“We I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience — every tiny detail was considered; every request mattered.”
— Ives Stone, 2025 Client
“I gave her an extremely vague idea of what I wanted, and she literally brought my dreams to life with very little description from me to work with!”
— Grace, 2024 Bride
We begin with your inquiry—sharing your date, venue, and the vision you’ve dreamed of for your wedding day. This allows us to confirm availability and ensure your celebration receives the care and artistry it deserves.
This is where your ideas begin to bloom. We encourage couples to bring inspiration boards, Pinterest pins, or even fabric swatches from wedding attire to help us understand your aesthetic. Together, we’ll explore color palettes, textures, and flowers that speak to your story, creating the foundation of your bespoke design.
After your consultation, we craft a tailored design proposal that illustrates how your floral story will come to life. From the bridal bouquet to ceremony structures and reception tablescapes, this proposal is both an artistic vision and a thoughtful plan. Every element is curated with intention and refinement.
On your wedding day, our team is on-site to carefully design and place every floral element. From pinning boutonnieres to styling centerpieces, each detail is handled with precision. Luxury is not only in the flowers themselves, but in the seamless process that allows you to be fully present in your day.
There’s nothing quite like that first look. When the doors open and guests step into a space transformed, the room itself tells the story. From the glow of candlelight to layers of florals and textures, every detail comes together to create a breathtaking first impression—one that lingers long after the last dance.
Make a Statement —
That Lasts
My specialty when it comes to floral design is creating arrangements that feel timeless, intentional, and deeply personal. You can expect a standard of artistry, communication, and care every step of the way.
Absolutely! While most of our weddings and events are based in North Carolina, we love traveling to bring our designs to new places. Whether it’s a mountain retreat, a coastal celebration, or a city soirée, we’re happy to design wherever your story takes you.
We recommend starting the process as early as possible once you’ve secured your wedding date and venue. Booking a consultation 9–12 months in advance allows us to dream with you, secure your date, and ensure your floral design receives the attention it deserves.
Yes, collaboration is one of our favorite parts of the process. We work closely with planners, venues, and creative partners to ensure the florals integrate seamlessly into the overall design. It’s this teamwork that makes a wedding or event feel truly polished and unforgettable.
Yes — and this is truly one of our specialties. We want you to experience the full impact of your floral design from start to finish. By thoughtfully transitioning arrangements from ceremony to reception, we maximize beauty and value without ever compromising the design.
We believe the best designs come from genuine connection. That’s why we value in-person consultations, where we can collaborate face-to-face and curate a relationship with you throughout the creative process. While follow-up conversations can certainly happen by phone or virtually, the foundation of our work is built in person.
For larger-scale designs, we can provide a mock-up of a centerpiece or bouquet so you can see, touch, and feel the style before your wedding day. This is a wonderful way to make sure every detail reflects your vision and brings peace of mind.
Great design begins with a conversation. Tell us about your love story, your vision, and your dreams — and together we’ll bring them to life in flowers.
