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 celebrating 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!

About
Every wedding day, my team of floral designers create breathtaking floral installations, and setup all florals and rentals making sure every last detail is in place for a picture perfect event. At the end of the night, we remove all florals, rentals and flower trash, so you can enjoy your celebration.
Enthusiastic fellow flower lovers makeup my team of florists every wedding season. Some of my designers have been with me for the full 15 years as freelance florists.
Our design & rentals studio is located in Mineral, Virginia, where we design florals for weddings & events. We are local to Charlottesville and Richmond wedding venues, and travel for destination event design.
