Connection Through Florals
Flowers truly bring people together. They are a natural magnet that connects us as humans in the most wonderful and thoughtful ways.
I absolutely love getting a peek into my clients’ worlds through flowers.
It is through an intimate bond of florals that I am allowed a glimpse into their lives, able to hear their stories, and learn more about who they are…
Bride.
Groom.
Expectant mother.
Graduating senior.
Grieving family.
Lover.
Friend.
One of the best parts of flower design, I dare say THE best part of being a florist, is the clients that I have. Stunning people, beautiful stories. We are all connected... their circles of the universe and mine… bridged by way of flowers.
It’s an honor to play a part of clients’ stories, to be a part of each of their lives and memories that last a lifetime.
Some clients even receive flowers from me once, and then become a client/friend for life. I’ve even seen wedding clients grow families as the years pass by. I’ve walked through relationship milestones with young couples who grow older together.
It’s all about connection… the beauty of relationships and companionship… in this vast universe that is sometimes made smaller and tied together in a beautiful way... through flowers.
Spring Tribute
With open arms, Spring, we welcome you.
The hibernating of winter is behind us, it is now time to awaken, to be reborn.
It is a new season, with fresh blossoms.
Ideas are bountiful, and there is expansive space for growth.
With an invigorating energy in the air, we become excited for Spring’s gifts.
There is hope and anticipation for the possibilities to come.
All of nature has been lying dormant. We are rested.
We are rejuvenated, and we are ready to take on a renewed energy that comes with the changing season.
Birds chirping, bright colors appearing, blooms expanding.
The time has arrived for nature to become more alive — and that includes us!
Spring is here. How will YOU blossom?
SPRING EQUINOX | 2021
To listen to the Huntress spring equinox playlist, click here!
Spring: the beautiful time of year when all of nature comes out of hibernation. In the wintertime, we tend to keep warm and cozy while retreating inside.
But now, we defrost and EXPAND.
There is beauty and warmth found in the spring sunlight. The days are longer… The sunrise is earlier and the sunset is later. We have more daylight to enjoy and the sunshine-y vibes hit your skin in a different and glorious way.
When spring makes her arrival, there is a renewed vibrancy everywhere we turn — in the colors of flowers, in the budding tree branches, in the spirited energy of the animals.
Everything appears happier, brighter in the springtime.
For us, we have the opportunity to lean into more motivation and energy in all of life. Over the winter, we’ve been asking ourselves, “What do I want to change? What do I want to do?” And now, now we find a new inspiration to make things happen.
Because of COVID and quarantine and all that came with it in the past year, we’ve been pushed into a deeper sense of hibernation.
But now, as things are starting to open up and there are solutions becoming available to us, we expand… We step foot into the light and life and possibility and goodness that springtime offers.
Life is like a firmly closed bud, that once was wrapped tightly around itself, but is now blossoming boldly and beautifully. The winter rest is over, and now spring invites us to bloom and grow again.
A Year Ago (A Ramble)….
The night before I met up with some friends and had dinner at a restaurant, shared smiles, laughs and hugs without a care. The very next day we were in quarantine as a result of COVID-19 hitting the world and finally making it’s way to the US. What a time. It started out as a ‘temporary state’, maybe a few weeks, months, who knows? I never would have thought that toilet paper would be the rarest commodity. A few weeks spent scrounging for groceries and amazon delivery times, really wishing I was better prepared for disasters, but also who wants to live in fear? Feeling like the world may actually end and wishing I hadn’t waited 2 years to see my family, since now I may never have the chance again.
It was stressful in the early months... next-level anxiety, being thrust into the unknown and having to learn how to swim and trust in uncertainty. It was a process that unfolded over time and the journey was pretty volatile. COVID, plus an insane election year full of Trump antics and crucial BLM movement and protests taking place all at the same time. It’s been emotional, overwhelming at times and important daily.
