Hi! I’m Carly.
The love of artistic expression has been a thread in my life long before I considered it as a career. From filling notebooks with complex sketches at 5 years old to weekly piano and voice lessons growing up, to leading musical teams at conferences and choreographing and producing my own lyrical dance video, I truly live to create. I won’t stop at “just good enough” — I will take as much time and effort as needed to turning one of your most precious mementos into something worth gazing upon for a life time. Ea
Where It Started….
It all started living in Holland, Michigan when my wedding venue job and artsy coffee shop collided. At the end of every event, I would watch buckets of flowers worth hundreds–even thousands!– of dollars being poured right into the trash. One night, I decided to save a single bouquet from its dreadful fate. The only problem was… the beautiful arrangement lasted only a few days, if I were fortunate.
“Here’s a bag of silica gel,” the owner of Respite Cappuccino Court said. “I never got around to opening it, but you can use it to preserve those wedding flowers.”
And so it began. There started a year of experimenting with various ways to make beauty last a lifetime– and now, I’d like to share that experience with you. Whether it’s working with you closely to create exactly what you want or taking it completely off your hands and mind so you can relax post-wedding, I got you.
xoxo,
Carly
