I’ve always been a little feral in the office jobs don’t want to see me coming kind of way. Barefoot in the garden, pockets full of seeds, dirt under my nails and flowers in my hands, mostly thanks to my late mother, a true horticulturist and lifelong flower fairy.
Before flowers fully took over my life, I tried my hand at a boss-babe chapter as a stage manager in professional Equity theater. I loved the creativity and the organized chaos, but the pace was intense and the people less than kind. So I pivoted toward beauty, photography, and weddings, where I found the same magic without the harsh edges. A wedding is really just like a Broadway show, only happier, more joyful, and best of all, it closes in one day!
After being a part of over one hundred weddings, I started noticing something that stuck with me. Bridal parties were often rushing the morning of the wedding, trying to throw together bouquets from grocery store flowers. That was the moment it all clicked. With my love for growing hard-to-find blooms and my deep understanding of the wedding and event world, I knew I could help.
The Flower Witch was born from that realization.
Growing flowers gives me a deep sense of purpose. I love helping couples navigate an already wildly expensive wedding market while also caring for the earth. Every flower is grown organically, with love, and with pollinators in mind. The bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies are just as important to me as the people carrying the bouquets.
Most of all, this work is about legacy. I may be the flower witch, but my mother was the original flower fairy. She lost her battle with cancer in 2023, and everything I grow is done in her memory.
