hi, i’m nora, the owner and artisan of lilac and blush.

i am forever inspired by color and texture- i am endlessly entertained by the gradations of a sunset and i love wandering through the pages of a design magazine- so it brings me great joy to assemble flowers and bouquets with a creative spirit, an eye for aesthetics, and attention to detail.

with scissors, glue, and a rainbow of italian crepe paper, i transform paper to petal as i handcraft each piece of the flower and build each blossom. i handcut, sculpt, and carefully place all of the petals, sepals, and leaves- i love the mix of creativity and precision of paper flowers as well as the magic when form and charm are born from a simple piece of paper and a dose of handiwork.

lilac and blush was born in 2020 during early corona when i was able to devote more time to the business itself after several years of diving into the art of creating paper flowers. lilac and blush are colors that i featured in an early collection and in an early bouquet in which i felt the beautiful and intuitive journey of colors and blooms come alive.

when i’m not making paper flowers you can find me dreaming of new orleans, searching for moments of kindness and connection, watching cheers, wandering trails and shorelines, waiting for opening day of baseball, listening to mt joy and lord huron, learning tarot, or forever starting a new book.

it has been a pleasure to bring lilac and blush to life and to bring a little beauty to the world through paper and flowers. thank you for stopping by- enjoy exploring!
