Being part of the production of a wedding is exciting and fulfilling for me not only creatively, but emotionally. I find joy in serving, respecting and honoring all types of love, cultures and religions.
After getting my bachelors in Interior Architecture & Design in 2009 at JMU, I renovated an old building and opened a flower shop. I quickly realized weddings combined my love of translating personality into a physical space. After many moves and business name changes, in 2023 I built a 700 square foot flower studio on my own land - which was a longtime dream. Since 2010 we have designed over 400 weddings.
I am inspired by art history, music & nature. I love to paint, draw and to design anything from my home to weddings. When I'm not designing weddings, you can find me at my home at the lake with my husband and two kids drinking a Paloma watering my hydrangeas and playing in the dirt. If you think we'd be the right fit, drop me a line!
