meet indigo james ⟡

Indigo James is a boutique experience company, that produces high-touch events worldwide with a metaphysical edge. We offer full event production services based in LA, Colorado, and globally. Additionally, Indigo James offers floral design, community space and crystal curation experiences for events, homes, businesses and individuals.

For both event design and crystal curation experiences, we source our crystals from artisanal and family owned mines. It is important that we source goods we feature from the most integral sellers possible across all services and products offered, wherever we can.

To us, infusing crystal and floral energy within a physical event or space transforms the experience to a level of magic that is deeply felt, and barely seen. We have received testimonials that our events ‘feel’ incredible, the energy of the space is amazing, and guests tend to stay hours longer than they may have normally.

Infusing events and spaces with high vibrational energy, crystals and florals has allowed us to realize that there is more than simply creating a beautiful event or space. An event or space can look beautiful, but Indigo James captures how that can feel. ⁺₊⋆

mythos of Pisces ♓︎

“the water barer dissolves into the ocean of eternal life. as a mutable water sign, Pisces unites all previous experience to embrace the whole of life and complete the circle. its transcendent vision marks the end of the Zodiac and the start of the next turn of the wheel.”

Pisces is a feminine sign that is ruled by expansive Jupiter and dreamy Neptune, both masculine celestial bodies.

in all of her watery fluidity, she is our connection to source, our dreams, our intuition and internal vision.

in her lowest vibration, she can be illusory and delusional. there can be a challenge with taking the divine that’s been channeled and putting it into action. there can also be difficulty knowing when you end and someone or something else begins.

Pisces is the watery abyss of the primordial Mother that all life emerges from and returns back to.

the symbol of Pisces with two outward facing curves connected at the middle, which also represents two connected fish, speaks to its dualistic energy that connects spirit to human nature.

it also represents the yoni, the entrance to the womb, where all life is birthed from, and the afterlife.

the earliest depiction of Pisces are petroglyphs carved in to rocks at Ratnagiri in India that dates back to 10,000 BCE. this civilization used fish to symbolize the divine source of life. fish also represented the souls of ancestors, further connecting Pisces to the afterlife.

in Sumer, Pisces was depicted as a bird and a fish connected by a cord. the bird was called the swallow and it followed the line of the ecliptic while the fish swam upwards. together they were known as “the tails”.

mythos of Aquarius ♒︎

we take the structures and success that we created in Capricorn and apply it to a beautiful vision of the future.

Aquarius in all of its weirdness is a fixed air sign which is a contradiction in itself. how can air be immovable?

they are open to the most otherworldly ideas, however tend to be fixated on those ideas and beliefs.

they are humanitarian and want to serve the greatest good of all, but first must learn to release their grip on utopian ideals that hinder their ability to be of the highest service.

in further contradiction, it is ruled by structure and security boasting Saturn as well as revolutionizing and freedom loving Uranus.

known for being dissociated from their bodies and earthly lives, aquarius journeys to lovingly accept all of their humanness and ground into beingness so that they may be truly effective.

they bridge the structures, discipline and achievements of Capricorn to the fluid, ever trusting and intangibility of Pisces.

Aquarius does this through admission to human nature and devotion to all that is, even the less than ideal aspects.

so even though this sign is touted as being focused on the whole, it actually accomplishes this through focus on the self.

through this quest of coming to appreciate life incarnate, it finds its highest calling for all.

it is a masculine sign with Leo at its polar axis, both sharing a love of collaboration, individuality and creativity.

water and vases are typically correlated to goddesses. originally, Aquarius was probably a goddess figure who had been transferred to a male god during the patriarchal sky god take over.

Aquarius is an air sign that’s iconography and mythology are swimming in fluidity.

but it’s not water that flows from Aquarius’ urn, it’s ether.

“but these waters aren’t H2O; they’re the waters of the firmament – the ‘waters above.’ In other words: ether – also known as prana, chi or spirit. Prana is the sea of energy that creates all forms, and the life-force and breath that animates the body.”

earth medicine for Aquarius ♒︎

passionflower • pasiflora

as one of the most unique vining flowers, passionflower feels like the perfect match for Aquarius energy.

passionflower is a nervine which induces a super relaxing state that can reduce anxiety and inspire deep rest which is a lovely balance for Aquarius’ fast moving and electric energy.

it offers a gentle reminder that in order to have success in the visions we seek to manifest, that we must have moments of r+r.

