“Pinterest is a great tool to collect visuals that help set the tone for your overall vision, but make sure to comb other sources too. Swatches of dresses and linens, paper samples from invitations, photos of the architectural details of your venue, or even the music you’ll be playing—all of these details help us get a good idea of your style and help us to create something that is unique to you.”
—Amy Backman, owner and florist

“I love designs that are offbeat, and take you one step beyond what you already see. I always think, ‘How can I make the hair raise up on your arms?’ I want to stir emotions. My bouquet is scented with herbs and I included baby apricots and acorns. And I figured, let’s put some cherries on top—we’ll make a dessert!” —Martha Lunde, owner and florist
