Colorful people & wildly in love

Sculptural, colorful, a little funky. Structure underneath, wildness on top — the kind of celebration your guests walk into and think, “this is so them.”

hi, I'm the human behind the flowers

Meet Karla

Trained as an architect, I give every celebration real structure — depth, scale, where the eye lands — then let it grow wild with color and a little bit of drama. The flowers should feel like they were born right there. Some of them were: they come from my own garden.

I don't start with the flowers. I start with the two of you.

How it works

easy, promise

Booking a Hudson Valley wedding florist should feel easy. Same five steps every time — but where they land is entirely yours.

  1. Say hello

    Send the inquiry. I read every one myself and reply within 48–72 hours.

  2. Discovery call

    A video chat to vibe-check, talk details and dream a little.

  3. Your proposal

    A visual proposal, drawn to scale, within 48–72 hours.

  4. Fine-tune

    A follow-up call for questions, tweaks and budget fit.

  5. It's official

    Contract and retainer lock your date. Then we get to work.

Let's talk details

A few things couples usually want to know about budgets, locations and what happens after you say hello.

How much should I budget for wedding flowers?

Every wedding is custom, so there isn’t one honest number that fits every celebration. Your floral budget depends on the venue, scale and the pieces that matter most to you. Share the range you’re considering in the inquiry, and I’ll shape our first conversation around what it can do.

Where do you design weddings?

I’m based in New York’s Hudson Valley and design weddings throughout the region. If your venue is farther afield, add the location to your inquiry and I’ll let you know what’s possible.

What is your wedding floral design process?

We start with your inquiry, then meet for a discovery call to talk through the day and dream a little. From there, I create a visual proposal drawn to scale, we fine-tune the details and budget together, and a contract and retainer make it official.

Do I need a venue and every detail figured out first?

Not at all. Your date and venue can both be undecided when you reach out. Tell me what you know, what you’re drawn to and what still feels fuzzy. We can start there.

Will our wedding flowers feel completely custom?

Yes. The process has a clear structure, but the result starts with who you are, not a package or a look I repeat. The goal is for you to walk in and immediately recognize yourselves in the space.

How quickly will I hear back after I inquire?

I read every inquiry myself and reply within 48–72 hours. If it feels like a fit, the next step is a video call where we can meet, talk through your celebration and ask all the questions.
