Here we go! So excited to spend my afternoon designing alongside my incredible friend and colleague Jody McLeod. Arthur Williams of Babylon Floral in Denver is judging and created our palette of materials. Special thanks to Cleveland Plant And Floral Company for donating the materials and sponsoring the session. A huge thank you to Stephanie Garrett for recommending me to Laura Finan as a participant!! Thank you to Cara, the photographer with the most wonderful view of the world for these photos. Check her out at F8 Photo Studio! And last but certainly not least, THANK YOU to my amazing family, both at home and at EG and Two Maids, for being my cheering section! I'm definitely the underdog in this match-up but I cannot wait to listen, learn and be inspired by Jody and Arthur! #flowergirlnc #ncmabloom #floraldesign #battleofthebouquets #flowerfun #ncma #englishgardenraleigh #englishgarden (at The English Garden Florist of Raleigh)

This team! They've made me eat my Wheaties. Made me get in the design room (as much as that is possible these days). And inspired me with their pep talks and votes of confidence. I could not do this without them! So grateful to call these folks and the ones not pictured here my family and my daily inspiration! Getting ready for Seeing Red and the chance to share the stage with my colleague & friend Jody McLeod as we engage in the battle of the bouquets today at Art in Bloom! #flowergirlnc #ncmabloom #floraldesign #battleofthebouquets #flowerfun #ncma #englishgardenraleigh #englishgarden (at The English Garden Florist of Raleigh)

Art in Bloom @ncartmuseum begins on Thursday evening with a cocktail #sneakpeek! #museummembership #artinbloom #ncmabloom #kehindewiley #scoutedart (at North Carolina Museum of Art)

NC Museum of Art does it again with Art in Bloom. Beautiful, bountiful, inspiring art and flowers. Already I can't wait for next year's lovely annual tradition at the museum.