#earthmedicine #aquarius #passionflower

the vase of Aquarius 𐃡⋆

Aquarius brings us the ethers of celestial gnosis, pouring out of its vase the flood of life giving consciousness from the heavens to the masses.

although it’s energy is idealistic, potentially avoidant and often times disassociated from reality; when the gnosis that flows through it is applied with grounded, thoughtful and consistent action, a vision of a better future for all is so possible.

so let’s pour our sacred waters from our vases over all of humanity and build our heaven on Earth.

mythos of Capricorn ♑︎

we land from our visionary flight through wise Sagittarius onto the mountainous terrain of the sure footed goat, with imminent success in our summit.

“as a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn initiates practical action to make the dreams of Sagittarius real.”

Capricorn is a feminine sign with its polar axis being in Cancer, the ocean mother goddess.

although it’s an earth sign, it is intrinsically connected to watery wisdom.

here we ground spiritual wisdom attained, and with a feminine flair we apply it to practical matters.

Capricorn has learned how we can create success, for the good of all, she does the work to get there in a Saturn ruled fashion.

true to goat lore, there is an untamed essence here.

wild instinct and self mastery become one.

responsible and wise with a humorous feel.

goats were one of the first animals to be domesticated about 10,000 years ago.

it’s ancestor, the Ibex, is seen in cave paintings dating as far back as 32,000 BCE in Chauvet.

they are often seen depicted with plants such as the tree of life and celestial images.

“images of goats and ibexes with trees were connected to the ancient goddess cults of the Neolithic and were symbols of fertility and rebirth. their curved horns resemble the crescent moon linked to the waxing and waning of the cycles of life and death.”

in Sumerian mythology, we encounter myths of the sea-goat for the first time.

and in Babylon, Capricorn was called “Suhur-Maš-Ku, which means ‘the crested goat-fish.’

in Egypt, we find another connection between goats, water and the creation of life in the goat-headed god Khnum who was the source of the Nile.

in Greece, the constellation of Capricorn was identified as Pricus, father of the sea-goats.

Pricus was an immortal being created by Kronos.

he lived in the sea and ruled over time.

and there’s Pan, the Greek god of the wild who had the legs and horns of a goat.

“Capricorn is a paradoxical sign with rulers and symbols that are also dual in nature. this creates a complex picture with a relationship between the wildness of instinct and the structure necessary for consciousness and civilisation.”

serpentine 𓆙

x3Si2O5(oh)4 • phyllosilicate • kundalini

serpentine allows us to shed old skins that no longer serve us with unconditional love as the catalyzing force.

it allows us ease and ability in times of transformation, reassuring us that what’s on the other side of the change we’re experiencing is so much better than we can imagine.

it awakens and uncoils our kundalini energy which sits at the base of our spine.

it then travels up our spine and chakras, harmonizing and optimizing each one.

it especially activates our pineal gland and allows for the enhancement of our psychic and intuitive abilities, allowing for a kundalini awakening, greatly expanding our consciousness.

serpentine also allows us to let go of any stored emotions and heal any wounds that may holding us back from our highest expression.

it is powerfully connected to our heart, teaching us that leading our lives with love is the only real option.

ways to honor the winter solstice ❆

⋆ light a candle in gratitude for the increasing sunlight

Yule marks the darkest night of the year but also the rebirth and rising of the suns light.

we’ve reached the midway point of winter and are steadily on our way to the astrological and natural new year of the northern hemisphere.

⋆ reflect on the last year through journaling and looking through your camera roll

it’s helpful to notice and honor the changes that have occurred in the years passing.

you can mentally reflect on what has birthed itself and matured in your life since Aries season or last December, journal about it or even look through your camera roll as a helpful practice.

⋆ write quarterly intentions and goals for the vernal equinox, summer solstice and autumnal equinox

winter is a time of rest, reflection and gestation as we wait to birth our creative force in the vernal equinox.

and with Capricorn season upon us, this moment lends itself beautifully to planning for what we want to do when the next turn of the wheel begins in Aries.

astrological planners like from @magic_of_i or working with practitioners like @astralpharaoh or @anna.alati can assist us with this journey.

