Welcome to the Journal

This is the first entry in what we hope will become a long, slow record of life at Hattie Lou Blooms — what's blooming, what we're pressing, the weddings we get to be a small part of, and the things we're learning along the way.

Why a journal?

Most of what we make is fleeting. A bouquet lasts a week. An event lasts a day. Even the pressed pieces, much as we try to give them forever, are quietly made of moments. Writing some of those moments down feels right.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul. — Luther Burbank

We'll post here when there's something worth saying: seasonal notes, behind-the-scenes from the studio, sometimes the story behind a piece (with permission). Thanks for reading.
