FLORAL DESIGN | halcyonheroine

.:FLORAL DESIGN:.

Inspired, Sustainable, Local, and Energy-focused with a touch of wild & whimsy!

In alignment with my intentions for sharing healing and good-energy practices, my Floral Designs are created using mostly locally-grown farmed and foraged fresh and dried flowers and foliage. Additionally I focus on sourcing vintage, found, thrifted & locally-made vessels and decorative elements, and use materials that produce as minimal-waste impact as possible.

I also encourage couples to gift leftover arrangements to their guests and/or donate them to local hospitals/senior care centers, sharing the beauty of their flowers beyond their celebration!

As with all of my offerings, love is at the forefront of my creations. Please know my work is for every kind of couple – no matter your race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability, & so on.

My Floral Design experience is as versatile as my designs! I casually dappled in floral design academically through a couple of classes at the University of Rhode Island and Floral Art School in Los Angeles. Things really got serious between me and flowers, however, in 2019 when I began using florals and plants almost daily in my work as a Photo Stylist + Set Designer in Los Angeles. Upon my return to New England in 2021, I serendipitously connected with Weatherlow Florals where I became Assistant Floral Design Manager and was given the gift of being mentored by local flower-legend Phoebe Poole. Since then, I have flowered over 30 weddings and events from backyard soirees to Newport Mansions and have grown my skill-set, flower knowledge, and repertoire in ways I'd never imagined! Designing with florals has grown to be one of my favorite artistic practices and making expressive, beautiful, & whimsical things with them is a meditation in creativity for me!

Here's what clients have to say:

"I just wanted to THANK YOU for the absolutely stunning flowers on our wedding day. You completely captured what I was looking for and went beyond my wildest dreams! The bouquet, table and Sofreh flowers looked like works of art thanks to your arrangements. Countless guests said they were the most beautiful wedding flowers they had ever seen, and I agree! I wish I could freeze my bouquet and keep it forever. Thank you again for being so receptive, patient and creative with our vision and feedback. We will not hesitate to recommend your work to friends and family in the future." - Brittany & Cyrus

"You made my vision not only come to life but so much more!!! You are a gift to work with - thank you!" - Julie & Andrew

"We wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for the incredible job you did with the flowers. The color combo was so spot on and the look was exactly as I imagined it. I received so many compliments on the floral arrangements. Everyone thought it was different and fun/whimsical in a way they had not seen before, while also being so classy and fitting for the setting. Lots of specific comments on the Chuppah as well!! I could continue to rave about the flowers but it's also worth noting how great it was working with you. From the moment we met, you were the consummate professional and I was able to really trust you. Given all the different vendors you end up working with on your wedding day, having someone I trusted and felt like they understood my vision was such a pleasure." - Danielle & Michael

"You absolutely KILLED IT!!! I mean speechless. The flowers and decor… STUNNING. Abby and I are so appreciative of your efforts. You really made the wedding beautiful. Thank you, thank you!" - Keri, Mother-of-the-Bride
