She was doing something with a plant that was so interesting, I kept sneaking little glances. I didn't want to ask her what because I didn't want her to know I was clueless about the world of beautiful plants. But I was in the area with a client, and the store caught my attention. It says "plants" and "parties" on the outside. I stopped in, saw all the greenery, and thought, "This is the perfect place to host a plant party." I have two young ladies in the family who are building their own plant garden, including veggies, and I'd like to surprise them with a plant party. I walked around admiring the plants; they stood so tall, healthy, and gorgeous in their containers. I actually wanted to purchase one, but didn't know the protocol, like whether it would stay inside the container or if I had to take it without the container. So I decided I'll do a little research and then return. But most of all, this is such a beautiful store and a great place to have a plant party! Now, I just looked at the website and saw a list of services for a great price!

In route to a bookstore, I noticed the succulent store and decided to pop in. Succulent Native is a plant boutique in Austin, Texas, specializing in succulents, cacti, and creative plant arrangements. Quite honestly, I never knew that there were so many permutations of succulents. I actually believe I might be able to keep a succulent alive since they require little maintenance. I learned from the store manager that they host succulent parties. That would be a cool way to spend time with family and friends. In addition, while they have some beautiful plants, some can be a bit pricey. With that said, there is a section of the store that has some reasonably priced smaller plants. There's a little something for everyone.

Growing up you come to learn about tulips, roses, orchids, lilies, hydrangeas; however, beyond the door of commonality there is a world of florals and dry flowers that elevate any flower bouquet or arrangement. Burlap & Twine introduces you to flowers you've never heard of but they elevate whatever occasion you're celebrating. I love the signature wrapping and the vases for arrangements are so pretty. You can sign up for their seasonal bouquet delivery service or purchase eucalyptus bundles. I've also had the chance to find them around town with their flower truck which is always a fun moment. All in all, this is an Austin staple I highly recommend going to for a floral moment that'll brighten up anyone's day!

Also I highly recommend joining their rewards program as each time you buy something here you gain $1 for every $10 that you spend here.

Be sure to bring your mask and use the hand sanitizer when you walk in as YOU WILL want to touch and pick up everything they have here! No worries if you would rather shop online - they have everything listed on their website that they have in-store. Definitely worth doing a curbside pickup as I had a super easy and fast curbside pickup when I picked up a few gifts for a friend and for myself. Be sure to check out their calendar of events. They have a bunch of cool and fun DIY classes you can take and even offer virtual classes like Plant Care 101! All events are monthly and they can even host a birthday party or other parties if you inquire which is an excellent idea to have the whole backyard space they got for yourself, friends, and some friendly plants.

I don't even remember how I stumbled on them, but I was immediately drawn to the website (it's minimalist and clean) which featured arrangements overflowing with succulents. this seemed fun and unusual and I wanted my wedding to be that. as a part of our DIY decor, I folded about 200 origami cranes and wanted these to be included in all the arrangements. if I remember correctly, I kinda just dropped them off with Jenn and hoped for the best. holy shnikes did Pollen deliver! I mean, they literally delivered (I literally CRIED when I walked into the bridal suite at the venue in Driftwood). the flowers that I didn't even really care that much about or really even want (?? is that a thing?) were PERFECT. they were just so incredibly gorgeous. it was like these super-humans crawled in my brain and created my vision without me even knowing what that was. the cranes were so perfect. anyway, I wanted sunflowers and succulents and my wacky cranes and they just hit it out of the ballpark. AND their prices were reasonable, but even if they weren't, they'd 100% be worth it.

We approached the decor with the vibes of "a garden, but make it fall with a dash of whimsy and fantasy". Jen at Native Bloom was very quick to pick up on these vibes and delivered a quote with inspiration pictures that matched what we were looking for. Throughout the entire process, Jen was very easy to work with. We had a reasonable budget for the flowers and when there were aspects of her design that fell out of our price range, she quickly worked with us to find more cost-effective alternatives. We also collected a lot of vintage glassware for the table settings and were keen on having some of them used in the floral design. Jen was kind enough to meet us halfway between her shop and our home to pick up the vessels and incorporated them beautifully into the tablescapes. She provided fun suggestions to the floral design, including adding darker red tones to our dusty pink and sage green wedding colors and finding the perfect, fluffiest, most mystical moss to add to the tables. Jen helped to make our wedding day look and feel beautiful and we are so happy with the work she did! Photos by Abby Carissimo.

I was wary that they wouldn't do enough color with our palette since their social media has a lot of white/pastel/rosy hued florals, but they really knocked it out of the park with our color palette! We had various hues of purple as our primary color, with gold, warm yellows and burnt oranges as our secondary colors. While we did ask for more yellow/orange to be featured in our blooms since the rest of our decor focused on purple/gold, I thought there would be a little more varied purples in our arrangements. Was also hoping for a looser/more flowy bouquet, but what they created was still beautiful (design inspiration may have gotten lost in employee turnover since we'd been planning for 2+ years during the pandemic and they had some changes during that time.) Again, everything was still gorgeous and I loved the variety of color, textures and types of flowers used. It was fun, vibrant and unique. We added a tall install on our head table towards the end of the planning process and I'm glad we did because it made such a beautiful statement! I also liked the variety of vases they had available to use.

She was very easy to work with during a long delayed wedding due to the pandemic. We changed our venue and date 3 times and she stayed lock step with us, reconfiguring the design as the table formations were altered and the dining room tables were brought from inside to outside. She was honest with us with the cost and labor when we were toying around with hanging greenery on the tent rafters and we ultimately decided to put the budget elsewhere. Her and her team were total pros, super easy to work with, highly responsive, and have creative designs that will be noticed.

Her work is whimsical but refined, trendy but timeless. We absolutely loved the flowers that she used, and loved that she incorporated the fruit (that we asked for) in our centerpieces. We obviously loved what she made for our wedding, but all of her work is incredible. (I still scroll through her instagram feed to look at beautiful things and get stress relief).
