Thank you.

Since this is probably one of our first moments together, it feels like the perfect time to introduce you to one of my favorite flowers: hydrangeas.

In Victorian times, hydrangeas symbolized boasting—but I promise, this isn’t about bragging. Well, maybe just a little—because I couldn’t be more excited to connect with you.

Below is a portrait from the Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900–1939 exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, and one of my floral arrangements inspired by it.

Looking forward to creating something beautiful together!