On the business side, all of our wedding and event clients postponed or canceled their dates. There was a lot of heartache and many emotional rollercoasters, all while trying to hold it together and remain hopeful. It has been a strong lesson in balance, feeling it all and finding a way back to center. I’ve shifted (I’m SO over the word pivot), I’ve expanded Huntress offerings, started #flowertherapy to brighten days, I’ve altered my focus, I began sending emails and writing blogs and working on digital courses…all things that were on my never-ending to-do list before, but now I finally had the time.
I also rested, embraced the pause, found peace in trusting that this is what is meant for us now and finding the lessons within it. Noticing the ‘beauty in the everyday’, as I have for years, but now it went a little deeper. This has given flowers more meaning in my life than ever. Taking an unexpected year off financially has a way of putting things into perspective.
On a personal note, I dove into all the self care I could until I burned out on it…workshops, breath-work, meditation, zooms with friends, reaching for meaning and connection any where I could. I got my blood-work done, discovered food sensitives, changed my diet. They were saying we would open back in April, then May, then summer, then who knows when. I immersed myself into Yoga Teacher Training, because why not? I’ve been wanting to get back to the mat for years and now I finally had the time.
When you realize that your entire life can change in one day, the most important things rise quickly to the surface. It’s easier to prioritize when it’s quiet, when you’re still, when you have no other choices. Solutions find their way to the top. All of this happened in the right time for me. The foundation I had built, and was building, is helping me navigate through to the other side of this.
I allowed myself to take chances again, to dream, to open my heart, to repeatedly jump, to feel ALL the feelings and mostly to feel ALIVE. That’s what we’re here for.
What has come forth for me most during this year is COMMUNITY, SURRENDER, and LOVE.
COMMUNITY | We aren’t meant to do this human experience alone. I’ve learned who matters, who has my back, how to ask for and receive help, to trust and to hold those I love close and prioritize relationships. To be present. To take in those smiles, laughs, conversations, to listen, to hold space, to be in the moment. Fuck the phone, social media, comparison, and self doubt. These things really won’t matter in the end. The truth is within your heart and those that truly see you will remind you of that.
SURRENDER | We were never in control and we never will be. So we can hang on tight, stress, grind our teeth and tighten our bodies… or simply loosen our grip, take a deep exhale, trust, let go, and enjoy the ride. Mindset is everything, we have choices and we decide how we react and flow through this life we’ve been given.
LOVE | I’ve been a chronic people pleaser, and I’ve finally learned to love myself first. I choose me now. I have been there for me my entire life and I will be there for me until my last breath. I can count on me always. This practice has allowed me to open my heart again. And through that, I’ve seen that I can count on so many others too. I’ve built an insanely beautiful tribe of people in my circle over the years - I am the luckiest. I knew this before, but this time has reinforced the strength of those bonds. In the past, I’ve stayed too long in relationships that didn’t deserve me. I’ve closed my heart after allowing it to be broken. In loving me, I’ve realized I deserve the love of others. I deserve people that will show up consistently, that will love all of me, including the supposed ‘flaws’. I love who I am, I love the people I carry in my heart, I love the highs and lows, the depth, the rawness, the realness, the feeling of love, the warmth in my heart and my being. I choose LOVE over everything else. What a gift we have right within us.
This photo sums it up for me... the juxtaposition of beauty in heartbreak, happiness in grief, and holding all that blossoms within the grit. This is what we stand for, this is the spirit of HUNTRESS.
My heart goes out to you. Whether you’re having a hard time, experiencing grief, loss, and struggling with the uncertainty or if you’ve been thriving in 2020/21....or maybe you’re feeling a bit of both and riding the waves of all of it. I hope this year has brought you some insight. Although there have been extremely difficult times, the lessons can be abundant. I hope you have found and continue to find peace and clarity in your heart. In whatever way feels best for you. 🙏🏼💐🖤
Happy Birthday, Jen! 🏹🖤💐
It’s that time of the year! We’re celebrating Jen’s birthday, the Owner and Chief Creative of Huntress Florals!
Whether you’re new around here or are a faithful Huntress follower, here are some of Jen’s favorite things, what she’s thankful for, and more. Get to know her, and then be sure to wish her a very happy birthday!
