Co-Owner, Floral Designer

             

I am truly thankful to have the opportunity to help brides create one of the most beautiful days of their lives. I always get so excited to see a bride on her wedding day. The anticipation and excitement are such wonderful things to bear witness to. I can honestly say that after witnessing countless weddings, I still get teary at every single wedding I attend. I am truly passionate about weddings and helping to make a bride and groom’s wedding vision a reality.

I fell into floral design out of necessity while coordinating weddings. There were many events where well-meaning friends and family offered to do the wedding flowers for our clients. Inevitably these well intentioned friends and family would run out of time or would create some extremely “creative designs” that I was confident would not be viewed so excitedly by our clients.   I would often quickly step in to “rearrange” or redo flowers in order to create the most beautiful outcome for our clients. I tend to be extremely creative by nature and fell in love with designing flowers. I have been creating beautiful and budget friendly designs ever since 2010 and I absolutely love the joy each order brings me. My approach to floral design is very practical and I am fortunate to have the ability to work with most budgets. I am always upfront with clients about costs and can make alternative suggestions in order to keep you within your desired budget.


A little more about me… I moved to Oregon to attend college at Pacific University in Forest Grove where I received a degree in Social Work. I completely fell in love with Portland and Oregon in general and could not bring myself to move back to Washington. I live in SE Portland with my wonderful husband, beautiful daughter Stella, our little black pug Mr. Kong and sweet kitty cat Sophie Marie. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, playing with makeup and oddly enough... I love, love, love cleaning the house (I know, who does that!). I absolutely love what I do, and I look forward to sharing my passion and skills for flowers with you. I look forward to making your wedding dreams a reality!
