About
Oleander, a Boutique Floral & Event Styling Studio, is the brainchild of Floral Stylist & Freelance Photographer, Cynthia Manchester. Her fine arts background, passion for the botanical, and keen sense of environmental design have established Oleander as New Jersey & Bucks County’s newest avant garde floral & event studio.
Cynthia has trained under some of New York and & Philadelphia’s most established floral designers & event stylists prior to opening her Millstone-based studio.
While she finds inspiration in well known designers like the celebrated Constance Spry and organic maven Francoise Weeks, she also draws upon bits of her client’s loves and lives. From a bride’s favorite decor piece to a family heirloom to a texture which conjures a comforting memory, she seeks to create thoughtfully detailed, highly personalized floral works & environments.
With an appreciation for both the classic and quirky, Cynthia’s floral aesthetic ranges from the simple and tailored to the loose and organic; sometimes romantic… sometimes sculptural.
Always a photographer, her passion lies in creating detailed pieces which celebrate the beauty of the fleeting. But best described by her clients as both floral stylist and “friendor”, her real ability rests in translating each client’s personal vision into truly timeless floral works.
Cynthia’s favorite bloom and texture: Her daughter Norah and that ever wild, wispy curly hair!

Cynthia of Oleander Florals & Events is a true artist. Her unique vintage style shows through in every piece she creates, whether she's using roses or mushrooms, her work is absolutely breath-taking. Flower are her passion and creating the setting of your dreams with flowers is her gift, placing each bud precisely where it belongs. Cynthia is a pleasure to work with; her bouquets and center pieces are inspirational. I'd highly recommend her to any bride.
We are looking forward to seeing Oleander's fabulous creations at Samantha Mochel and Taylor Evans' wedding ceremony & reception on September 22, 2013! I haven't stopped thinking about the last wedding Oleander did at Northampton Valley Country Club in the Spring. They were some of the most beautiful centerpieces I have ever seen! Oleander has a unique way of using flowers to create works of art.Can't wait to see what you have in store for Samantha and Taylor's Fall wedding!
