Busy busy busy— it’s that time of year 🤍 So here’s some proof of life, featuring a few of my favorite things: a bridal party, flowers in baskets, fun dresses, and a moment for the girls.
Why aren’t Gracefully Bloomed faux florals less expensive than fresh flowers? Here are a few things most people may not realize…
• Material costs are not cheap. Craft store stems? You won’t find them here. Many of my stems cost as much as— if not more than— its fresh flower equivalent.
• It takes time and searching to learn what sources I can trust. Not each supplier is equal, and that fact means I am always on the hunt for materials I can stand by.
• Design time is high. The prep alone takes hours. I have strongly worded thoughts for whoever decided faux flowers need plastic thorns on the stems.
• The ability to design something beautiful comes not only from time and practice, but learning as well. There is time and money spent educating myself on how to be a deliver better.
• There’s a decade of expertise going into each design here. Knowing how to make faux look natural, intentional, and elevated is a specialized skill.
If you’ve ever wondered why my faux floral design is priced the way it is— why I’m not using “budget friendly” as a selling point, I hope this helps. That it gives you a little window into the process, and the heart behind the magic.
This and brides who want to exist in their wedding and truly take it in as a beautiful experience.

I absolutely love seeing all the places my elopement arrangements get to go… but I think I’m going to start insisting I deliver the flowers in person, because I want to exist in these stunning spots too.
(also, that @honeysilksco ribbon in the ocean breeze? there’s a reason I don’t even ask if you want it on your bouquet— I just decide you surely must)
Adding flowers to the space of your wedding isn’t simply for the sake of adding flowers. It creates an experience. It takes your wedding day vision, and turns it into your wedding day environment. It sets the scene for yourself and your guests. It envelops you in something that you love.
Plus, it’s REALLY pretty.
I can’t exaggerate how much I love everything about this. The clarity, the softness. The way the flowers weaves into the natural environment. The veil and the dappled sunshine.
If you’re a bride-to-be and this is what speaks to you— we should already be talking 🤍
