It has been a long time coming, but we now have a fresh new look, and a brand that really captures the work we do.

I am so grateful to all of you for being a part of this amazing, creative, beautiful journey with flowers. In gratitude, we are going to be giving away some really fun stuff to celebrate this new chapter - including a special giveaway for our email list pals - so stay tuned! ⁣

A final 2021 highlight, in a year of hot mess...this photo! I mean come on!! 😍

I will be sharing more from this series in 2022..along with some BIG changes in the pipeline! (Hint: you can join my email list - link in profile - for inside scoops. And I don't mean ice cream.)

But for now, I'm going to leave 2021 with this adorable pup and a boatload of gratitude for the fellow wedding vendors, flower growers, artists, and creatives who have said yes to MANY of my crazy ideas this year.

We made a dress out of hellebores.
We put flowers on this dog.
We built a hedge made of flowers.
We gave wearable flowers to everyone at a wedding.
We built massive arches and design assets and new things together.
We got featured in magazines, blogs, and Yahoo Finance (lol).
We taught each other stuff.
We survived another year!

I am so proud to be a part of such a wonderful community of creative humans. Next year I am going to be saying YES to a lot more of this stuff. Making art. Serving incredible clients. Building community. And making this the most fun, creative, wild year yet. I can't wait!!

Join me??? DM, email, join the email list in profile, whatever you need to do to connect - we are gonna make some MAGIC happen in 2022! And I want to see you there!

Another highlight from this year was collaborating with so many other incredible wedding vendors!

Janet asked me to help her surprise one of her couples with a bouquet for this engagement shoot. I love her work, so of course I said yes!

We used all of the delicate white and blush blooms - from ranunculus to tuberose (an underrated, sweet-smelling fave) to dramatically cascading stems of orchids. Finished with a hand-dyed silk fluttering in the breeze...ah, it was such a romantic scene.

I love this photo because it is so quintessentially Seattle! If you're a local, you totally know where this was taken. It's a favorite walk of my husband and me. So having photos with my florals there - from a photographer as talented at Janet? - yes please!! Big congrats to S&H on their engagement and big thanks to Janet for this very fun collaboration! 😍

Sometimes we do the destination weddings...and sometimes, we ARE the destination!

C&H traveled from California for a moody, rainy elopement in the Olympic National Forest. After exploring the woods, they also were able to capture some stunning sunset shots on the top of a ridge.

We absolutely LOVED seeing how these two explored the woods, mountain backdrops, and cozy cabin for their elopement. And we loved giving them florals that encapsulated the moody vibe they were hoping for!

Black foliage and palm spears, dramatic smoke bush, and lots of fluffy blooms allowed us to deliver stunning florals with just a touch of dark, moody edge. Perfection! 😍

Another HUGE highlight from this year - R&S's July wedding that was full of hot vax summer vibes! (Funny enough, R and I met when I joined her band, and that's how I wound up doing her wedding years later, lol. Musicians are the best!!)

This Bainbridge Island wedding was postponed, moved, and scaled down. But it was straight-up MAGIC to see their friends and family embrace, hang out, catch up, and celebrate together in those few golden weeks when we were all feeling confident about our vaccines.

This crew was so full of love for each other and joy at finally being back together! It was truly incredible to witness, and I know y'all know that the power of gathering really can't be overstated. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!

Oh, and did I mention? We also got to use the best seasonal summer flowers from our farm pals, in a palette that was totally swoon-worthy. R's mama has impeccable taste and understands design, so it was just a flawless collaboration. Honestly, this wedding just made my heart happy in so many ways. Congrats R&S!!
