Blooms from Bloom Maven! Mother's Day is coming soon...
The latest Mornings with Mayesh podcast is up on the blog (along with the video replay & show notes)! This episode features our newest Mayesh Design Star, Akiko Senda of Bloom Maven, who talks about her potted floral cactus garden design along with the challenges of owning a business that does both retail and events, changes she made to make it through a pandemic, and more!

In her first video, Akiko Senda of Bloom Maven is diving right into the Southwest aesthetic by sharing one of her signature designs at her shop, a Tucson Garden, or potted floral cactus garden.
While these floral cactus gardens can definitely be used in weddings & events, they are also perfect for retail as they are long-lasting and something that your clients can keep even after the fresh flowers have died. Akiko uses a mixture of cacti & succulents to build the garden base in soil, adds white rocks to give additional support and a clean look, and finally goes in with fresh flowers to brighten up the garden.

[AD] Tomorrow, I’m so excited to visit the Casas Adobes Plaza for their first annual Candy Cane Lane Christmas Market!
There will be 20+ amazing small-business owners and merchants who will be selling an assortment of items! But aside from great shopping, there will be beautiful holiday installations by Bloom Maven and free hot cocoa from Teaspoon with a non-perishable food donation. I love that the plaza is giving back to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona!
For more details, I attached the flier and vendor list. I hope to see you there! ☺️💗🎄
This is how we do fall weddings in Arizona!
Okay, it's not quite fall yet and it was 95 degrees yesterday (I was a sweaty mess), but still. What an incredible day celebrating these two! I am obsessed with this bride's color palette. I mean look at those flowers, suits and bridesmaid dresses. Everything was stunning!
Thanks for having me document your beautiful wedding. Congratulations!

I can't say enough good things about Carrie & Daniel and their celebration of love yesterday. These two tied the knot at the beautiful Tanque Verde Ranch yesterday and it was such a special day. These two share a love that is so filled with fun and laughter and it was truly an honor to capture it.

When it comes to art, people tend to think of pieces and projects that will be around for years or even centuries…but imagine working with a medium of temporary beauty…one that lasts weeks or days… and even shorter if the work is created outdoors. Such is the colorful if fleeting life of a Flower Bomb… Bloom Maven
Thank you so much to everyone who supported the Rialto on Arizona Gives Day last week – because of all of you, we reached our goal and raised over $12,000 by the end of the day! We are so grateful for every single person who donated or tuned in for our virtual show. The support of our community continues to amaze us.
