Aster & Bee

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Jessica from Aster & Bee! She’s incredibly talented, communicative, detail-oriented, organized, and patient—always going above and beyond our expectations. Our wedding was a blend of Chinese and Western traditions with a chinoiserie-inspired style in a soft pastel palette, and Jessica was an amazing listener who truly brought our vision to life. Every floral element on our wedding day, from the bouquets to the altar arrangements, centerpieces, and accent pieces, was breathtakingly beautiful!

Throughout the six-month planning process, Jessica was prompt with email responses and consistently adjusted designs to make sure every detail was just right. She attended our final walkthrough, which lasted over four hours, created our last vase arrangement on-site, and set up the tablescaping on our wedding day with incredible dedication. Jessica also offered insights on design aspects outside of the floral arrangements—she even created several mood boards to help us choose our table linens.

On our wedding day, every arrangement exceeded our expectations in scale and beauty. The bridal bouquet turned out far larger than I imagined, and the four statement pieces at the altar were incredibly grand. Repurposed on the stairs in the ballroom, they looked majestic and impactful. The arrangements in our three chinoiserie vases were three times more lush than I ever anticipated. The color scheme, with soft pinks, blues, yellows, and touches of orange and coral, perfectly captured the essence of our fall wedding.

We can’t say enough good things about Jessica! She made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a florist, look no further—Jessica is absolutely amazing! Would recommend 200%!

Where to even begin, wow! Jessica knocked it out of the park when it came to our flowers. Truly every step of the way she was phenomenal, from our kickoff call, to the proposal, she was so incredibly thorough and asked amazing questions to help us understand if we were the right fit and ensured our visions were aligned. As we approached the big day, she was so detailed, provided amazing information and details, and then of course she absolutely crushed the execution. Guests have told us over and over that these were some of the best flowers they've ever seen. 10/10

The floral arrangements were beautifully designed! Jessica was very easy to work with and even got the exact flowers from my Pinterest board. She made a floral pocket square that I found on Instagram as well! Delivered bouquets right to my bridal suite and installed arch pieces with her team for a perfect day!

Jessica of Aster & Bee is genuinely an artist. When I first peaked into my reception hall I was amazed by how much her flowers elevated the space. I wanted all the colors and funky textures for my wedding florals, and she delivered. She incorporated hibiscus leaves and berries mixed in with the flowers to create the funky, jewel-colored centerpieces I'd always hoped for. I don't think anyone else could have pulled them off as wonderfully. We went back and forth on texture, size, and types of flowers, and she was always accommodating, flexible, and as sweet as can be. She is one of those people who truly puts her heart and soul into her work, and it shows. It took a lot of work to find a florist willing to work with me on vision, obtain most of their flowers locally, and have a modern flair to their design - but she was all those things and more. I kept sighing in utter bliss over my bouquet - it was the stuff of dreams. If you want to be surrounded by beautiful, ethereal things on your wedding day - Absolutely hire her.

Jessica at Aster & Bee is an absolute artist. She designed and selected the most stunning florals I could have ever dreamt of. I shared a vision for bright, full, and local wildflowers, and Jessica's product was above and beyond what I even thought was possible. Florals genuinely make your wedding day so much more beautiful, and we (and our guests!) were blown away at just how elevated the space felt once she delivered our flowers to the venue. Jessica is communicative, responsive (I kept adding florals to our established contract and she was always willing to make my dream happen), trustworthy, and a gem of a human. I literally just communicated a vision, then sat back entirely while she brought it to life. Thank you, Jessica and Aster & Bee team!

So thankful to have found Jessica. She is an amazing florist and small business QUEEN! If you're looking for a luxury experience and beautiful flowers for your wedding, she's your florist.

She responded to all my questions and emails the same day, and worked closely with my other vendors. I booked her a year out from my August wedding, and she would reach out to ask how planning was going and we kept in touch during that time. She also sourced a lot of my flowers from local Virginia flower farms, which was really important to me, as my partner and I try to support local businesses and wanted to incorporate that in our wedding. I asked Jessica if she could tell me what some types of flowers were in my bouquet (now I know they were dahlias and celosia) and she made me a "recipe card" so I can re-make the design in the future if I see the flowers locally. We have it framed and hanging up in our new house!

The florals were perfect! We had guests throughout the night ask who the florist was. The bridal bouquet looked even better than the reference picture I sent Jessica (the owner) when booking. She was so attentive and made a really great drawing of my arch installation before the day so we could better envision what it would look like. We both really appreciated how she took that extra step.

Aster and Bee (Jessica) was amazing to work with for my wedding!! She was prompt in all of her responses and the florals were exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend!

I am seriously in love with the florals that Jessica did for my wedding day! Please please please book her for your wedding day, you will not regret it! During the booking process she was great to work with! I really did not know much about flowers and just had a few inspiration photos and a color scheme. Jessica went and created a full vision board and design plan for our day that was above and beyond what I could have even imagined. When she delivered the flowers I almost cried because it was PERFECT. I cannot wait to see the photos our photographer got of our flowers! Thank you Jessica!

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding thanks to Aster and Bee! The florals were the only decor I had, and I had no regrets over that decision. Jessica helped us come up with a ceremony setup that we were even able to reuse for the reception! She was so great about answering questions and getting back to us quickly. The entire wedding felt truly enchanting, and I cannot believe the amount of florals we had for the price. We cannot recommend Aster and Bee enough!
