  • Welcome!

    I'm Lisa, owner and designer here at Bloomsberry Floral. While my background is in graphic design, I fell in love with floral design and have been creating floral arrangements for weddings and events for well over 10 years. It has been a great accomplishment to see my work published in Oregon Bride, Portland Bride and Groom, Style Me Pretty, Elizabeth Ann Designs and others. Still today, the thing I enjoy the most is seeing the smiles that flowers bring to people.

    I hope you will stay a while and enjoy the site. Have a look at my current and past blog posts, feel free to browse my portfolio for inspiration, or leave a comment; I would enjoy hearing from you.

Ladies Night Out

This post should have been written quite a long time ago. But in typical bad fashion, I’m always late to a party. I rented studio/house space with a incredible group of house mates. One of which is the very talented Christy of Studio Christy. She created a ladies night out party. Ladies only, to be able to come without kids, drink a little drink, eat a little sweets and check out some goods for yourself. She wanted every guest to be able to walk away with a little something to remember the night and came up with cute little succulent planters – make your own to be exact. Such fun!

I love the use of the old trunks and suit cases. The whole party had a rustic, natural vibe.

Beautiful photos by Studio Christy. Thanks for letting us be a part of your super cool ladies night out. If your in the market for family, newborn or any kind of portraits, check out her site and call her.  She makes you feel at ease and her work is stunning. I would know, she has taken the only photos my family has ever had done – sad I know. But for 2 people who dislike having their photos taken and  a 7 year old diva - she made us look super good.

Beautiful, Bright Pink and Green Wedding

The beginning of July was a busy time for us. We started off with Natalie and Admir’s gorgeous wedding at The Marshall House on officers row. Jennie with Magnifique Weddings &  Events was the coordinator of the affair and she did an amazing job. Paul Rich took the stunning photos below.

The photo below is my own and not quite the caliber of Paul Rich’s. I try.

To check out more pics from Natalie and Admir’s wedding, head on over to Paul Rich Studio’s blog.  Congratulations to Natalie and Admir – Thank you for letting us create a beautiful day.

Beautiful Wedding, Beautiful Love.

When I first met Kristen and Cassidy I could feel their generous love and spirit for each other. They were getting married at Kristens childhood home – a place where so many memories have already happened for her. But I would think getting married in the backyard where I played as a child would be a full circle moment – hopefully it was for them. I also have to say that, on the day of the wedding, even with so much going on, the love and faith of this couple, this family and their community of friends was so intense that I was glad to be a small part of it all. These amazing and I truly mean amazing photos were taken by Bethany F Photography. This is just a sample of some of the beauty she captured that day and I thank her for such beautiful photos of my work.

I love the yellow and gray colors, the sunflowers, dahlias and the pure joy of this wedding.  If you want to see more from Bethany, head on over to her blog and see the full post on Kristen and Cassidy. Thank you Kirsten and Cassidy for letting us create a beautiful day for you – we wish you forever love.

Summer is over…

Summer is officially over.  Beautiful morning sunrises like the one above are few and far gone. It also marks the end of a great wedding season for us and I wanted to say THANK YOU to everybody who we had a chance to work with this season. I’ll be posting photos from some of our favs throughout the winter and in-between wedding shows.  So until we see the sun peek through the clouds, we will welcome back the rain and a short break.

Hair Flowers

It’s been a long time since i posted anything…and I always feel like I’m saying that. But again, like always, i’m going to work harder on posting.

It’s been a great summer for us and having a bit of down time has given me time to think about what I’ve seen a lot of  this wedding season. Fresh floral hair pieces are a trend that is gaining momentum and they are not just for little girls anymore! Check out some of our work below.

Brides are getting more daring too. If ever there was a day where you can go big and bold this would be the day. Hey, if you can’t go big on your big day when can you?

But if your not a super bold kind of gal, a colorful single blossom is just as gorgeous.

A lot of flowers for hair that we’re asked to do is for flower girls, but that does not mean they all have to look the same. These headbands are fun and have lots of texture to them. My daughter thought so too.

Head wreaths are fun and little girls sure do love them.

It’s always fun to make something different for a bride or to dress up a little girl with a pretty head wreath, but keep in mind it’s always a good idea to ask your florist what would work best for hair florals and any tips they might have to keep them looking fresh.
