CLOUDS PLEASE! You got it, girl. I really have no words for this day, except it exceeded all my expectations in every way! I really cannot stress this enough – the team you hire matters! This day included a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony followed by non-tradition reception, featuring lounge seating with cocktail + round tables […]

I am the luckiest + have the best couples. I am very selective in the amount of weddings Bloom + Stem produces each year. Weddings take lots of time and pumping out the same version of a different wedding is not the Bloom + Stem style. I love getting to know the couples and their […]

Veuve inspired this coastal + classic bridal shower for my sister’s BFF. Fun fact, I too have known Allison since she was 7 years old! To be part of this celebration was so special – to see your childhood friends step into the next chapter of their lives is amazing and makes me so happy!
Free spirit roses, pink garden + spray roses, orange tulips and touches of pink textures completed this fab bridal luncheon. Also – I must say corsages are NOT dead and if I had it my way, they would be part of everyone’s party + everyday look.

I remember this day vividly – sitting in my garage and brainstorming with my friend discussing her upcoming three-year-old’s birthday party. WE LOVE THEMES, can you tell?! The struggle this day was real – her daughter LOVES hippos, ballet, and disco balls but how do we do all of this and make it cute, you know? We kept bouncing potential ideas, when from the dark corner of the garage we heard a voice from a boy we thought had tuned us out. David (my assistant + boyfriend) emerges and says, “Hippo Disco Party. Put pink tutus on hippos.” WOW – ARE YOU KIDDING ME. We inspired him right?

In the courtyard garden of Hotel Emma, we designed one of my favorite events ever – an intimate wedding and dinner party (ft. champagne tower!!). Trailing the end of the summer, we went with peaches, light pinks, creams, featuring my all favorite all-star lineup of dahlias, garden roses, ranunculus, snapdragons, and some fun greenery. Please enjoy one of my favorite events of 2020!