⋆ rest and recover

against the natural energies of this season, societal pressure to participate in rush culture, consumerism and full social calendars can deplete our energy stores and affect our energetic success and ease in the year to come.

we love the traditions and moments shared with family, however, there are so many ways to create and honor traditions that don’t force us to over perform and exhaust ourselves.

honoring and making time for family throughout the entire year can ease the need to over extend ourselves during the winter season.

planning for meaningful and thoughtful gift shopping, or even making stores of homemade ones throughout the year, can take so much off of your plate when the holy days arrive.

whatever your plans or lack thereof end up being, make space however you can in between work, errands and events for stillness and slowness for you and your family.

herbs for Capricorn ♑︎

sage • salvia officinalis

wise, disciplined and grounded on earth; Capricorn brings us the stamina and courage to do the work before us.

sage, with its own wisdom and energetically cleansing medicine, makes for a lovely match with this season.

it’s clears away the dense energy that’s occupying the space of our dreams and goals.

sage is so versatile and can be incorporated by smudging it, cooking with it or using it in a salve. it also has many varieties offering different flavors of this magical herb ₊ ⊹

when sourcing white sage, be sure to opt for sustainably grown and *not* wild harvested sage. because of over harvesting, there’s been a decrease in its wild populations and destruction of its indigenous habitats.

mythos of Sagittarius ♐︎

we’ve risen from the watery depths- of
transformation in Scorpio and prepare to take light like the burning phoenix.

directed and focused on making our mark true, we move forward on our quest of higher knowledge and freedom with a playful nature.

during our journey on the wheel, we’ve grown from the initiatory baby stage in Aries to the wise adult stage in Sagittarius.

we’ve reached our home stretch in the astrological year.

we’ve learned, matured and have a clear vision of What our goals are.

the symbol for this sign is the centaur.

half horse and half man, he embodies the bridge between primal animal instincts and the higher mind.

he is a bridge between heaven and earth.

centaurs were known for their wild parties and gifts of prophecy.

Sagittarius is deeply connected to horse medicine.

they embody wid and free energy, movement, travel, power and protection
codes.

they are revered by shamans as sacred vehicles for traveling between worlds and the journey of the soul after death.

“wild horses appeared in Paleolithic art as far back as 32,000 BCE and are featured prominently in the Chauvet cave in France.”

in almost every single ancient culture, there is horse lore and symbolism.

but there is one horse specifically that ties to Sag.

Chiron was not depicted as a savage like most centaurs are.

he was civilized and came from semi regal parentage.

he became the king of all centaurs and was a renowned trainer of heroes like Hercules.

he was also extremely knowledgeable in the healing arts.

in astrology he is known as the wounded healer who turns his wounds into a healing elixir, as we must do in our charts wherever he is placed.

in mythology he is accidentally wounded by Hercules by an arrow dipped in the Hydra’s venom.

he was in agony and could not live in pain any longer but because he was immortal, he also couldn’t die.

Prometheus offered him his mortal life in exchange so that Chiron could ascend to the heavens and be exalted for the rest of eternity.

malachite ⋆⁺₊⋆

Cu2CO3(OH)2 • carbonate mineral • metamorphosis

malachite is a mineral that supports us in our efforts of transformation, releasing what no longer serves us and protection of all forms.

its mesmerizing green swirling hues remind us of natures life giving energy of constant change and growth.

it is connected to the heart space and as such is a love stone but unlike rose quartz or rhodonite, malachite offers us more of a tough love akin to the love of a parent or family member.

it is honest and realistic with us about the changes we must make in order to accomplish our goals or dreams.

that same straightforward energy can also serve us in the realm of financial matters by reminding us of the honesty, discipline and consistency that’s required to accrue prosperity.

earth medicine for Scorpio ♏︎

garlic • allium sativum

Scorpio is known for its intense nature, emotional depth and its intrinsic relationship to death and rebirth.

garlic parallels a lot of these qualities with its pungent taste, its ability to kill bacteria, virus’ and parasites in our body and its support of the cardiovascular system.

it’s been used by many cultures for many thousands of years for culinary, medicinal and spiritual purposes.

our ancestors carried garlic to ward off evil eyes and placed bulbs around the house to ward off spirits and entities.

there are endless ways to work with this medicine 𓆙

you can put a bulb on your altar as a protective amulet. if you’re feeling creative you can braid some bulbs together and hang them in your kitchen to be used as desired. or making a garlic dip to eat with some bread or a medicinal garlic and olive oil concoction are also great options x

mythos of Scorpio ♏︎

this super intuitive, passionate and determined sign effortlessly swims through the waters of the occult and mysterious.