Favorite music?
“I love so many different genres!” From music that my Grandma would listen to, classic rock that holds the nostalgia of when my parents would host parties, old school hip hop and more!
“I play music in the house all the time!”
More recently, it’s calm, happy, chill vibes. Sometimes mellow, yoga-inspired music.
Favorite drink?
“Tequila. Always.” I usually make a quick margarita, sometimes a spicy one, but tequila is always involved!
I had to give up coffee last year, so now a chai tea latte is my occasional cozy morning treat.
What makes you unique?
“My Pisces ways of being!” Especially my intuitive nature, I pick up on signs and energy that many tend to overlook.
Where are you drawing inspiration from lately?
“Going inward!” Yoga, meditation, and getting inspiration from quiet and stillness. Spending time in nature, going on neighborhood walks and hikes. Seeking out the beauty in everyday moments. These pauses keep me grounded and creatively inspired.
What are you thankful for?
“Oh my gosh, so many things!” To narrow it down to one right now - having a mindful gratitude practice.
What are you most looking forward to in the coming year?
“Hopefully seeing my family and traveling again!” Getting back to some sense of new normalcy in business, I especially miss flowering weddings and events, and seeing SMILES!
Valentine's Day Fast Facts
Valentine’s Day — some love it, some hate it, some are utterly indifferent to it. Regardless of your stance, here are six facts that you might not know about the history of the February 14th holiday.
Learn something new, tell someone you love them and are grateful for them, and have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
1- February 14th hasn’t always been about cutie couples…
Some historians believe that Valentine's Day began in Rome by being a pagan fertility festival called Lupercalia. This “festival” included animal sacrifices and the whipping of women to signify their fertility. What the actual heck??!?
2- Pope Gelasius to the rescue…
In the 1300s, Roman Pope Geasius officially declared February 14th as “Valentine's Day” and started associated the day with love (not whipping and bleeding...thank you very much!), because it was believed that birds start mating season each year on the 14th of February.
3- Time to get romantic…
The very first valentine was sent in the 1400s, a poem from a French medieval duke named Charles, written to his wife. Although he was imprisoned in the Tower of London while he penned the poem, he brought the romance… One of the lines in his letter read:
"I am already sick of love, My very gentle Valentine." So sweet! And so 15-century, too 😉
4- Let’s jump ahead a few (hundred) years…
Individuals began exchanging handwritten cards to both romantic partners and friends during the 17th century. BUT it wasn’t until the 1840s until the first Valentine’s Day cards were mass-produced in the USA. The “mother of the american valentine,” also known as Esther A. Howland, is known as the one who commercialized Valentine's day cards in America. I miss being exchanging them as a kid with classmates 💌
5- These days…
Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is a widely-celebrated holiday, with nearly 55 % of Americans celebrating on February 14th each year. And, get this, nearly 6 million couples get engaged on Valentine’s Day. That’s a lot of people popping the question on the same day! ♥️
6- Depending on who you are and where you’re at…
Valentine’s Day is celebrated very differently in various parts of the world. Lots of Latin American countries call the holiday, “el día de los enamorados” (day of lovers) or “día del amor y la amistad” (day of love and friendship). How wonderful is that!
In Japan, it’s more widespread for women to give chocolates and gifts on February 14th, and exactly a month later, on March 14th, men “repay” the favor and celebrate women with gift-giving and more.
And so…
Wherever you are, and however you celebrate, here at Huntress Florals, we wish you a fun, safe, and enjoyable Valentine’s Day! May your February 14th be full of lots of love, friendship, gratitude, simple pleasures, and of course beautiful flowers, too! 💐 XOXO
Winter Ponderings
This time of year, this month of February, this season of winter, reminds us that we need to slow down… “we” being ALL of nature.
It is around this time every year, that everything goes dormant…
The animals hibernate,
The flowers tuck away,
Us humans retreat inside.
Everything slows down, everything naturally must slow down.
We take more time, we take more breaths. Everything gets cozier.
