I grew up in a florist shop and always loved flowers. When faux flower became so good they were fooling gardeners and bees, I knew this business would be good for everyone. I can help save the environment as well as make wedding ceremonies absolutely stunning! I specialize in making the ceremony site dazzle with large floral pre-made instillations. These florals can be moved, for a small relocation fee, to your reception to make a dynamic sweetheart, cake table or entryway. I do not offer centerpieces or bouquets. I have found most brides want these fresh. I do however carry single rose bud centerpieces in white, pink or red only.

  • Starts at $1,450

If you’ve landed here, my guess is you want the perfect balance. Someone who will give you direction during your couple’s portraits, while avoiding making you feel like you’re on the MET gala red carpet during your ceremony. I’m here to help you feel at ease, to make jokes, to reassure you everything and nothing matters all in the same breath. I take years of stealthy concert photography skills and apply that to documenting the candid familial embrace. The wild shirtless last dance of the evening. The moment when you two look at each other after all the speeches are done, and you realize how wonderful it is to be showered with so much love.

“Jess was an absolute dream to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which honestly made such a difference on a day that can be a little overwhelming. Her eye for capturing the real, beautiful moments—both big and small—is just incredible. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the whole day in the best way. She’s warm, grounded, and so talented. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Having Alicia as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding day was the perfect choice, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alicia is truly amazing at her craft. She did my hair for my engagement shoot, and I was blown away by how beautiful it looked. She also did my makeup for my bridal shower, and I received so many compliments from friends and family. I knew that having her do BOTH my hair and makeup on my wedding day was going to result in something absolutely stunning, and she did not disappoint. Alicia is not only incredibly talented, but she's also a joy to work with. She is professional, yet chill and easy to talk to. She really understands the vibe you're going for, and nothing feels forced. Alicia makes it a priority to ask about your preferences—what you do and don’t like—so she can make all the right adjustments after hair and makeup trials. By the time the wedding day came, I had complete confidence that she would give me exactly what I envisioned. And when she handed me the mirror after completing my hair and makeup, I CRIED. She absolutely nailed it. The look she created was beautiful, dreamy, sexy, chic, and timeless all at once—it was exactly what I wanted. Our wedding guests couldn’t stop gushing over how beautiful I looked, and I felt like a true version of myself, only more polished and radiant than ever before. Alicia delivered more than just a look; she made me feel incredibly confident and stunning on my special day. A huge shoutout as well to makeup artists Maila and Kate, who helped with hair and makeup for my bridal party. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous, and they were all so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out. Maila and Kate were both so sweet and accommodating, ensuring that each lady loved their final look. The entire team made the experience feel effortless and fun, and our bridal party was truly glowing. If you’re looking for a hair and makeup artist who is not talented but also easy to work with and truly listens to your vision, Alicia is your person. She made my wedding day even more unforgettable, and I’m so grateful for her expertise and professionalism.”

“What an amazing experience working with Joey. He was very thoughtful in curating the music for our day and I hope you find what you are looking for with him. I am a wedding vendor of 15 years as well doing hair, makeup and morning concierge. One of my past brides at one of my most favorite venues to work at is how I was introduced to Joey. After coming out of the hair room I love taking a moment to walk around the venue and there he was playing the cello along with some background music. I was hooked. I love that he was incorporating songs of today with the art of an instrument. I found it unique and something I wanted to showcase at my wedding. I didn’t want people to walk up to just music playing in the space, but an experience. Joey took the time to do 2 calls with us, one being over the phone and the second being over zoom. He came with a detailed questionnaire of how we wanted our wedding to go. It was so detailed that even a music mood girl I didn’t even think of. The calls were scheduled for 30 minutes but he didn’t hesitate to chat with me for over an hour on how I wanted it to be curated. I had already started 2 wedding playlists, but he added and sent me 5 to 6 albums to fill out of songs I loved and wanted. I had over 10 hours of music to play and not only did he take those into consideration he added music that my guests also requested. He even accepted me saying change this song and only play the 10 year olds music every 10 songs He needed to set up in two spaces, one for the ceremony which was outside on our property. He was set up and playing by the time guests arrived. Everyone I spoke with loved the music selection, which I told him “Bridgerton vibes” and he ran with it. After the ceremony his assistant had music playing for the cocktail hour while they broke down the equipment in the ceremony area. I was blown away by the lights that were brought and the look of everything. Microphones worked for speeches and he even had a stand for those who wanted to use them. We didn’t do a traditional walk in but he announced us perfectly and we ran around the tables saying hello to our friends and family. I would recommend Joey to anyone looking to have an experience for their guests, have a DJ but also want strings all in one. He was professional, timely and for someone who did not have a day of coordination or planner very informative. I wanted vendors to do what they do best and I’m glad I trusted him to provide us with music throughout the day and night!”

