In the mist of a whirlwind spring wedding season, we squeezed in a very colorful awards event for

Make sure your bridal party is on your level for your wedding day
💃🏻🕺🏼👯♀️👯🪩🎉🍾🪅
Love this detail
When you already have a buffet menu displayed, or you have several stations (hello taco bar AND personal pizzas!) why double up on personalized menus?
It’s summer solstice 🌞
The longest day of the year
Soak up the sun
And get those sparklers ready because my favorite holiday is just around the corner!!!

Altered your bridal dress?
Upcycle those fabric scraps!
On your wedding day, I love tying in (no pun intended) little details that matter to you.
Using those extra dress scraps to wrap the bridal bouquet allows for a seamless visual transition from the florals to the dress.

Looking forward to partnering with once again in June for another honors event.
Thank you for every opportunity to expand my creative brain 🙏🫶

Flatlays
When putting together your inspo or Pinterest board, don’t forget to add ideas for your Flatlay/detail photos.
Important people who should know about the items you want in the shot:
📸Photographer
Typically these shots can be taken by the assistant while the lead photographer is shooting the bride getting ready. BUT if the lead photographer doesn’t know about these items ahead of time it can potentially delay the photography timeline
🗓️Coordinator
They kind of need to know everything, what can I say 🤷🏻♀️
👯♀️Bridal Party/Family Member
They can help locate items and have them ready to go while the bride/groom is getting ready
💐Florist
Boutonnières & bouquets can be incorporated into the shots, but at the very least the florist will likely add in a few loose florals to help tie the whole day/look together
No filter needed
Break of dawn light is always my saving grace ☺️🌄
Mixing up table designs will always steal my heart.
Here’s some reasons why incorporating a few different designs at your wedding reception might work for you:
• Budget •
Splurging $400 on some tables, while scaling back $150 on other tables is called “bride math”, not being cheap 😉
• Guest Experience •
Having a few tables with more luxurious designs, or floral recipes, could be a way to give those closest to you the VIP experience
• Venue Layout •
An indoor banquet hall and an outdoor olive grove aren’t exactly going to have the same floor plan. If you’re already mixing up round and rectangle tables, it makes sense to mix up the centerpiece designs.

Give them water!
to get a little more technical-
Pick a finger
stick it in the vase
if you can’t feel the water then your flowers are thirstaaaay 🥵💦
…and just because there is foam in the vase, doesn’t mean it has an endless water source
✌️🫶💐
The perfect mood for your event begins with the perfect lighting 🤌
…and makes you forget it was the day LA got the most rain in a day 🫣

First arrangement of 2024
At the end of 2023 I was really into organic neutrals
💖
What flower trends or color combos is everyone feeling this year?
💖
DM me a pic of a fave vase you have in your collection and we can collab on some custom designs!
I love seeing the bride & groom having fun! I mean isn’t it easy to run around and have fun than it is to stand and pose?
🤩🥳💃🏻🕺🏼👩❤️👨🥂🍾
Not the traditional Christmas morning flowers or breakfast, but perfect nonetheless
Grateful for all that life provides me
Before I get into the details, I must rejoice with:
✨I’m actually doing this flower thing & really love it!
✨I welcome a complaint or fail as a wondeful opportunity to learn & expand my brain power…I preach this constantly to my kids. I believe this mindset sets apart leaders/followers owners/employees
✨YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW! I’m always seeking out the advice of more seasoned florists, but until I encounter a problem, I will probably have cracks & weaknesses whereby mistakes happen and my ego takes a hit 🤷🏻♀️
Okay- time for some details:
-The was my FIRST & LAST “delivery only” wedding 🙅♀️
-The budget was extremely tight but I took it because I really wanted to work with the colors ❤️💕 (lame excuse and not exactly what the bank account statement want to hear)
The fails:
-Candles weren’t packed properly & broke…kind of a big deal because it was the little decor they had on the table (I think some survived but I can’t quite remember at this point in time)
-Client didn’t open up the stuffy room & left the flowers in there for 5+ hours with no AC (in the summer, in the afternoon) 🔥🫠☠️🥀🥀🥀🥀
-Contract wasn’t signed 😩😩
-I had to negotiate how much $ to refund them, which basically left me with zero profit 😎
-One of the flower crowns got left behind in the studio with another order…but we made it get there somehow (1hr away)
And the most annoying comment of this whole situation:
“Well it looked like you had more important events to go to because that one got all the coverage on social media”
…ummmm, yes, a client who pays me to literally stand at their party for 3hrs and make bouquets will get social media coverage. I guess we could have done BTS of my driver delivering the flowers to your event but that sounds boring 🥱
As one must say after surviving the battle-
ONWARD AND UPWARD!✊
💛🧡💛🧡
You know it’s a premium arrangement when you take a pic and can’t see the vase
It’s me! The thankful florist (I know, cliché Thanksgiving sentimental reference) 🦃🍠🥐🪅
Here’s some random facts for those new to my page, those not so new, and those on vacay (endlessly scrolling on their phones for BF sales)
🧦 I hate (don’t) wearing socks
🫒 There are no need for blacks olives when we have other delicious options
🔋 Phone is always in the red & desperately needs a good charging
👑 I may start to speak rather formal in the coming days because I am fixated on
🧬 Excelled in O Chem in college- genetics not so much & relied heavily on the curve
If you read this in it’s entirety, thank you
If you have ever supported my business, thank you
If I am even a consideration for your future events, thank you, and let’s talk 😉

