Michaela Gosar’s lifelong passion for flowers and floral design turned in 2014 into a home-based flower business with the aim to specialize in custom made flower arrangements inspired by gardens and wildflower meadows.
Born and raised in Prague, with most of her professional career as a policy officer at the European Commission in Brussels, Michaela settled with her American husband in Alexandria, VA where she made her dream come true - to open her own home-based floral design studio. While being a dedicated mom of two middle schoolers she is running her floral studio by herself, since December 2023 from her new location in Vienna/Oakton, and is making a difference in people’s lives through her unique floral creations.
Michaela makes fresh flower arrangements for any occasion you celebrate or commemorate, creates beautiful flowers for couples on their engagement and wedding days, she helps decorate local homes or offices for holidays, and contributes to make your special life events extra memorable. She enjoys playing with color palettes and various floral textures, and likes working with seasonal and locally grown flowers.
Andie Ingagliato started her career as a fine art portrait photographer in 2008. Her passion for gorgeous imagery started with studies in classical music and theater which led to her receiving her BFA in photography and film from one of the top art programs in the nation: Virginia Commonwealth University.
Her wedding and portraiture work has been featured in Style Me Pretty, Washingtonian Weddings, The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings and acknowledged by fashion designers, including Draper James.
Her characteristic style combines romance and editorial perspective with authenticity. She is uniquely gifted with bringing a sense of finesse into everything she touches while making it seem completely effortless. After 15 years of capturing weddings and families during the most precious times of their lives, she can truly say that this is exactly where she is meant to be.
When she isn't photographing weddings, Andie enjoys the outdoors alongside her husband, Tony and daughter, Ava.
