Intentional Florals · Houston, Texas
Flowers for the rest you've been missing.
A Black-owned floral studio built on the seven types of rest. Each collection carries its own color theory, so the blooms you bring home are the restoration you actually need.
The Studio
Rest isn't one thing. Neither are flowers.
We design around all seven. Every season the stems change; the rest stays constant. Bring us a wedding, a lobby, a boardroom or a hard week, and we'll translate it into color, texture and scent that gives something back.
The Seven Rest Collections
Seven rests. Seven palettes. One ritual.
Each collection is built on a color theory tied to the rest it restores. Not sure which one you need? Start with the feeling you're running low on.

“I took the two things I love and made it my purpose to help others experience what rest truly means.”
I've always been an intentional person, from the gifts I give to simply showing up for others. During my own healing journey, the weekly arrangements I made for my home brought me so much joy and set the tone for my week. I noticed a real difference between the weeks my house had fresh flowers and the weeks it didn't.
I was going through a kind of burnout I had never felt before. My life felt like it was on autopilot. Then I came across the seven types of rest, a framework popularized by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith in her book Sacred Rest. Studying them, it all came together. I started paying attention to which rest I needed and how to honor it in its own way.
After prayer and meditation, I brought those two loves together. The Seventh Ritual Bloom exists to educate and to let you feel the rest you need, one intentional arrangement at a time.