With the “new year” and the “new me, new goals, new gym, new everything” that comes with that — may we be reminded, that we are still in a pandemic, still experiencing something that is forcing us to remain mindful.
So, I encourage you to hold onto all those lessons learned from 2020. Don’t go rushing back to “normal, pre-COVID” life.
Stay intentional.
Be open to what is to come. There is uncertainty, yes, even here. But don’t rush back to the certain. Was it really serving you fully? Stay intentional, stay mindful.
Take the time to seek out clarity, and open your hands and your heart to whatever comes your way.
For me, last year, weddings and events pretty much dissolved, and I had no foresight as to when they would return.
I saw this as the universe wanting me to slow down.
And as I slowed by stroll, as I looked within, as I became more intentional with my time and energy. I remembered why I started, I remembered why I do what I do. I remembered my love for flowers. And I was determined to keep it going.
I’m not doing flowers everyday. And that’s okay. I’m opening the door to other things. I have been and am continuing to explore what it might look like to do flowers in a different capacity.
Will it look different? Yes.
Will the Huntress within me still be there? Absolutely.
I am choosing to stay positive, finding ways to stay resilient. Just like the beautiful way that the flowers stay resilient.
All of nature heals itself.
Flowers get cut down, chopped down to seemingly nothing in the winter. But it is only a matter of time before they spruce back up to be better than ever before.
Like the flower — full of beauty and resilience and grit and life — I too know that I am getting pruned, in order to again grow fully, beautifully, and better than ever before. Sending love and grace your way during this season! 💐
A Guide To Fresh Florals (1 of 3)
Here at Huntress Florals, a question we frequently get asked, is how to keep your flowers fresh and long lasting. Well — you’ve asked, and we’ve delivered!
We present to you, a guide to fresh florals, a series all about how to help your florals last a good long while.
This is part one in a three-part blog series.
While at the market, when selecting florals, look for stems and buds that aren’t damaged, moldy or wilting.
Also, tighter blooms mean they're fresher and have more time to fully open.
Be mindful not to hold a bunch of flowers over others. If you see rose petals that have brown spots, it’s usually from water dripping onto them!
Choose blooms in various shapes, sizes, and textures to enhance your design. Select a color palette that blends well together, while keeping in mind your seasonal theme and the area you plan to display them.
And MOST important, follow your heart! Pick the buds that make you smile. Flowers are already beautiful on their own. You really can't go wrong or mess this up!
Stay tuned for parts two and three of this blog series.

First, a few considerations…
As you seek resolution in your mind and heart from all that the year 2020 has been, may you find joy and anticipation for all that the future has in store.

Rest in the brilliant possibilities. Commit to doing something you may have put off in the past. Dream big. Share your light with the world. Keep curiosity and wonder alive
We often fall back upon the guiding principles of HUNTRESS, particularly during challenging times, and welcome you to harness them as well. Beauty, Grace, Strength, Resilience, Life. These traits are within you, surrounding you, and can be called upon anytime. Step forward with clear intention and watch what blossoms.
And now, the questions to reflect upon…
~ What are you most grateful for from 2020?
~ Are there any lessons that came forward for you?
~ What are you most proud of this year?
~ Is there anything that you are leaving behind?

Holiday Grounding Practice
Today, we want to guide you in a short, but impactful grounding exercise, a few moments to take just for YOU. Follow the prompts outlined below, and feel free to eventually make them your own. Enjoy!
Make yourself comfortable.
Maybe that’s a seated position in a chair or on the couch, or laying on the floor or in your bed.
Find a cozy space to be in, and a comforting position to relax into. Maybe you have a favorite blanket to wrap up in, light a candle or some incense, apply your favorite essential oil
Take a few deep breaths
These may simply begin as regular breaths at first. Bringing awareness to your breath is enough.
Eventually try to deepen your inhales and lengthen your exhales with each breath that passes through your lungs.
Soften your gaze.
As you come to a more relaxed spot, drop your eyelids ever so slightly.
Begin to journey inward, closing your eyes between reading the prompts, if that feels comfortable to you.
