"The inherent need to constantly be creating something new is what led me here..I am utterly obsessed with flowers and designing my clients' wedding florals has been my absolute favorite part of what I do. After a lengthy career of coordinating all of the logistics of our weddings and events, I've re-evaluated what I can bring to the table as both an entrepreneur and designer. It was time for me to shift my focus a bit and listen to the little voice inside my head. I'm over the moon to be embarking on this new adventure!
