We are a team that met when we worked together as venue coordinators. We would usually jump in to help our clients decorate or manage their event which was outside of our responsibilities as venue coordinators, one owner even redid a bride’s bridal bouquet because she wasn’t happy with it. This began the process of forming our own small business, helping couples have the wedding of their dreams by providing gorgeous floral arrangements and decor rentals.

On 11/20/21 I had the wedding of my dreams . Thanks to Ava-Elise. These ladies were detail oriented, attentive, caring and supportive. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m looking forward to working with them again in future events.
