Growing, harvesting, and finally creating with flowers has given me the opportunity to see the life of a flower from seed to cut stem. Because of this, I try to showcase in-season and native Missouri flowers in elegant settings. I love using nontraditional flowers and seasonal blooms that feel like an extension of what's going on in the gardens.

Moody Blooms was first a small flower stand set up in a general store. I made seasonal bouquets from what was blooming in my gardens. My small business has evolved and I now do mostly weddings. I started as a way to continue to enjoy my garden beds. I love growing flowers and playing with them in floral design was just such a natural progression. Now I design for larger events, mainly weddings. I contiue to garden. I care for the gardens beds at a venue in Augusta and get to grow and harvest on Sunflower Hill Farm's beautiful property.

Unifying creativity and sustainability is our mission. Floral design is the artful celebration of nature and I think doing that in the most sustainable way possible is how we honor nature best.