“Ali is literally the best wedding coordinator a couple could ask to have. From the moment we first spoke with her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that we would have a smooth wedding planning experience and stress free wedding day. Although the stress is inevitable, Ali lifted a ton of weight off of our shoulders the entire last month leading up to our wedding and the wedding day was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. Our only regret was not choosing full service planning with Ali and only going with month-of! We can't imagine the process going smoothly without Ali and her team and highly recommend her to all of our friends and family. She helped us more than we could have ever hoped – from always being available to give us advice on any decisions we had to make, big or small, to making sure we truly were able to enjoy and not worry about anything but being present on our wedding day. There are so many behind-the-scene logistical challenges that we did not even notice until we thought about it after the wedding and realized were handled by her team. We were able to trust her 100% in any stylistic choices because we know she has a good eye for aesthetics and making our vision come to life. She took the time and effort to learn what we as a couple uniquely like, and made sure that everything was perfect on the wedding day. Ali’s experience and advice are what makes her planning invaluable, even the smallest things you might not think about can make such a big difference on how the day pans out. We genuinely don’t think our wedding would have been possible without her and her expert team!”

She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun.

“We reached out to Becca when we realized our wedding celebration day was going to be too much for ourselves or even trusted friends and family to coordinate on our big day. This ended up being the best decision we made for planning! Becca truly loves what she does and you can tell by how much care and thoughtfulness she put into every detail. She met with us multiple times while we were planning, helped us immensely with scheduling our timeline, and reached out to every single vendor so that they would reach out to her instead of us—which was so helpful as things got busier and busier! She also helped by making customized decals for our signage/mirrors and completely saw the vision for how decor would look! On the big day Becca was our biggest supporter—picking up our florals, arriving at the venue extra early, cut and arranged flowers for tables, decorated every table, organized drinks, made sure they stayed cold, and handled every detail for our entire timeline! Someone gave me advice early on to do whatever I could so that I could feel like a guest at my own wedding, and not have to make any decisions or answer big questions. Because we reached out to Becca and got her day of coordinator services that came true for us and I am so thankful!”

“I had the opportunity to work with Parched Poppies recently for a wedding with a welcome drink, multiple bar setups in different locations and a tight timeline. I have done the same setup with multiple mobile bar services and it is never any easy task to pull this off and to do it well. Parched Poppies was a refreshing surprise and absolutely killed it for setup, professional bar service, amazing and delicious cocktails, keeping the guests hydrated without lines and being an amazing vendor to communicate and work with from start to finish! All the things I hope and wish for my clients when hiring a mobile bar service! Parched Poppies set the bar standard high for professional mobile bar services and all the packages and add-ons they offer. I can tell they love what they do and will be referring them to future clients as a preferred vendor. I cannot wait to work with them again soon.”

Stephanie Marie Morris has spent 15+ years in the event industry: fueled by the social impact, togetherness, and love that each carefully-planned event has imparted onto its guests. With a sociological background + training in event design + planning, & her detail-oriented eye; Stephanie approaches each Wedding as an opportunity to connect to each client's innermost desires, while fostering memorable relationships. Just as each individual has a unique fingerprint, molded by inherent characteristics and shaped by experiences; Stephanie strives to identify that unique vision that each couple has, to then craft an event that resonates :)

“There are truly not enough words to describe how exceptional Stephanie is as a wedding planner. She is, without a doubt, the absolute best. Planning our wedding in under a year while I was balancing graduate school out of state seemed like an impossible task, but Stephanie made it not only achievable but also enjoyable. From the very beginning, she took the time to really listen to my vision and understood exactly what I wanted—then she brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations at every turn. Despite the challenges I faced with my hectic schedule, Stephanie always made the process feel stress-free, fun, and exciting. One of Stephanie's standout qualities is her incredible attention to detail. Her organizational skills are unparalleled, and she kept everything on track from start to finish. I never had to worry about missing a deadline or forgetting a detail because she was on top of everything. She is also incredibly responsive—no matter how busy I got, I always knew I could count on her for quick, thoughtful answers. Stephanie’s extensive network of vendors is another major asset. She introduced us to some truly wonderful people who fit our personalities and vision perfectly. Whether it was the photographer, florist, DJ, or hair & makeup team, each vendor Stephanie recommended was top-notch and played a crucial role in bringing our dream wedding to life. Her relationships with these vendors made a huge difference in the quality of service we received and made the planning process run smoothly. When it came time for the big day, Stephanie truly shined. She handled every challenge with grace and poise—whether it was navigating a snowy weekend forecast or managing family dynamics (as we all know, this can be a delicate task!). Her calm demeanor, problem-solving skills, and level-headed approach allowed my husband and me to completely relax and enjoy our special day without a single worry. Stephanie’s thoughtful, caring, and thorough approach to the entire wedding process made all the difference. We never felt like we were just another couple on her list; we felt like we were her priority every step of the way. Thanks to Stephanie, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we will be forever grateful for her support and expertise. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only highly skilled and organized but also genuinely caring and passionate about creating a memorable experience for you, Stephanie is the one. She is truly a gift, and I cannot recommend her enough!”
