Reviews
“The flowers were one of my favorite aspects of our wedding. They were so fresh and the colors were so vibrant—Mandy really got my vision and brought it to life. It blew me away; it was really perfect. I couldn’t be happier.”
“Her floral arrangements were mesmerizing.”
“When I sat down with Mandy the first time (for an initial flower consultation), she took the concepts I had in my mind and described a total look and feel to the event in great detail—even including ideas for centerpieces and other décor on that very first day. She clearly knew exactly what I was trying to envision and from that point I felt like I was in great hands.”
“She knows the importance of flowers at a wedding celebration and she works with you, your budget and your taste to make sure there are beautiful centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres.”
“She really made the flower process easy and less stressful. Our budget was respected and kept, which we were happy about. She substituted other, less expensive flowers in to make the place look spectacular without compromising our budget or the overall look.”
“I went in to meet Mandy one afternoon at her store on Union Street. When I walked in I was immediately impressed. It was just beautiful and the arrangements that adorned the store were gorgeous.”
“She has an eye for beauty and her flower work is really an art form. She is the utmost professional and I would highly recommend her services.”
“Her prices were reasonable and she didn’t just give us a great product, she gave us the ideas and suggestions to really put the extra special touch on our event.”
“Mandy was a blessing. She listened to everything I described and was very honest about what was going to be more difficult to achieve (not a lot of flowers come in navy blue). But she offered great innovative ideas to match the look and feel I was trying to achieve.”
“I felt like Mandy was more of a friend than a vendor by the end.”

It is important we are on your side helping you get what you want and not imposing our ideas on you. We work with most budgets and work hard to create designs that match your vision and desires.

In a former life I was a qualified accredited Accountant and Managing Director for a global investment bank, coordinating large teams and big projects. After 10 years of traveling the world for business, seeing amazing design and creativity, I realized my passion lay with design—and more importantly—with event design. My mind was made up, so I trained as a floral designer for 5 years in college and with a select few of the best floral designers in the world before founding my own business over a decade ago.What are some sources of inspiration or influences on your work?
I keep a close eye on what's happening in interior design, fashion and technology developments. I frequently visit exhibitions and read a ton of design and creative magazines. I draw inspiration from all of these things and also from art.What makes a wedding memorable for you?
