//// In the dream, I am counting // meadows, one trillion glyphs in grasses tossed // by wind like vowels, lost alphabet, the dream // sounding out its own name, and I // trip on a river made of broken light, the bright // chronicles of color, and all // their endless poetries... //// .

Magic is our second language. Thank you @marthastewart for featuring this pretty, pretty project with the amazing @butfirstparty, @daydream.society, and @billyedonyaphotography that was such fun to help bring to life! #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #poetryofflowers #
//// The ritual is in the garden, with my hands // I am becoming, I am of this // tiny garden, its customs, its culture, speak // into being between // my fingers, each piece a flag // or brocade of another world, embroidered // with ephemera, each releases // its accent, I am listening, and the ritual, my // hands a kind of bird lighting // and lifting, lighting and lifting, trying to find footing, the right // alphabet for this new word, or that... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers Photograph: @pineandsea_photo 💛
I just want to throw some serious vendor love and appreciation right now to Aubrey @detailsdarling and Tracy @pineandsea_photo, who are behind the gorgeous event design and brilliant photography captured at Audrey + Max’s beautiful wedding day this May in Palm Springs. I want to celebrate those two lady bosses in particular as teammates on this wedding because each of them is just so dang talented AND such a joy to work with and know. What a dream team! If you don’t already follow them, do. 💓 . I can’t wait to share more from this one, but for now please just feel some big appreciative vibes with me, and maybe send some to a vendor friend of yours today too to spread the love. . This is a big, beautiful, collaborative industry of creatives, full of so many hard working kind souls, and it feels so good to shine that appreciation and acknowledgment around to all who come together to help create the scenes where love’s magic is celebrated and remembered 💓💓💓. .

//// The height of summer shouldered, a sun // broken into firework, bright shards of river, laughing //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom . . Photograph by the amazing, sunshiny @pineandsea_photo 💛🙌🎉 of my demo bouquet from a recent 1:1 bouquets class for the lovely @vhsmith with a palette inspired by her fond memories of a childhood of magic Del Mar sunsets. . Have a beautiful Wednesday, lovers!
I am elated to be headed to Norway for our workshop with @carefullycollected, hosted by talented angels @elinejacobine and @ninaogjoachim, in just a few days! Thank you all for your love and support as #nectarandbloomclasses go international this summer. . Ever since I decided to leave the university and my former academic career as a professor of English and literature, I knew somewhere inside me that the thrill I feel in designing creative courses and delivering empowering experiences for my students would continue, no matter what my medium. I am ever amazed and enormously grateful for how dreams take shape, often better than we could ever imagine, the sweat, tears, lessons, and thrills of it all! . I am writing my life story now in flowers, and I am so excited to empower you in your exploration of this blooming language too. .

Abundance can also mean plentiful space, time, opportunity to expand. To recharge, regroup, reassess, reflect — all of these ask for abundance in a way you can feel, more than see, sense at work, more than know necessarily when to seek. . Keep in mind that practicing abundance as a mindset, and pursuing it as a lifestyle, also means seeking plenty of space to feel vast, not rushed, free of constraints, and bountiful in options. (Easy to forget, but also easy to remember and try for again!) . I’m working on celebrating abundance when it’s intangible as much as tangible, the kind that is unquantifiable (sense of peace, opportunity to become curious in a new way, etc.) as much as the kind that can be quantified. I invite you to do the same — and I celebrate you if you’re thriving in it already. 💞 .

In dreams, we are filled again with what’s possible. In the light we find another chance to make dreams manifest. //// From a recent 1:1 class on foam-free full-scale floral installations for Amy with the loveliest crew: .
