Full permission to be honest here?
Yes, wedding planning can be absolute magic – you’re dreaming up a sacred moment where you’ll gather everyone you love to celebrate a deeply significant, once-in-a-lifetime day.
In the same breath, wedding planning is spinning a thousand delicate plates
From the color pallet to the layouts to family expectations to napkin folds, every tiny choice demands painful attention to detail. It can feel impossible to know how to make it all work in a way that reflects you, your fiancé, and the brilliant story that brought you to this moment.
I should know. Planning my own wedding felt the same.
I was so lost in the whirl of trying to make everyone else happy with all my decisions that I nearly missed out on what my wedding day was always meant to be – a reflection of the love between me and the absolute love of my life, Alex (who, I’ll be honest with you, is both my best friend and mortal enemy but like…in a fun way). I was lucky enough to have found a good friend in my photographer who helped to pull me back into the purpose of the day and my goal as now as a wedding professional is to help be that anchor for my couples.
But here’s the thing: Designing the biggest event you’ll likely ever throw, where you’ll make one of the biggest decisions of your life, in front of nearly everyone you love? That’s a tall order.
That’s why we eliminate pressure from the process as we take you by the hand to create a vision that not only sets the tone of your whole event but tells the story of your love in a way only you can tell it.
We do this by leading you into a creative collaboration that makes dreaming up your floral design a breath of fresh air in the middle of your planning process. Our secret sauce is throwing out cookie-cutter presumptions and diving headfirst into the core of who you and your fiancé are as soulmates.
You bring your story, your style, and your most inspired concepts and we do what we do best: Translate those details into a tailored-to-you, soulful design. Nothing is copy and paste here. No two arrangements are the same because no two love stories are.
Our dream is you would walk into your wedding and find yourself in a space that embodies the unique and profound connection between you and your love with every detail radiating in celebration.
Because the nature that surrounds you on this day ought to reflect the magic of everything that aligned to bring your souls together for this very moment – the moment you both say yes to forever.
OUR VALUESWE LIVE and DESIGN BY
SPIRIT a special attitude or frame of mind, a lively or brisk quality in a person or a person’s actions
In all that we do, we aim to show up in our authentic, eccentric nature to create a positive, uplifting experience and atmosphere. It is our goal to create soulful, intentional design that captures each client’s unique spirit.
PERSONAL of, affecting, or belonging to a particular person rather than to anyone else
We are constantly inspired by our client’s unique stories and create experiences that are intentionally and specially made for each individual. Because we believe no two people are the same and celebrate each unique spirit, no two solutions we create are the same.
DEVOTION love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause
Because passion is at the heart of what we do, from planning to execution, we are committed to injecting love and enthusiasm in everything we touch. We are inspired by the unwavering devotion our clients have for one another.
CONNECTION a person connected with another especially by marriage, kinship, or common interest
Whether we are creating a personal gifting experience or celebrating a couple on their wedding day, we believe florals are a way to embody the special connection between two soulmates. We are a community-driven brand who seeks relationships that uplift and encourage through connecting with others.
MEET the ARTIST
FOUNDER, Lead Designer Emily Pennington
As a young girl, you would find Emily daydreaming under a canopy of green in the “City of Trees”, Sacramento. On her wedding day in the heart of downtown Sacramento, those same trees surrounded her. Today she still finds design inspiration in the verdure of her hometown.
Weddings can be stressful and magical and everything in between. Emily knows because her own wedding flowers were a disaster and she’s made it her mission to make sure no bride suffers the same fate. Flowers are some of the first elements that set the tone for your special day.
The best part of Emily’s day is when she gets involved at the start of the planning process to help a couple create the perfect creative concept. She knows that the perfect arrangement will create joyful memories for years to come.
Emily has been happily married to her husband Alex for 7 years and they are still unapologetically in love. When they’re not working, they spend time with their dogs and are both slightly addicted to traveling.
