom, your grandmother, (you get the idea), they deserve something special. I happen to think that's flowers from yours truly ;).

Head to our website to get your pre-order in by Sunday, May 3. You have to option to pick-up from Bowood Farm on Saturday, May 9 OR to pick-up or have me deliver your blooms in and around Dardenne Prairie May 7 and 8.

Link for Mother's Day is in our profile.

- First 3 slides are a stylistic example for this year. The last 2 slides are flowers from last year's Mother's Day orders.
