Can I provide my own vases for you to use?
We prefer to use our own vases for the following reasons:
- We know exactly what it takes to fill them, and it streamlines the planning process.
- Unless otherwise specified, all glassware is yours to keep. This means your guests can take home arrangements at the end of the night.
- Extra vases are kept on hand so that in the event that something breaks, we can easily replace it.
- It’s one less thing to coordinate during the busy days before your wedding.

Do you provide wedding services during winter?
We primarily use flowers that we grow, and typically have flowers available in abundance from the end of February to the middle of November. Because we don’t grow in heated, lighted greenhouses, availability is limited in the winter. It’s just not sustainable, and it’s not the way we farm. If it’s not feasible for us to provide flowers out of season, we will happily refer you to a florist that can better serve you.
Where is your studio located?
We moved out of our SLO location in 2021 when Courtney bought her farm in Arroyo Grande. We now do all our design work in a barn there. We are not currently offering tours, or open to the public.
Where is your farm located?
We are just east of the town of Arroyo Grande, and are also farming on leased land closer to Oceano.
May I come visit the farm?
You can stay tuned about events by following along on social media or by joining our newsletter.
