When Kathleen and I met for our initial consultation, sparks flew! Our ideas were so in sync with each other’s, it was like magic. From the centerpiece ideas to the flower choices, each detail was so much fun to discuss. Kathleen and I both walked away from that meeting in agreeance that our goal for […]

Yes, it’s already time to think about the holiday season! I know, I can’t believe it either. I hope you’ll join me in December for a wintery workshop! Our workshops are geared toward the non-designer. Any ladies (or gents) who enjoy flowers, putting together arrangements at home, and want to learn to create artistic and […]

It’s workshop time again, friends! The last few years I’ve only had the capacity to host one floral design workshop per year. One of my goals this year is to host two special workshops–one in the June, and one in December. Our workshops are geared toward the non-designer. Any ladies (or gents) who enjoy flowers, […]

Allyson and Bryan were married on the most beautiful fall day in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, and these photos by my talented friend Megan Wallach Photography, truly captured and joy of their wedding. When my team and I set foot in the gardens in which they would soon say their vows, I was in awe […]

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner (less than a month, y’all!), and we are here to bring you all the floral goodness. Last year, we had customers order flowers for their grandparents, sisters, loves, friends, and teachers. Our artistic bouquets filled with specialty blooms will surely make someone’s day! This year we are offering […]

We finished up our 2022 wedding year a few weeks ago, and I’m left feeling grateful for each client that invited us to design for their big day. The beauty of each wedding day is that each client is so unique, has a special vision for their day, and a one-of-a-kind design plan. How blessed […]

Gold & Bloom has been featured in several publications including Style Me Pretty and Wedding Sparrow, and while each feature is special and rewarding in its own way, this one certainly takes the cake! We are so happy to announce that one of our real weddings from November 2021 has been featured in Martha Stewart […]

When Sarah Lampley asked me to design an Easter arrangement for her table, I jumped for joy and said yes before she could even complete her sentence. As a florist, it is always such an honor and joy to design for friends, but it’s not often that I have the opportunity to do so. Sarah […]

A little something about me, I really love Valentine’s Day. Give me all the heart-shaped, red, and pink things! And since you can’t have Valentine’s Day without flowers, I’m doing everyone a favor by offering bouquets for the second year in a row! You’re welcome. 😉  Last year we had such a wonderful turnout, and […]

This is one of our most commonly asked questions, for good reason. The thought of beautiful flowers with so much life left in them going into the trash is an understandably uncomfy thought. Well I’m here to put your mind at ease–here at Gold & Bloom, we do everything in our power to find homes […]

I know it’s only the beginning of November, but I’m already gearing up for a special holiday season, and I’m so excited to announce our 2021 Holiday workshop! It has been more than three years since I’ve hosted a workshop in December, so this is BIG. We will be transforming our little studio into a […]

Addison and Scott’s late spring wedding at The Swan House is one I’ll never forget. Not only was the design an absolute dream, but more importantly the family of the bride truly became my friends. Addison and her parents treated me with kindness and trusted me wholeheartedly with each decision, and we laughed together through […]

Samantha and Zachary were originally set to get married August of 2020, but due to Covid restrictions they decided to postpone until April 2021. Sometimes second options are not as great, but in this case it was absolutely a blessing! This spring day in April was beautiful and sunny, and an outsider looking in on […]

This summer wedding was what my floral (and client!) dreams are made of. Mary Claire was originally planning to marry Philip in May 2020, but Covid had other plans. They postponed to August, and it couldn’t have been any more perfect! Despite switching from a spring wedding to a summer wedding, we were able to […]

The instant I met Christine and her mom, Mary, I knew our floral-planning journey would be a sweet one. They met me with an abundance of kindness, excitement, and ideas that were beyond beautiful. Originally, Christine and Jonathan were to be married at one of my favorite venues: Montaluce Winery in Dahlonega. We had planned […]

Like so many others, Emily and George’s wedding plans were disrupted due to the coronavirus. When we initially began planning florals for their wedding back in January 2020, it was to take place in Athens, Georgia with all of their friends and family. Four months before their wedding day, they made the difficult decision to […]

Lucky you! You have a beautiful floral arrangement to take care of, and now you’re wondering how to keep it fresh and pretty for as long as possible. There’s a myth floating around that flowers fade quickly and don’t last. While they don’t last forever, you can make them last much longer than just a […]

