My name is Colleen Carrère.

Les fleurs c’est moi.

I was raised by flowers. I learned to appreciate flowers as an art-form from an early age. Grandmother Carrère kept an English garden. My mother taught me to add seasonal favorites to birthday cakes and bed side tables. I could find my father in the garden at all hours tending to his plants with a fire going in the hearth. I was raised by flowers.

I am inspired by the cold Northern California light, the fog and rawness of the coast, and love to bring warmth and movement into spaces by sourcing seasonal flowers and combining them with locally foraged berries, leaves,  & textural elements.

When I am not tending to the garden and Carrère weddings/events I work as a freelance florist on destination weddings globally. I am an online floral educator and advocate for design forward artful design within the industry.

My goal is to bring your vision to life. No two people, occasions or events are ever the same - and neither should be the florals.

I am honored to have had my work featured on B.Loved Blog  and Joywed
