It’s about YOUR story. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event or a birthday party, the design of an event is about you. We like to incorporate details that only a few might know. Did your grandmother love orchids and that’s why they are in your bouquet? Or did you select a venue not because it was perfect for your vision, but because it was somewhere you frequented as a child… that’s the level of detail we LOVE to know.
It’s the little things that can sometimes make the biggest impact.

Over a year in the making, months of planning and hours of labor, we did it! Ian and Zoë, along with help from our entire team presented this past Wednesday, “Weddings Unveiled” at the American Institute of Floral Design’s Annual Symposium.
It was an absolute honor and privilege to share our story and beautiful wedding designs. We are grateful to for just the consideration, let alone the invitation to be a Main Stage program. To our team, we are eternally grateful for your hard work, dedication and talent in bringing this presentation to life. Without each of you, it would not be possible. ❤️ Thank you for capturing some of these images.

Working with Kirsten and Scott, their love for one another could just be felt when being in the room with them. They are the kind of couple that makes your heart smile.
During a meeting Kirsten shared, “If I had to wait to get married, it’s been worth the wait, because I get to marry Scott.” That statement left a lasting impression and was a gentle reminder of why we love what we do and are so honored to work with such incredible couples. Congratulations and happy one week anniversary!

This past season has been filled with tent weddings, so tall designs are less common due to the risk of wind. But tall arrangements are such a beautiful sight! They bring visual weight to a space by creating pops of height and dimension in the reception.
We love how this design stepped outside of using a traditional glass vase as an elevation.

Modern Della Robbia. Tradition meets contemporary in these designs. Textural blooms paired with fruits, veggies and other natural elements, it creates a feast for the eyes! It’s been the event season of color and fruit and it’s a look we hope that will stay for quite some time!

This past season, we have seen an abundance of color. We’ve loved every minute of it. From bold palettes to unexpected combinations, color has been incorporated in a variety of ways.
This palette was a favorite of ours. and created the perfect combination of details that took this an unlikely combination and created something so special, we’re still dreaming about it.

One event, 5 different linens. We love taking a color palette and transiting it throughout the evening or in the different event locations.
With endless rental options, we recommend mixing things up vs. keeping everything the same throughout. It keeps the event interesting even if your color palette remains the same.

We love a client with impeccable style and an incredible vision that allow us to bring it to life!
Lily and Peter’s wedding was initially scheduled for November 2022, but Hurricane Ian had other plans. They kept their initial wedding date and moved it to New York for an intimate ceremony. But their Boca Grande wedding we had been designing with Lily for almost a year, got put on hold as our beloved recovered from the storm.
But it was well worth the wait! Lily’s vision remained the same and we could not wait to see it come to life. We’re delighted to share that it is featured on ! We invite you to pour a glass of wine and enjoy all of her beautiful little details!

A thoughtfully designed layout allows for strategically placed design elements to anchor your reception. And when your cake vignette is this beautiful, it deserves to be the start of the show! (Aside from the beautiful couple)
We are all smiles this week coming off of Katie and John’s beautiful wedding this past weekend! This is our second event this year working with Katie’s family and we just adore them all, and of course now their newest addition, John!
