Not Every Gathering Needs to Become a Capital-E Event

If it matters enough to celebrate, celebrate it like it matters.

Weddings don’t have a monopoly on beautiful flowers. It all matters: turning 50, graduating, a new baby, twenty years of marriage, getting divorced. I believe getting everyone you love around a table is a worthy occasion on its own.

These are the moments that make up a life, and you’re allowed to make a fuss about them. I take the occasion you already care about and give the space around it the same attention. The entire room will feel considered, with objects and details that truly belong there.

Intentional Floral and Event Design for Gatherings, Parties, and Milestones

For any event like birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, graduations, engagement parties, dinner parties, retirements, or just celebrating anything with everyone you love around a table because you want to.

This could look like:

  • Floral design with centerpieces and arrangements

  • Tablescape styling, including flowers, vessels, candles, objects, and other tabletop details

  • More involved flower pieces that give the gathering a focal point

  • Sourcing and rentals to bring the idea together

  • Getting everything set up where it belongs and handling teardown afterward, as needed

Every gathering is custom scoped and quoted based on your specific needs.

What Working
Together Looks Like

I’ll shape the process around what you’re celebrating and what the gathering calls for.

01 / Inquire

Reach out and tell me about the occasion, the date, and the space.

02 / Talk it through

We’ll talk about what you’re imagining and how you want the gathering to feel.

03 / Review your proposal

I’ll take what we discuss and put together a custom proposal based on the scope of your gathering and what we’re creating together.

04 / Make it official

Once you’re ready to move forward, sign the contract and pay the deposit to reserve your date, and I’ll start bringing the visual direction together.

05 / Finalize the details

As the date gets closer, we’ll finalize the details I need to make everything happen. We’ll talk sourcing, rentals, and other design elements as needed.

06 / Celebrate!

I’ll bring the pieces together, including setup and strike as needed. When the day arrives, you can enjoy the celebration.

My philosophy

Gathering Around a Table Is Sacred

I believe there’s something important about getting people in the same room. It’s special to sit around a table, linger longer than you meant to, and pull out pieces you save for occasions exactly like this.

While everyone is catching up, I’m thinking about the room around them, like whether the flowers are doing enough or if the candle should be moved six inches to the left.

I care about those decisions because they change how the gathering feels. Most people may never notice any one choice, but they’re not supposed to. They’ll experience the room as a whole, and I’ll have cared probably more than is reasonable about making sure it all feels right.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, graduations, engagement parties, retirements, dinner parties, divorce parties, and literally anything else. If you’re getting people together because an occasion feels worth celebrating, I want to hear all about it.

  • Absolutely not. This can be as intimate as centerpieces and tablescape styling for a dinner at home or as involved as the floral and visual design of a larger celebration.

  • That’s a good place to start. Just tell me about the occasion and the references you do have. I do my best work figuring out how those pieces come together into a room.

  • Every gathering is custom quoted based on scope. A dinner at home with flowers and tablescape styling is different from a full floral and visual design of a large party, so there isn’t one standard investment. 

  • As early as you can. Larger gatherings, custom pieces, rentals, and anything that requires more involved sourcing will need more lead time. But if you’re planning something last-minute, reach out anyway. If I can make it happen, I will.

  • Yes. I’m based in Lafayette, Colorado, and happy to travel for the right gathering. Tell me where you’re celebrating when you inquire, and we’ll figure out what it takes to get me there.
