A Beginning, in Flowers

Musings from the Studio—For Clients, Creatives, and the Curious

This isn’t just a place to archive past weddings—it’s where I share the thoughts, stories, and moments that don’t always make it into an Instagram caption. These musings offer a closer look at the work behind the flowers: the decisions, the challenges, the beauty in the process.

Here, you’ll find reflections and resources for couples planning thoughtfully designed celebrations, for planners seeking a creative partner, and for florists navigating their own artistic path. Some things I’ll be writing about:

– How to discover your floral style and bring it to life
– What really shapes the cost of wedding and event flowers
– Planning timelines and what to expect when working with a florist
– The difference between full-service floral design and a la carte options
– Why intentional, fine art florals change the energy of a space
– Designing with seasonal blooms across different climates
– How large-scale installations come to life—mechanics, chaos, and beauty
– Lessons from producing events in both the Midwest and on California’s Central Coast
– Honest notes on creativity, growth, and burnout in this industry
– The quiet magic of flowers, and why they continue to move us

Whether you're planning something beautiful, designing something brave, or just craving a slower moment to take it all in—I'm glad you're here.
