The Flower Bodega Roehm Hepler-Gonzalez The Flower Bodega was first born in New Orleans between myself and my beautiful partner, Katy. Together we built a quaint flower market and library in a pink stucco corner shop. I am returning to Benton Harbor, Michigan - to work the land and give you the flowers. I specialize in wildflower and local harvest of bouquets and floral pieces - harvesting from my small scale and sustainable flower farm, we can create responsible floral adornments by selecting in season and local flowers.
Alex Noelle Letters Alex Schaeffer I started my lettering journey about three years ago in an attempt to find something to relax and unwind. Low and behold I found something that I love so much and has brought me so much joy. I love the art of hand lettering and have been practicing since day one to zero in on my signature style. Not only does the personalization of something special give me all the feels but I love the emotion behind all the words created. This shoot was really special as it showcases how romantic a wedding is with the vibrant colors and the hand lettered pieces add the perfect personal touch.

O'honey Day of Coordination Markianna Svorec Stepping foot into the wedding industry when I was 20 was a very interesting beginning to my career! Working my first job with Millcreek Wilde, then moving onto Sundance Studios to manage. In my 25th year, I opened up O'honey day of coordination, to start coordination on my own. I've not only met, but befriended so many beautiful, kind vendors - taking away stories, memories and laughter from every event. This industry is such a wild ride, but I wish everyone could see it from my view. It was so wonderful to be able to finally do a styled shoot with the inspiration that surrounds me at every wedding. With this shoot we wanted to re-focus back to the feeling of it all, and really hone in on that. The raw, unfiltered feeling of love.
