design philosophy

Since our first season of growing our own flowers, we have become endlessly inspired by the garden. Our designs embody the beauty we nurture inside our garden gate—with each arrangement and bouquet’s ingredients unique to that moment in time.

Our flower design philosophy is one that celebrates 100% American grown. We always start sourcing with local flower farmers in Southeast Missouri. From there we look to our farms in the Saint Louis area. Lastly, we order from trusted farms across the country to supplement our designs for larger events.

One of my favorite things is adding our own garden. We are perpetually expanding our perennial collection. We start seeds every winter to grow blooms especially for our wedding work. Every spring our en masse tulips supply us with weeks of incredible color.

sustainability efforts

We buy locally grown flowers as much as possible, reducing the excessive nature of wasteful single-use plastic packaging.

We support local artisans for handmade goods—such as pottery, ribbon, and paper—and shop secondhand first when sourcing vessels. 

We say no to flower foam and instead work with reusable mechanics like flower frogs, chicken wire and disguised water sources such as water tubes.

We embrace natural beauty and do not support altering plant material with bleach, dye or spray paint.

We compost our flower scraps on our property instead of sending them to a landfill.
