Victoria and Aquiles have an exciting front page feature with @stylemepretty ! Here are a couple of highlights from their Autumn day but click the link in our bio for the full feature. 🍂
Their wedding day inspiration was drawn from 1990s Ralph Lauren fashion, infused with British hunting club undertones. 🐎 Their chosen color palette of Olive, Slate Blue, and Burgundy set the tone, complemented by textures such as dark stained wood, chestnut brown leather, and traditional plaid. As guests arrived, they were greeted with a vibrant drink display of Agua Fresca drinks featuring Kiwi, Strawberry, and Watermelon flavors. Cocktail hour began with a horchata display, adding a touch of Latin tradition to the festivities.
The floral design featured dramatic, large-scale installations emphasizing the main focal points of Dover Hall, including the grand staircase, the towering 15-foot stone fireplace mantle, and a majestic tunnel, full of greenery, woven into the entrance of the Glass Hall. 🌿

You're not starting from zero if you already have a creative eye.
You're starting from ahead.
The mechanics of floristry? Those can be learned. The business side? That can be learned too. But that unique perspective you bring to every arrangement? That's already inside you.
We just help you package it. Price it. Protect it. And build a business around it that honors both your creativity and your bank account.
That's the Flower School difference.
We're officially launching The Flower School of Virginia — and we couldn't be more excited to welcome you.
Whether you're a flower farmer ready to deepen your craft, a creative professional pivoting toward floristry, or a working florist hungry to level up, this is for you.
We built this school because we believe floristry is both an art and a business. You deserve education that teaches you the techniques, the design philosophy, and the confidence to build something real.
Courtney and I bring different energies to the same vision: polish and warmth, precision and inspiration. Together, we're here to help you grow.
Classes start soon. We'd love to have you join us.

New headshots from @sarahstreetphotography got me excited to say Heyyy 👋🏾
I’ve been deep in the studio making magic for our corporate and non-profit clients. And behind the scenes, the team’s been in full “glow-up mode” tightening up our processes, ordering fresh inventory, and of course… cleaning hundreds of candles.
But here’s the thing.
I’ve been quietly working on something new. Something necessary. And I’m this close to sharing.
Stay tuned - because what’s coming next is going to be gooooooodddd.
