Nature continues to offer the most extraordinary inspirations.

Last week at , I found myself thinking about bearded irises and the surface of the moon — photos sent back revealing that the moon was not grey, brown and white as we see it from earth, but rather a vibrant palette of rust, ochre, lavender buried in what we assume is just grey. The throat of an iris dissolving into violet. Butterfly ranunculus in a certain light.

The cosmos and the garden have always been speaking the same language.

From Inspiration to reality! What an incredible spring this has been —

While in Antwerp last week, I visited the Plantin-Moretus Museum — a place that quietly reminded me that art and science have always been deeply intertwined.

For centuries before photography existed, botanists, naturalists, and scientists documented their discoveries through drawing. The more observant and detailed the illustration, the more knowledge could be shared. Art was not separate from science. It was essential to it.

Prior to my arrival in Belgium, I found myself completely captivated by the Artemis mission through back home in Houston. I was obsessed with the daily updates, and I learned that astronauts trained not only in photography — so they could document landscapes and details no human had ever seen so closely before — but also in language itself. They studied how to describe what they were witnessing with precision and clarity before the rest of the world could see it for themselves.

That idea stayed with me.

How observation shapes understanding. How beauty and documentation coexist. How color exists in nature in ways we often overlook until someone teaches us how to truly see it. And how, time and time again, we only need to look to nature itself to find the most inspiring color palettes imaginable.
When photographs from space revealed the extraordinary tones hidden within the surface of the moon — rust, ochre, lavender, ash, gold — I kept thinking about flowers. About the throat of a bearded iris dissolving into violet petals. About the strange complexity of Vovos tulips. About the way butterfly ranunculus seem almost translucent in certain light.

Nature continues to offer the most extraordinary inspirations.

Much of the work I created during my last retreat, in many ways, became my interpretation of that discovery — somewhere between the garden and the cosmos.

2025 brought a tremendous amount of growth for The Petaler, but it also brought a great deal of clarity.

We created beautiful work this past year. Work that I am incredibly proud of. But somewhere along the way, I realized that the pace, the pressure, and certain environments we found ourselves in no longer felt aligned with who I wanted to be as a creative or where I wanted to take this business long term.

I found myself asking difficult questions: What do I actually want this company to feel like? What kind of work do I want to create? Who do I want to create alongside?

At the heart of everything we do is a genuine love of flowers, nature, beauty, and thoughtful design. Somewhere along the way, the noise of growth, prestige, expectations, and constant production began to overshadow the quiet joy that made me fall in love with this work in the first place.

There was a moment last year — exhausted, emotionally depleted, collapsed on the floor of a hotel room in Paris, crying — when I realized something needed to change. So I stepped back. The business changed. The team changed. I changed.
Part of returning to the root of it all has been . Emily has shaped me so deeply over the past few years — not just as a designer, but as a creative person. Through her workshops, her gardens, and the incredible community she has cultivated, I have been reminded again and again why I fell in love with flowers in the first place. And then there is Emily herself. It takes a very special person to pour that much work and love into a garden, only to gather a motley crew of strangers each year to cut it all down.

This year, I found myself exiting the train at 11:59 for a 12:00 PM pickup, and as I came down the station stairs, I knew immediately who was already there waiting — the smiles, the laughter, the rain boots — I had spotted the group. Because that is the thing about : it attracts a very special kind of person. The curious, the adventurous, the people eager to learn, and the people willing to stay open to wonder. I have found time and time again that those people are my people.

What a week ahead! First up, a stop in Paris to deliver supplies and review rentals for our June wedding in the south of France. Then on to Antwerp for a 2027 site visit, and finally to the artist retreat at — creating with all the early summer goodies in Emily’s magical garden and reconnecting with old friends who we just learned will be there too!

The summer season is almost here, and we couldn’t be more ready.

Events this year are going to be bursting with color, movement, and unexpected forms — so much of it inspired by the sea and by Monet. A stop at the Musée de l’Orangerie felt like the only right way to begin.

À bientôt!

It’s our favorite time of year — that sweet spot between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, when the florals are, in our opinion, the most beautiful they’ll be all year.

Next week, we’re headed to for a creative reset in Emily’s garden. The bearded irises are in full bloom, the last of the tulips are hanging on, and we cannot wait to spend a week surrounded by it all in Belgium.

From there, it’s back to Houston for a couple of events — and then we pack our bags again for the south of France, where we’ll be celebrating Bree and Jason’s wedding.

The next few weeks have so much in store! We hope you’ll follow along!

Spring dinner party scenes.

This season has brought with it a shift—one we’ve been quietly preparing for.

As we move toward the launch of , where full-scale planning and production will live, will return to its roots—focused entirely on flowers.

A thoughtful transition requires a moment of pause. We’ll be stepping back slightly before returning to weddings full time in 2027.

In the meantime, we’ll be here—creating, refining, and preparing for what’s to come. Stay tuned and follow along…

It has been a season of hibernation here.

A slower rhythm. Days spent experimenting, rearranging, letting ideas unfold without urgency. Winter has a way of softening everything — even the way we create.

And then all of a sudden, there was movement again!

A whirlwind trip through France — walking through gardens not yet in bloom, tracing light across old stone, filling pages with notes, sketches, fragments of what is to come. A visit to in May, J&B’s wedding in June in the south of France…

This table feels like the threshold between the two.

A quiet return. A gentle reawakening.

Scenes from an early spring celebration at home — where everything is just beginning to open (and proof our own tables are always filled with flowers!)

Cafe latte roses will never not be a favorite.

There is something about that muted, smoky blush — neither pink nor taupe — that feels impossibly sophisticated. They soften deeper tones, elevate neutrals, and photograph like silk.
When they come from the petal count, the shape, the longevity… unmatched.

Some flowers are trends.�These are standards.

Spring is one of the most generous seasons for wedding flowers.

Lilac heavy on the branch. Garden roses opening in layers. Sweet peas twisting toward the light. Everything feels alive, fragrant, and fleeting in the most romantic way.

When flowers are chosen in their natural moment, the design does not need to shout. It simply unfolds. We are so excited for all beautiful spring blooms coming our way in the next few weeks!

02/25/2026

As we prepare to return to France next week for site visits ahead of our Summer 2026 weddings, we’ve been reflecting on some of our favorite venues across the country.

From contemporary museums in Paris to historic châteaux in the countryside, each setting carries its own atmosphere and rhythm.

What began as a love for the language has become something more lasting — producing meaningful celebrations for our couples in a place that has long felt like home.

02/23/2026

Spring is our favorite season for a reason.

There is a softness in April and May that cannot be replicated any other time of year — lilacs that perfume the air before guests even see them, ranunculus layered like silk, sweet peas twisting gently through the stems, hellebore with their quiet, nodding heads, and lily of the valley tucked close like a secret.

This bouquet was built in that exact window - when everything feels fresh, generous, and fleeting all at once. It is why we go back to it as a reference point over and over

Spring flowers do not shout. They unfold.

They move with you. They soften light. They carry fragrance that lingers long after the ceremony ends.
There is something deeply romantic about choosing flowers that feel alive in their season - not forced, not overworked, not trying too hard. Just abundant in the most natural way.

If you are planning a spring wedding, this is the kind of palette that allows everything else to breathe: the dresses, the landscape, the laughter between you and your closest friends.
