I would spend my days picking flowers from the side of my rural CT road, and skip home to create arrangements for my mother. Her peony bushes, roses on the arbor, rhododendron, zinnias, dahlias, daisies and lily of the valley would be picked clean. Fast forward to 2005, when my brother and his fiance were getting married. It was a small ceremony on a lake in Louisiana. When I found out that she did not have a bouquet, I immediately drove to the super Walmart in town, grabbed a bunch of flowers and supplies, and crafted a bridal bouquet in the hotel room. That simple bouquet sparked the realization that I needed to do more! Soon after, my faithful friends asked me to create floral designs for their showers, banquets and weddings. I learned by doing, and my hobby became something bigger. I have been so fortunate to have designed arrangements for countless weddings and other events. Each type of flower - its color, texture, shape - inspires me each time I work with it. I especially enjoy working with clients to be able to create the vision they dream of. Like Claude Monet, "I must have flowers always and always."