Scorpio not only welcomes, the beautiful darkness of life, she shines in it.
through the depth and transformation that she offers us, we rise again and soar.

this season marks a moment in the year where darkness, death and transformation are celebrated.

the veil between worlds is thin.

we honor our ancestors.

Scorpio gives us permission to accept darkness as a vital part of life that brings to light all that we must transmute.

scorpions, dragons, serpents, gorgons and birds are all symbolic creatures we find in the Scorpio myths.

serpentine energy relates to creation and destruction where as the dual symbolism of Scorpio with the scorpion and the eagle represents those two levels of life.

in Greek myth, the scorpion constellation is responsible for killing Orion the great hunter.

there are a couple of versions of the story but the common thread is that he was bothering goddesses and being arrogant so they set the scorpion on him.

“in Sumer, Scorpio was called Mul Gir-Tab, ‘sharp weapon’ or ‘burning sting.’ their underworld was guarded by scorpion people who were half human and half scorpion. they stood guard at the gate of the sun where it descended every night into darkness.”

in Egypt, there was Serket who was a scorpion goddess that guarded the gates to the underworld.

she was both protective and destructive and held the knowledge of poisons, venoms, antidotes and guarded jars of organs of the deceased.

Osiris was the god of the underworld and consort/brother to Isis, the queen of heaven.

he was killed by his twin brother Set who spread pieces of his body all over Egypt.

Isis put him back together and they conceived Horus, whom Osiris then became.

“Set represents the powers of darkness and destruction. without his actions Osiris wouldn’t have been able to be a god of fertility and renewal. they are portrayed as twins because they’re two aspects of the same force working to achieve immortality.”

continued in comments 𓆙⋆

we wade through these heavy scorpionic waters while the veil between worlds is thin. we’re facing our shadows (from this life and the ones before), learning how to move through our own darkness and drawing lines in the sand.

smoky quartz is one of the very best crystalline energy transmuters available to us and can be a game changer for cosmically intense moments like this.

add this mineral babe to your practice this week to help carry you through in the highest .𖥔 ݁ ˖

smoky quartz will clear the fog from your mind so you can see clearly. it powerfully instills directed focus, determination, drive and transformation. it is one of the best crystals for protecting from or transmuting and clearing dense energies. it acts as the crystal form of smudging your field. it’s connected to the root and sacral chakras and facilitates deep healing in these centers. smoky quartz offers us the courage to stop perpetuating patterns that block us from actualizing our highest experience and the discipline required to make our dreams into a reality.

herbs for Scorpio season ♏︎

turkey tail • trametes versicolor

turkey tail mushrooms are a polypore that grow on decaying deciduous and coniferous trees in the forest.

it is one of nature’s most potent antivirals, supports digestive health and a healthy gut microbiome.

all mushrooms must compete with their environment in order to successfully grow, representing the resiliency, determination and power that Scorpios are known for.

growing on decaying trees, they are also intimately connected with death and rebirth like Scorpio.

its gut healing benefits also strengthen and support a healthy intuition.

it’s turkey tail season in North America which means it’s a great time to go foraging for some. you can enjoy the beauty of this medicine by making a tea, taking it in tincture form or in a capsule. it also makes a beautiful addition to any altar space 𓆙

#turkeytail #mushiesforscorpio

we say goodbye to Libra season, giving gratitude for all of the relational healing we experienced and transition into the watery depths of Scorpio.

before we take the deep dive let’s take a moment to add more beauty in our home space.

maybe that looks like adding some sparkle to your altar space, giving your home a design refresh, energetic cleansing, or simply getting some flowers to honor this moment.

adding this creative touch now can make swimming through the abysmal waters of Scorpio a little bit lighter.

mythos of Libra ♎︎

Libra season marks the Autumnal Equinox and the balance of the year.

it’s also the halfway point through the zodiac wheel and in Babylonian myth was called the
“balance of heaven”.

Venus ruled Librans seek to find love, harmony and beauty in all things.

this sign is also about judgements and the law of man, making choices and being aware of the consequences of those choices.

the focus is always on conflict resolution and making the ultimate choice of love; which can at times be the hardest choice to make.

