Belvedere: /ˈbelvəˌdir/ noun; a structure (often on a rooftop or high level) designed to command a fine view.
As a former friend-duo turned one lady team, I often work through copious amounts of coffee, good podcast playing, and always through a great fondness for flowers. While wearing the hat of teacher by day and florist by night and weekends, it still feels like a dream to take on this project alone and work and design for clients. My love for florals seems to continuously grow as I find flowers represent more and more of life each day. Their blooming and wilting reminds me of human impermanence and the importance of savoring each moment of growth. A flower’s short season reminds me how to live my own.
Whether a baby shower, wedding, or memorial I hope to design and help create belvederes: spaces evocative of beauty to give you perspective on what matters most in life. We know that any event or occasion signifies a celebration of life and we are so honored and humbled to be a small part of that!
