Come by the studio, by appointment.

The studio is at the end of a short gravel drive, behind a white fence. If you see a large camellia bush and a blue door, you are in the right place. Knock, or call out — the door is often open when the weather is warm.

What to expect

A first visit usually takes about forty-five minutes. We will sit at the table, look at the space you have in mind, and talk through the season, the palette, and the practical parts: dates, delivery, setup, and budget. If you are planning a wedding, bring photos of the venue and any flowers you have saved. They do not need to be perfect references. A color, a fabric, or a picture of the room is enough to start.

If you are coming for weekly flowers, a photo of the room and its light is more useful than a long description. We can also walk out to the garden and cut a few things together, so you can see how the arrangements might feel in the space.

Questions people ask

How far ahead should we book?

For weddings, four to eight months is comfortable if you want a specific date. Workshops usually fill two to three weeks ahead, and weekly flowers need about two weeks to set up a route. If you are planning something smaller, or the date is already close, write anyway. We will tell you honestly what is possible.

Do you deliver?

Yes, by hand, throughout Sonoma County. Delivery and setup are included in the quote for weddings and weekly flowers. We do not ship flowers. Everything is loaded into the van the same day it is arranged, usually by the same person who made it.

Can we bring children?

Of course. Let us know in advance so we can put away the sharp tools and keep buckets out of reach. The garden is a good place for them to wait while we talk. There is a small step at the entrance, and we can meet you at the car if that helps.

What happens if it rains?

We plan for weather from the start. For outdoor ceremonies, we ask what the backup space is and how we can move or reuse the flowers there. A little rain is usually manageable; wind is the harder problem. We will make the call with you a day or two before, not on the morning of.

Accessibility

The studio has a small step at the entrance and a gravel path. If either is difficult, tell us in advance and we will meet you at the car or move the conversation to a table outside. The worktable is at standing height, but there are chairs and a lower table for anyone who needs to sit. We are happy to adjust.

Before you come

Please do not bring cut flowers from another garden without checking first. We keep the studio clean between projects and try not to mix stems from different places. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the garden, but not in the workroom. If you are bringing a child, let us know so we can put away the sharp tools and keep the buckets out of reach.

We do not keep regular walk-in hours, and the gate is not always open. A quick email before you drive out will save you a trip. We look forward to meeting you.
