how does one write a love story with flowers?

For the thousands of years couples have been getting married, flowers have always been included in the ritual, and for good reason.

Flowers evoke emotion, exude romance, and most importantly, they remind us to drop into the present moment to hold space for the day, the commitment, and the couple.

Everyone deserves a floral story crafted with care, and we’re here to celebrate your unique story with flowers you can feel good about.

What happens next?

We’ll check our calendar and if we’re available on your day, you’ll receive an email with a link to gather all your essential details!

From there, we’ll evaluate your needs and suggest 1 or 2 package options that will give you ideas of how we can go about bringing your love story to life. Once we’ve settled on your needs, we’ll send you a mini-look book to give you the overall vibe as we understand it.

At the time of booking, we will ask for a deposit which can range anywhere from 30-50% of your estimated budget. You’ll receive a final invoice 30 days from your event date.
