Michigan speciality wedding florist.

Just as quickly as our idea to start a "flower project" began, we knew it was time for our retail shop to close.

Months before we announced anything, we told our landlords that if someone wanted to take over our lease, we'd love the chance to get out early. 

We knew this just wasn't sustainable anymore.

But we still needed to book events to pay the rent, so we didn't tell anyone. 

We just kept going.

Then in March, we knew we were done.
We needed an exit plan. 
For our families. 
And for us.

We did a huge event and we were so grateful because it paid our rent that month. 

But on the drive home, we looked at each other and said, "We hated flowers. We never wanted to see another box of them again."

Saying that out loud broke our hearts.

That wasn't how we wanted to feel.

We never wanted to resent something we loved or lose the joy that made us start this in the first place.

The burnout had caught up with us.

Yes, it was winter and we'll never love imported flowers as much as locally grown ones, but it was so much deeper than that.

Then they found someone to take over our lease.

We announced that we were "moving."

And we were.

Back home.

To a place where we could figure out what comes next and breathe a little easier.

Just like that, our storefront chapter has come to an end.

We're so grateful that @liketheplanetphotography captured every stage of this journey, including these final photos on our beloved floral couch.

What's next?

A summer full of weddings.
More time with our families.
Mornings in our gardens.
Reading books and laughing on the porch.
Just being friends again.

Not balancing work and family. 

Not choosing between celebrating with our families and paying the bills.

But you all showed up.

We'll never be able to express how grateful we are.

Because of you, we were able to pay off the debt we took on to open and keep the shop running. 

We're one step closer to paying off the final costs of terminating our lease.

The shop was never the most important thing.

Our friendship always was.

Next spring, we're taking a girls trip to celebrate us (and yes, some weddings).

And finally...some rest! 07/07/2026

Happy Father’s Day to our guys!!

They are the best of the best.

Not only do they show up when we need heavy things moved…

They have supported us through so mant tears, weekends away, late nights making sure our homes are held together, and cheered us on every step of the way.

They are the rocks of our families.

They are the glue that’s holds us together.

They remind us to find joy and have fun in the midst of it.

They are funny and kind and thoughtful.

And they are the reason we met.

Cheers to these two!

Let’s go to a concert again soon.
