Knowing what you like is enough

Send me pictures of your dress or suit, your weird Pinterest references, or fabric swatches. I want to hear what you’re drawn to, including the things you haven’t quite figured out how to put into words. You don’t need to know the names of the flowers.

I’m interested in the whole visual experience: what you’re wearing, the room you’ve chosen, how you want it to feel when everyone’s there. We’ll work through your references together, and I’ll make recommendations about the flowers, their scale, and where they belong. I have plenty of opinions about those things, but I want to understand yours, too.

Across the Wedding

Personal Flowers
I love working out the bouquet alongside the outfit. Wedding-party bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and other wearables can pick up on those choices without being too matchy-matchy.

Compositions for Guest Tables
A round table may suit one substantial arrangement, while long rectangular tables often work better with smaller compositions repeated along their length. Scale depends on the table and seating, with space left for candles, glassware, and dinnerware. A plated dinner uses the table differently from a family-style meal with shared serving dishes, so the way dinner is served is part of the floral plan.

Ceremony & Installations
I work with the architecture and landscape already present when designing ceremony flowers and larger installations. A staircase, stage, or stretch of open space helps determine the placement and scale of the flowers.

The Bucket Works Approach

Once we’ve talked through what you’re drawn to, I look at where the flowers will go and how the space will be used: what guests see when they enter, where people gather, and how the tables and architecture shape the room. We’ll also talk about the areas you’re especially excited about and what you want to see in the photographs.

I may recommend giving one area considerably more attention while keeping another restrained. From my experience, concentrating the flowers in the right places usually does more than spreading the budget evenly across every surface. I’ll explain the choices I’m recommending so you can see how they relate to the things you care about.

Growing flowers is part of how I design with them. I pay attention to when they’re at their best, how they behave, and what is only available for a short window. That affects the colors, forms, and textures I choose, and how I work with them at different points in the season.

Services

Floral Design

I want to know what you love about the flowers you’ve saved. Maybe it’s the way a stem leans, or a color you hadn’t thought to put with another. Those details give me something to work with as I design your bouquet and the flowers for the room. The scope can include personal flowers, ceremony arrangements, reception tables and larger installations.

Sourcing and floral production are included, along with the delivery and installation agreed for the wedding. Any breakdown, retrieval, or rental returns are specified in the proposal and service agreement, with responsibilities confirmed against the venue’s requirements.

Floral Design + Creative Direction

A linen’s color and texture, the shape of a vessel, or the proportions of a table can change how the flowers read. If you’d like help working through those decisions together, creative direction extends the design beyond the flowers. This can include linens, candles, vessels, tabletop details, furniture, the wider material palette, and rental recommendations.

The proposal sets out which design decisions, sourcing recommendations, and specifications I’m taking on. Purchasing or renting items, managing vendors, and setting up non-floral elements require their own agreed scope.

Optional On-Site Styling & Production

Styling and production can be added to either full-service offering when non-floral elements need to be placed and adjusted on site. The proposal identifies what I’ll handle and the staff and installation time required. Any breakdown, retrieval, or rental returns are agreed in advance.

Larger installations and spatial projects are scoped individually.

Investment

Full-service wedding flowers start at $5,500. If you’re looking for flowers for just a few parts of the day, I’m happy to consider a smaller commission. That could be personal flowers, a couple of tables, or a few focal arrangements. Tell me what you have in mind and the budget you’re working with, and we can see what makes sense.

A 40% retainer and signed service agreement reserve the date. The remaining 60% is due three weeks before the wedding.

A note for planners

Wedding Flowers FAQs

When should we reach out to book flowers?

Ideally 8–12 months ahead, especially for popular summer and fall dates. If you’re working with a shorter timeline, it’s still worth asking, since availability varies throughout the year.

What does your process look like?

Start with the inquiry form. If the date and scope look like a fit, we’ll schedule a call to talk through your plans and budget. I’ll follow up with a proposal. A signed agreement and 40% retainer reserve your date; the remaining balance is due three weeks before the wedding.

I handle floral production, delivery and the agreed installation. We’ll establish any breakdown, retrieval or rental-return arrangements in the service agreement, taking the venue’s requirements into account.

Where do your flowers come from?

Much of the material comes from Bucket Works and other growers across Southeast Michigan. I source additional flowers from specialty farms and suppliers as needed.

Do you ever use imported flowers?

Yes, selectively. I may use imports when a particular material is important to the design, has cultural significance, or isn’t available locally. I prioritize U.S.-grown flowers when possible.

Do you forage or use wild materials?

I don’t commercially forage from public or wild spaces. Occasionally, I cut material from the Bucket Works lot or from private land where I have permission.

Do you travel for weddings or events?

Yes. I regularly design throughout Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan, and travel for select destination weddings across the Great Lakes region and beyond. Travel fees vary based on distance, floral volume, and delivery or overnight needs.

How does this work with a planner or coordinator?

I work with your planner or coordinator on the floral installation and any styling or production included in my proposal. They retain the master timeline, guest services, general vendor coordination, and event flow. We confirm access, setup and breakdown responsibilities in advance so everyone knows what they’re handling.

Can I pick up my wedding flowers?

I prefer to deliver wedding flowers myself so I can make any finishing touches on site, including the bouquets. Studio pickup is a rare exception for orders consisting entirely of personal flowers and needs to be arranged in advance.

Do you offer DIY flower buckets?

I don’t offer DIY buckets. All wedding flowers are designed and arranged by me.
