florist holding bright color bouquet flowers

Sam Schaible, Owner & Lead Designer


I’m a New Jersey girl living in Wilmington, NC with my fiancé Tyler, and kitties, Koda and Homer. I was inspired to be a florist by my grandmother, who was a florist for many years. I’ve always loved plants and believe with all my heart that flowers truly spread joy!


My earliest memory of flowers goes back to being 6 years old, playing “wedding” with my sister and our neighbor. Every wedding needs flowers, so we picked all of our other neighbor’s flowers from her garden… We were too cute to be scolded much for it then, but I’m eternally sorry for ruining her garden.

Fun Facts

I’ve traveled to 30+ countries and met Tyler in Malaysia on Remote Year.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University where I studied fashion design.

My go-to “coffee” order:  an iced mocha latte with almond milk!
