this too is a love story.
Not of couples whose weddings I design, but of a girl and the business she built.
I’m Anna, the creative behind Willows and Sage. My truth is that I didn’t set out to become a florist — I fell into it the way you stumble into love: unexpectedly and all at once. What began as a whim and a dream after making the move back home to Cleveland became the great romance of my life’s work.
Every bouquet, every installation, every carefully chosen stem is a piece of me. Willows and Sage isn’t just my career — its’s where I’ve discovered my strength, my artistry, and the joy of pouring beauty into the most meaningful celebrations of people’s lives.
I wouldn’t trade this life I’ve built because when I see my work woven into your love story, the late nights and wild ideas, the endless sketches and petal-strewn floors, it all becomes worth it. This is the art I was meant to make.
And while Willows and Sage has grown, at its heart it is still a love letter: to creativity, to beauty and to the fleeting magic of flowers that make a moment unforgettable.
there is something deeply humbling about being chosen
A wedding holds so much before the day ever arrives: the imagining, the planning, the people you love, and the thousand little decisions that slowly turn childhood dreams into something real. To be invited into that story — and trusted to make it beautiful — is something I will never take lightly.
When you invest in Willows and Sage, I invest myself in you. I learn what moves you, what matters to you, and what you hope to feel when you finally step into the room. Then I gather the team, make the plans, and give every detail the kind of care I would want someone to give my own. If I am part of your team, I am all in.
There are many hands behind the beauty we create: carrying, building, placing, and perfecting until the last candle is lit and the final stem finds its place. We bring the preparation that makes a wedding day feel calm, the team that makes a transformation feel seamless, and the kind of care that leaves our clients saying it was more beautiful than they ever imagined.
That is the promise beneath all the pretty things: you can trust us with your day.
