♤♡What floral designers design for themselves♡♤

A couple of weeks back, I shared in stories that I had designed a little Mother's Day arrangement for myself. I got A BUNCH of messages asking to see what I had made. I thought it was so sweet that you all wanted to see what I had chosen for myself. Though it wasn't so much a design as it was a bunch of stems clipped and dropped into a pretty pot.

Well, here she is. I'm really feeling lavender lately. So I just pulled all of the extra stems in that color palette. And for me, the wilder, the better. I personally love for things to look like they were just pulled from the garden. It's why so much of my work looks like that. I am what I am.

Speaking of wearable flowers . . .

Soooo we don't make corsages on elastic wristlets anymore. Like at all. Ever. And we have zero regrets about it. It's a cuff or nothing, petals!

It's because we love you. And we want your corsages to feel like gorgeous accessories not sad leftovers. And we want them to be comfortable not constricting. Annnnnd we want to match the metal to your aesthetic. Can you even blame us?! We thought not.

These berry inspired corsages couldn't feature real fruit for a lot of reasons. So we used gorgeously saturated watermelon ranunculus kissed by a yet-to-bloom scabiosa PARADING AROUND LIKE AN ACTUAL DANG STRAWBERRY. We see you, ma'am. My favorite part might be the dainty chamomile looking like strawberry blossoms, though. You cute, girl.

All around summer perfection.

Swipe to see the matching pocket bout. We know that's why you came.

It's called FASHUN. Look it up.

We love pretty things. And we love designing pretty flowers for pretty things.

Our everlasting custom hat accessories are a fun way to make your favorite hat more versatile. Then you can invest in one hat that you absolutely love and have us make multiple, interchangeable hat accessories in various colors and styles so you can wear it with anything!

Pretty great.

It was all yellow.
💛
Am I the only one who feels meh about yellow? I just don't love it. In general, I don't usually feel drawn to primary colors.

That is until I made the cutest little spring garden arrangement of iris, daisies, spray roses, and lily grass. I am sooo smitten with this cutie. She is happiness in a box.

And now, if it's all yellow, I'm all in.
💛
Yellow. Yay! Or nay?

RISE. SHINE. REPEAT.

Every week, we make specially curated bedside arrangements for our clients. And while sometimes we stick a single stellar stem in a gorgeous bud vase, sometimes we create a miniature floral universe in a rocks glass.

This composition is a jewel toned wonder of Japanese sweet pea, parrot tulips, caspia, and purple iris in a blushing dimpled cup. We use the frilly and wily tulips as the mechanism to hold the sweet pea. And we let the sweet pea do whatever the heck they want cause they're the boss. Always. No greens. No hiding. Just flowers telling you that today will be whatever it is, and that is where the beauty lies.

Art for art's sake.

I've been a single mom, a working mom, a young mom, a stay-at-home mom, a volunteer mom, a room mom, a spiritual mom, a burnt out mom, a bad mom, the best mom, a fun mom, a strict mom, a depressed mom, an over-the-moon mom. I had a wonderful mom who died before I was ready. A step-mom. Grandmothers. Aunties. Friends moms who were like my own.

Mother's Day can be tricky for a number of reasons. But mine was lovely this year. I took two orders yesterday, one for a special client and one for myself. And that felt perfect. Designing just for me. For the sake of the beauty of it.

Enjoy the day, petals.

If knew who we were . . .

Totes in love with our custom bags from our pop-up with last month. We love doing bespoke design for our events. One-of-a-kind is kinda our thing.

I know, I know: it's gonna be May. And May brings the beginning of peony season. But these double tulips are giving the darlings of the flower world a run for their money. And for half the price.

Tulips are one of my absolute favorites. I like the way they change over time. The way they curve and move towards the light. The way their petals unfurl. The way they continue to grow even after they are clipped. They add an unpredictable, organic quality to cut arrangements that is rarely imitated.

