Golden Flora

I need you all to know that I am really good at mood boards😅 which actually means I’m really good at interpreting and combining all your comments and ideas and colors and turning it into a cohesive floral look. I absolutely LOVE seeing it come together.

Your party is 70s themed? I know just the right flower to include (CELOSIA). You’re getting married in May and you love pink? We’re including coral charm peonies!

These are all real life snippets of proposals I’ve created and sent out to brides this year, but this goes for baby showers, funerals, birthday parties etc✨

The all greenery arch though🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻😍

Hot tip for all florists (that was passed along to me): pandora vine is the most whimsical perfect greenery for this. It’s hard to tell in the photo, but there were bouncy little sprigs hanging out all over the arch😍

Some more photos from Hayden and Josh’s wedding in downtown Cary! Love love love.

Local flowers for the win✨

Hayden requested her bridal bouquet be sourced as sustainably as possible and I was able to do it almost entirely with local flowers.

So then I get these photos with the BEES loving her bouquet? I die.

Thank you for capturing that little moment😍

And to for the blooms!

Pausing for a minute to show you queeny zinnias that are the most delicious muted ombré ruffly zinnias in town😍

We are in full blown local zinnia season and since I’m not a bright purple or red girl, these are speaking most to me!!

Eek! This worked so well last time, so I am putting this in to the Instagram universe and seeing what happens!

Looking for someone who works well independently and can very part time help me fill orders and do the day to day tasks of running a florist. Would love to find someone with some basic flower knowledge or design skills that can be grown and fine tuned with my help!

An absolute *must* is Saturday availability🤗

(Second slide shows how to apply)

Sent this wild child out yesterday.

I miss working with tropicals! (I used to work with a LOT of tropicals when I lived in CA. We would source them from Hawaii- they were such good quality and so reasonably priced!! Not so much here🥺)

Anyways please take a look at these purple mini bananas. And protea! And the blue pampas that just felt right😅

Yellow centered flowers are some of my all time FAVS. Here are some of the tip top best in my book:

1. Japanese anemones and dahlias (does this not look like a still life painting? Are the two anemones in love?!)

2. Clair De Lune peonies- the happiest flower I know.

3. Strawflower!

4. Ranunculus (special poppy hybrid)

5. Poppy!

All local from 💕

Sending flowers to your people never gets old💖

To all my cat parents and friends of cat parents!

Did you know I have an “Extra Cautious Cat Friendly Bouquet” available on my website?

If a sender chooses this option, I narrow my flower varieties down to a very small window that has been approved by the ASPCA. No greenery. Absolutely no lilies (and a lot of other flowers🤪)

I include this little card in with the card message so the recipient can rest easy that their curious cats are safe with these blooms.

(I sent multiple of these out this week, which reminded me to make this post!🐈🐈‍⬛)

This lush lady (plus others) got picked up by for a bridal shower this weekend💗

I love scrolling through my page to see the ebbs and flows of the local flowers. In the spring I was posting all poppies and anemones. Now I’ve got at least one dahlia in every arrangement that goes out (usual more)!

I love rhythms and seasons so much❄️🌷🌞🍁

Summer in a photo😍😍😍

I did a mini photoshoot with my snapped dahlia because I couldn’t let her completely go to waste.

Pretty party things🎀🌸

Always a pleasure to do florals for my friend Laura at

It’s such an honor to have a fellow business owner choose me for their wedding day.

Corina owns and somehow we got connected on here when we first were opening our businesses around similar times. I’ve actually never met her in person (!!!), but the beauty of Instagram is that we’ve connected, sent countless messages, talked on the phone, I’ve met her mom etc.😜

Please scroll to the last photo- it doesn’t have a single fresh flower in it, but I had to include it because her guests GOT THE MEMO😍

Corina and Jack, your love story is adorable. I wish you all the best in this new chapter. Happy marriage!!!

Ps. If you’re ever in Clayton, go visit !!

Ps. let me do an advertisement for your app😅 it’s literally changed my life.

Are you getting married and love color? Let me do your flowers and do your photos!!! It is our favorite😍😍😍

As my business grows, I love finding others in the wedding industry that fit my non traditional vibe☺️

Peonies ft. agapanthus, tulips, and buddleia globosa🍊

HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING PRETTIER😭😍

When you find a bride who asks for an all green bouquet with hanging amaranthus, you know she is YOUR BRIDE. Caroline, you look absolutely stunning. Wishing you and Zach all the best adventures life has to offer💚

When your best friend of 20 YEARS who also loves flowers graduates nursing school TOP OF HER CLASS, you go wild with her bouquet.

Beyond proud and happy to share today with you, Rach🫶🏼🧡

And congrats to all 2024 graduates!!!

Do you avoid buying flowers because “they’re just going to die in a few days anyway?” These are my top 4 tips for prolonging their life up to 2 weeks!

(Ps. The beauty of nature is that it is fleeting and forces us to slow down to fully soak it up. Not everything is meant to last forever, but these steps should help you enjoy your blooms for a bit longer!✨)

Spring is MY SEASON. Is this the prettiest bouquet I’ve ever made?!

All local from 💕💕

The best thing I ever did for myself and my business was to make every arrangement I offer unique and custom made. I spent years at other florists copying arrangements from a picture that a customer had ordered online and it is soul sucking. Making everything I offer designer’s choice means:

1. You get the freshest and prettiest blooms. There is no scrounging around for old flowers just to replicate a picture.

2. You get an INSPIRED bouquet. I get to create and have fun and I think that comes through in my arrangements.

3. Your bouquet is always a one of a kind work of art which should make the receiver feel extra special.

This also means you’ve got to trust me🤗 All that to say, Mother’s Day is less than 3 weeks away and I’ve posted Mother’s Day arrangements on my website- which are no different than my everyday arrangements😂

You are guaranteed local, unique and happy blooms!

I’ve also included some local add on gifts this year if that speaks to you💕
