Wedding Flowers with Something to Say
Flowers can completely change the way your wedding feels. They can frame the place you’ll say your vows, make a huge reception room feel intimate, pull everyone’s attention exactly where it belongs, and transform a space you rented for the night into a room that could only belong to the two of you.
Not Everything Expected at a Wedding Belongs at Your Wedding
Planning a wedding suddenly asks you to have opinions about things you’ve probably never considered. Do you need an arch? What goes on the tables? Should everything match? What exactly is an escort display?
There are plenty of ready-made answers. Pinterest has some. Tradition has plenty. The wedding industry has approximately a million.
Around here, we question everything.
Not because less is better. Oftentimes, more is absolutely the answer. I just don’t want your budget, attention, or energy going toward something simply because weddings are “supposed” to have it. If it matters, let’s give it enough room to become something incredible. If it doesn’t, drop it.
There’s no prize for fitting everything in. Your budget is better spent telling your story than someone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like.
The flowers are only part of the picture.
I don’t design your flowers in isolation. I look at the room they’re going into, what you’ve already chosen, where your guests will be, what they’ll see first, and which parts of the space are worth drawing attention to. Then I design the flowers in relationship to all of it.
Flowers are my medium, but not my limit. I can source, design, fabricate, and collaborate with other makers to create what the vision calls for.
My team handles delivery and setup, moves or repurposes pieces between the ceremony and reception when needed, and comes back at the end of the night to take everything down.
The investment
Most full-service weddings begin at $6,000. Smaller-scope weddings may be considered when the design, setting, and creative fit are right.
For a 100–150-person wedding, most couples invest $8,000–$12,000+, depending on the scale and complexity of the design.
If you have a specific range you’d like to stay within, tell me up front. I can make thoughtful choices about flower varieties, quantities, and where we put the biggest moments so the design makes sense for what you want to spend.
A 25% payment reserves your date, followed by 50% at 90 days out and the remaining 25% at 30 days out.
What Working
Together Looks Like
My process helps you make the big decisions early. I’ll give you plenty of space to plan the rest of your wedding and bring us back together when there’s something worth talking about.
01 / Inquire
Fill out my inquiry form, share any references you’ve been collecting, and choose a time for a 30-minute video call. I’ll use what you send me to start a preliminary design deck, so when we meet, we already have something visual to react to and build from together.
02 / Build the vision
We’ll walk through the design deck together and talk about what’s working, what isn’t, and where we want to take it. After our call, I’ll refine the deck and send a custom proposal based on the direction we landed on, your priorities, and your budget.
03 / Make it official
Your proposal is valid for 30 days. When you’re ready to make it official, sign the contract and pay the 25% retainer to reserve your date. Then you’re on my calendar.
04 / Get settled in
Once you’re booked, you’ll receive an onboarding guide with everything you need to know about working together. Then I’ll give you some breathing room while the rest of your wedding plans come together. We already have the direction. You don’t need to spend the next nine months thinking about flowers.
05 / See the space
As the wedding gets closer, we’ll reconnect, and I’ll join you for a site visit whenever possible. Seeing everything in person gives us a chance to make any final design decisions with the actual space in mind.
06 / Finalize details
About 30 days out, we’ll confirm final numbers and any remaining details. If there’s anything that’s better talked through together, we’ll hop on a quick video call. Then, it’s time to get married.

“Ashley’s vision and florals were A DREAM COME TRUE.
I’m somebody who appreciates florals but also haven’t really noticed them too much at other peoples weddings, but the way Ashley’s florals at my wedding came out is in my favorite top 3 things about my entire wedding day.”

My philosophy
I Care Far More About Impact than Excess
I think of flowers as an important tool for shaping a room. Sometimes that means one colorful statement piece that anchors the entire space, or leaving an area completely alone. I’d rather spend the money, effort, and attention on a few incredible moments than spread it thin just because every surface is available.
I have a strong instinct for what belongs and what doesn’t, and I love messing with something until I get that “a-ha!” moment. Restraint can make a design stronger. I’m not particularly attached to the wedding industry’s rules. I care about whether everything feels right.
Flowers Don’t Last
(That’s Sorta the Whole Point)
People have been decorating for important moments for as long as we’ve been gathering to celebrate them. We change the room, set the table, dress ourselves differently, bring in flowers. We make the day look different because it is different.
And then we take it all down.
That’s part of what I love about flowers. They don’t need to become another thing you own or find a place for in your house. For a little while, they get to mark the gravity of the day. Then the day passes, and they do too.
Their impermanence isn’t the downside. It’s part of the point.
Frequently Asked Floral Design Questions
-
Not at all. You don’t need to know flower names or exactly what you want before hiring a wedding florist. Bring me colors, references, places, art, fashion, music, or even just a clear sense of how you want the day to feel. I’ll translate that into the floral design.
-
That’s completely fine. I can work within the decisions you and your planner have already made and design the flowers to belong with the rest of the wedding. Event design is there when you need more help shaping the whole picture, not a requirement for working together.
-
Flowers are agricultural, so availability and quality can change with the season, weather, and what’s actually looking good that week. I design around color, shape, texture, and movement rather than promising an exact stem-for-stem recipe months in advance. If something isn’t available or isn’t good enough to use, I’ll choose something that serves the design better.
-
Yes, within reason. Guest counts change, floor plans move, priorities shift, and the design can evolve as your wedding plans come together. Changes to quantities, scale, or the scope of the design may also change your final investment, so the earlier I know, the more options we have. Once flowers are ordered and production begins, our ability to make changes becomes much more limited.
-
Absolutely. I’m a Colorado wedding florist and work throughout the Mountain West, including Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. I’m also happy to travel farther for the right wedding. Tell me where you’re getting married when you inquire, and we’ll figure out what it takes to get me there.
