Anything better than classic vibes? ✨
My favorite moment? Transferring the aisle garland studded with white blooms to the urn alcove for a dramatic moment in the tent.

Our very own Bree got married!!! 💜 Bree is the daughter of a college friend’s best friend (follow that? 😂), and she worked with me for a few years at Petal’s Edge. So when it came time for her wedding, this one was personal.
Bree has always loved all things French. But the wedding wasn’t in France; it was at Green Mountain Farm in North Carolina. So French château gave way to French country: lavender and rosemary, rattan and terracotta, and loose, airy flowers in soft lavender and cream. A little rustic, a little elegant, and just right for the setting. And so Bree! (In fact, she may not have realized it, but the hues of terra cotta picked up on the red in her hair 😉)
When I sent her the proposal, Bree wrote back: “I’m actually crying. It’s so beautiful. It’s everything I wanted it to be.”
We love you, Bree! And we loved being part of your day!!! 💕

The fountain garden at Woodlawn + Pope Leighey House is one of our favorite spots on earth, and cocktail hour here just hits differently. 🤍 Urn arrangements, cocktail table florals, a custom seating area, string lights, an escort card wall... the details are what transform a beautiful space into a full experience. Because details make the difference — always. ✨🌿

A palette pulled straight from a glass of bourbon. 🥃
Sculptural calla lilies, trailing amaranthus, grapes and peaches. Modern, organic, a little decadent, and just a little moody.
Designed for Basil Hayden, and proof that sometimes the most interesting thing you can put in a floral arrangement isn’t a flower.
We loved working with @basilhayden to bring this together.
There’s just something about St. Francis Hall.
Maybe it’s the brick. Maybe it’s the windows. Maybe it’s those twinkle lights that somehow make every wedding feel a little bit magical.
For Erin & Joel`s wedding, we loved the contrast of all that warm architecture with cool blues, crisp whites and lots of greenery. Nothing fighting the room. Nothing trying too hard. Just really pretty flowers in a really wonderful space.
And honestly, we could design here a hundred times and still get excited walking through those doors.

An outdoor ceremony followed by a beautiful ballroom reception? The St. Regis makes a very persuasive case.
The Astor Terrace and Astor Ballroom give us two different settings to consider, and I love finding the floral thread between them. A color carried through. A favorite flower appearing again. A shape that feels familiar when guests move inside. You get the excitement of a new space, with flowers that feel like they belong to the same celebration.
Those connections are some of my favorite parts of wedding design, and for Katie and Doug, I love how they went a step further with incorporating hand painted ceramics form Katie`s homeland.
