-Lewis Caroll

"Do you suppose she's a wildflower?"

As a young child, like many children, I picked dandelion and other "weed" bouquets for my mom. Making wishes and blowing the dandelion seeds was also a favorite pastime. I drew flowers all over everything, and since I was a kid with little talent in drawing, I became quite proud of my flowers.
I first happened on the beauty of the language of flowers in elementary school, though I didn't realize it at the time. I encountered it again in high school and I filed it away as interesting information, but as I got older, I became more and more enthralled with this romantic form of communication. When I fully delved into the language of flowers and all the beauty it conveys, I knew I had to become fluent in floriography and share it with the world.

it all started with a dandelion...

I've been working with flowers since 2012. I took a quick class at the Floral Design Institute in Portland, and I fell in love. I spent the next several years traveling with my husband, Scott and living in several places across the country. i learned much of what i know from one of the DC Metro area's best floral designers.
When we moved back to Oregon to start our family, I knew I wanted to own my own floral company and work with flowers for people's most special events. I went back to the Floral Design Institute and in March 2019, I became a Certified Wedding Floral Specialist!

Certifications & Floral Background

My progenitors came to America from Scandinavia and my maiden name is Westerberg, which means "west of the mountain" in Swedish. Although I live east of the Cascades, my design style is heavily influenced by the Nordic countries.

"Blomstra" means "flourish" or "bloom" in Swedish. To me, this translation not only refers to flowers, but to people as well. I believe we as humans flourish and bloom when we love and are loved in return.
