Florist’s inspiration: To highlight softness & strengthen of motherhood I chose soft spring white & cream blooms with dried materials framing the piece to show the juxtaposition between the joy and hardships of motherhood

She’s a proud supporter of America’s flower farmers and sources the blooms and foliage she uses in designs from throughout the United States 365 days a year.
