In the rush of grief, it’s easy to forget how important it is to celebrate the life of someone we’ve lost. Too often, families skip planning a proper celebration of life — and what’s left is a deep sense of incompletion, a feeling that something vital is missing. But when we gather, share stories, and surround ourselves with beauty, something sacred happens: we begin to heal.

That’s where flowers come in.

Flowers speak when words fall short. They bring softness to sorrow and color to the ache of goodbye. Whether someone loved gardening, was a proud veteran, a USC graduate, or simply lived life with grace and elegance — I create floral pieces that reflect the soul we’re honoring.

Every celebration of life is different — and I’m here to help you make it meaningful. Whether your gathering is at a church, an event venue, or right at home, I design custom floral arrangements to match your loved one’s energy and essence. These might include:
 • Custom easel sprays
 • Large cross sprays or wreaths
 • Casket or urn arrangements
 • Podium florals and altar designs
 • Guest table centerpieces and welcome table florals
 • Special touches based on personal details (college colors, hobbies, career, or favorite blooms)

When families call me to help with a funeral or memorial, it’s never just about the flowers — it’s about holding space for beauty in the middle of heartbreak. It’s about honoring a legacy through nature’s most powerful language: flowers.
