temple /ˈtɛm.pəl/ noun
A building devoted to worship or regarded as the dwelling place of the divine; a sacred place designated for spiritual or religious activity.
A space, structure, or vessel considered holy or worthy of reverence — such as the human body or a place in nature.
From Latin templum — a space marked out for observation of the heavens, later meaning a place consecrated to a deity.
In contemporary mindful living, the idea of a temple often extends beyond its architectural form, encompassing any space or moment filled with stillness, presence, and reverence for the sacred.
Throughout history and across cultures, nature and flowers have held profound symbolic and sacred meaning — from offerings in ancient temples to expressions of celebration, remembrance, and love.
To me, mindfulness begins with how we honor the beauty found in simple things. A single flower can transform both living spaces and meaningful occasions, carrying the essence of nature into our lives and expressing what words sometimes cannot, brining a deeper meaning to our everyday moments.

ASTRO BLOOMS
More than flowers — a moment to feel closer to nature and each other
Intentional florals designed with meaning, inspired by your stars and the astrology of the moment
Discover the new Astro Collections available for a limited time!
Choosing the right flowers can feel overwhelming — whether it’s a bouquet that speaks your heart, or a centerpiece that lights up a birthday dinner.
With endless choices, how do you make it feel just right?
That’s where I come in.
Every bouquet starts with a conversation. I take time to get to know what you’re celebrating or shifting toward, and how you want the space or moment to feel.
From there, I look to the current sky — the season, the sun, and the energy they bring — to guide the colors, textures, and blooms I choose. It’s a mix of astrological insight and down-to-earth design that keeps every arrangement personal and intentional.

FAQs
How customizable is the bouquet?
Very. Choose an intention or color, tell me the occasion, and I’ll translate that into a symbolic bouquet using seasonal, local blooms.
Will I get the exact stems pictured?
No — I design with seasonal availability in mind. Each bouquet is a handcrafted translation of the mood and intention you choose.
Delivery area & timing?
Same-day/next-day in Portland. Orders after 12 pm will go out next day.
Do you do events?
Yes — I offer personalized consultations for events and installations. Contact me for pricing and availability.
Where do you source your flowers?
Whenever possible, I design with seasonal flowers grown by farmers in Oregon and Washington, sourcing primarily through the Portland Flower Market. Partnering with local vendors and growers allows me to work with fresh, sustainable blooms that reflect the nature of the season.
Why do you focus on local sourcing?
As someone who made a home here, supporting local farms and growers feels deeply meaningful. Keeping my work close to home helps me stay connected to this community while reducing my carbon footprint. Each arrangement becomes a small way of giving back — a reflection of care for the place that welcomed me and keeps me blooming.
Can I return or exchange my arrangement?
Because all of my floral designs are custom-made and created with seasonal, perishable materials, I’m not able to accept returns or exchanges. Each piece is made specifically for you and the moment it’s intended to honor.
Do you offer refunds?
All sales are final. Every Moon & Bloom or By Cora arrangement is handcrafted to order — unique to the lunar cycle or your selected date — and cannot be resold or replicated.
What if my flowers arrive damaged or not as expected?
If your arrangement arrives with any issue or damage, please reach out within 24 hours of delivery. I’ll review your situation and provide an appropriate resolution when possible.
Why is there a no‑refund policy?
Florals are living art — delicate, time‑sensitive, and designed intuitively for each client. This policy helps ensure that every creation maintains its integrity, purpose, and freshness throughout its brief, beautiful life.
Can I cancel my order?
Orders may only be canceled before the design process or floral sourcing begins. Once your blooms have been ordered or arranged, the order becomes final.
By placing an order or subscription, you acknowledge and agree to these terms.
What makes each bouquet unique?
Every bouquet is made with close attention to detail — wrapped in natural materials, finished with ribbons, and tagged with its name and story. Each design carries a distinct mood and subtle astrological reference, connecting the flowers to the energy they’re meant to inspire.
I include care instructions to help your blooms last and offer discounts for returning customers as a way of saying thank you. From the first stem to the final ribbon, every piece is designed with intention, care, and appreciation.
What does sustainability look like in your work?
Sustainability is at the heart of everything I do. I design with the seasons, source from local growers, and make choices that keep my work as gentle on the planet as possible. I don’t use plastic wraps and floral foam, and I reuse vessels and mechanics to reduce waste and extend their life.
Working this way means supporting my community, lowering my carbon footprint, and creating pieces that feel true to both the earth and the moment. For me, sustainability is about alignment — living, making, and designing with care and intention.
How does pricing work?
I keep things simple with a flat fee for =my offerings — no hidden costs or confusing menus. Each piece is still completely customized to you and your moment, using seasonal, locally grown blooms. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying up front, so you can focus on the fun part: envisioning something beautiful and meaningful.
Tell me about the flowers you’re dreaming up — the energy, the season, the story you want to tell with them.