Happy May Day, petals! Lots of amazing content from the end of season coming your way. Can't. Wait.

We. Love. A. Bow. So when we decided to do a special 3-day pop-up with - we knew we wanted to feature a huge floral bow somewhere. And we definitely did!

This giant custom bow is 4 feet wide and sits atop an explosion of jewel-toned blooms. Because we knew this installation would have to survive 90° temps and full sun for 3 whole days, we used a lot of dried stems, some hardy drought tolerant blossoms, and dozens of individually tubed ombre roses. The result is a photo opp you don't want to miss.

Come see us SATURDAY & SUNDAY from 9-4 at the Wellington International Equestrian Center. We have fresh flowers and eucalyptus shower bundles, home decor, Easter gifts, and more! It's free to shop, and there are some great vendors and delicious food and drinks.

I mean can you really be "back" if you're ALWAYS in black? It's my signature color for clothes . . . and backdrops.

I love photographing the flowers in front of dark back drops because it highlights the stems in a way that light colors don't. I used to worry that you couldn't see every stem but have come to love the big picture more than the individual. I think I love it so much because it reminds me of the Dutch masters' paintings. Dreamy.

🎂We do birthdays right at 🌿𝔹ℝ𝔸ℕℂℍ + 𝓑 𝓵 𝓸 𝓼 𝓼 𝓸 𝓶🌿

This arrangement was extra special to me because it was for my mother-in-law. She doesn't live here, so I have never actually been able to make flowers for her on her birthday; instead, we always send her arrangements from a florist in her hometown. When it worked out this year, I was thrilled.

I chose deep pinks and purples, her favorite colors, in several styles and textures. And then I created this overflowing display exploding out of a low, wide gold bowl. With 3 dozen roses, lush scabiosa, and fragrant stock, this piece is an absolute show-stopper. The perfect gift for such a special lady.

SWIPE for a stem show.

🦋🪻Spring has Sprung, petals!🌷🪺

At least here in Palm Beach, that is. The days are starting to stretch a little longer, summer is sneaking into view, and we're starting to see those special spring blooms we wait all year for. Dusty lavender hyacinth, ruffly ranunculus, and gently fragranced sweet peas among others. Our arrangements are getting brighter by the day, and we're here for it!

Springing into C▪︎O▪︎L▪︎O▪︎R
Swipe to see this Valentine's pull before I arranged everything.

There are 2 things I 🖤:
texture and uniqueness. While I have certain colors and palettes I prefer, I can work with any as long as I can be true to my own style of design.

Layers and layers of dimension built with lots of different flowers both fresh and preserved. Special blooms you don't see all the time. Lots of organic texture. Allowing flowers to go the way they naturally would. Unusual pairings. Cool vessels. Designs that feel slightly wild.

It is ok if that is not your vibe. If you like things that are more predictable or traditional. If you feel uneasy being unsure of the exact outcome. I TOTALLY get that. And I probably wouldn't be the best fit for you. AND THAT'S OK. It takes all kinds, my friends. I'm definitely not everybody's cup of tea. And I'm good with that. I always manage to find the right clients. And they just let me do my thing. And it is the greatest gift.

Make☆a☆Wish!

Our small batch, handmade botanical products make THE BEST gifts and event favors. Imagine your guests taking home a custom candle designed to perfectly match your aesthetic finished with our in-house dried flowers. So special and actually useful!

This large dough bowl candle we made for our Christmas market sold within 15 minutes of us being open. We poured it the day before with 100% soy wax and scented it with orange and rosehip. We like using wide wood wicks and keep our flowers on the edges so they don't go up in smoke. It's all in the details.

Make an Entrance!

We love a gorgeous foyer display. And we do a lot of them. The key is layering in different textures and heights to create something that won't feel small or disproportionate to the grandeur of the space without creating something that seems heavy.