I don’t like turkey

Once upon a time (in the dreaded year of 2020) I was on unemployment. I rejoiced at the days I took multiple orders and made $100 in one day! Fast forward a mere 2yrs, 1 month & 8 days into doing this flower thing full time. This hammock is sentimental to me because it was a gift to myself in that dreaded year. This hammock was purchased with almost all the money I made in 1 month. $1,000 we’ll spent …and gosh I look back and I am so grateful for the voice inside me that pushed me to keep at this flower thing. Thank you to all who have supported me with your $10 smudge sticks purchases & your $10,000 wedding budgets. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me, for baring with me as I figure it out, and for growing with me. I’m tired from today’s event…so now I nap.

Yay! We back with more #flowerfriday vids…..ummm, and flowers lookin more alive than my tired face 🥴 Here’s some key takeaways PRICE- #foreverflorals cost like 2-3x more than fresh OPTIONS- Endless. Sizes, shapes, colors (or not), etc….it can all be done! WHEN ORDERING- Describe the shape & size that you’d like. Do you want it in a vase? Maybe a simple wrapped bouquet? How about on a wreath? Do you like green eggs & ham? …I feel like Sam I Am with all the options 😆 I DO have some wonderful focal flowers like protea, roses, and lotus pods but I was being lazy and didn’t grab them for the vid. Lol….I’d hardly call that yarrow I showed you a “focal flower”..but I did.

In season now! Grows great in so many US climates, including here in LA. Go ahead and give them a try if you want to grow them Colors- Think summer sunset…pinks, yellows, oranges, and some fuschja Season- Late summer to early fall What I love- Sturdy stems…Layers of fluffy petals…that bright contrast “eye” at the center…cheery, girly colors Care tip- These do best when you place in warm water, of course, after you’ve given them a nice angled cut LET ME KNOW- • How familiar are you with these flowers? • Where do you pick yours up..grocery store/your garden?
I think this is a vid for the fans of #traderjoesflowers ….& your reminder to never overlook the greenery & filler flowers they have stashed all together tin in one bucket Why I love #solidago •Affordable •Versatile for every type of design •Great to spray paint when dried •Vibrant color •Full texture While it really peaks here in Southern California during the summer-ish time, you can find this [almost] year round, at a higher price. Let me know if you’ve seen these in Trader Joe’s 🙋🏻♀️ Let me know if you’ve overlooked them 🤦🏻♀️ Let me know if you’ll keep an eye out for them during your next Trader Joe’s run 👀 #solidago #fillerflowers #fillerflower #flowerfriday #flowervideos #flowereducation #traderjoesflowers #southerncaliforniaflorist #venturacountyflorist #simivalleyflorist #weddingflorist #flowercrownflowers #yellowflowers #brubakerfloral #privatehireflorist
