About herbery
A design studio for people who hate traditional.
HERBERY | Formerly Fae Botanics | Creates sculptural, editorial, unexpected florals for intimate gatherings that value intention over expectation. We design with atmosphere and aesthetic in mind, how a space feels, how a moment lingers, how flowers become part of the memory instead of the backdrop.
Nothing here is filler. Although, don’t tempt us with some Juvederm…
Not in the arrangements. Not in the process. Not in the POV.
We believe love should look like itself, unapologetically and we proudly celebrate LGBTQIA+ Couples, Communities, Indigenous, Immigrants, Creatives, Neighbors, Families and Friends. We believe everyone deserves to enjoy flowers and that designs should evoke emotion, art should carry tension, and rules only exist mostly to be questioned.
We build environments. Lived-in sets. Tablescapes and full scenes. Florals layered like composition, color treated like language, texture used with purpose. Pieces that don’t decorate a room, they define it.
HERBERY is for people with a strong visual instinct and zero interest in playing it safe. If you care more about feeling than tradition, and more about impact than excess, you’re already speaking our language.
Hi, I’m Gabs
Founder of Fae Botanics
Florist, stylist, chaos artist, and detail-obsessed romantic with a flair for the unexpected.
The creative brain, heart, and hands behind Fae Botanics. I design florals that flirt with fine art and throw tradition out the window (politely, but firmly).
My specialty? Intimate celebrations with maximum impact | micro weddings, dinner parties, curated shoots, and events where the energy is good and the flowers are doing the most. I love turning “just dinner” into “what the hell was that and how do I get invited again?” My work is floral-forward, sculptural, and borderline crazy | but make it intentional.
My style is organic, sculptural, elemental, and sometimes even a little unhinged. I treat flowers like beings, because duh they are. Also like set pieces. Like little portals to the way your whole day feels. I care more about feeling than formality and I believe the best kind of design is the kind that makes people feel something nostalgic, unexpected, and something they’ll actually think back to…
You’ll find me hyping up your tablescapes, gently fixing your veil, wiping a tear during your vows (yes, it happens every time), and making sure your blooms look just as iconic in person as they do on camera. I’m not here to make pretty flowers. I’m here to make you feel something. ANYTHING LOL!
If you want a dinner party that doubles as a visual experience, a micro wedding with maximalist energy, or a styled shoot that looks like it belongs in an art magazine, I’m your girl.
HERBERY is for the creatively curious, the visually picky, and anyone who believes beauty lives in the details. Let’s build something epically dramatic, weird, and unforgettable.
The Girl in the Garden
Before HERBERY | Formerly Fae Botanics | bloomed into existence, I was deep in the world of hairstyling by day and secretly playing florist by night… Snipping stems in my kitchen, hoarding vases, and experimenting with plants and flowers like a mad scientist on a Trader Joe’s budget.
I finally stopped pretending this was just a phase, and decided to make it my actual job. I went back to school for floristry and design, officially turning my flower-flinging hobby into a full-blown career. I spent my first few years freelancing for other florists around Cleveland | learning the ropes, hauling buckets, styling installs, and quietly putting my creative stamp on everything… even if I didn’t always get the credit for it, but hey that’s okay!
And well, that creative itch? It got very loud.
So I built HERBERY | a brand that finally feels like me.
After a million rebrands…
"HERBERY" is a combination of HERBS & BURBERRY, for my fairy-in-the-forest side that loves nature, ritual, mixed with a little fashion and aesthetics.
I’m a little bit unhinged and colorful, a little bit introverted and neutral. I live for sculptural blooms and soft lime washed walls. Plaster art has me in a chokehold. I could talk for hours about napkin folds and why a weirdly shaped bud vase can completely change the vibe.
The truth is, I was never drawn to huge, chaotic weddings. Where’s my anxiety peeps at? I’m here for the small-scale magic | the curated dinners, the intimate events, the styled scenes with too many candles and not nearly enough chairs. I design for people who care about details the way I do: deeply, obsessively, maybe a little unreasonably…
HERBERY is for the people who want their table to feel like a mood, not just look pretty on Instagram, even though it’ll do that too. It’s for the introverts with excellent taste. For the weird ones, you know who you are. And the ones who hate crowds but love elevated dinner party vibes. THE HOSTS.
If that’s you? Hiii. Let’s make something ridiculous and beautiful together.