Check in with your senses and the space around you.
What do you see in your surrounding space?
What are you feeling around you?
What sounds do you hear?
What are you experiencing in the space that you are in right now?
Simply notice, without judgement.
Take inventory of your body.
What areas of your body can you extend awareness to?
Breathe into any areas that you feel tension. Perhaps you can release further into your seat, drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, relax your forehead.
Scan your way up and down your body until you feel more at ease.
Be intentional about feeling grounded in the present as your mind journeys.
Think back to a fond moment or even a place that brings you joy, and imagine yourself there.
What do you see? Smell? Hear?
Listen, really listen.
Feel, really feel. As if you are back in that exact place. That precise moment in time.
Perhaps you are alone or sharing the experience with someone.
What about that memory brings you joy?
Take a few more deep, slow, continuous breaths. Inhale through your nose and audibly exhale through your mouth. Let it all go.
When you're ready, begin adding slight movement back into your body, gently wiggle your feet and hands, curve your lips into a smile and slowly open your eyes.
And now, go about your day — hopefully feeling more centered, more grounded.
And if the holidays feel chaotic, or a moment becomes overwhelming — be intentional about taking a few minutes out of your day to listen to your needs, to focus on your senses, to check in with your body, and to ground yourself.
Joshua Tree | Destination Wedding Recap
The funky, weird and beautiful vibes of Joshua Tree...
A destination wedding...
Connecting with other creatives...
It was a whimsical and special time spent in Joshua Tree a couple weeks ago as Jen of Huntress designed florals for a destination wedding.
(Which, by the way, did you know that we offer destination wedding services?!)
We know that weddings and events as a whole are small right now, not happening as they were originally planned for. Given the current COVID-19 landscape, large-scale events have been adjusted to more intimate gatherings.
But here at Huntress, we choose to see the positive side of things. These intimate ceremonies are often the most memorable. We love them! And, we can’t wait to get back to even more destination weddings soon.
Destination events as a whole, are a favorite for Huntress Florals, as travel — whether near or far — is a part of our DNA. So, road-tripping to this local spot was such an incredible experience for us. There is so much magic in Joshua Tree… it’s artsy, grounding, and overall one of our favorite places to re-energize locally.
The wedding was beautiful and filled with personal touches — our favorite kind.
Here’s what Jen had to say about it:
Bride Bella is part of my friend’s family and we were fortunate to meet and spend some time during her visit to San Diego a few years ago. We’ve stayed connected since then, so I was thrilled when she decided to have her ceremony on the west coast and asked me to be part of her day!
The days leading up to the wedding were filled with close family and friends, Instagram-worthy AirBNBs, morning yoga, local vegan food, a stunning gown, a pair of cool boots, and of course the most kind and fitting fiancé.
Bella and Chris are a couple that radiates warmth and are so welcoming — their love and admiration for each other could be felt instantly. They put a lot of trust in my vision and let me do my thing with bringing their wedding florals to light…which I always appreciate, as my best work flows this way!
Bella & Chris:
the lovely bride & groom
So much goes into preparing for a destination wedding, from ordering the flowers, to remembering all of the tools and essentials, the travel, booking the right space to design and stay at, and more. Jen will elaborate on those details another time! It’s all part of the exciting adventure for us!
There’s something about expansive space that we’re all craving right about now, and Joshua Tree delivered! The warm glow of the sunshine, the nature sounds, the magical vortex energy of the location… Joshua Tree showed up and SHOWED OFF! It is an incredible place, and we got to rub shoulders with amazing people while we were there this time, too.
Meet Jessica
The wedding photographer, Jessica (pictured above), was an individual that Huntress happened upon last year, during a day of doing the “Strangers With Flowers” project. Jessica’s energy resonated with Jen, so she asked her to pose with a Huntress bouquet. After snapping her picture for Strangers With Flowers, they easily struck up a conversation. Turns out Jessica is an incredible photographer that moved from LA, and is currently living in Joshua Tree.
