BUNCH IT UP
As a florist I know flowers are one of the most important aspects of your wedding day. There’s something magical about taking a simple bloom and turning it into a symbol of love, celebration, and new beginnings.
Each arrangement I create tells a story—one that reflects the couple’s personalities, dreams, and the sacredness of the day they’ve been planning for.
I love that flowers have the ability to transform a space, bringing it to life in ways words often can't. The soft blush of peonies, the elegance of roses, the playful pop of wildflowers—it’s all about creating the perfect mood, whether it’s romantic and timeless or bold and modern.
But it’s not just about aesthetics.
It’s about being a part of such a meaningful moment in someone’s life. The joy I feel knowing that my flowers will be part of a couple’s most cherished memories fills my heart with purpose.
I equally love and am very passionate about the History of flowers and the bouquet. The bouquet has followed our desire for creativity and love of flowers throughout the ages.
Flowers are pure beauty and a way of expressing emotions. The word bouquet comes from the french bosquet and means "little forest".
The first known bouquet form dates from Mesopotamia and Egypt. This bouquet was shaped like a torch, flowers were layered in circles on top of eachother, arranged with the importance of each flower being the holiest one, the lotus on top.
At Bunch it up we are not just offering an arrangement; we are offering a tangible connection to emotions, memories, and the beauty of life itself. It’s this deep emotional impact that makes the act of creating flowers for people so important and fulfilling.
