This weekend, we sourced flowers and designed floral arrangements for a dear friend who lost a beloved grandmother. Inspired by her love of cardinals, the grass and branch styling mirror wings 🪽 in the vase arrangement.

I like to tell a story through the flowers. The vase is about being brought out of the darkness of suffering and ascending to the light of heaven’s loving embrace. The spray arrangement echoes a grandmother’s love and those who loved her. It’s the welcome of outstretched arms and the peace found in an embrace.

It’s moments like these that reminds all of us to call our loved ones and tell them what they mean to us. Life is so short - why turn love into hate, based on disagreements or misunderstandings? Everyone is going through so much that they don’t share with others. I hope everyone who is suffering finds peace.

“Love one another, as I have loved you.” Isn’t that the directive?

Wishing you all peace and healing ❤️‍🩹🙏 We are all in this human family - we can work as one when we keep love in our hearts.

This is just a small sample of some of the event florals we’ve created over the years.

🥰 A particular highlight for us was making the centerpieces for a local animal rescue’s annual gala - it was so fun making the carnation puppy and playing with the vase fillers. (We have rescued 3 dogs ourselves - one of whom has recently passed away. 🌈 It’s especially fulfilling to fill orders for fun events like that.)

Others showcased in this series are arrangements for bridal showers, baby showers, birthday celebrations, company meetings/luncheons.

🎆🎇 We love to match an arrangement to your colors or themes - or ask for “florist’s choice” for something unique and spectacular.

We have a number of wedding floral packages, but also offer a-la-carte pricing with pickup. We’re transparent and up-front with our brides and grooms. Because the last thing you need when wedding planning is more guesswork or surprises. 💍

There’s something I keep coming back to as a florist: the best arrangements aren’t just pretty — they’re intentional. They have a purpose. A mission to fulfill.

And the longer we work with flowers, the more I believe that finding new ways - new inspiration - helps those flowers accomplish their purpose. We become better at doing that.

…And that studying the floral craft never really stops. These two just landed into my personal library, and they couldn’t be more different from each other, which is exactly why I grabbed both.

The Flower School by Joseph Massie — a five-time Gold Medallist at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show — gets into the principles that underpin every design decision: color theory, the golden ratio, conditioning and care, and why the structure of an arrangement matters as much as the blooms themselves. It’s the kind of thinking that happens before a single stem hits water.

Then there’s Flowering by Elizabeth Jaime of Calma Floral, which is almost a counterpoint — Miami-born, visually wild, completely unapologetic about mixing rhinestones with dried blooms, or troll grass with tropical foliage. Her whole approach is that floral design should feel joyful and a little irreverent. Honestly? That energy is contagious. We couldn’t agree more.

I’ll be honest — Pinterest is still great for inspiration overall, but has been less useful than it used to be. The AI-generated floral content flooding it looks stunning until you realize it’s physically impossible. Books like these are grounded in real arrangements made by real hands, and that reference matters.

Both of these are going to influence what we’re building at Fifth Petal — especially our upcoming workshops. More on that soon. 🌸

50 feet of blooms? No problem - Ba bam!🎤🫳

This is one of our favorite snaps from the farm-to-table dinner we arranged for.

These are florals we created to fit a phenomenal farm-to-table dinner event at @thedolemansion in Crystal Lake.

These event florals were inspired by one of the latest trends in floral design this year: grasses. (Though technically, the bear “grass” actually comes from a plant in the lily family - not to be confused with “lily grass,” which is another plant. 🙃)

This year’s Zone 5B growing season has been a bit cool, and so started slower than usual. Normally, we prefer to source as much as we can from our favorite local flower farmers, but the material for the arrangements shown here is from our own farm, the Midwest, as well as from the US. We do try to avoid the global supply chains as much as we can, favoring the lower carbon footprint.

The 3 larger arrangements are also #floralfoamfree and leverage compostable packets called Oshun Pouches. They are filled with coco coir and other nutrients that sustain the flower health. @oshunpouch

This style centerpiece takes a massive step forward in #lowplasticfloraldesign

“It’s a boy” doesn’t have to mean powder blue. 🩵 ➡️💙

This custom baby shower collection — gerbera daisy, ranunculus, hydrangea, mums, dusty miller, and green hypericum berries — generated unique florals with a lot more interest than a typical grocery option.

I also added touch of periwinkle blue with some of the mums…to elevate it and add depth to the color palette.

Expecting? Hosting? Celebrating?
DM me — I’d love to create something custom for you.
