Bows + Arrows is dedicated to the creation of beauty via the art of floral design. The husband and wife team, led by Alicia Rico, work with the environment, gathering inspiration from the landscape and working with seasonal flora. Their philosophy is found in nature and the couple’s work is a reflection of what is natural, lush, relaxed and overgrown.