We are so happy you’re interested in our monthly flower subscription! Now more than ever we are all spending more time at home, and having fresh florals in your home every month will help usher in joy and beauty. It will be my honor to design for you every month. Each month, you will receive […]

Receptions are always such a fun celebration, and due to covid it is the area that required the most change. Most of our couples needed to downsize their wedding guest count, which made us need to look at our design plan and make some adjustments. What I noticed this year is that due to some […]

The bridal bouquet says a lot about a wedding day. Not only does it reflect the mood, tone, and style of the wedding day, it should reflect the couple. It always gives me butterflies when I am about to present it to the bride, and it never fails to be the sweetest moment of the […]

Earlier this week I shared photos from a quick silhouette project, and received so many comments and messages asking how to do it. So here we are! When it comes to projects nowadays, they have to be cheap and fast. I can’t spend hours or lots of money on materials for a DIY, and I’m […]

5 years ago, I took the big step in starting my own business. Although so much has changed in 5 years, the heart inside Gold & Bloom remains the same–to bring joy to others and to glorify God in all that is done here. Year five has proven to be a challenge with our current […]

Gold & Bloom is FIVE this year, and it’s our first time offering Mother’s Day bouquets. Usually we are busy with May weddings, but since they have been postponed due to the Coronavirus, we are choosing to get a little creative with our offerings. If you are interested in purchasing a Mother’s Day hand-tied bouquet, […]

  Update 4/1/2020: We are no longer taking orders for delivery or pickup until this virus gets under control. The safety and well-being of us, our families, and our community (that’s you!) is our highest priority. Stay safe and stay home, friends.  Friends, I’m asking for your help. Due to the current crisis, the flower […]

It was a beautiful summer day in August with clear skies and a slight breeze–a perfect day for Cara and David to say “I do”. After many months of planning, hours upon hours of work and dedication, they were finally married at Peachtree Christian Church. Afterward, their guests enjoyed dinner and dancing at the stunning […]

Mary Carter and Brent are married! It was a beautiful autumn day, and even though the weather wasn’t perfect, the smiles never faded from their faces. After all, it was their wedding day. The day they had been planning for such a long time, and it was finally here. I’m so happy for these two […]

In May, we welcomed our daughter into this world–Emelia “Emmie” James.  She’s so tiny and sweet…we just love her! Please be patient with us as our summer hours are a little different as we are adjusting to our new life as a family of four. It may take a couple of extra days for a […]

This dream of a wedding was so fun, laid back and that’s all thanks to the sweet bride Kelsey! Together we built this beautiful plan for a summer garden wedding inside of a historic courthouse in Decatur. The bright blooms and greenery contrasted so beautifully with the white marble walls of the venue. It truly […]

Michelle and I first started planning her flowers last fall, so when her May wedding day finally arrived it was a bit surreal! Her and Bryan chose a gorgeous country club in Atlanta: The Capital City Club. It has beautiful gardens, views of the rolling golf-course, and of course the castle-like building is to die […]

It was probably the windiest days of all days in the north Georgia mountains, but it was also one of the most gorgeous days! Jeanice and Rob got married at White Oaks Barn in Dahlonega, Georgia. Their entire wedding was very nature-inspired with moss accents, outdoor ceremony, and lots of flowers and greens! Jeanice even […]

A few weeks ago I had a wedding with lots and lots of pretty blooms! The bride, Kelsey, wanted blush, ivory, and darker pink blooms mixed with different types of greenery. This has definitely been a popular color palette this spring, and I’m not mad about it at all. The big design day was on […]

Oh, April. I’m so happy to see you again! Flowers are in full bloom around here, and everything is just looking so beautiful. This month is a big one with 5 weddings (Yes, five!), traveling to New Orleans last weekend, lots of birthdays, and spring break. Plus, one month closer to summer break! Holla. A […]

This morning I woke up to some super gorgeous photos in my inbox from Macy and Andrew’s New Year’s Eve wedding. Geneoh Photography did such a beautiful job capturing the joy and love of this day. The last time I had visited Foxhall Resort, it was with Lamar when we were searching for our own […]