So, when the bride, Bella asked for local photographer recommendations, Jessica immediately came to mind and Jen HAD to connect the two. Bella offers Yoga online so she knew their soulful energies would mesh! And get this, turns out the bride and photographer went to the same college — wild! Talk about small world connections!
We live for these kind of heartwarming universal nods — when people and details come together and sync up almost effortlessly. When inspiring, creative people gather together, things come together so seamlessly! You never know when a random run-in could be the start of something amazing — a connection, a friendship, a collaboration, and experiences and memories to share.
So…
Here’s to traveling, even locally.
Here’s to getting back into florals specifically for destination events.
Here’s to Joshua Tree and its unique, expansive space.
Here’s to creative people making magic together.
Here’s to the universe connecting us humans in unexpected, beautiful ways.

A few of our Favorite Gratitude Quotes 🍂
Today, we’re sharing a few of our favorite quotes on thankfulness to keep the momentum of a grateful spirit forging ahead, into the weekend.
Which quote resonates most for you? Comment below!
1. “Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.” (Amy Collette)
We love this quote, because we’ve experienced firsthand how powerful gratitude is. It really does spark happiness in your heart. And that joy? It’s quite contagious when you start within and then expand it out toward others and into the world ✨
2. “A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.” (Cicero)
So much of life, and so many virtues in this world, stem from gratitude. A thankful heart truly is a great starting point to live a rich, beautiful, full life 🖤
3. “I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.” (Brene Brown)
This quote by Brene Brown is so simple and profound. Paying attention and practicing gratitude — these two, things can cause loads of contentment. Even the mundane moments of life can be beautiful. Seek the beauty in the every day 💐
4. “Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.” (Alphonse Karr)
We saved the best for last! This quote is one of our all-time favorites. Thankfulness and perspective go together. Sometimes all we need is to choose to see the glass as half full, or, in this case, the thorns with the roses. What a glorious way to view life 🌹
Three of My Favorite Fall Fleurs
Autumn is in full swing!
To celebrate the cooler temps and cozier vibes, I rounded up three of my favorite fall fleurs for you to marvel at alongside me. They’re almost as pretty as the candy-colored sunsets San Diego has been giving us lately!
1. French Marigolds
These tiny beauties seriously give me all the childhood nostalgia and retro feels. They’re extremely hearty and pack tons of character in their tiny blooms. They smell absolutely divine too!
2. Celosia
Funky and bright with lots of texture, celosia are fun flowers to include in fall bouquets. These gorgeous weirdos easily add an unexpected pop into any arrangement. We live for that in our signature HUNTRESS style.
3. Nandina
This type of greenery with their red berries scream autumn vibes, especially when the leaves resemble fall colors. It is whimsical and beautiful, and the berry stems dry well too, so you can easily repurpose them for later designs as well! We love extending the lifecycle of flowers through the seasons when possible.
What are your favorite fall blooms? Leave them in a comment below!🍂

Día de los Muertos | 2020
Day of the Dead
An honoring of those who have passed.
Day of the Dead is my most favorite and meaningful celebration.
The theme may be death, but the purpose is remembrance and celebration. Today, during the Day of the Dead — may you, alongside me — honor those who have passed.
Remember their stories. Remember their love. Remember their dreams. Remember their lives.
Let’s express love and gratitude for the times that we were able to share with our loved ones!
There is no loss without love. I’ll gratefully surrender to both.
All Hallows Eve | 2020
Happy Halloween
Surrender to the mystery
The leaves have turned from their vibrant oranges and yellows and reds, and are falling back to the earth. The warm apple cider smells divine. The air is chilled, the fireplace is roaring, the pumpkins are carved and creative costumes are abundant. Childhood nostalgia settles in.
Even if you don’t live in a part of the world that experiences all of these autumn happenings — the seasons are still changing, it’s a time to embrace the darkness, go inward, and reflect. We want to wish you a safe and memorable Halloween!
It may be different this year in some respects, but we still hope you get indulge in the traditions that make you feel at home in the spirit of the holiday.
Remember to also bask in the full moon light tonight!
