As soon as I saw Jo’s floral photos online, I knew she was the florist I needed. Her floral arrangements are unlike those I’ve seen anywhere else, as she doesn’t bunch the flowers super tight and let’s each flower have a moment of its own. I to...
ld Jo what colors I wanted, and where I needed flowers, and did not see what they would look like until the day of my wedding. Normally this would have given my anxiety but her portfolio has proven that she can do ANYTHING. And boy.. I was NOT disappointed. Her florals on our gazebo and booth bus were highlights throughout the evening. People were mesmerized. My bouquet was out of a dream. I couldn’t find a problem even if I wanted to. Her professionalism and dedication is evident in her work and reviews. If you can get Jo to do your flowers- you won’t be disappointed and your wedding photos will be breathtaking

changing and back and forth ideas, and came up with something absolutely stunning. We received so many compliments on our florals and a few guests inquired as they may want to hire her for their big day when it comes too. She demonstrated she is an artist through and through and helped us to understand the challenges that florists have and the reality of floral costs. If you are looking for a floral artist, Jo and her team will deliver!

Jo Birns
Owner
Jo has always felt a deep kinship with nature, a sense that anything worth creating is rooted in truth and heart and the mystery and complexity of the natural world. She found flowers in the search for balance in a bustling career as an Acupuncturist. The quiet, creativity and contemplation she found in growing and making art with flowers encouraged her to dive in and discover that making flowers for weddings was her favorite! She is endlessly inspired by the turning of the seasons and the new flowers that appear throughout the year. Her work spills over with lush, incredibly scented flowers
