It was an early June afternoon, and I was in the garden harvesting the first herbs of the season, gathering stems of ‘Segurelha’ {‘Winter Savory’}. When I finished and looked at my hand, one by one these herbal stems organically took the shape of a beautiful bouquet. An idea was sparked in my mind. I…

When Cosmos and Daisies become the focal point of a design…In fact, these darling wildflower blooms were the sole inspiration for this communion celebration’s entire vision.

O U B A I T O R I (n.) the idea that people, like flowers, bloom in their own time and take their own individual journeys; the acceptance of not comparing oneself to others and focusing on one’s own uniqueness… As Spring nears its end, so too do its pastel hues that now make…