Libra shows us that creating harmony does not inherently mean we must appease situations but can instead mean that we instill firm boundaries for ourselves or others in order to create a state of equanimity.

we find a middle way between opposing forces.

in Babylonian astrology, Libra was called Zibanu which means “the scales” or “balance of heaven”.

the scales were ruled by Utu the sun god of justice and truth.

when the sun would rise in Libra on the Autumnal Equinox, it was called the weighing place.

Utu also presided over law and order and harmonious living in society.

“as the sun, he represented the power of light to reveal the truth by shining into the darkness.”

he was depicted holding a serrated saw that he used to cut through mountains.

“the sun god’s saw and scales can still be recognised in the modern figure of justice that stands above the British law courts. she is blindfolded to symbolise her impartiality, and holds the sword of punishment in one hand and the scales of judgement in the other.”

in Egypt, there is the religious and societal principle of Maat or cosmic order.

Maat was the supreme law that had to be balanced against Isfet or chaos.

Maat oversaw all aspects of life from the physical world to each individual’s personal conduct.

“Maat was the goddess and personification of truth and justice. she regulated the stars and the seasons and stood for balance, harmony, morality and law. daily life was lived in accordance with her ethical codes in order to maintain cosmic & social harmony.”

herbs for Libra season ♎︎

elderflower • sambucus

elderflowers are the flowering aspect of the elderberry shrub. the flower is also medicinal and is used to create all kinds of beautiful culinary experiences.

they are beautiful, aromatic and delicious which agrees with Venus ruled Libra’s pleasure seeking nature.

elderflowers are anti-inflammatory and help to balance and drain excess or unwanted fluids in the body. again, paralleling some of Libra’s characteristics of creating balance and easing inflammatory situations.

incorporate this flower into your life during this season by creating an elderflower cordial, syrup or infusion. for those with a sweet tooth like us, you can make elderflower and honey muffins ✶

#elderflower #herbsforlibra

light and darkness find balance again before the days start to wane once more.

here are a few ways you can honor this moment ࿊

• reflect on the last three months through journaling

• open the windows and doors, smudge every room. cinnamon, thyme or cedar are lovely choices.

• refresh your altar

• make a simmer pot with clove, blood orange, star anise + cinnamon or any other seasonal goods

• do a releasing fire ceremony, writing down anything you no longer want to carry + burning it

• honor the harvest by going to pick seasonal produce or mushroom foraging

•••

this week is the pagan holy day called Mabon. it has been celebrated as a harvest celebration for thousands of years dating back to the Neolithic age.

Mabon marks a turn in the Wheel of the Year. in the northern hemisphere, we move from summer to autumn.

this is an opportunity to give thanks for the seasons bounty and release anything that no longer serves us as we move inward towards the winter solstice.

traditionally, we honored fertility and harvest goddesses during this time of year. we offered these goddesses like Demeter, Autumnus (where the word autumn arose from) and Braciaca gratitude for their blessed bounties.

historically, these bounties would sustain us through the winter months. so honoring these dieties was of major importance to our ancestors.

in paganism, Mabon is considered the original Thanksgiving. which makes sense with this being the time of year of harvest and giving gratitude.

but this day and time of year where we find light and darkness in equal balance is also a beautiful time to reflect on the last three months and shed anything that we don’t want to carry into the next three.

taking even just a few moments today to express your gratitude and release something is a powerful way to show reverence for this sacred moment in time.

#Mabon #autumnalequinox

mythos of Virgo ♍︎

we take the creative fire from Leo and make something tangible with it in Virgo.

those born under this sign bless us with their efficient and thoughtful energy.

they are skillful planners and can pretty much master any crafts they pursue in life.

they can be fixated on perfection but when they accept the perfectly imperfect order of things, they become balanced and liberated.

this process of alchemization speaks to the continuation of the zodiacal journey which leads us into Libra.

virgo is the least earth bound earth sign because she is mutable earth.

she sits across from Pisces on the wheel and like all signs that sit across from eachother, they share many of the same boundless and fluid energies.

virgo guides us through our transition into Autumn.

she is the virgin mother goddess associated with harvest season.

she carries grain and fire and is the alchemy of paradox.

in Greek myth, most believe Virgo is Astraea, the star goddess of justice.

others believe her to be Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and harvest.

virginity was taken from its true meaning and turned into the idea of chastity to serve a patriarchal world.

virginity actually means self possessed and was originally applied to unmarried women.

a virgin is a free and sovereign being who follows their own path in life.

