Wedding Design and Styling

Here, empty frills and humdrum design make way for something far more meaningful.

Our design process always starts with getting to know you as a couple. We’ll dive deep into your event vision, your style, and your aesthetic preferences in order to craft a design plan that speaks your language and is as layered as your story. We find inspiration in every challenge, relish in the rare, and love nothing more than brainstorming bold ideas in order to create something that’s both entirely unexpected and undeniably extraordinary.

Carefully crafted and artfully arranged, our floral designs are rooted in your story and impossible to recreate.

Whether your vision is big and bold or intimate and understated, our extensive experience in the world of wedding florals—coupled with our training from world-renowned European designers—allows us to craft a floral design plan that will leave your guests in absolute awe.
