Love u miss u 😭

Now that the ranunculus are officially (officially!!!) done and the last bouquets have left the building, my garden is in a lull! There’s always a bit of a gap between the early spring flowers and the summer flowers for me.

Next stop: dahlias, cosmos, zinnias, oh my!

Happy Sunday💛

One day late but happy first day of Spring 💛

The ranunculus are blooming beautifully and it makes my heart so happy to hear the birds singing, the bees buzzing, and all the signs of life in the garden. I wanted to use the nasturtium in this arrangement that hand pollinated last year. We were rewarded with beautiful variegated blooms this spring.

I hope you’re also having a beautiful start to your spring flower friends☀️

ITS MY THIRD BIRTHDAY!!!

Well, not really. But today is the third anniversary of OAK being official!! Here’s a throwback photo to my first flower stand at The Healing Collective 3 years ago 😍

The past 3 years have been such a gift, I’ve learned so much about flowers, life, who I am, what it takes to run a business, and on and on and on. Thank you to everyone who has been here from the very beginning and to those just joining in on the flower fun! Running headfirst into year 4 and beyond! 🤩🥹🍀🌼

Happy Valentine’s Day lovelies♥️

Happy December flower friends♥️

What a year! What a life! Sometimes I have to pinch myself thinking about this flower filled life of mine. I’m so thankful to all of you for being here and making it all possible. It feels like a day ago we were admiring the first flowers of spring and dreaming of summer weddings. And now December has settled in like a warm blanket and OAK is officially on break. It’s time to turn inwards, reflect, cozy up, and prep for next year’s flowers.

Next year is going to bring some changes and things are going to look a little different. I love weddings. I love wedding flowers. I love working with my beautiful couples as they bring their lives together into something new. I feel so blessed and honored to have been a part of so many beautiful beginnings.

But at the same time, I’ve been struggling. Struggling with chronic pain and feeling like something wasn’t “quite right”. I’ve always been the type of person to push through, mind over matter, and I’m realizing I can’t do that anymore.

I recently received a diagnosis that confirmed what I’ve felt for years. And while I’ve been happy to finally know what’s going on, it also brings so much sadness. Sadness because it confirmed what I already knew deep down; that I have to change. That I can’t keep ignoring what’s right in front of me and I have to prioritize my health.

What does this mean for OAK? It means there will be a recentering of my business. I will not be taking any large event clients or weddings in 2024 and will be focusing more on elopements, flower subscriptions, and workshops. I’m thinking of this as an opportunity to realign my business with my values of sustainability, artistic expression, and making beautiful flowers available to more people.

I hope to see you all along this journey as we pivot into something new. I’ll be sharing more updates on my flower subscription for next year within the next couple of weeks. Thank you for being here and I can’t wait to see where this new path leads us✨

Today we planted a Coast Live Oak tree :)

This native tree will serve several very important purposes:

1. Coast Live Oaks serves as a cornerstone for wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem, its acorns attract a wide variety of birds and butterflies - over 270 species rely on these trees for habitat and food.

2. They amend the soil over time with their own leaves and build the natural mycorrhizal fungus in the soil they need to thrive. Gradually, they become islands of natural fertility that improve the health of the nearby plants. The soil on the back of this lot is heavy clay soil that needs improving.

3. Privacy: this tree can grow anywhere from 20-70 feet tall with a wide canopy. When we first moved here there was a “hedge” of Brazilian pink peppercorn trees. Two of the trees had to be removed leaving a large open area. Instead of planting non-native again, we decided to make a different choice.

So excited to enjoy this beautiful tree for years to come! I worked with Bunyan Bros Tree Service to plant this tree and prune some large plum trees on the property and would highly recommend working with them if you need an arborist in SLO County!

Crazy to think that this was two years ago already! Time flies, you learn a lot, and then you look back and go “wait…what??” Love seeing how far OAK has come in the past couple years♥️

This year I’ll be hosting a wreath making workshop at ! We’ll be sipping wine and making beautiful holiday wreaths. Hope to see you there 🥂

First day of November and I’m looking back on some 2023 wedding photos like 😭😍🫨

We’re in November which means it’s “No-vember” for me! I like to take a light break in November after wedding season. End of year tidy up before wreath season and life gets crazy with vacations and visiting family.
Which means besides a few posts here and there I won’t be as active on socials.

I also take time to reflect on the past year and plan how next year is going to look! And so far next year is going to look quite different! Stay tuned for OAK announcements soon✨

Let’s talk repurposing flowers 🌼

Some florists are not a fan of repurposing flowers for a number of reasons. And if you decide to do it yourself after the ceremony you DO take a risk of damaging the pieces during the move. Personally, I love it and I recommend it often to my brides!

Moving flower centerpieces:

1. Lets you get more use out of those blooms. Why only use that beautiful archway for a short part of the event? If possible, move that statement piece somewhere it can be appreciated for the whole event!

2. Helps you save money. If you’re ballin on a budget (who isn’t these days!), moving floral pieces can save money instead of having multiple spaces decorated.

Make sure you talk to your florist about how to make it work for your event! There’s a lot of thought and planning that goes into the mechanics of each piece, so you’ll have to make sure that they’re able to be moved and still look great!

In this pic the archway and aisle meadows were both moved to the sweetheart table, creating a beautiful floral impact for this special space 😍

hey…I’m 30!

A bit of a deviation from my normal posts, I don’t usually like being on the other side of the camera. But the effervescent, wonderful, and verrrryyyy talented .nadine captured these birthday pictures and there seemed like no better time to share them 🥰

I feel so different inside and out compared to 1 year ago and every day feels like a new evolution and adventure. I feel more connected with myself and in true alignement than I ever have. I’m leaning into trust and intuition and I can’t wait to see where it leads, for me and for OAK 🙌🏼✨

ps: if you’re into the floral art I’m wearing in these pics, keep an eye out for a special announcement in the next coming weeks🤭

Officially wrapped up the 2022 season! I’ll be closed until January 2nd 2023.

I wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who supported OAK this year! From buying flowers and wreaths, allowing me to be a part of your wedding, or simply spreading the word, it’s been a huge learning curve as my first year full time (!) and I’ve had such an amazing time learning, growing, and creating with all of you.

Hoping you all have a wonderful Christmas (or whatever you celebrate!) and looking forward to another beautiful year. See you soon!
