Intimate Dining

Intentional Dialogue

Inspiring Design

There are seasons of burning.
Times where we feel a loss,
hardship, an end.
An ache for what was.
Grieving what is no longer.
Lost in smoke.

A burn.

There are seasons of blooming.
Seeds cracked open from the flame.
Sprinkled delicately upon the ground.
Protected by ash from the harsh, direct sunlight.
Planted perfectly.

A bloom.

Keep the Beauty of Intimacy Alive

May it be a birthday brunch on the beach, a baby shower in a backyard, an engagement party on a patio, or even hosting your own Burn + Bloom dinner, setting the table for any occasion is my sweet spot!

From coordinating to rentals, to setting up + setting the tone, to floralizing + hosting,

let us come to you and take care of the rest.

Table Talk

Burn to Bloom

“Connection became my driving force.

Creativity became my therapy.

Authentic conversation, primary.”

Health, Healing, & Wholeness

“There are many ways we can stay healthy and heal. But have we ever thought, or been told, that Positive Social Connection is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves?”

Joy is a Choice

“Soak in your soul’s yes. Let’s choose joy. The moment may only last a few minutes but can stay with you for a lifetime.”

Best Piece of Advice

“Someone recently asked me what the best piece of advice I could give for someone interested in starting events, design, florals, you name it... and my answer would be the same for all. It’s quite vague but it will, without a shadow of a doubt, get you to where you want to go.”

Friendsgiving

“Tis the season for long table dinners, friends who are family, new traditions + old, heart-warming whiskey, and good storytelling. Friendsgiving. Ah, my second favorite holiday. Although it hasn’t always been.”

The Privilege to Host

“the reason why I started wasn’t for the food but for the friendship. The connection. Conversation. Dinner makes people sit down. And I want people to sit down with me.”

What Brings You Life

“When do we accept our heart’s desire as simply a hobby... or a grassroots professional pursuit requiring blood, sweat and tears? Well, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s both.”

True Friendship

“… this morning, I was home. Not because I’m back on my old stomping grounds but because I was in the presence of a rare and wonderful soul”

Meet Kelsie Mae

I am a creator, curator, conversationalist, designer and host. I am a flower picker, stick collector, feather picker-upper, shell scavenger, rock researcher.

I set dinner tables - and meet other women on the path to freeing their souls. I offer a seat, a glass of wine (or two. Or a bottle.) and a simple "me, too".

It’s been over 5 years since I started these intimate gatherings under the night sky. I’ve now hosted hundreds of women (and a handful of men) and remembering why I started... reminds me to never stop.
