meet our founder
this is kate
She's a business-owner and floral fairy-godmother who's passion has always been rooted in nature. Born and raised in Massachusetts, she started her floral design training at 16, working under the watchful eye of a seasoned designer in her hometown. Over the next 10 years, she went on to study politics, business and marketing in college, all while working and training as a floral designer on the side. A few years later, while contemplating pursuing her MBA in Vermont, she decided to instead pursue her ‘real life’ MBA by buying the floral design studio she was working in, becoming a business owner at the age of 23.
Over the next 4 years, she grew personally and professionally, and developed a reputation for romantic, garden-inspired arrangements. Now, thoroughly loving this life of a creative entrepreneur, she crafts floral arrangements for celebrations on mountainsides, in beautiful vineyards, countryside estates and charming inns.

Total boss babe, dog mom to Leo and Cali the Cavapoos, loving wife and adoring auntie. Fluent in New Girl and Parks 'n Rec quotes. She can lift very heavy things at CrossFit, and also perfectly place the most delicate flowers. When she's not in the studio, you can find her out on the Chesapeake, or hiking with her husband and pups. You should probably just leave her there, she's tired and hasn't slept for days.
All our favorite things:
01
Statement installations
Your love is the star of the show, but we think you also deserve a beautiful scene to say 'I do'.
02
Ranunculus Boutonnieres
A modern twist on the traditional bout. This F&V staple brings a little extra personality to the classic menswear.
03
greenery. on. everything.
Why not bring the fresh feeling of the outdoors, in? We believe there's no such thing as too much.
04
fur babies
You won't find a team more in love with their four-legged children, and yours.
05
candle accented centerpieces
Tapered, pillar or votive? Our answer is yes.

We like to specialize in the little details, because sometimes the smallest flowers make the biggest difference.
