Traveling Bird, Owner, Lead Floral Designer
Adrian Hayden Hoffman
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Adrian moved with her parents to Boston when she was two months old, then moved back to Tulsa for junior high school. She went to Northern CA to live with her father and to finish high school there, then made her way back to the east coast for college. After attending her first two years at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, she decided to study abroad. She completed her Bacholors in German Studies at the Universität Freiburg im Briesgau, having the opportunity to tour Germany, France, England, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Italy, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden.
Returning to the US she began flowering in San Franscisco, and has worked as a guest floral designer in different flower shops up the west coast, landing in Washington State. An 8 year professional mountain bike race career allowed her to explore not only the entire west coast of the US and Canada, as well as further inland, but to ride & race varying backcountry terrain in Costa Rica & Chile. Understanding different terrain, climate and flora, she was able to design for her sister's wedding in St Thomas USVI in 2023, showing up and hand foraging wildflowers and textures with permission from local property owners. The flowers held up looking gorgeous all day and night in 85 degree tropical heat!
With a passion for the great outdoors and a calling to be of greater service, she's devoted herself to working with her hands and nature's gifts. She feels the most at home In WA State with so much variation of landscape and microclimate, and with such abundance statewide of different types of flora. After years of observing & working for other designers, she's created her own unique style which is still ever evolving, using natural and sustainable mechanics. She has finally settled down in central Washington, only an hour and a half east of Seattle, on a 5 acre creekside property, where she is learning how to grow many of her own flowers and vegetables. Being so centrally located, she is excited to travel for events and to visit her extended friends & family afar.
Adrian is often a one-woman show for smaller events, but employs the hands and minds of some incredible creatives and professionals for larger scale weddings and celebrations. With unwavering support and a large network statewide, of regular and on-call assistants (including her husband for the heavier lifting, and some super talented freelancers!) she loves working as a team to make your dream event come true. She is familiar with many venues statewide, prides herself in clear communication & coordination skills, has a calm demeanor during a time of planning & executing many moving parts, along with an immense gratitude for each client.
"We had an absolutely enchanting experience with Rose and Sparrow at our wedding. From the breathtaking arrangements to the meticulous attention to detail, Adrian brought our vision to life. Adrian's creativity, professionalism, and impeccable service made our special day even more magical. Highly recommended!"
