Our studio is nestled right in the heart of Petoskey, Michigan.

Here is how to find us:

• Studio Location: We are located off US 131, just minutes from downtown Petoskey.

• Pick-up Info: For our Shoreline Stem and Petal Perfect packages, we offer scheduled pick-ups directly from our studio. We’ll provide you with the exact address and easy parking instructions once your order is confirmed.

• Service Area: While physically we’re here in Petoskey, we regularly deliver and set up weddings throughout the Little Traverse Bay area, including Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Bay Harbor, Boyne, City, Walloon Lake, and Charlevoix.

Fun Fact: The name "Petoskey" comes from the Odawa word Biidassige, meaning "where the light shines through the clouds." We like to think that same Northern Michigan light is what makes our locally grown petals look so magical in your wedding photos.

We’ve designed our process to be as breezy as a summer day on Walloon Lake. Whether you have a 100-page Pinterest board or just a single favorite color, we’re here to help you find the right path.

Step 1: The Inquiry

Click our "Contact Us" button and include the basics: your date, your venue, and which of our four collections caught your eye. Since we are a small family studio, we recommend reaching out 6 to 12 months in advance to ensure your date is open on our harvest calendar.

Step 2: The "Vibe Check"

Once we confirm we’re available, we’ll send over our Initial Style Guide. This is where you can share your inspiration photos and color palette. Don’t worry if you don’t know flower names! Just tell us the feeling you want—like "wild garden," "modern lakeside," or "classic Petoskey elegance."

Step 3: The Custom Proposal

For our couples interested in one of our four curated packages, we’ll schedule a quick phone or Zoom consultation to dive into the details. Afterward, we’ll send you a tailored proposal with a visual mood board and a transparent price breakdown. For a more custom option, we’ll set up a call or visit.

Step 4: Secure Your Date

To officially join our wedding family, we require a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer. Once that’s done, your date is locked in! You can check "flowers" off your list and relax knowing we’ve got it from here.

Step 5: The Final Flourish

About 30–45 days before your wedding, we’ll have a final "Detail Meeting" to confirm your final table counts and delivery timeline. Then, we head to the fields to gather the best of the season just for you.

Here is why our Petoskey studio stands apart:

• We Grow with the Seasons: We can follow a flower catalog; but we also follow the sun. By using flowers grown on our farm, we provide blooms that are harvested at their peak—often just 24 to 48 hours before your wedding.

• The "Un-engineered" Aesthetic: In a variety of our designs, we use heirloom varieties—like delicate Sweet Peas, dancing Cosmos, and pillowy Peonies—that are too fragile for international travel but thrive in our Northern Michigan soil. This gives our work that airy, garden-fresh movement you see in our photos.

• Earth-First Mechanics: We are a floral foam-free studio. That green foam used by many florists is actually a single-use plastic that crumbles into micro-plastics and never biodegrades. We use old-school, sustainable techniques like chicken wire and antique thrifted glass armatures that are better for the flowers and much kinder to our Great Lakes.

• Rooted in Petoskey: When you work with us, your investment stays in the community. We are a local Northern Michigan family farm, supporting the local economy and preserving the beautiful open spaces that make our region a wedding destination in the first place.

The result? Flowers that don't just "look nice"—they tell the story of a specific week in a specific place that you had one of the biggest days of your life. When you look back at your photos, you’ll see the exact colors and textures that were blooming in Petoskey the day you said "I do."

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

At our Petoskey studio, we believe every love story has a different "floral footprint." To accommodate everything from intimate elopements on the bay to grand estate celebrations, we offer a Two-Path Pricing Model: our curated Collections (packages) and our A La Carte Menu.

Path 1: The Curated Collections

These are our "all-in" packages designed to give you the most beauty for your investment. They are perfect for couples who want a cohesive, professionally styled look without the stress of picking every individual stem.

• The Shoreline Stems ($350+): Our DIY bulk bucket option for the creative hands-on couple.

• The Petal Perfect ($750+): The essentials for the wedding party.

• The Little Traverse ($1,500+): Full personal flowers plus ceremony focal points and reception bud vases.

• The Petoskey Heirloom ($3,500+): Our full-service, immersive estate experience with custom installations and on-site styling.

Path 2: A La Carte Pricing

Not every wedding fits into a box! If you love our whimsy aesthetic but only need a few specific pieces—or if you want to add a little something extra to a package—we offer A La Carte ordering. This allows you to build your own floral plan item-by-item.

Typical A La Carte Starting Points:

• Bridal Bouquets: $175 – $250+

• Bridesmaid Bouquets: $85 – $115

• Boutonnieres: $25 – $35

• Wrist or Pin-on Corsages: $45 – $65

• Centerpieces (Medium Garden Style): $125 – $175

• Floral Arches/Installations: Starting at $650

How do I decide?

Choose a Collection if...

• You want a "done-for-you" cohesive design.

• You have a set budget and want to maximize it.

• You want the convenience of a flat starting price.

Choose A La Carte if...

• You only need a few specific items (e.g., just a bouquet).

• You want to mix DIY buckets with professional bouquets.

• You are hosting a small elopement or micro-wedding.

When you work with us, you aren’t just hiring a florist; you are partnering with a family that has called Petoskey home for five generations. Our roots run deep in this soil, and our love for Northern Michigan is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just know the best sunset spots on the bay—we know the local farmers, the rhythm of the seasons, and exactly when the lilacs will catch the breeze.

Our Philosophy: Local, Seasonal, and Soulful

We believe that the most beautiful weddings are the ones that feel like they truly belong here. That’s why we are committed to using local flowers as much as possible. By sourcing from our own backyard, we bring you blooms that are fresher, more fragrant, and more vibrant than anything that’s been sitting in a shipping box.

From My Heart to Yours

I personally believe in the magic of weddings because my own wedding was, quite simply, one of the happiest days of my life. I still remember the way the flowers smelled and the way the light hit the tables. That joy is exactly what I want to recreate for you.

The Experience:

• Rooted & Relaxed: Because we’ve been here for generations, we have a calm, "no-stress" approach to logistics. We know the venues, the weather, and the community.

• Collaborative & Creative: Whether you are choosing the Shoreline Stem DIY buckets or the Petoskey Heirloom experience, we treat your vision with the respect it deserves.

• Pure Joy: Our ultimate goal is to take the floral "to-do" list off your plate so you can focus on the person at the end of the aisle. We want to help make this the happiest day of your life, surrounded by the natural beauty of the place we love most.
