How it started

once upon a quarantine

The story begins in Colorado before relocating to Southern California, leaving the corporate desk behind with a business degree and background in marketing and sales. It was quickly discovered that planting roots in the Golden State can be challenging. I worked gigs until I was unemployed due to COVID. I discovered this new hobby "once upon a quarantine", dedicating the entire time and relief checks to self-learning, experimenting, and perfecting the technique. With little certainty of the economic future, it was a risk.  When this passion began, there were hardly molds available, (there were no trending TikTok, or tutorials on this floral science). I took notes, crafted my own molds, and created beautiful choas on the spare bedroom of our home. Against the odds, I took a leap of faith the business would bloom, often working long hours with the intent of introducing this concept to the Greater Western USA. 


How It's Going...

Within a year, I was immersed into the historic wedding boom- an unanticipated and unprecedented moment in time. It is with honor and astonishment the company was quickly recognized, voted "Best Bridal Product and Service, Statewide " 2022, & 2023 by California Wedding Day Magazine and industry professionals, an accomplishment far beyond my dreams. 

 With the further introduction of items for the wedding, such as table numbers, champagne flutes, and placeholders, the studio has gained much attention as featured, published and praised by "Inspired by this," "The Aisle Society", "Southern California Bride", "Carats and Cake", "San Diego Style Weddings", "California Wedding Day", "Charlotte Bride Guide", "Loverly", "Style Me Pretty," Wedsociety" and more. 

Blooming


Although quarantine was a blessing for the foundation of Ever After Bouquet, as one of the many new entrepreneurs who found their creative niche during this time, I would like to recognize and honor those who were less fortunate or lost a loved one during the pandemic. We are currently working on  special projects in loving memory of those lost.

What it's really about

What's in a flower? The way iris blooms around my birthday, that birds of paradise are my grandmother's favorite, or that my mother has grown lilac in our backyard since I can remember. Flowers are my medium, but memories are what I preserve. I have always been my grandmother's "little rosebud." Feeling this business helped me "bloom," I preserved a David Austin Evelyn rose for her as a token for her sister Evelyn who passed long ago, pulling her heartstrings. At that moment, I knew I had found my passion- to create something sentimental, something beautiful that may be cherished forever and passed down for generations. If you have a special request beyond weddings, please don't hesitate to contact us. I can't wait to hear your floral story!
