About Blossoms Breeze

I didn't start this business. I came back to it.

Where it started

A valley, a pair of snippers, and a common room with flowers

I grew up at a boarding school in India called Rishi Valley, around 350 acres, surrounded by mountains. Sometime around seventh grade, a teacher ran a workshop on Ikebana, the Japanese art of arranging flowers with intention instead of volume. I started walking the campus with a pair of snippers, gathering whatever was blooming, and placing the flowers in the common room so everyone could enjoy them. Something clicked that never unclicked.

The long way around

It stayed in the back of my mind

There was a long stretch where flowers stayed a side project, something I did for my own home, for friends' birthdays, in whatever spare hour I could find. The idea of doing it for real was always in the back of my head.

What changed

I'd waited long enough

It's been a busy stretch, juggling work and family. But at some point I felt like I'd waited long enough, and that I needed to let this creative side of me actually express itself, and start sharing the beauty flowers have always brought me with other people, too.

"I lose all track of time when I am with flowers. It is just me and them, and it is magical."

Blossoms Breeze today

These days I design florals for intimate gatherings, dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and the kind of milestones people actually remember, and layer in linens and candles for the full table experience when that's what the gathering calls for. I use seasonal, local flowers whenever possible, and I never work with floral foam. It's bad for the earth, and sustainable mechanics, chicken wire, kenzans, and the like, are simply the better way to work.

When you host a gathering, the table is the heart of it, layered with warmth and beauty, so every guest feels a little special the moment they sit down.

I take a limited number of clients each season on purpose, so every client gets my full attention and my best work, every time.

How I work
Foam-free, always
Chicken wire, kenzans, and hairpin frogs, better for the earth, and it looks more like it was actually gathered.
Seasonal, local when possible
I work with what's blooming, sourced close to home whenever I can. What's available shifts through the year, and I like it that way.
Full-service, start to finish
I handle delivery, setup, and pickup, so you get to be a guest at your own gathering.
A small number of clients
Every event gets real time and real attention, because there are only so many I take on.
Composed fresh, every time
Your florals and tablescape are designed around you, your space, your season, your occasion. No two clients ever get the same table.

If you're planning something, big or small, a dinner for six or a party for eighty, I'd love to hear about it.
