If you’re a bride planning a summer wedding in Sonoma County and you’re torn between playing it safe with a traditional white and green palette or going bold with color — this real wedding might be all the inspiration you need.

I never planned to become a florist. I spent 22 years in insurance before flowers unexpectedly became the thing that pulled me out of postpartum depression and gave me purpose. This is the story of how floral design found me—and how I turned it into a business that brings me joy every single day.

Planning your dream wedding often starts with a beautifully curated Pinterest board, color palettes, and must-have floral installations. But what happens when Mother Nature decides not to cooperate? As a wedding florist in Sonoma County, I’ve learned one essential truth: always have a plan B.

If you’re a bride or a planner working with multiple florists, you’ve probably seen this before: you send out the same design deck, the same specs, the same floral wish list… and get back three very different quotes.

It’s natural to wonder why. After all, if everyone’s quoting for the same 10 centerpieces and two altarpieces, shouldn’t the prices be pretty close?

This morning, I received a message from Mayesh—one of the largest flower wholesalers in the country and a trusted source I rely on for many of my weddings. Due to new tariffs on imported flowers, pricing is expected to increase starting April 5th.

When planning your wedding or special event, flowers are just one piece of the overall aesthetic.

When planning your dream wedding, every detail matters—from the venue and décor to the flowers and photography.
