I'm a sucker for a love party!
It’s a big fucking deal. Seeing my couples gather their most beloved folks together for the celebration of love is magical.
In this really tough world we need to have more beauty,
kindness, and joy.

“Working with Miriam as the floral artist for our wedding was one of the most fun and fulfilling parts of the entire process! For some background - I, one of the marriers, am high key obsessed with flowers. I had a very particular vision in mind, and knew I wanted to be super involved with florals. Miriam was the perfect match. It was a dreamy, collaborative experience from the beginning. Early on, I ogled at her collection of vintage glass vessels over Zoom. Some of those unique amber compotes ended up lining the tables at our wedding, while others were thoughtfully sourced by Miriam just for our event. Instead of simply talking through color palettes and dream vibes, Miriam invited me to Manhattan's flower district. She walked me through shop after shop, patiently and enthusiastically encouraging me to point out all the likes and dislikes. We created a connection based on mutual trust, and the payoff was truly incredible. Miriam's execution of our vision completely exceeded our expectations. While the photos say more than we ever could, there are a couple things that deserve a special shout out. What you can't see is that not only were her designs stunning, they were also sustainably created. Miriam selected local, seasonal blooms and even foraged the farm we got married on for added elements. She also encouraged us to bring jars to the morning-after brunch, where all of our guests created their own bouquets for the road. Those flowers, now dried, still sit in the homes of numerous friends and family members! Thank you, Miriam, for playing a huge role in actualizing the most beautiful weekend of our dreams.”

“Miriam is a truly talented artist; she created the most stunning floral pieces for our wedding that were exactly to our taste and vision. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the final arrangements, and all of the guests were in awe as well! It's rare to find a vendor that communicates like a friend, truly listens to what you want, AND can deliver the most gorgeous product. From start to finish, Miriam sought our feedback and really included us in the design process--including taking us on a walk through the flower district so we could point out every flower we loved! It was sooo fun. She is transparent and flexible with pricing, which is a true miracle in the wedding industry. Thank you for making our wedding beautiful, Miriam!!”

“Miriam is a true artist. Of course she makes beautiful arrangements, but more than that—her pieces have movement and design. She sees beyond what flowers go well together to make a lovely bouquet or boutonniere, and sees how a stem can accent the vessel and highlight the other flowers around it. Not just a florist by any means. Working with Miriam is a delight. It's so easy and joyful. You begin by sitting and creating a vision of sorts, from which she will draw up some ideas. Once the direction the floral arrangements will go is decided, she walks with you through the flower markets letting you just react and point out the buds and blooms that call to you. She combines her artistry with your wishes in a humble and collaborative way. You won't be sorry or disappointed, in fact—the end result will surpass whatever you may have had in mind. I wanted bold colors for my wedding flowers—not just one or two, but many colors that I love and call to me. It was a different direction than most wedding floral arrangements and Miriam dove right in. She was excited to take my vision and bring it to another level. Her arrangements were perfect! They were the perfect balance of special and eye-catching without overtaking the space or celebration. In fact, my friends who were skeptical of the bold color choices in the end admitted that the flowers were beautiful and totally changed their minds about what wedding florals could be.”
