DESIGN FLORAL EXPRESSIONS FOR YOUR BIG DAY
\\xa0
I\\u2019ve spent my life seeking to interpret the fleeting beauty and bounty of the world around us. I grew up in the Midwest with a curious and adventurous heart, endlessly digging in the dirt, gardening and hunting/camping with my father. After studying fine art and beginning my career as an artist, I soon realized my life\\u2019s passion was to cultivate the ways in which art and nature nourish and uplift the human body and spirit.

Quotes:
\\u201cI want to give them something that is going to be memorable.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cI cannot guarantee that I can get that exact flower if it\\u2019s out of season because I don\\u2019t use anything that isn\\u2019t at its peak.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cAs a designer in general, you want everything to be as cohesive and complimentary as possible so if they ask me for suggestions on a napkin color, I will give it.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cDon\\u2019t be scared to have the flowers you want. People say that the flowers don\\u2019t last but they really do. They last in your head. They last in the feeling they give people. They last for your guests. They last in the video and in the photographs. They last for a long time.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cFlowers extract emotion from people. You can just look at them and feel happier.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cWhat\\u2019s nice about florals is that there are so many ways to make a statement minimally. You don\\u2019t have to have over the top flowers to make a statement.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cThe longer that I have with the client and the longer that they have with me the more satisfied and set they will be for the event.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cWhen a client puts down the booking deposit, that books them for that day. It\\u2019s their day & they are my only client.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cWhen you have flowers around your house, whether dried or alive, they are beneficial for you to see and be around.\\u201d
\\xa0
\\u201cWhatever part of the event is the most important to you, start there and put your money there & then allocate the rest of it.\\u201d
