Local Color Flowers

The flower world is so big… and somehow also so beautifully small. 🌸

Shout out to Mermaid City Flowers for introducing me to Christin Geall, author of the book Cultivated and her beautiful new book Floral Culture.

Our FlowerMore book club had already read Cultivated together in 2025 and absolutely loved it. Honestly, if you haven’t read it yet, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s one of those rare flower books that feels inspiring, thoughtful, and genuinely useful.

We had just started reading Floral Culture when Christin said yes to joining us for a live discussion with the FlowerMore community.

I still can’t quite believe it.
Tomorrow, May 26 at 7pm EST we get to welcome Christin to FlowerMore.

I’m feeling so much gratitude and excitement for this community we’re building together. FlowerMore continues to become the kind of space I dreamed about — thoughtful, generous, creative, and deeply connected through flowers.

This is a FlowerMore members-only event, and there’s still time to join us. Here is a discount link to join our community and this conversation! https://tinyurl.com/FlowerMore30

Feeling very grateful today.

I worked hard on these arrangements. I didn't feel confident I could pull of the color palette the couple wanted. I did my best...when the bride texted to say the flowers were perfect- I almost cried. See the behind the scenes video of how they came together. https://youtu.be/AA3Rj3gWEaQ?si=eU-WsPLgZNrM_Mu6

Sometimes, I still struggle with color palettes- 20 years into floral design! See how an unexpected color palette nearly wrecked me- but the flowers always know what works!

The Kentucky Derby may be over but apparently I’m not done with julep cups yet 😂✨
I found this copper one and immediately needed to put flowers in it because honestly… copper just makes everything look extra pretty and expensive.
In this video I’m sharing how I build an arrangement in a julep cup so it feels loose, airy, and natural instead of stiff and crammed in there 🙃
