At Heart

The Heart Behind Honey Bunch

Words From Our Owner

Professionally speaking, the beauty of life is at the core of my artistic expression, and love flows through all I do. As a creative spirit, romantic vocalist, and empathic actor, I was drawn to the glamour and refinement of classic Hollywood; and as the daughter of caterer, party planning and designing decor flowed through me as a second nature. As I evolved, I awakened my connection with nature and its beautiful and regenerative qualities. With performing, visual arts, and a deep admiration of the infinite beauty of nature, I’ve always known that the ambience of your surroundings, not only creates a stunning picture, but it allows for you to feel engaged and moved by its energy. Flowers are nature’s most beautiful gift. If there is one truth my life of creativity has taught me, it’s that the center of all art is love. It is my hope that the beauty of your day captures the essence of your romance.

From personal perspective... Okay! Now, here's the skinny...! Love means more to me than I can possible say. The expression of love was something from which I spent most of my life retreating. After nearly a decade of dedicated self work, I have become an unleashed soul devoted to healing, self love, and expression of my innate romantic nature. Singing, poetry, storytelling, acting, directing, and visual art all layer texture into this beautiful moment we are weaving for your wedding day. I like to think of all the history as the spices of a fine dessert. With this spice and through creating the world of your wedding, I hope to help you step into the creative expression of your love known as your wedding day. We must create the world we wish to live in. For me, it's an eternal butterfly garden.

Environmental Accountability

We are on an evolving journey of environmental accountability within our practices. Giving back to mother nature and prioritizing workers rights are an active and thoughtful part of our work.

Early on in our company's growth started doing research on the negative aspects of floral foam. It was then we parted ways with this product. Floral foam is a man made material that allows for flowers to be hydrated in or outside of a vase and placed at any angle - it provides hydration and structure. Even eco-friendly version are not so friendly. We are proudly 100% foam free and utilize biodegradable and recyclable materials. Foam free requires more creativity and effort, but it is well worth it and accomplishes beautiful and natural designs!

Budget Planning

It's pretty simple with us. We want to give you the wedding of your dreams. We also understand that investing in event floral design is new for most couples. For that reason, we have three types packages. Beyond that, we breakdown your budget so that you understand where and how your funds are being applied to your design. Lastly, we work hard to create a floral design that accomplishes your vision, help you to understand what that looks in a budgetary sense, and shape your design and budget as working partners to this enchanted experience.

Giving Back

Through your generosity, we have the opportunity to donate. The happiness this brings to the residents and facilities who receive your flowers is beyond measure. We are always hearing feedback of appreciation and gratitude for these happy deliveries!
