Welcome 2024! It's been a minute since I have introduced myself. I am Jordy! I am the sole owner and operator of Pinewood and Petals. I make wedding bouquets and floral arrangements from wood and preserved plants - all of my flowers are wooden (Yes, I promise). My mission: provide an affordable, eco-friendly alternative for wedding florals, while supporting my creative soul. I love fresh flowers (who doesn't?!), but I am always sad to see such beautiful flowers be thrown away at the end of a wedding, after only having showcased their glory for just a few hours. So, building bouquets with wooden flowers, and preserved, dried plants was my solution to making one small, positive change for our community.
My business is small, and for me, that's what keeps it special. You will find my flower shop located at my home, where I have a small workshop in my backyard. I only take on 25-35 weddings a year, since I do everything solo. I also tell everyone I meet, that Pinewood and Petals is my "side hustle". I am a full-time marine biologist, and I knew from a very young age, I was going to achieve that goal. Get me talking, and I will tell you about my work, habitat conservation, fish biology, shark anatomy, or fossils. I enjoy connecting with my clients - I want you to be comfortable communicating exactly what you want, and also have the creative freedom to express yourself through your flowers. Since my flowers are handmade and hand-painted, YOU get a lot of say on what you want! Pinewood and Petals has definitely grown over the last 3 years, and I am always learning new tricks to improve my bouquets. I am looking forward to 2024 and all the new opportunities that await! I'm almost 50% booked for this year, so don't delay! (I am fully booked through May 15). Thank you all!
