Bloomsbury Blooms specializes in wedding florals and event design. An artistically curated mix of locally grown, foraged and imported beauty. Seasonal floral design with a romantic yet wild style to it. Established in 2012.

The Teal Door AK is owned and operated by Kasara Bertels. I create custom floral arrangements in my home studio location of Sutton, Alaska. I enjoy using the perfect blend of local foliage and specialty stems to create custom pieces for my clients. Combining my passion for florals and my love of art, I create top-notch designs to achieve my client’s visions. The Teal Door AK works exclusively with their brides to create a one of a kind experience for a magical day to remember. Fun fact: Kasara has a teal front door which inspired my business name!

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

I’m thrilled that Zola connected us, and I’d love to hear all about your wedding vision. All of my flowers are handcrafted from sola wood, a material derived from the tapioca plant. They’re lightweight, soft to the touch, and designed to look just like real flowers. One of the best parts? Since they’re made of wood, I can ship them to you no matter where you are in the U.S.!

I’m really looking forward to working with you and making your day extra special! https: // www. foreverbloomsfloral . com / wedding

From an early age, I could often be found knee deep in mud & weeds. I spent my most memorable childhood summers exploring the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, gathering treasures under the shade of the oaks on my abuelita’s ranch. When I moved north to Alaska, my love for the natural world grew deeper still. I found myself out foraging food & flowers on our endless trails, returning home with basketfuls of lupine, fireweed, fern, & fritillaria. Designing floral vignettes became a creative outlet as I balanced a career working in nonprofits. I made the jump into full-time floral design 5 years ago & have never looked back!

As a born and raised Alaskan I have a deep love and respect for all things in nature. I grew up spending summers commercial fishing in Cook Inlet and foraging yarrow on the shores that I have the privilege to call home. My hope is to translate my love for adventure and the beautiful outdoors into my art by using foraged Alaskan blooms as well as locally sourced and grown florals as much as possible.

I discovered wood flowers when I was planning my wedding in 2020. From that point I fell in love and Tipsy Designs blossomed! Since then, we have done several weddings, even was hired by the football hall of fame in Canton Ohio in August 2023.
