HOW BIA BLOOMS
CAME to BE
“In March of 2020 while planning our wedding, I decided to try my hand at designing florals for the first time—just for fun. I fell in love with the process of arranging! I gifted the arrangements I made to close friends in LA and posted photos of the blooms online. After receiving such warm feedback, I decided to create a business behind that floral work: Bia Blooms! And I’ve been designing ever since.”
MY go-to FESTIVE
FLORALS
“I love to work with colorful, playful florals at all times of the year. During the holiday season, my favorites are chrysanthemums, Amaranthus, cosmos, marigolds, and, of course dahlias before they’re gone for the winter!”
my FAVORITE
HOLIDAY TRADITION
“My fondest memories revolve around the dinner we usually share on each major holiday. Everyone who’s attending is in charge of something. My grandparents make the greens and stuffing, my uncle brings all kinds of dessert, my parents cook the turkey and ham, my older sister brings the appetizers, and I’m in charge of making the cornbread muffins (I lucked out with the easiest gig). Before we eat, we join hands around the food, so we can be present with each other in that super special moment.”

FESTIVE FRAGRANCE
“While growing up and even now when I’m visiting back home, my mom loves having candles lit year-round, and she uses her best stuff over the holidays. I love the Blue Cypress and Snow fragrance because it conjures up a wonderful, rich nostalgia for me. It offers a full aroma with a touch of sweetness and reminds me of good times celebrating and relaxing with loved ones.”
HOW I DECORATE
for the HOLIDAYS
“We live in Los Angeles, and we don’t have the benefit of changing leaves and falling snow to usher in the holiday spirit, so we have to go extra hard with candles, decorations, and warm tea. We weave string lights on our 6ft cactus, hang red and orange dried florals on the wall, and always have candles lit and tea brewing.”
