Amanda Burnette

Absolutely fabulous floral design, and a fantastic person to work with to boot! We worked with Amanda to do our wedding rehearsal dinner flowers and could not have been happier! If you've seen her work on social, you know she's talented at what she does, and I was so excited to work with her. What I learned is not only is she super talented but she is very communicative, thorough, super sweet, and just an overall dream vendor to work with. I had a hard time articulating my vision but somehow she just "got it" and the flowers that awaited me at the rehearsal dinner were even more beautiful that I could have imagined. Not only a beautiful design but the blooms themselves were gorgeous! I would rate her 100 starts if I could, 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Amanda was the first vendor we booked after deciding on our venue in fall 2019. What a deeply right, magical decision that turned out to be. Amanda initially appealed to us because of her stunning floral design and her clear commitment to social justice issues. But, after nearly two years of working together, we have realized now how valuable it is to work with someone who is passionate about their craft in the way Amanda is. It’s rare to encounter a vendor who so clearly is personally invested in her work and in connecting with her clients to create meaningful moments they can treasure for the rest of their lives.

Florals were by far the most important design aspect to us. Amanda never hesitated to indulge our questions and floral dreams with THE MOST enthusiastic, detail-filled emails a floral-obsessed bride could dream of. But what may be even more valuable than that is that Amanda was honest. Rather than just saying whatever might make us happy, Amanda was realistic if, say, because of, you know, nature, she could not promise we would get the EXACT shade of burgundy buds we stumbled upon via a random Instagram post. But she would explain what she could promise instead, and the result turned out to be more beautiful than we could have hoped for. The elegance of Amanda’s work—we were aiming for an enchanted secret garden chic Jumanji vibe—was even enough to completely distract from a very prominent design feature of our reception space we didn’t love. Her adoration of flowers and community shines through.

We have saved some flowers from our arrangements and are drying them as keepsakes. We’re so grateful to have these lasting reminders of the most special day. Thank you, Amanda!

Hiring Amanda Burnette was the first decision we made after my husband and I were engaged in November of 2020 because we knew there was no way our day would be complete without her incredible florals. After admiring her work for other weddings for so long, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to hire her and her work truly made our wedding vision come to life. Putting complete trust in her to make our floral design the star of the show, Amanda pulled together the most magical color palette and design, which not only complimented our other wedding day elements, but made it the most perfect, beautiful day I could imagine. Amanda is a true professional, highly skilled and knowledgeable and was the absolute best (and easiest) wedding vendor to communicate with: timely, clear, and kind, always going above and beyond to answer our (many) questions without hesitation. All we wanted was a simple but beautiful wedding but working with ABFD made it all that but also so much more. Thank you, Amanda, for making our day so stunningly beautiful.