This arrangement's light, organic look is achieved with tall, curling willow branches, lots of aubergine delphinium, fluffy white peonies, and a nest of caspia as the base. We created it on site so we could use our client's favorite vase, and it is actually 4 feet tall, plus the table! It's a gorgeous winter statement piece that adds life and movement to a lovely room, welcoming guests and family alike.

The Cake Garden is one of THE BIGGEST wedding trends we are seeing right now. So we figured this stunner from our fall shoot needed a permanent spot on the feed! For this look, we nestled one of incredible custom cakes inside a fresh floral garden of moody burgundy dutch hydrangea, viva magenta stock and anemones, and dusty lavender lisianthus and roses. The effect is whimsically show-stopping. Plus, you aren't piercing your cake with a bunch of possibly chemical-laden stems of flowers. Love it!

🤍💍'🖤Tis the Season! Wedding season, that is. 💍🤍

We are preparing for our biggest season yet, and I cannot wait to share some of the details with you. From super unique venues to avant-garde aesthetics, the weddings we get to be a part of this year are so special.

Each and every event we design is chosen because we believe we are the absolute best fit for achieving the client's vision of the day. We want you to show up and be overwhelmed. To have your expectations exceeded. Our favorite thing to hear is, "It's so much better than I even imagined!" Then we know we've succeeded. We are in the business of bringing dreams to life. And we never take it for granted. Every event. Every time.

Thanks for following along, petals. So much more to come.

Here's to another year of a life I never could have imagined.

So much beauty. So much space. So much love. So much hard work. So much determination. So much learning. So much more to come.

Happy New Year, petals.

The face when you don't have to decorate another Christmas tree for 350 days.

I LOVE Christmas and the holidays in general, but a part of me also loves the end of the season when everything comes down. A clean slate. A fresh start. Lots of new to look forward to.

Are you looking forward or looking back, petals?

12/26/2022

Good news of great joy.

“And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” -Luke 2:10-11

I made these botanical nativity boxes for our markets this season and absolutely fell in love with them. The Holy Family is represented with dried petals of delphinium, caspia, and lavender while dusty miller and a single bunny tail symbolize a swaddled savior in the manger.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, petals.

We've done A LOT of trees this season, but this might be my favorite. Tons of twinkling lights strung across fresh boughs of Douglas Fir, minimal gold and silver ornaments, and the tree sitting pretty in the center of a gorgeous room looking out on the water.

We had 2 gorgeous 12 foot trees delivered and set up by in Palm Beach, and I cannot say enough about the quality and freshness of these trees. I literally had to scrub sap off my arms with a rough sponge after decorating these beauties. Stunning. You have to check them out.

Special thanks to all of my B+B elves for helping make magic with me. One more week, petals!

Well, petals, you've done it again. You've loved and supported us so well that we have reached our capacity for the Christmas season, and we are no longer booking for 2022.

I can't thank you enough. Your support means so much to me, and it has helped to get me to a place where I get to live an absolute gift of a life every day. Thank you thank you thank you.

We'll see you soon.

XOXO,

Let's hear it for mix & match gowns for the girls!

We LOVE the look of these satin dresses that all complement each other but aren't identical. And that's why we love when the maids' bouquets are neutral. They pop beautifully against the color of the dresses and tie all of the maids together visually. Just gorgeous.

Thanks to one of our favorite MOBs for sending us these amazing pictures of one of the sweetest brides.

Fall is slipping away and, with it, some of our favorite blooms.

One of the best reasons to use a floral designer is that she will often have access to event quality blooms year round. We're talking the freshest, most gorgeous flowers you have ever seen. But there are some stems even florists can't always get. Seasonality is a real thing. And for really finicky flowers, a lot of places just won't even bother trying to grow them. So when we do have access to them, they are all the more special.

Dahlias are like that here in South Florida. We can't grow them; they don't have a long vase life; they get beat up in traveling and on and on. But for a brief window in the fall, we can get them. That window is closing for the year now, but it was so lovely while it was open.

