GET TO KNOW NATALIE Bâ—†

If flowers are a universal language that speaks to us in beauty, arranging is Natalie's fluency. Her arrangements ignite the atmosphere and make spaces come alive, so that we might catch a spark and pause, perhaps for the first time all day, to enjoy what surrounds us. For Natalie, arranging is the art of bringing beauty to ordinary places in pursuit of a higher vision of life comprised of moments worth a stop to smell the roses.

Inspired by the meaning of shared experiences, Natalie's unique floral practice finds rhythm around community, drawn like gravity, to the sacred circles where we gather. Together, at the center.

FLOWERS ARE THE MEDIUM, 

ARRANGING IS THE RITUAL.

TOWARDS A VISION OF EVERYDAY BEAUTY

My floral practice is rooted in the joy of shared experiences. As an arranger, I shape each design in free-flowing conversation with its surroundings. I want to invent something that tells a story, that makes the space come alive. Because it's never just about creating a flower arrangement, but arranging flowers to create atmosphere & inspire connection.

Flowers are a medium through which we can make contact with our inner world & translate vision into form. Vision is the spirit that lives in each of my designs & the thread that connects each of my arranging philosophies. Arranging connects us to the most precious aspect of our humanness, our desire to make everyday beauty synonymous with daily life. Arranging is a ritual, spoken in flowers, a universal language that connects & inspires us all.

A PERSPECTIVE IN EVOLUTION

But as history would have it, my studies only further emboldened me to explore arranging more deeply than ever before, ultimately leading to the discovery of my unique take on floral design. 

My approach is a culmination of knowledge & experience that combines design principles adapted from architecture, fashion, art & nature with free-flowing inspiration from my surroundings. My perspective, like my work, is always evolving.

A HISTORY OF FLORAL FLUENCY

I've been enchanted by flowers for as long as I can remember. My earliest memory is laying in the garden, but this story begins long before that.

My grandmother was a florist in San Francisco in the 1930s, running flower shops in the lobbies of The Fairmont & Mark Hopkins hotels. She & my mother, a talented garden designer, practiced arranging like a second language; a way of saying that I adopted at an early age.

At age six, I hosted my first arranging party & I've been hosting flower workshops ever since. But I wasn't always certain I'd follow in my family's floral tradition. In fact, when I left for college to study industrial design, I was certain of a future where flowers would be a side note.
