😭😭😭
Undone!
I am beyond blown away. By the support of family and friends. By the couples who have trusted me this far with their wedding florals. By my husband who cheers me on every step of the way. Even when he has to step over rose thorns to kiss me when he gets home.
Vessel was a pipe dream that now I’m living in.
Creating in the kitchen with my little girl in tow. Getting to know amazing brides and see their vision come to life. Pouring out from the Vessel I’ve been given.
It’s funny how even in the midst of living out this dream, that imposter syndrome lingers and rears it’s head sometimes. Something about these photos has eased that in a way. Which is a gift I was not expecting @andreamariephotos to give me when she sent me this gallery.
I considered renting a studio for these photos but wanted them to remain authentic and true to this phase of my life and business. I create all your florals in my kitchen and bonus room. I absolutely dream of having a studio one day, but for now, I will be thankful for what is before me. And I will continue to refine and elevate my designs as I create in my own home! Sometimes I take breaks to hand out snacks, read a book or start nap time. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I heard it said once “the best things I ever accomplished, I did with a baby on my hip.” I hope this is true of me. 🫶🏼
Immensely grateful is what I keep saying and thinking. For all of you! To the Lord for blessing this crazy dream.
Thank you, Andrea for these photos. I will cherish them forever!
Rescued 7 buckets on Sunday! 🫠🤪
In all seriousness- I love my job. It is a dream. And buckets will be the bane of my existence as long as I am a florist. 🤙🏼
2026 season is in full swing 💕🌸
After a long hiatus for the first 6 months of my sons life and finding a new rhythm as a mama of two, it feels good to be back to flowering.
Couldn’t have done it without my sis and main girl, Annie, and my husband being the best papa to our littles. It was the first wedding day they got to come for a quick visit which was so fun and refreshing.
So excited to be back at it and we’re so ready to design for you!
Part two ✨
Wedding party florals can quietly eat up a huge portion of your budget—but they don’t have to!!
Ashleigh and Corvin kept things intentional with mono bouquets for their bridesmaids—clean, elevated, and still full of impact. PROOF that simple can absolutely be a statement.
For the guys, Corvin wore the coolest lapel pin while his groomsmen kept it classic with black pocket squares. Minimal, refined, and effortlessly cohesive.
Design choices like these create breathing room in your budget without sacrificing the beauty of the event. The absence of boutonnières doesn’t take away from the lush feel of the ceremony, and look how perfect these bridesmaids are with these simplified, scaled back bouquets?! Their mothers wore beautiful brooch style floral pieces but besides that, everyone else was flower free.
The Browns really let us get creative and lean into our strengths when designing the florals for this perfect day. I can’t wait to show you where we allocated the difference to make the most impact, both at the ceremony and reception!
Coming sooooon!
Would you consider scaling back your wedding party florals? Let me know! 👇🏼👇🏼

A big sis (and professional florist) pep talk!
If your floral proposal felt higher than expected, a few key factors are likely at play, but there’s a good chance your wedding party florals are starring a major role.
It’s often more than couples anticipate—
a larger wedding party, full-sized bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnières for each groomsman, and additional pieces for parents and honored guests. Individually, they feel reasonable. Collectively, they can take up a significant portion of the budget.
And gently—your groomsmen likely aren’t attached to their boutonnières, and your bridesmaids won’t feel any less celebrated with a more refined, scaled-back bouquet.
From a design perspective, this is also one of the areas with the least visual impact on the overall event. Those same funds can often be reallocated toward installations, statement pieces, or reception designs that truly shape the atmosphere of the day.
It’s all about being intentional with where your investment goes—while still remaining thoughtful and honoring to your wedding party and guests.
Your best friends love you! You don’t have to impress them on your wedding day.
I’ll be sharing a few thoughtful alternatives and adjustments soon that maintain a beautiful, cohesive look—while making your budget work harder for you ✨
Processing day for Valentines!
Would you believe me if I say it took 15+ times to get this voiceover even kind of “right” and then it failed to post and then my phone died 🫠I love flowers, not instagram. But here it is! Thankful to have family close by to hang with my babies while I work.
I hope you enjoy this dose of real life over here 😊
Valentines 2026!
Here’s a realistic afternoon-in-the-life on delivery day with two kiddos- my first since having my son back in September. As much as I love being a floral designer, I love being a mama more. I’m so grateful for my family, Vessel, and all the support you show us for Valentines every year!
a sucker for mono maid bouquets! 😍
Planning out the 2026 year as we end 2025 and thinking back to some of our warm weather favorites.
@sophiergrubbs had such incredible vision and @michelleleaphotographie captured it so perfectly!
