White-Glove Wedding Florists

Every wedding is a unique love story, and we’re here to help you tell yours through beautiful florals. Led by Mary Ziemba, our talented bridal team is passionate about creating stunning designs that capture your vision and bring your dream wedding to life.

Our journey together with you starts with a relaxed phone chat to get a feel for your style and vision. The true magic happens when we meet in person, surrounded by fresh blooms, to explore the perfect mix of colors, textures, and arrangements that will complete your big day. This hands-on approach lets you see and feel the flowers, exploring options for size, shape, color, with the guidance of a professional floral designer who has planned and executed floral designs for hundreds of weddings.

While Mary leads the design, we’re truly a collaborative team. Steve, along with our talented crew, often steps in to lend his expertise, especially on the larger decor elements that make your wedding unique. Our coordinators and clients alike often mention the warm, welcoming atmosphere we bring to every meeting, making sure that your experience with us is as beautiful as the flowers we create.

We’re here to guide you every step of the way and can’t wait to be part of your big day!
