What’s in a Name? | Ivy & Bloom – Outer Banks Wedding Florist
Ivy & Bloom is more than just two beautiful words — it’s the heart behind every wedding we design.
In ancient Greek weddings, ivy wreaths were worn by couples to symbolize faithfulness and fidelity. Ivy represents devotion, resilience, and a love that stays rooted even through life’s unexpected seasons. That is what I wish for every couple I create for.
Like ivy, relationships can grow in ways we never imagined. They can become beautifully intertwined, sometimes messy, but deeply rooted. And when nurtured with intention, they bloom.
That meaning lives in every bouquet, ceremony arch, and floral installation we design.

We specialize in romantic, artful wedding flowers designed for beach weddings, waterfront venues, historic inns, and private coastal estates throughout the OBX.
From bridal bouquets and boutonnières to ceremony arches overlooking the ocean, reception centerpieces, and large-scale floral installations, our designs transform your venue and create an unforgettable atmosphere for you and your guests.
Wedding flowers do more than decorate a space — they bring emotion, movement, and cohesion to your entire day. They frame your photos. They set the tone. They create the magic and romance your guests will talk about for years.
With years of experience designing weddings, I approach every celebration as an opportunity to create something entirely unique. No two Outer Banks weddings are the same — and I love the creative challenge of designing florals that reflect each couple’s story, style, and setting.
Whether you're planning a destination wedding on Hatteras Island, a waterfront ceremony in Manteo, or a beach wedding in Corolla or Duck, Ivy & Bloom provides thoughtful design, seamless execution, and florals rooted in meaning.

About Ivy & Bloom | Outer Banks Wedding Florist
I’m the Owner and Lead Wedding Floral Designer of Ivy & Bloom, a full-service wedding florist based on the Outer Banks, North Carolina.
My love for floral design started early — I earned a creativity badge in Girl Scouts during a flower arranging class, and I’ve been designing with flowers ever since. What began as a creative outlet followed me into every job I ever had, until I made wedding flower design my full-time career in 2014.
Today, I specialize in romantic, thoughtfully designed wedding flowers for couples getting married in the Outer Banks and surrounding coastal North Carolina areas. From bridal bouquets and ceremony installations to reception centerpieces and large-scale floral moments, I create designs that feel personal, elevated, and true to each couple’s vision.
Originally from Los Angeles and now proudly living on the OBX, I’m inspired by coastal textures, natural movement, and flowers that feel organic and artful rather than overly structured.
I love working with clients who value connection and trust the creative process. The best weddings happen when couples feel supported, heard, and excited to collaborate.
A few personal facts:
• I probably use too many exclamation marks in emails
• I believe flowers set the emotional tone of a wedding day
• And yes — my secret pleasure is trash reality shows. Will we ever get a RHO OBX?
If you're planning an Outer Banks wedding and looking for a florist who blends artistry with organization and heart, I’d love to connect.
