SHELLY HUYNH AIFD Owner & Floral Designer

For as long as I can remember I have always felt a strong connection to design and art.

It is a world that evokes passion and emotion and can convey so much meaning without saying a single word. The creative process makes me feel alive and challenges me to explore parts of myself I have never discovered before. It allows me to speak volumes with just my hands, my intentions and what I see in my world. Because of this, my work is passion-filled and is a true reflection of my life story.

Inspired by my travels abroad and to a part of the world I once called home, I design with intention and purpose – honoring and appreciating what Mother Nature provides each season. With these natural, seasonal and impermanent elements – whether lush and beautiful or desiccated and worn – I tell stories filled with richness, texture and depth, from modern and bold, to tranquil and classic.

I believe my floral designs are more than just beautiful vases of flowers. They impart messages of hope, of a budding romance, of endless love. They are designed with authenticity and integrity and are thoughtfully personalized to reflect each couple’s story.

It is my hope that the beautiful imagery in this book will inspire and touch you. I am excited to work with you, and honored to help tell your love story.

XO,

shelly

TAINS

“What draws us into the desert is the search for something intimate in the remote.” - Edward Abbey Warm winds blow across the sunbaked earth. There is solitude here, and stillness. But life in all its forms abounds in Utah’s famed southern deserts. Inspired by the desolate as well as the vibrancy of life, we mingle raw organic textures with fresh flowers, grounded with ceramic pottery, and uplifted with luxurious textiles. This is desert romance elevated.

The blooming

HARD

“What is paradise, but, a garden, an orchard of trees and herbs, full of pleasure and nothing there but delights.” - William Lawson Remnants of snow slowly begin to disappear, and from barren branches, emerge tiny buds and blossoms. There is beauty in this transition from winter into spring, and the impending bounty it promises. Blooming quince branches, modern lines, white florals and a nod to the Ikebana art form, imbue this strikingly simple and elegant design.

Colorful flower gardens with their lush greens overflow with abundance. Imbued by warmth and sunshine, we paired soft, butter yellow roses with dusty pink blooms, and accented our garden inspiration with bright yellow mimosa that is sure to set your heart aflutter.
