The people behind the petals
Hi, we’re
Ed & Jake.
We love a good flower, an unusual idea, and making something for a real person.
Most days you’ll find us in the studio, making a mess and figuring it out together.

A little from this week
Flowers, sawdust & life around here.
We’re holding on to October: dahlias, a little dog book we’re keeping, and back-room work tucked between weddings.
There’s a candle finish that finally worked, fruit drying for what’s next, and a plan for saving our dahlia tubers after the first kiss of frost.
The full stories, more photos, and our tuber-saving notes live in the email edition. Join us there.
Let’s talk wedding flowers.
Come meet us at the studio. Bring your ideas, a few pictures and a rough budget. We’ll work through the flowers and decor with you, then put together a proposal.
Send the form and we’ll get back to you about a studio visit. Your date is reserved once booking is complete.
Not sure where your idea fits?
Tell us anyway.
Flowers, a gathering, a room that needs something. We’d love to hear what you have in mind.
