I’ve always believed the best spaces—and the best celebrations—should feel like someone’s story.

I’m Tara, the designer and owner behind Petals & Parties.

I create floral designs and styled environments for weddings, elopements, celebrations, and the everyday spaces that deserve a little more attention. My work is rooted in a love of flowers, texture, unexpected details, and the art of putting beautiful things together in a way that feels effortless—but never ordinary.

I’m drawn to designs that have a sense of movement and personality. A little wild. A little romantic. Sometimes moody. Sometimes playful. Always intentional.

Petals & Parties began with my love of creating beautiful things for people to gather around. Over time, that naturally grew beyond flowers and into the spaces themselves—how a table feels, how a porch changes with the season, how candlelight transforms a room, or how one unexpected detail can make an entire celebration feel like you.

That’s also where Mantle & Meadow comes in—my seasonal and residential design house, where I bring that same approach home.

Whether I’m designing flowers for an intimate mountain elopement, creating an immersive wedding installation, or refreshing a collection of outdoor containers for a new season, I want the finished design to feel personal, collected, and a little unexpected.

I don’t believe in designing for everyone. I believe in designing for you.

If you have a vision, a half-formed idea, or simply know that you want something that doesn’t look like everything else, I’d love to hear about it.

Let’s make something beautiful.
