Because the way plants rest, germinate, grow, bloom, struggle, heal, and persist has always offered us a kind of mirror.

Their life cycle maps onto ours through sickness and health, abundance and drought, beginnings, and endings too tangled to tease apart. But beyond metaphor, flowers seduce with a sleepy fragrance. They heal with their leaves, their oils, and their ancient chemistries. They inspire artists who spend lifetimes chasing the colors they toss effortlessly across the fields. They are wrapped and given in celebration, left at gravesides in grief, braided into crowns of remembrance. They are medicine, muse, memory-keeper, and messenger all at once. Live flowers insist that we linger in the velvety now, that we feel the thorn and the bloom at once and remember that beauty and pain are not separate realms but twin threads, winding and blooming together.

let's build

I love building floral worlds in this spirit, honoring the dark and the bright, the sharp and the soft, the wildness and the Wonder in every stem.

BRANDS I HAVE WORKED WITH:

Edges Wild is a floral design studio, but it is also a design consultancy, a prop warehouse, a set shop, a cabinet of curiosities, and a story-building engine. Each floral collection is custom-built and custom-quoted based on your needs, scale, and dreamscape. Everything begins with you and your story, from weddings to editorial sets and installations to brand launches.

This work requires both tenderness and tenacity: Each bloom is handled dozens of times, cut, conditioned, chilled, curated, built into structures, often installed at a height, and deinstalled late at night by someone who hasn't sat down in 12 hours. And since flowers, like food, are a delicate, perishable product, designs are hand-crafted from scratch (think food prep, but on a grand scale) by skilled artisans in the days and hours leading up to your event. My team members and I touch every single stem many times over to shape a living media into the botanical sculptures you'll carry, kiss underneath, and talk to your loved ones across the table over. It is a surprisingly intense, water-logged, thorny process, but one I absolutely love being part of. This is more than just flowers; it's sculpture, improvisation, and performance art at its most immersive.

Eldest daughter of six kids. Founding editor of a college literary journal. Former guardian of three teenage boys. Florist at large. Dreamer in overalls. I came to floristry by way of print media, retail management + visual display, and a lifelong obsession with nature, mythology and storytelling. One thing has held true through every bend in the road or oxbow of the river: I love building environments that make people feel seen and celebrated. That tap into something ancient and a little strange that undergirds our sense of belonging. My design style focuses on elements from your heritage, dreams and personal folklore. It translates intangible things like memory, spirit and longing into physical, multi-sensory floral form.

Meet the Artist

Almost every photo I took on my honeymoon in Scotland is a picture of a plant. almost every photo my spouse Caleb took is a picture of me taking a picture of a plant.

I’m the kind of person who stops mid-hike to marvel at a single mossy stone, and habitually collects and brings home branches. Thankfully Caleb finds this adorable. Any time we clean out the garage, he asks me a version of the same question: "Is this yard waste, or this a special stick?" Nine times out of ten, the answer is: it's a special stick.

My Spouse and I are polyamorous (kitchen table style)! we're both big fans of my other partner Jay (a pilot who is obsessed with birds), and believers in the beauty and legitimacy of all kinds of family structures and love stories — especially the ones that break with tradition or defy expectations.

If you’ve faced pushback, judgment, or isolation for living your truth, or thinking and building differently than your community of origin does, please know: I see you. I'm here for all of you who have bravely learned to trust yourself, and to find yourself and your people in the alternative communities.

I'm the keyboardist in a local punktry (punk-country) band! Find our cowboy angst on Insta at @dorlana.land.
