Hey , getting married in Pittsburgh but living in a different city? No sweat! Bramble & Blossom is here to be your long-distance flower BFF.

As a former NYC bride myself, trust me, I know the struggle. We use all the cool tech to video chat, so we can still get to know you and your vision face-to-face (even if it's through a screen). This way, you get the same hands-on experience as our local couples, just without the plane ticket! ✈️ (Shoutout to Kara & Matt, our awesome Chicago couple who got married at Heinz History Center!)

Plus, to help you visualize your floral magic, we send digital mockups and renderings. ✨ So, you can picture your wedding blooms even before you arrive in the Steel City.

So, after our initial chat, all you need is your phone to stay connected! We'll have two more virtual meetings before the big day, and you can text or DM us anytime with questions (seriously, anytime!).

Ready to ditch the planning stress? Let's chat! ✨

In case you missed it! My recent conversation with Debra Prinzing was just posted on the SLOW Flowers Society podcast! It was SUCH an honor to speak to Debra as part of the monthly meeting for Slow Flowers members in January!

Here's the introduction from Slowflowerspodcast.com:

"It’s engagement season and many of our wedding and event designers are busy at this time of year, consulting with prospective couples and pulling together concepts and proposals. For Slow Flowers designers, those who infuse their business values with sourcing and sustainable considerations, there’s an important added layer involved.

Today’s guest, Jessica Stewart, is well aware of the importance of educating clients about having a local and seasonal approach to designing their wedding flowers. We asked Jessica to unpack all the elements involved in running Bramble & Blossom, and to share her approach to communication during the sales process.

Jessica recently gave an incredibly detailed presentation for the January Slow Flowers Member (virtual) meetup and we recorded it to share it as today’s Podcast Episode. You’ll be treated to Jessica’s approach about how she designs for seasonality and sources from local flower farms to produce gorgeous, romantic, evocative weddings.

Jessica’s presentation includes details on how she prepares contracts + proposals; and how she sources and plans for weddings and installations. Her expertise is priceless and you’ll want to listen in."
