Nearly 8 years ago, my dreams of having my own floral business were only beginning. I knew there was only a small chance I’d actually be successful at starting a business, leaving my teaching career, and running a business full time. At the time, the idea of even starting a business–let alone a floral design […]

Brianna and Danny were married in November on a perfectly chilly fall day. They chose Callanwolde Fine Arts Center as the setting for their special day, and it couldn’t have been more lovely. I remember the first time I met with Brianna at the studio like it was yesterday. She was so full of excitement […]

On a warm spring day in June, Carly and Patrick exchanged vows inside of a gazebo adorned with lush and fragrant blooms. The day was dripping with joy and excitement and I’m not just being polite. While we were designing the ceremony and reception, we could hear joyful squeals and cheers from the bride and […]

I don’t know if it’s the warmer weather or spring blooms (or both!), but I’ve been getting asked by so many about upcoming workshops. At the time, I didn’t have any planned. After about the fifth person to so kindly ask, I realized I need to give the people what they want! So I’ve decided […]

Hello friend, and happy almost spring! Grab a little cup of coffee, find a cozy blanket, and get to know Gold & Bloom a little better. Back in 2015 I officially started this floral design business–that’s 7 years in business! Over the years so many questions come in on Instagram, while spending time with friends, […]

One of my favorite parts of transitioning from one year to another is looking back, and reflecting on each wedding we had the honor of being a part of. This year in 2021, we designed for twenty-one weddings! We are incredibly thankful for our clients and their families for inviting us to take part in […]

When I first met with Gracie to talk over florals, she said to me “Jenna, I want a fall wedding…in the summer. I want it to be classic, but also bohemian. How can we make this happen?” I was so excited for the challenge. Together, we dreamed up a beautiful terracotta, blush, rust, and honey […]

Millie Mracek is a precious little girl from Marietta, Ga who was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma right before her third birthday. She fought incredibly hard, and now she is an angel in heaven. Much of Millie’s life was devoted to helping others who were also fighting cancer, spreading joy to her family and friends, […]

On a Friday in Dahlonega, Kirsten and Landon were married underneath the branches of a tree overlooking the vineyard. From the photos, one would probably never guess that this restaurant and expansive vineyard were located in Georgia. Montaluce is a truly special place, and although it is only about 2 hours from Atlanta, it transports […]

I’ve always loved having family photos taken, and as our kids get older it becomes even more special (and a bit more chaotic). This spring we were honored to have our friend Megan Wallach capture our family. The blossoming trees were perfection, and Cooper and Emmie had so much fun playing in the falling petals. […]

Mother’s Day is May 9th, so it’s time to get our pre-orders in for beautiful farm-fresh bouquets! This year, we will be selecting the most beautiful blooms from our favorite local farms, with additional specialty flowers ordered from our local wholesaler. Preorders will be open until April 30th or until we reach out maximum on […]

This is the most-asked question about my life, by far. It’s actually a really amazing story that only God could have orchestrated long before it was a thought in my mind. Every time it is asked, my eyes light up and I usually say something like “hold on tight and grab a cup of coffee […]

Share some joy with your loved one, neighbor, friend, mother, your child’s teacher, or even for yourself. Not only will you have two different sizes to choose from, each […]

We are always finding new ways to serve our clients better, and we have a few new offerings for our clients! We have always offered gauze runners, lanterns, candles, vases, “Mr and Mrs” chair signs, and pedestals for rent. Starting in 2021, we will begin offering the following items: NEW RENTALS Velvet linens for accent […]

There were so many changes this year with wedding days including guest-count, color palette, the wedding date, and even the city/state. It’s been quite the wild ride. This made seeing my couples finally say their vows even more special than ever. In a year of such uncertainty, love prevails. It has been a blessing and […]

At the beginning of 2020, I posted on Instagram that I believed this year would be a year of growth. Well, it was that and more! Initially when Covid hit, we did experience a standstill just like everyone else. Thankfully our wedding season picked back up in July and we have been busy ever since. […]

Hello my flower friends! I am so excited to begin offering small group floral workshops again. Flowers are obviously a true love of mine, and teaching is as well. I’ve found that teaching floral arranging and design brings me so much peace and joy, and I’ve missed it so much! The last workshop I held […]

Anna and Jammy got married on a warm and bright Sunday in the fall. From the beginning of the floral planning process, Anna was excited about the flowers. She loved texture, rich autumnal hues, and unexpected floral elements. She also really trusted me, which makes for a really creative and positive experience for everyone. Anna […]

Dear friends, As you know, we are experiencing a true emergency due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19. It is a serious concern as it continues to spread and change lives across the globe. I come to you today to let you know I am here, thinking of you and your families, and praying for […]

The bridal bouquet is easily my favorite aspect of the floral design day. I spend a lot of time with that bad boy–designing it, photographing it, holding it in my lap while we drive…There is always a sigh of relief when I’ve finally handed it over to the bride. And my most cherished part of […]

What I loved most about Jessica and Thomas’s wedding day was their relaxed and joyful attitudes, solely focused on getting married and celebrating with their friends and family. Although their outdoor ceremony had to be moved inside due to rain, they didn’t skip a beat and the smiles never left their faces. Their day was […]

Whew, it’s been a while since I’ve really sat down and written what was on my heart. Many of you may not know, but before I started Gold & Bloom, I was a blogger…for over six years! That chapter closed when Gold & Bloom began, but I still had hopes of keeping up this floral […]

Yunhwa and James chose to have their wedding in Piedmont Park, located in the heart of Atlanta. Piedmont Park is a beautiful (and huge!) park that I’ve visited countless times before, but never for a wedding!  It was so much fun designing for Yunhwa and her family, and these photos truly captured the joy from […]

Lamar and I will be celebrating our third wedding anniversary in….Charleston! We will be traveling there later this month, We couldn’t be more excited and ready to be there already! I visited Charleston for the first time last year with my best friend, and we had the greatest time exploring and eating all the good […]

Happy June! It’s an exciting day over here, because I’m officially on summer break! Today is my last day of school before the summer, and I can hardly wait to relax, focus on flowers, and have more time to spend with family and friends. This month we have three big weddings, and we are heading […]

Happy May! May is such a gorgeous and sweet month for so many reasons. Birthdays, the last day of school, warm weather and rain showers, and just an overall feeling of newness. I’m excited to share some fun news with you all further down in the post…let’s just say we are definitely celebrating over here! […]

One beautiful day in February, I met up my good friend Carrie Joy  of Carrie Joy Photo along with the sweet Michelle of Morning Light for another spring flower play date. Last spring when I first started Gold & Bloom, the three of us had ourselves a little shoot in a nearby park a few miles […]

Happy new year, loves! Yes, it’s still January, so we can still say “new year”, right? January has been extremely restful so far. I’ve basically forced myself to rest, because come mid february, I’m going to be running around like a crazy flower lady until…well, the end of wedding season (July).  The Good Wife has […]
