Always collecting inspiration from the unexpected beauty one finds in nature, Elizabeth looks to her background in the fine arts to fuse the melody of color and texture with inspirations from the environment around her to create flowers and events that are thoughtful, imaginative, and joyful.
With a degree in fine art photography and fashion styling from The London College of Fashion and a diploma in floristry from The Covent Garden Academy of Flowers, Elizabeth combines timeless techniques with modern inspiration culminating in original, meaningful designs that authentically capture a moment in time.
We are committed to using eco-friendly methodologies and removing single use plastics from our work wherever possible. We work with local, sustainable farmers to source our flowers and grow seasonal, one-of-a-kind blooms in our own cutting garden to add a striking note of the unexpected in all of our designs.
Classically trained in England with a background in fashion styling, Elizabeth brings an unparalleled eye for design to each event. She has traveled the world crafting flowers in a variety of environments and terrains, and is inspired by the beauty of nature’s imperfections. She uses her honed techniques to deliver an organic aesthetic that showcases each of our client’s unique personalities. In collaboration with our couples, she takes great joy in working with them to tell their story though floral artistry and thoughtful event design.
Available for work in even the most remote locations, she is known for creating artful designs that are elegant, refined and imaginative using only the best seasonal flowers and sustainable practices. Her deep love and respect for nature keep her uncompromising in her commitment to eco-friendly floristry, which she maintains by sourcing sustainably grown blooms and allowing the environment and local terrain to influence her design process. The result is authentic and one-of-a-kind events, rooted in warmth and connection.
“The way that flowers simply exist in nature is a wonder to me. The idea that in spite of being wind blown, sun drenched, bug eaten and abused by the elements, they are perfect just as they are in their natural habitat. With every design, my goal is to present my interpretation of what nature has already perfected. My hope is that people do not just look at my work, but rather they experience it and the feel the same sense of joy that I have while bringing the designs to life.”
We believe arranging florals is an art and that the beauty of nature’s unconventional nuances should inspire the design. Our work blurs the lines between architecture and earth, and refinement and whimsy to inspire and engage you with the surrounding space. Each of our designs are more than just an arrangement. They have layers of beauty and complexity that are meant to be experienced, rather than simply seen.
