M A D E L I N E
owner & designer
This might feel obvious to say, but I am truly so in love with flowers. My love of flowers started very young. Growing up, my mom loved flowers and always had them in the house. I worked at a local floral shop during high school, and loved every minute of it. I pursued other careers as I tried to find my passion. Years later, I now have my own floral business - it is full circle in the best way. My first floral business “Bellamore Floral” launched at the end of 2018. I did hundreds of weddings and events over the course of five years. I learned an immense amount about floral design, owning a business, growing a team and curating my own unique brand. It was a beautiful five years of growth - both professionally and personally - and I am so grateful for all that Bellamore Floral brought me.
After five years of Bellamore Floral, I took time for some major reflection and re-prioritization. My business and brand had evolved so much since I began in 2018. Bellamore had grown beyond me…which is the best news! I wanted to overhaul my brand, my vision and fine tune my mission statement to better reflect who my team and I have grown into. Introducing…Sage + Rae Floral Co!
I am beyond thrilled we are now Sage + Rae Floral Co. I am deeply passionate about floral design, and cherish the creativity it allows me to explore on a daily basis. It is hard work, but so incredibly fulfilling and rewarding to see the process from inquiry to event day. The team and I will continue to grow, learn and evolve to exceed our client’s expectations for each and every design.
As stated above, I prioritize local flowers as much as I can. After dealing with health issues, I started to use local florals more - it changed my designs and opened such a beautiful new world of floral varieties! They are healthier for us, better for the environment and as fresh as it gets! During our consultations, I will discuss the floral selection process and the benefits of designing seasonally.

It is such an honor to be a part of our couple’s day. I have learned so much over the last five years of wedding floristry, and I hope to be a source of support and inspiration throughout the planning process. In return, I ask for your trust and faith in us at Sage + Rae!
You being here means so much to me. Thank you for your interest in Sage + Rae, and in my story of getting here. I look forward to continuing the conversation, and talking all things floral with you! Our team would be honored to bring your floral dreams to life!
When I’m not working, I am probably with my husband and our two cavapoo puppies. I am rarely without an iced oat milk latte or matcha in hand. I teach fitness classes part time, and it’s the best side job and community! I love my kindle, skinny spicy margaritas, a glass of bubbles, all things Bravo, eating at our favorite Minneapolis restaurants, traveling with my husband, and being cozy with my dogs.
Thank you again for being here! xx
