Be honest, how are you feeling today on this Inauguration Day 2021? It’s also my dad’s 69th birthday...so it’s a full day of socially distant celebrating for me! #newbeginnings #cheers

To say I’m excited to get these would be an understatement! I really hope my bad thumb turns green and these seeds will bloom! Now if y’all have tips to keep these persistent squirrels out of my micro garden that keep digging up holes in my pots lmk! I’ve tried forks(!), crushed red pepper, garlic powder...I’m running out of natural and harmless ways to keep them away 🙅🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The last four photos are from the @floretflower website - check it out!

Hi all, happy 2021! My name is Thao, owner and designer of Flowers by Thao (surprised? 😉) a boutique floral studio based in the Bay Area.

I am a proud daughter of two refugees from Vietnam. It is in my blood to persevere in times of adversity and continue to reach for a better life for me and my community. I guess that’s why I was crazy enough to open this business in March, amongst the challenges of the pandemic and why “blooming joy everywhere we go wildly and unapologetically” is our mission statement.

Big thanks to @projectwonderlust for capturing the fun I have with flowers 💁🏻‍♀️!

Sneak peak of today’s wedding. Timeless.

I’m so excited for this couple to tie the knot!!! Stay tuned on how they used flower wands for their flower girls and single roses for their bridesmaids. Talk about making minimalism work! I love working with couples and their visions.

And we’re back to our regular programming! I got a significant amount of interest for the Project Joy mini arrangements and had to close orders a little earlier than expected. I am floored with the love and joy you all want to spread. What a beautiful way to prepare for the new year. Sending you all my best!

A few months ago, I had to drop the everyday deliveries arm of my business and focus solely on event floral design which was a very hard business decision for me to make, partially explaining the rather quiet IG feed. Like all businesses, COVID has presented challenges that have caused this entrepreneur confusion, heartache, feelings of defeat, and...never ending hope...for all of us.

I LOVE designing for events AND I really miss the everyday deliveries and hope that I can start that back up again to bring joy daily to the Bay Area. In the meantime, I’m preparing to launch more IG content tailored to events so stay tuned!!!

Because I’m missing all my fellow joy spreaders...I may squeeze in a flash sale of mini arrangements before the end of the year! 😉 Shoot me a message if you’re interested!

#willmodifyplansadmistpandemics #hereforyou 😅😁

I love it when the bride decides to walk down the aisle with mom and dad! Here we added lots of texture and a whimsical feel to her bridal bouquet. 😍

I am so thankful for @gracehopeflowers for opening

I am so thankful for @gracehopeflowers for opening up her flower farm to the public this past Saturday because it gave me the opportunity to share a side of me (and my business goals of sustainability and desire to support our local economy) with my loved ones ...and they had a blast! We got to bring home any flowers we wanted from the farm and play with the baby goats 😍.

Subscribe to our newsletter and keep following along here because she mentioned she’ll be doing the same thing in the Spring. I’ll make sure to spread the word so you all can see where we get some of our local flowers from and join in on the fun!
