If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, floral designs that tell the story of you, then go ahead and leave me a line! You already know my favorite coffee order, but I can’t wait to sit down with you and learn yours.

Call it what you may, but being a 3w2 (any enneagram lovers out there?) not only gives me a drive to pursue excellence, but a passion to serve. To put it simply, I’m a lady who wears many hats and I don’t just mean my favorite Gigi Pip one! However, my favorite hat to wear is the one I lovingly refer to as “your friend with flowers.” 

I’ll take inspiration from your color palette and dream aesthetic and turn it into an exquisite floral design that tells the unique story of you! I’ll take inspiration from your color palette and dream aesthetic and turn it into an exquisite floral design that tells the unique story of you!

     all it what you may, but being a 3w2 (any enneagram lovers out there?) not only gives me a drive to pursue excellence, but a passion to serve. To put it simply, I’m a lady who wears many hats and I don’t just mean my favorite Gigi Pip one! However, my favorite hat to wear is the one I lovingly refer to as “your friend with flowers.” 

If you can’t find me, it’s probably because I’m stuck in a Starbucks drive-thru ordering my ever classic hot americano with white mocha sauce and cream (don’t forget the warmed up pumpkin bread) or under an embarrassingly large pile of eucalyptus branches adding the last touches to a bride’s bouquet. Under that pile of eucalyptus, you’ll find a white face and the cutest black nose that belongs to my assistant, Emmie, my 5 pound malti-poo. 

Can I let you in on a secret? I never thought I’d be a florist... yet at the same time, it has never made more sense. You see, in the Mantarian household, weekends (and let’s be real, weekdays too) revolve around weddings. My husband, Joe (check him out here!), is a photographer and videographer, and I am certified in wedding planning. We’ve spent a fair share of our days tag teaming weddings with camera and clipboard in hand. It took me a while, but I finally realized I was desperately missing the element of design. *Cue the flowers. Cue Emmie chewing on a rose stem - she really thinks they’re chew toys!*

So, I took a leap of faith. I got my hands dirty (quite literally!) chasing my daydream, and eventually, the daydream became reality. I’m still pinching myself as I type this because I get to work with some of the most amazing brides-turned-friends, partnering with them and watching their dream wedding become a reality, too. Eucalyptus piles and all.
