A little more

My role in the roomTimeline translator, detail keeper, and the calm voice that knows what happens next
My planning north starA beautiful day should feel effortless to the people living it
What I always noticeThe timing, the flow, and the small need nobody has said out loud yet
My secret ingredientWarmth, clear communication, and a very good backup plan
An incomplete list of
Things I
really love.
My Lily in June superpower
Turning complexity into calm. Mandi can hold a full event in her head, spot the next need early, and keep everyone moving without making the room feel rushed.

Before the flowers
How we
became us.
Before Lily in June, Steph and I spent years side by side in Downtown Houston hospitality, running packed restaurants and bars and becoming queens of cooler organization and inventory. In 2018, we designed, built, and opened one final restaurant concept together. At the same time, Steph was quietly dreaming up Lily in June. When Lily in June opened as its own business in 2019, our teamwork simply found a new home. Steph sees possibility everywhere. I am usually the one asking what happens next, building the timeline, organizing the cooler, and making sure no detail gets left behind. We work because she dreams big and I genuinely love turning all those moving pieces into a plan. It is a little chaos, a lot of trust, and somehow always us.
Off the clock
Where you’ll
find me.
Trading timelines and floor plans for a little movement and a quieter hour
Catching up on the latest read or planning what is next in the stack
Making something colorful, usually with snacks, good company, and plenty of conversation
Tap for the highly unofficial truth
Very human
confessions.
What is the Costco situation?
Also addicted. Costco is both an errand and an outing, and leaving with only what was on the list would be suspicious.
Is there an Amazon package coming?
Almost certainly. If there is not one on the porch, there is probably one out for delivery.
Online shopping weakness?
A good SHEIN find, a full cart, and the deeply satisfying moment when the tracking finally says delivered.
Superwoman all the time?
No. Some days start with yoga and end with wedding magic. Other days are toddler negotiations, a half-finished craft, and reading one more chapter anyway.
The real rhythm
A week at
Lily in June.
Client and sales calls, timelines, weddings, floor plans, and all things logistics
A Houston flower run to touch and approve every stem before it reaches the shop
Décor pulls, packing, load-in plans, centerpieces, and production in full swing
Rehearsals, wedding-party reassurance, and making sure everyone knows exactly what comes next
Show time, from before sunrise until every couple has had the best day ever
Rest, books, crafts, family time, and absolutely no timelines
The current chapter
Right now, I’m…
Whatever is next in the stack
Timelines, logistics, and approximately 47 tiny details
The couple’s peace on wedding day
More personality, less polish
