Beverly’s journey with each couple begins with a simple but essential step: checking her availability. If she’s free to bring your floral dreams to life, she quickly follows up with an email to schedule a consultation. This is where the magic begins, as she takes the time to understand your vision, preferences, and everything you hope for in your wedding flowers.

After the proposal lands in your inbox, the ball is in your court to review, request any changes, and secure your date with a 25% deposit.
Beverly takes great care in selecting the best flowers for your big day. She orders them 4-6 weeks in advance, ensuring they arrive fresh and vibrant 5-4 days before the wedding. Whenever possible, she sources locally, but she also works with floral wholesalers and farms in South America to get the perfect blooms! The result? Gorgeous arrangements that are worth every penny.
