Tracy has always had an artsy side to her, along with her love for flowers. When she was young, she spent countless hours painting and drawing flowers.

Tracy has a true eye for creating perfection and beauty in her flowers. With her attention to detail, you cannot go on a road trip without her asking you to pull over to cut some MN grown, wildflowers and greens from the side of the road, to add to her newest creations. Make sure when going to the airport with her that she takes her garden sheers out of her purse.
Tracy loves to make anything she does fun and special. When working with each couple, she loves making it a fun, personal, and unique experience!

We work on proposals weekly, once we receive your questionnaire you can expect your proposal in about a week.
No, we are not a retail flower shop that offers daily floral arrangements. We specialize in weddings and events as well as seasonal porch pots.
Our studio is open by appointment only. Our studio is a consult and production space only, no gifts, ready made arrangements, or others items you might see at a flower shop.
This means we are 100% focused on you and your event. We do not have the distraction of running a retail shop and daily deliveries.
We meet most of our brides over zoom.
25% of the proposal total, or a minimum of $250 is due to hold your date. The remaining 75% is due about 30 days before your wedding day. We cannot order your flowers until they are paid in full and may require lead time.
Once we receive your 25% deposit your date is locked in. (it is stated twice on here)
Just send us an email with any adjustments or questions and we will make those changes. Once your date is secured, know that you are free to dream and change your mind as much as you like, final selections are 45-30 days prior to your wedding.
The national average is 10-15% of your overall wedding budget. We find that most of our bride’s average is between $2000-$3000. We can work with most budgets; our minimum order is $500 as flowers are ordered by the bunch or case quantities not by the stem.
Any bride that secures us for their entire wedding we allow them to borrow our glassware if they agree to return it to them the Wednesday after the event. Please ask about this pricing during your consultation. These are for designs that you secure on your proposal designed by us not for DIY.
Yes! We have many affordable container options that are included in the pricing of your designs.
No, however we work closely with Amy’s Cherished Events. They are a wedding and event planning company.
No, unfortunately silk flowers are not our thing, occasionally we may add an artificial flower to our designs to accommodate the design style, but our focus is not silk florals.
We do not do samples unless you are interested in adding this service to your floral budget. Our gallery has many photos of our designs.
We use Venmo or Stripe which has a 3% transaction fee. Stripe is connected to our online proposal system and is the simplest way for you to submit payment. If you choose to pay by check that works as well. Your date will be secured when the check clears and your flowers will be ordered also when your check clears.
We really try to, sometimes we are super successful and other times not as much.
We sure hope so! We love getting links from brides with all their photography so we can create blog posts, social media content, and just treasure your big day. We offer a photo link credit when you share your professional photo link.
With an order of $1200 deliveries are free. Other options are to add a delivery fee to your order or to pick up your flowers the morning of your wedding.
Yes, we ask that you check that the vases and containers are watertight before you drop them off to us. All vases and vessels must be dropped off 10 days prior to the event date. This allows time for us to create a transportation box to accommodate vases or containers with florals arranged in them.
Centerpiece vases and containers should not be over 6 inches in height so that guests can see over them to create a friendly connected atmosphere. Taller vases for guest book, buffet, bars, memory table, dessert table, are acceptable.
