Desert Bloom & Design

The mantle has grown this year and “all is calm all is bright” is an understatement

Had the most amazing time putting together the decor for my drive by/ zoom shower yesterday. Only 5 weeks to the Nugget’s due date 😱❤️. Thank you to for the beautiful peacock chair I felt like a queen.

Had fun with the Easter color palette full of golds browns and pinks. We set out blankets with bud vases napkins and floral ears for the cutest little family get together on the lawn. I think post COVID I’m going to keep the picnic trend going 🙌. Also, shout to for letting me do a last min cooler shop ❤️ the flowers made the day that much more festive.

Happy Easter! I didn’t snap a single picture today, these fun ears all got fresh flowers added this morning like the one on the bottom right, but it was so nice to celebrate Easter with our growing family picnic style on the lawn. Crazy to think in a couple short months the Copeland cousins will be here 🥰.

Sent this little babe off for a shoot this morning. Flower crowns are my OG love and what got me started in the floral game so it’s like coming home to make them ❤️❤️❤️

Long post, sorry in advance.
Hi everyone! It’s been a minute, well more than a minute, but that is why I wanted to take a moment to update this page. It has been the most insane 10 months, and first and foremost my heart is with everyone who’s been affected by The global pandemic. To add to the stress of this year since March we moved, finished renovating our prior home and sold that house. I also graduated and on our 5th wedding anniversary we found out we are expecting our first child! Phew I’m tired just writing all that. That being said I’ve taken a temporary step back from this beautiful passion of mine and while I miss it and the people I’ve met along the way all the damn time it was the right decision for both my mental and physical health. I promise I plan to get back to my floral “roots” as soon as I can (post baby), but until then I’m sending you all positive and healing vibes in these crazy times.
XOXO,
Taylor

Happy Friday! If you all didn’t see my story yesterday it’s officially peony season, get yours while they are around. A few tips and tricks:
1. them closed the tighter the better, trust me they will last longer!
2. take off all leaves below the top of the vase
3. cut the bottom two inches off at an angle
4. keep the water full and fresh

I’ve had these for a week and they smell amazing and look even better.

Bouquet class with was the perfect way to take a small amount of time for myself today and create. These blooms fed my soul and brought me some joy and I hope they brighten your day as well. As Kurt Vonnegut said “Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place”

Throwing it back to something sweet to get you through this third Monday of telecommuting and day 14 of quarantine .

Day 13 of self quarantine and very grateful I got my hands on some local lilac’s from

Happy Friday and day 10 of social distancing. Things I’m doing without being able to buy flowers, planting flowers! Today we started our garden, we’ve been waiting because it snowed here yesterday 🥶😱, but the weather seems to be turning the corner. This year is the first time I’ll be attempting to grow not just edible things but pretty things thanks to .

Thankful Thursday (I had to remind myself what day it was today 😬), and day 10 of quarantine! Amongst all the insanity going on, I have to say I’m beyond grateful for the people in my life, specifically those in this picture. Your support has allowed me to take on everything in my life full force. From this business to getting my MBA all on top of moving and home renovations. Love you to the moon and back! 📸:
