Custom event florals provide couples with a one-on-one floral design experience. As a custom floral design client you will work directly with me to customize each floral piece of your wedding. We will discuss flower types, colors and styles and you will be provided with a custom floral proposal after an initial consultation.
Custom floral design is available for weddings of all sizes, from 300 guests to elopements and micro weddings; if beautiful flowers are important to you, or you have a favorite flower or look that you love, or you envision elaborate ceremony or reception designs, then custom florals are for you!
If you like flowers but prefer to skip the custom design process, our Sweet Blossoms Collection might be a great fit! This collection provides the same quality as our Custom Floral Designs in a more streamlined process. Simply pick and order from our beautiful and ready-made designs.

We will start with a consultation call in which we create a floral "wish list" for your event. It's best to have inspiration images prepared for this call so that we can go over them together.
Within a week, you will receive a customized proposal with a color palette, mood board and inspiration images. I love to have a second phone call to go over the proposal.
A non-refundable retainer of 25% of the total contract plus a signed contract is what will save your date on our calendar.
Flexibility - Revisions are welcome, before and after signing, up to two weeks prior to your event.
Support - I do my best to respond to emails within 48 hours, with honest and direct communication.
Unique Designs - Flowers are hand chosen for each event; no generic, assembly line packages that you'll see in 10 other wedding galleries. I have never made the same thing twice.
Sustainability - sustainable flowers, sustainable business practices, event florals that you can feel great about.

custom pricing
I love to take inspiration from any images that are submitted, but every design is unique and is custom created for each client. Because every order is a custom order, it is nearly impossible to give a blanket pricing structure or packaged pricing.
Because it is important to me to create a custom design you, I highly recommend setting up a consultation so that we can discuss your specific needs. After the consultation, you will receive a proposal outlining your specific designs and pricing. Please fill out a Custom Inquiry Form to begin this process.
I recognize that having a general idea of pricing prior to inquiring can be helpful, so I do provide some base pricing costs below to give you a starting point with budgeting. Pricing can and is impacted by many factors, but these costs might be helpful in deciding whether custom florals are a good fit for you.
Pricing Starts At:
Boutonnieres: $20 and up
Corsages: $35 and up
Bridal Bouquet: $300 and up
Bridesmaid Bouquet: $125 and up
Centerpieces (short-bud vases/candles etc): $125 and up
Centerpieces (short-full floral centerpiece): $200 and up
Centerpieces (tall): $200 and up
Altar arrangements: $250 and up
Pew arrangements: $25-$50
Chuppah: $500 and up
Minimums, setup, etc:
This can be tricky, but here are some general rules of thumb:
Event Minimum for full setup/delivery within 30 miles: $3000
(higher on holiday weekends)
locations outside 30 miles (DC, Leesburg etc): $4000
(higher on holiday weekends)
Delivery with NO set up: 15% of subtotal or minimum $50
Delivery WITH set up starts at 20% of subtotal
OR items may be picked up from the studio, $50 fee
**Off-Season (Dec-March): Minimums may be dropped. Please
inquire! This may also be true in late summer (July/Aug),
depending on our calendar.**
There are many variables to take into consideration when determining a price for your special occasion’s design. Season, stem count, flower type/color, and design complexity are some of the most important variables that will influence cost and each custom wedding requires a custom pricing proposal.
I love to take inspiration from any images that are submitted, but every design is unique and is custom created for each client. Because every order is a custom order, it is nearly impossible to give a blanket pricing structure or packaged pricing.
Because it is important to me to create a custom design you, I highly recommend setting up a consultation so that we can discuss your specific needs.

My husband and I can't express enough how gorgeous all of the florals were for our wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was at the wedding. Blair listened to everything I wanted and translated it into more than I had dreamed of for my wedding. Florals for me were the most important thing next to the venue and I couldn't believe how she took my ideas and made them into the most beautiful reality. On the day of the wedding, she made us feel so relaxed and was in control of everything so we didn't have to worry. Her idea to do pocket squares was a such an amazing idea and they looked incredible in our photos and made us feel so elevated. I can't recommend her enough and if you want to be floored on your wedding day, you should 100% hire Blair to design your florals. She is the best and I will be recommending her to everyone I know. She helped to make the wedding of our dreams and the memories will last a lifetime for us! Thank you so much Blair!

“From our first conversation, I knew that Blair was the perfect florist for our wedding. I don’t know much about flowers, but I had a basic idea of what I wanted. Blair was so kind and patient, walking me through everything, and creating absolutely gorgeous arrangements that received compliments all night long! I especially love that she uses sustainable practices - her flowers are almost exclusively locally grown, and she doesn’t use foam in her arrangements."

“From the beginning of our conversations with Blair at Sweet Blossoms, I could tell that they were the ones for us. What started off as a VERY VAGUE idea of what we wanted for our tablescapes, Blair was willing to hop on the phone to talk through possibilities and then let her creativity run wild with the rest. Prior to us selecting Sweet Blossoms, Blair sent over a set of design ideas and it was clear that she got the vision of what we were wanting--which was simple tablescapes with lots of greenery and candles and a hint of drama. Blair was easy to communicate with and worked well with our wedding planner. The day of, the tablescapes turned out even better than I imagined. Definitely would work with her and her team again (and bonus is that a portion of her proceeds go to support the organization I am on the board for).”
