Rebecca - Founder, Lead Designer, Floral Designer
I began my career as a wedding planner in 2007, a few years after planning my own wedding, and completing training through the Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants. My detail-oriented personality and organization skills helped to play big part in discovering this passion. When I am not planning weddings, I am camping by a lake and paddleboarding with my dog and my daughter. I live in Farmington. I love traveling to new places, my favorite place I've traveled to is Hawaii.

-Favorite part of a wedding day: THE VOWS.
I think perhaps the real magic isn’t just in the location, it’s in the people. It’s the vows we make, and the ones we have yet to make. Creating memories to help us stay close, or sometimes even find our way back to our family, our friends, and the love we’ll keep forever.

I am D, and I have always had such a deep love for flowers & design. My grandmother had an incredible flower garden and loved to grow roses, and some of my earliest and fondest memories are in her backyard with those blooms. In 2014, I started an event florals company in Los Angeles, CA— putting my love for design & florals both into creating magical event settings! I love the details of each event, the smallest ones tend to be my favorite parts! Now I have 3 kiddos, and we’ve moved our family to Utah! Freelance design is the perfect balance of crazy momlife & a love for creating floral magic these days and I am grateful to be a part of such a fun & talented team of women!
