WHAT A WEEK!

I am overjoyed and so grateful for these people. Four incredible days filled with flowers to execute this event and they made it all possible! We picked each other up, kept pushing forward, and laughed a whole lot. The result was INCREDIBLE. My father-in-law, sister, nephew and niece-in-law is not pictured, as well as some strapping young men who came out to make it all happen.

It takes a village and I am so proud to say that this is ours.

, we LOVE YOU. Your brilliant mind put this entire production together and I couldn’t be more of an admirer of you and your work. Super grateful for a supportive planner like you!

A special thanks to for taking beautiful pictures of the reception because I certainly don’t have any. I like to leave the photography up to

As we hunker down in preparation for this CRAZY winter storm heading our way, here’s a friendly reminder that Spring is right around the corner. Snow is definitely not South Louisiana’s thing and we are expecting 4-5” of SNOW!!!

In the meantime, I’ll be scrolling through pictures of flowers and dreaming about a garden full of new blooms to get through the freezing days ahead.

And now we rest as our 2024 wedding season comes to a close.

I designed this arrangement almost a year ago with freedom in mind. No rules, no color pallet requests, just me and a few stems. Reflecting back, I find that this entire year has show me freedom through flowers in a different way than before. My heart is filled with gratitude for every experience, every event, and every person who has come into our lives through flowers. Looking forward to rest and creating more beauty next year.

As we gather in gratitude this Thanksgiving, I can’t help but pause and reflect on 2024 and the incredible growth that we’ve experienced with the launch of this new brand.

This new brand inspiration was rooted in connecting with clients and vendors in New Orleans looking for a bold florist with an eye for color and a mission to create their most daring floral dreams. There have been so many unforgettable moments centered in connection thus far, and I am beyond thankful.

Some of my favorite memories have been fan-girling while creating alongside incredible florists like and for a styled shoot, cultivating trusting relationships with planners and , working at beautiful venues for the first time , dreaming up some incredible future events with , traveling to Aspen to flower our friends’ wedding, and aligning with clients who understand our vision and our brand. It has been a beautiful whirlwind. Your confidence in our designs inspires us to continue creating art with every stem we touch.

This season reminds us that even in the busiest of times, there is always room to celebrate love, art, and connection. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

With love and gratitude,

“I can do anything, even in stilettos.”
That’s a damn good motto to sum up 2024.

We are insanely grateful to be part of this wedding. My wife, TerriLynn, always helps make our clients’ dreams happen. (Especially when her wife is in stilettos.) I couldn’t do life or flowers without you, babe.

We love you & 🫶🏼
Thank you for letting us bring your floral dreams to life!

Major props to for ALWAYS capturing the heartfelt moments.

This is a wedding that I’ll never forget.

The colors, the dense florals, the couple’s style, and the vendors that they chose to bring their big day to life. This is what I live for.

A bride’s bouquet is an extension of who she is—a story told through each stem and the way they are mindfully placed. It offers those gathered a glimpse into her dreams, reflecting the love and intention woven into every detail of her day. Just like her dress and treasured accessories, this bouquet is not just something she carries; it’s a piece of her vision, held close as she walks down the aisle to the person she’s chosen to spend her life with.

Timing is everything.

It warrants patience. It demands trust. It’s unforgiving. It sometimes seems never ending. It’s fleeting. It’s intangible. It’s everything.

When you use the time that you’re given to build something out of love, that love is returned back to you in ways you never expected. AND it’s only when you become ready to accept it. All in good time.

I have struggled while discovering these truths. Most of my journey into flowers felt like I was rushing. It consisted of me wishing for things that I was not yet ready for. Those times felt like chaos.

I’ve been working on practicing surrender more, especially with respect to time. (Well, besides Botox because I am still working on “the aging part” of time. Progress > perfection.) I now know what is meant for me will find me. I know the clients who align with me will find me. I know that the forthcoming opportunities that are meant for me will find me. I know this because that’s been true this whole time. I am now ready for bigger opportunities than yesterday and they are finding me. All in my own time. That’s my mantra.

Death and rebirth are necessary to prepare us for our next steps towards reaching our destination. We are all evolving just like the flowers in our garden: dying, seeding, living, and blooming over and over again through each season of life. Take your time. Live in this moment. You may be in a different growth stage or season than your neighbor but that’s the beauty of it all. Our journey is uniquely ours.

There isn’t a happier bouquet for a happier couple.
