WILD-NATURED FLORAL ARTISTRY
DESIGN FLORAL EXPRESSIONS FOR YOUR BIG DAY
I’ve spent my life seeking to interpret the fleeting beauty and bounty of the world around us. I grew up in the Midwest with a curious and adventurous heart, endlessly digging in the dirt, gardening and hunting/camping with my father. After studying fine art and beginning my career as an artist, I soon realized my life’s passion was to cultivate the ways in which art and nature nourish and uplift the human body and spirit.
Sweet Thorn Flora designs floral expressions for the moments we long to hold on to, feelings we wish to linger on our minds and in our hearts. Our creations unite varied textures, colors and shapes that interplay deep and bright, soft and sharp to create a lasting impression.

Quotes:
“I want to give them something that is going to be memorable.”
“I cannot guarantee that I can get that exact flower if it’s out of season because I don’t use anything that isn’t at its peak.”
“As a designer in general, you want everything to be as cohesive and complimentary as possible so if they ask me for suggestions on a napkin color, I will give it.”
“Don’t be scared to have the flowers you want. People say that the flowers don’t last but they really do. They last in your head. They last in the feeling they give people. They last for your guests. They last in the video and in the photographs. They last for a long time.”
“Flowers extract emotion from people. You can just look at them and feel happier.”
“What’s nice about florals is that there are so many ways to make a statement minimally. You don’t have to have over the top flowers to make a statement.”
“The longer that I have with the client and the longer that they have with me the more satisfied and set they will be for the event.”
“When a client puts down the booking deposit, that books them for that day. It’s their day & they are my only client.”
“When you have flowers around your house, whether dried or alive, they are beneficial for you to see and be around.”
“Whatever part of the event is the most important to you, start there and put your money there & then allocate the rest of it.”
