Wait, that isn't how the saying goes?! Today I had the wonderful opportunity to join the Sacramento Valley Flower Collective at Fully Belly Farms in Guinda. Many of you may be asking where exactly is that? Is that still in California? Basically, it is wayyy out in the boondocks, far, far from a Target store (yes, that is how I judge how "country" a town is) but yes, still in California! I got the chance to finally meet growers and fellow florists who's Instagram accounts I ha

We were honored to be part of an International Women’s Day celebration at West Elm at the Fountains in Roseville. There were treats, discounts, and a variety of local makers, including jewelry, hand-lettering artists, and a watercolor artist. Since I just returned from Hawaii, I did a tropical-themed flower bar complete with proteas, safari sunsets, burgundy sunset leucadendron, palms, bear grass, and spider mums. Everyone loved the proteas as I had imagined they would from m

December 2017 was a whirlwind! There was a wedding, a wreath workshop, a Good Day Sacramento appearance, Christmas, and New Years Eve! Speaking of wind... that wreath workshop was OUTSIDE on the WINDIEST day ever in Sacramento. Beatnik Studios hosted the event and it would have been perfect, minus that dang wind! Did you know studies have proven children are more irritable on windy days? Well, so are adults. Or maybe it's just me... I even helped build that awesome pallet wal

I'm just going to put this right here... Strictly Weddings did a wonderful feature on a boho chic wedding shoot we participated in and said the sweetest things! Check it out here! Side note: The day we did this, I had to leave early from my little sister's 20th birthday party and rush straight to the shoot. It's summer in Sacramento so it goes without saying how hot it was, but the part I didn't realize was that we could only drive so far into the location site and the rest o

This was my first time ever doing a styled shoot! This styled shoot actually originated from a Craigslist ad! I was looking for mid-century, modern furniture on Craigslist, and I happened to see an ad for a photographer seeking models. I had only recently begun to promote my floral design business, and I decided to reach out to the photographer, Natally of Lumiere Visual Arts, to see if she wanted to collaborate at some point. Thankfully, she did! Interestingly, I chose to

Our first workshop was SO. MUCH. FUN. Really though. We had mimosas, pastries, and put together GORGEOUS flower arrangements all in the beautiful West Elm showroom! A huge thank you to all the lovely ladies (and one brave dude) for attending and rolling up their sleeves to create! A ginormous thank you to the wonderful people of West Elm for being such perfect hosts! They went above and beyond and I cannot praise them enough! Stay tuned for professional photos, but until then

I have no kids. I have no animals. I have plants. I am a plarent. And proud of it. I don't know where my love of these weird little green things came from but I just can't stand it. They are so cute I could cry. Don't worry, I won't. I cry over much more important things, such as double rainbows... but that's another story. Anyways. During the great Storm of the Century in January, my poor little babies were stuck outside. I was stuck in Bali (life is hard, I know) and I had

I was in Tahoe this weekend with a friend who was visiting from New Zealand so I did not have access to a computer, but I just got home and I couldn't wait to share this with you guys! We did a style wedding shoot and I am dying over how it turned out! Stay tuned for more, but until then, here's a sneak peek! Those ghost chairs though!