This delivery was very special to me. I chose the dahlias for someone who happens to adore them, and it just worked out that these stems found their way to me on her birthday. What a gift.

Veterans' Day ☆ Rememberance Day

Both here and in the UK, November 11th is a day to honor those who put their lives on the line in service of their countries.

We were recently commissioned to create a Rememberance Day wreath for for some of our favorite clients. They asked that it be everlasting and feature poppies, the symbolic flower of Rememberance Day in the UK. We used a blend of silk and dried botanicals in traditional colors to create this asymmetrical homage to those who serve.

It is such an honor to help people mark special days and people in their lives.

God Bless America and those who serve her in our armed forces.

PEONY PREFERENCE?

Which stage of the coral charm peony is your fave: picture 1, 2, or 3?

I think it's 1 for me; the final blond flourish. Or maybe 2 when the coral pink edges start to blush that bubblegum hue. But the size of the heads and the romantic ruffly petals make every day of its bloom pretty spectacular.

Praying safety and protection for all of our Florida petals today!

And the groom, too!🤍

photos of this day are almost as incredible as the day itself was.

This shoot features the stunning Ashley of and her sweetheart, James. Ashley's custom gown, silver-edged veil, and bejeweled belt from are the perfect combination of timeless, classic design and modern clean lines - which were all crucial to help avoid overwhelming the tiny Ashley! For a special touch, .end.clay created custom one-of-a-kind earrings that reflected the oysters and orchids aesthetic of the day. And we designed a whimsical and dark cascading bouquet to pop against the creamy satin of the gown. Her flawless hair and makeup feel special but natural, and she literally GLOWS in that golden hour light.

Keep an eye on our account over the next few weeks for more peeks into this special day.

If you want a seamless aesthetic from one end of your day to the other, make sure your vendors are in sync.

We provided the blooms for this gorgeous cake so that the bakery could use the same flowers we designed with everywhere else for the cake, too. The result: a picture perfect confectionery centerpiece that echoed the tropical vibes of the whole day. Such a pleasure to work with other talented artists to make couples' visions come to life.

Sweet dreams, petals.

🌸Let's talk about flower crowns for a minute.🌸

We LOVE wearable flowers. And flower crowns are so feminine and lovely and fun. But they are A LOT of work. We wire in every single leaf, stem, and bloom on every crown. Every time I host a flower crown workshop, invariably, the participants comment on how much work they take.

Floral cowns are a labor of love. And whether you want to purchase them for a big event or learn how to create them as part of a workshop, you should definitely be sure to account for their actual production whether that be in cost or time.

In this gorgeous photo, is wearing one of the custom tropical crowns we created for the matcha cart. Dreamy.

Say it; don't spray it. Unless it's spray roses. Then definitely spray it.

Spray roses are an UNDERRATED flower for events and arrangements, in my opinion. These babies are a triple threat - coming in TONS of colors, offering multiple blooms on every stem, and provinding real affordability.

I grabbed these bunches of lavender sprays from the wholesaler today; they were getting rid of them as they aren't really fresh anymore, but I thought I could enjoy the last day or two of their brief lives. They are so lovely: an icy silvery periwinkle in shadows, a warm, blushy maroon in the golden light of sunset. Edged in a bleeding line of crimson. A million details in a single moment.

Flowers always bring simple joy. A bright spot in the often long days.

𝟏, 𝟐, 𝐨𝐫 𝟑? Which use of the mokara orchid do you prefer?

Mokara orchids are some of my absolute favorites to design with. They are actually a cross of three different orchid species, and they have a truly unique look about them. They have short stems prolific with ombre colored blooms. And their vibrant colors add a dainty pop of depth to designs.

In the first photo, I opted for a collection of solo stems. In the second, the mokaras add great lines to a sculptural display of fall blooms, and in the third, they serve as a bridge from blushier hues to deeper, more saturated colors in a thick centerpiece.
