I'm the face, the hands, and the heart behind C+A — a floral and design studio rooted in Upstate New York.
How I Got Here
Seventeen years and 300+ weddings ago, I started out doing it all — timelines, logistics, vendor coordination, and flowers. Somewhere along the way, the flowers became the thing I couldn't stop thinking about: how one arrangement can set the tone for an entire day. This fall, I'm following that pull all the way — C+A is narrowing its focus to floral and design work.
What I Believe
Good florals aren't decoration — they're mood, memory, and meaning. I design wildly romantic, refined florals that feel true to you, not a trend.
Where I Work
Based in Upstate New York, I work with couples across the Hudson Valley, the Finger Lakes, and Central New York — from a single ceremony arch to a full reception install.
Beyond the Studio
When I'm not knee-deep in stems and buckets, I'm chasing my three boys around or dreaming up the next floral moment.
