Team Building
Hi! I'm Emily. I've been a professional florist for over 20 years, and I LOVE a bride who wants to get her hands on some flowers.
But before you order 400 stems and turn your garage into a flower shop, let's figure out what you're actually taking on.
DIY some. Buy some. Delegate some. Hire some. SKIP some.
Beautiful flowers.
Reasonable expectations.
A whole lot of fun.
Girl, you can absolutely make your own wedding flowers.

Maybe you're dying to make your bouquet.
Maybe your mom wants to handle the centerpieces.
Maybe Aunt Marge is perfectly happy making bud vases while drinking a glass of wine.
And maybe that giant ceremony installation is something you'd rather pay a professional to deal with.

ALL EXCELLENT OPTIONS.
BUT PLEASE DON'T VOLUNTEER YOURSELF FOR 47 ARRANGEMENTS BEFORE WE TALK.

I've made flowers for everything from enormous NYC weddings to my own wedding, and I can tell you that every arrangement doesn't need the same amount of attention.
Pick the things you care about.
Make room for the people who want to help.
And give yourself permission to skip the stuff nobody's going to miss.

THE WHOLE POINT IS TO GET MARRIED!

Hi, I’m Emily. I’m a Type B Florist.
And I LOVED that thing. 😂
My mom also wanted some extra arrangements, so naturally, I made those too.
Want to know what people remember from our wedding?
I once made a 27-FOOT FLOWER WALL for my own wedding.
Those extra arrangements? I could've floated a few garden roses in some vases and called it a day. HAHA!
After 20+ years as a professional florist, I've learned that some flowers deserve the big production.
And some flowers can just be... flowers.
I care about making beautiful things. A LOT.
I also care about having enough time to enjoy them.
THE FLOWER WALL.
THAT'S MY KIND OF FLORISTING.
okay, but what should I ACTUALLY DIY?
NOW LET'S MAKE SOME DECISIONS.
You've got the inspiration pictures.
You've got people volunteering to help.
You've possibly got a garage full of buckets already.
I made a free guide to help you figure out:
My FREE interactive DIY Wedding Flower Game Plan walks you through seven decisions to help you figure out what to DIY, simplify, delegate, hire out, or skip altogether.
You'll finish with a personalized, printable plan for YOUR wedding.
Because “we'll figure it out when the flowers arrive” is a sentence I'd rather you never have to say. LOL.
okay, you've got a plan. NOW WHAT?!
You've decided which flowers you're making.
Maybe you've even recruited a few willing helpers.
LOVE THAT FOR YOU!
But now come the questions.
How many flowers do I order?
WHERE do I order them?
How do I keep them alive?
How do I make the arrangements?
And where am I supposed to put everything until the wedding?!
ENTER: THE BLOOM BLUEPRINT™
It's my $47 interactive guide packed with 20+ years of professional florist experience, flower shopping advice, care instructions, tutorials, planning worksheets, and all the little details that can make wedding week interesting. HAHA!
I'll help you turn that Game Plan into actual flowers.
And when it's time to get ready for your wedding?
PUT DOWN THE CLIPPERS. YOU'RE THE BRIDE!
not planning a wedding? you can still hang out.
I've worked on glamorous NYC weddings, taught people to make beautiful arrangements, and learned a few things the hard way.
Sometimes we make flowers just because it's FUN.
Sometimes I tell stories about the ridiculous things that happen when you work with flowers for a living.
Either way, you're welcome here.
PRIVATE FLORAL WORKSHOPS
Come for the flowers. Stay for the stories.
Twenty years in the flower business. I've got stories. And receipts.
GARBAGE FLOWERS & GLAMOUR
I learned floral design with garbage flowers.
Literally.
