all about us

​

I'm a visual designer turned floral designer with a background in art installations, visual display, merchandising, color theory & all things DIY.

In pursuit of being my own boss, I launched Shindig Chic way back in 2013 to help those in love. 

Since then, I've collaborated with a few hundred couples across the California coast & beyond to create some seriously special days to remember. 

​

I'm a Pinterest enthusiast that is not afraid of color, loves a challenge & is unusually organized for a creative type. 

​

Shindig Chic is a truly bespoke experience.  I create every bouquet + special piece for each wedding myself &

take on only one wedding per day to offer a completely personal experience.

I don't believe any two weddings should be the same & am inspired by each unique couple.

We collaborate by combining what you love with our design experience to create something truly special. 

Hunting for the seasonal 'flavor of the week' at the flower mart is our secret to success & individuality... and half the fun!
