Florist serving Cape Cod and New England

Who We Are

Hello! I'm Emily MacIntyre, owner and lead floral designer at Coastal Petals Farm. My journey into floral design is as personal as it is artistic.

I first discovered my love for the arts in high school and went on to pursue a degree in fine arts and scenic design in college. However, my parents nudged me in a different direction, and I ended up in nursing—a career that has enriched my life for nearly three decades. Despite its rewards, I always felt that something was missing.

My passion for flowers, deeply inspired by the work of Georgia O’Keeffe, has never waned. I once enjoyed painting flowers to capture their intricate beauty, but as my nursing career progressed—and with the demands of earning a master’s and doctorate, as well as teaching in academia—that creative outlet took a back seat.

Nursing taught me invaluable lessons: patience, attentive listening, calmness under pressure, and an appreciation for life’s fleeting moments. Whether caring for patients or nurturing seedlings into vibrant blooms, I see a beautiful parallel in both pursuits.

About twenty years ago, I began exploring floral design more seriously by attending floral school in Boston, reading extensively, taking online courses, and participating in conferences. Life’s twists delayed my dream of a full-time career in floristry, and it wasn’t until 2024 that I fully committed to creating Coastal Petals Farm, guided by the belief that pursuing a passion should never feel like work.

Coastal Petals Farm originated from a genuine passion for cultivating my own flowers and a strong wish to contribute to the Cape Cod community.

Flowers have a special way of touching our hearts, sharing stories, and bringing people closer together. Let Coastal Petals Farm be part of your story—one beautiful petal at a time!

 

 

What We Offer

We believe flowers are most beautiful when they’re allowed to reflect the quiet rhythms of nature—seasonal, natural, and full of effortless charm. With thoughtful care, we plant, grow, and nurture many of our blooms from seedling to blossom, honoring the simple beauty of each stage along the way. Whenever possible, we source locally grown flowers to support our community, tread lightly on the earth, and create designs free from pesticides. Every stem is gathered with intention, carrying a touch of the land, the season, and the care behind it. 🌿

OUR MISSION

Sustainability and Sourcing of Flowers

We grow with intention, minimizing disruption, and honoring the natural rhythm of each season. When a bloom isn’t grown here on our farm, we thoughtfully source flowers locally or within the United States, ensuring every stem reflects our commitment to sustainability, community, and mindful design. 🌿✨

Pricing

We believe every event deserves to be adorned with beautiful, thoughtfully designed florals. Rather than setting a minimum investment, we approach each event with intention—creating bespoke floral designs that reflect your vision and priorities. While flowers are a meaningful investment, working seasonally allows us to curate an elevated, artful collection that enhances your celebration and sets a refined, unforgettable tone. 🌿✨

Communication

You’re part of the process from the very beginning. We believe in open, thoughtful communication and shared decisions, guiding you with clarity and care. With transparent pricing and clear expectations, you can feel confident and at ease—knowing every detail is unfolding just as it should. 🌿✨

Commitment to Service

We are deeply committed to providing a level of service that not only meets but gently exceeds your expectations. From our first consultation to the final flourish on your event day, every detail is handled with care, intention, and professionalism. It is our hope that you’ll allow us to carry the details for you—so the experience feels effortless, joyful, and beautifully stress-free from beginning to end. 🌿✨
