Our Story
Rooted in love
Juniper Atelier began with a love of flowers passed down through generations. My grandma, Marilyn Adamo, was a school nurse in Connecticut. All her life, she was devoted to her family and friends and to caring for her garden. Marilyn had a natural talent for helping things grow, creating floral arrangements, and decorating her home to reflect the changing of the seasons. I have always admired the way she filled her home—and our lives—with so much color, life, and warmth. After her passing, I wanted a way to honor her legacy of creativity and love through florals. Juniper Atelier reflects her emphasis on creating beauty and caring for those around you, both in everyday life and in celebrating special occasions with loved ones.
Meaningful moments
Years later, standing as a bridesmaid at a close friend’s wedding, I found myself holding a bouquet I never wanted to let go of. That bouquet represented friendship, celebration, and the love I had witnessed that day. While wedding florals and the wedding day itself are both fleeting moments in time, they are symbolic of lifelong love, beauty, care, and togetherness. This immense feeling I had leaving the wedding and carefully transporting my bridesmaid bouquet home (tucked into my car’s cupholder in a Gatorade bottle filled with water!) became the seed of an idea. Florals are more than beautiful decorations — they are stories and memories, and I wanted to find a way to make them last forever.
Ephemeral, yet everlasting
Flowers are ephemeral by nature, but that doesn’t mean their beauty has to fade. Through floral preservation, I help you hold onto these reminders of love and joy, turning a fleeting bloom into a lasting heirloom.
At Juniper Atelier, I believe flowers should be designed in collaboration. I am excited to work with you to honor your vision, your love story, your celebration. Whether we are designing florals for a wedding, creating an arrangement as a gift for a loved one, or working together to preserve your memories in a keepsake, my goal is to create floral pieces that reflect both the beauty of the natural world and the fleeting magic of life’s most meaningful moments.
“A flower blossoms for its own joy.”
— Oscar Wilde
A portrait of the artist
I’ve always loved being in spaces filled with flowers. From botanical gardens to restaurants with hanging floral installations, I’ve always found that I feel my best and most beautiful when surrounded by flowers.
Juniper Atelier was born out of my love of celebrating others. My dream for Juniper Atelier is to bring your vision to life and infuse your world with beauty. Whether we’re transforming a space for your wedding or brightening someone else’s day with a surprise arrangement, I look forward to hearing from you and making something beautiful together!
