In 2021 Natalie started her florist journey as a novice freelancer for her friend’s floral company, Floriography VA.

As an artistic individual who at the time had a limited creative outlet, Natalie instantly fell in love with the floral industry. Growing up, her passions were theater and ceramics, and the experience of working as a wedding events florist reminded her of what it felt like to be a part of a live production while simultaneously getting to create things with her own two hands. She was hooked.

While Natalie is still affiliated with Floriography VA as an associate designer and day-of coordinator, she has decided to branch out and start her own company, With Love and Light LLC. Here, Natalie aims to expand outside the wedding space and into other realms of life’s cycles like special holidays, end of life ceremonies, birthdays, baby showers, holiday parties, graduations, anniversaries, small events, and other creative projects.

Aside from her passion for all things floral, Natalie also has a knack for organization, wellness, and sustainability. With a BS in Health Psychology, a minor in Well-Being, and an MAIS in Social Entrepreneurship from GMU, Natalie strives for ethical business practices with an emphasis on sustainability, community kickback, and business to business partnerships. In addition to floral services, With Love and Light LLC offers organization services, sells second hand clothing/home goods, and always strives to support local by featuring local artists work and sourcing local when possible.

One day With Love and Light LLC hopes to expand into the non-profit sector where it aims to enhance the well-being of communities through meditation, community gardening, and volunteerism. With Love and Light believes that if you start small but dream big, you can change lives.