Astraea is the starry one or the star maiden who governs justice and is the protector of innocence.

she represents natural law, upholds the balance of the seasons and teaches us to live in accordance with nature.

she is said to be the last of the gods to roam the earth.

Demeter is the goddess of harvest, sacred laws and the cycle of life and death.

her name means mother god, de-mater.

she is the mother of Persephone, the goddess of spring, and some say they are two parts of the same goddess.

she also oversaw the Eleusinian mysteries.

from Sumer to Egypt to Greece- she is both the virgin and the harlot, she is fertility and she is death, she is the mother and she is the maiden.

she is contradictory and she is concurrent.

Virgo is about synthesizing polar energies and mastering the full spectrum.

KAlSi3O8 • tectosilicate • adaptogenic

this super ancient mineral has a striking resemblance to labradorite and is also referred to as black moonstone.

it is the adaptogen of the mineral kingdom, offering us increased adaptability.

called the “stone of transformation”, it offers us the ability to respond to changes that occur in our lives in a rational, clear and balanced manner.

it allows us to accept change and even invite the blessings that come with it.

larvikite gives us the gifts of groundedness, protection, deep presence, calm and a strong connection to earth.

it also allows us to see ourselves through the eyes of our higher self and strengthens our inner vision.

if you experience any level of anxiousness or tend to be impulsive or overreactive, this mineral can be a wonderful tool to support you.

the space between the summer heat and the autumnal equinox is an opportunity to reflect on all the realms of your life.

your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects could all benefit now from a little housekeeping.

some ways you can honor this transition are:

• deep cleaning your home, especially those areas you only look at once or twice a year

• addressing and releasing any mental heaviness

• cutting any emotional chords that may be burdening you

• smudging yourself and your home with eucalyptus leafs, rosemary sprigs or sweetgrass

• ritualistically lighting a candle, burning away any dense energies

mythos of Leo ♌︎

Leo exuberates a loving, regal and creative energy that pulls anyone into their atmosphere.

they enhance any social event with their charming presence and have a taste for the finer things.

Leo’s can be self centered but in their highest expression are very giving.

this season is all about the process of individuation and self reflection.

Leo is our own hero’s quest in finding the strength and courage to ask ourselves, “who am i” and “what am I living for?”.

once we find our holy grail we can share our treasures with all.

“individuation is about transcending the ego and learning to serve a deeper reality... the Self is beyond the ego, beyond the personal, and touches the infinite. to live from this centre is to have a sense of the meaning of your life, to ask questions and not live blindly.”

here in Leo we find ourselves seated between the watery and earthen fertility goddesses of Cancer and Virgo.

the lion symbolizes power, strength and protection.

although it’s a masculine sign, it is intrinsically connected to fertility goddesses.

the earliest paintings of lions found are from 32,000 bce in the Chauvet cave in France where lions are painted guarding a Venus which correlates to the Mother Goddess.

goddesses protected by or riding on lions is a common depiction we see throughout ages and cultures.

the Sumerian goddess, Inanna, was the goddess of fertility and war and was called “Labbatu” which means lioness and she was often depicted with lions.

Ishtar was the Babylonian version of Inanna and was known as the “Lioness of Heaven”.

in Egypt there is Sehkmet the lion headed power goddess of war, destruction and creation.

this speaks to the dark facet of the Mother Goddess that is equally important but often repressed by patriarchy- rage, ferocity and lethal protective energy. this is the full spectrum of the mother, between creation and death.

the modern exhaltation of Leo in the stars comes from the Greek hero myth of Hercules fighting a lion.

the lion represents the shadow side of Leo and the story symbolizes overcoming the fears and instincts of your lower nature by becoming heartcentred.

#leomyth #leoseason

the energy of August evokes new beginnings & regeneration, reminding us of our inner power and lioness during Leo season ✮°

poppies & gladiolus are the flora symbols for August embodying themes of strength, remembrance and beauty. the poppy is considered a sacred root chakra flower, symbolizing eternal life and foundations; while the gladiolus stands tall and powerful.

we love to highlight the deeper meanings behind all aspects of events. the florals you choose can spark stories from the past, bring beauty to any space and most importantly hold a higher vibration that soothes your soul ✰ *₊°

thank you @theperfectpetal for helping us create the most beautiful centerpiece for our latest project!
