    The Florist Who Transforms How You See Flora

    Sarah is an incredibly talented, personable, down-to-earth visionary. I highly recommend her not only for her knowledge, creativity, and ability to execute, but also for her golden heart and warm personality. Sarah's work feels like sculptural poetry. A love letter to nature. Always paying homage to the organic beauty of our land, and creating with respect to what each season offers us. Her floral pieces transform whatever environment they're in. They are ethereal, playful, and sophisticated. Sarah is someone who is connected to her craft on what feels like a very personal level, and the dynamic of her and her pieces draw you in, and inspire you to connect as well. She is such a delight to work with, and a force who gets the ball rolling. She is an artist, and a guide, and a teacher, and I can't recommend her enough.

    Working With Sarah Was a Dream

    Sarah, the owner and floral designer behind Locust, has an absolutely brilliant mind and tender soul. Her approach to florals is wholly unique-- at the start of the process we worked together to develop a mood for our wedding's florals, defining not just palette and flower preferences, but the emotive and imaginative qualities we wanted flowers to evoke on our wedding day. The flowers she ordered were so special and of the upmost quality, which she then thoughtfully paired with foraged materials from the woods near my father's house as well as our new home. When it came to creating the bouquet, table arrangements, and ceremony installations, she truly made us feel like her collaborators. She showed us so many options, asked for input at the perfect times, and in the end, our wedding florals were the true standouts on our special day. We felt so seen and captured by what she created, and the florals lent a magical air to our ceremony and reception. We could not think of a better florist to work with for important life events-- Sarah is an incredibly special, brilliant, thoughtful human. We couldn't recommend her enough!
