✨ Whimsical ✨

A word often used to describe FCFC's signature style.
After determining the overall "look and feel" for an event, I look at the venue and determine what will make the most visual impact.
Knowing budgets are not bottomless, I encourage couples to focus on designs that bring a WOW factor instead of smaller details that might go unnoticed.
Focusing on larger, impactful designs will bring the most life to your photos and event atmosphere.
One of the most common things we hear is "Wedding flowers are not memorable" and my first thought is always "Were they not memorable or were the designs not memorable?"
A significant amount of weddings feature the same designs over and over again. They are typically all white with a combination of roses, hydrangeas, ferns in clear vases.
But.... what if they weren't?
What if the flowers included interesting varieties you may have never seen before? Or a combination of textures, movement, and dimension that makes you want to jump right into an arrangement and find everything there is to discover?
What if there were interesting foliages, or produce used? Or unexpected, luxury rental containers and candle holders that make you go OoOo?! Or what about a color palette so delicious it makes you want to take a bite?!
What if flowers were hanging from the ceiling, or dripping off the bar?!
I bet you won't forget THOSE wedding flowers!
At FCFC I believe in creating one-of-a-kind designs that are a little unexpected, will wow your guests and that undeniably reflect you as a couple.

✨This bouquet is dripping in sophistication just like our bride J. ✨
The modern cascade bouquet is something dreams are made of.
The combination of phalaenopsis orchids, anthurium, cream roses, and dreamy shades of blush and peach from the dahlias, cupcake cosmos, flamingo roses, and the smallest hint of burgundy ninebark are enough to leave you breathless.

✨ First Day of Spring ✨
And in true Northern Michigan fashion.... it snowed!
Even-so the seasons has shifted.
I feel it in the air. Warmer, brighter days are ahead!
This means local flowers are soon to follow!!!!!
Spring is my favorite time of year. It's like a reward for surviving winter.
Mother nature starts to show off by adding some color to our world. The sun shines brighter for longer, and we get to see flowers every single day!!
We would love to design something beautiful for your special day.
There are still dates available for 2025- 2026 don't hesitate to reach out!

✨Another GLFEE weekend in the books✨
For a weekend I look forward to all year, the 2025 Great Lakes Floral & Event Expo did not disappoint!
I had the biggest surprise of being awarded
" Young Person of the Year-2025"

It was an absolute honor to be recognized by my peers and mentors. I wouldn't have made it this far without all of them, and continuously thank them all for encouraging me to try new things and reach for new heights.
I also had the honor of teaching my first workshop at the conference, and although I was terribly nervous, it couldn't have been a better experience!
My class had of some of the best students! They all tackled their arrangements, and we all grew in confidence together. They also had me laughing and smiling the whole entire time. Such a great group!
It felt great to give back some of the knowledge after learning so much from all of them throughout the years.
The rest of the weekend was packed full of inspiring mainstage shows, workshops, our annual north central meeting, networking, and flowers everywhere!!
I am already counting the days till next year's expo and getting pretty excited about the AIFD convention this year in Palm Springs where I will be inducted!!!! 🥰
What an exciting year it has been and will continue to be 💜

☀ California dreamin' on this winters day☀
The sun is shining in Northern Michigan today and it is just what the doctor ordered!
I'll be throwing on some records and enjoying the good vibes of the day, pretending I am somewhere warmer!
Going back to R&K's wedding day as it always gives me a 60's/70's vibe with k's lace dress, this delicious earth-toned color palette, and the whimsy flowers of late summer.
This wedding is a great example of repurposing your ceremony arrangements. We ALWAYS suggest getting the most bang for your buck and one of the ways to do so is repurposing!
Here we took the arbor arrangement and fashioned it into a hanging floral cloud to adorn the head table, once the party moved inside!
Looking to make your day easy breezy?! Hire us for full- service and we will take care of every detail from planning, designing, rentals, set-up, transfer, and tear down. All while you get to savor every second of your special day.

🍫 Did someone say "Chocolate"?!
If you haven't heard the color of the year is the yummiest shade of chocolate brown titled "Mocha Mousse"
Delicious right?! 🤤
Now we know a color palette of all neutrals is effortlessly stunning but how bout adding a little......SPICE 🌶️
I thought it was the perfect time to bring back A & N's vibrant day featuring a scoop of toffee roses!
This unexpected palette brings so much personality with its pop of neutrals, splash of magenta, a sprinkle of paprika, and that scoop of toffee 😘
Looking to bring a little spice to your event? 🌶️
From the color palette, to the flower choices to the rental containers and decor.... I got what you need!
