About

Hi! I'm SJ.

I've been designing florals for Northern Vermont destination weddings for 23 years, and I've learned that the best celebrations happen when couples trust the creative process. I work from my private studio, designing every element personally. While I have a trusted team who helps with setup on your wedding day, every design decision is mine. This is intentional. It means your florals get my complete attention and unique attention to detail.

I'm not interested in filling orders or churning through as many weddings as possible. I'm interested in understanding who you are, what you're trying to create, and then bringing that vision to life in a way that exceeds your expectations.

​With only one wedding per weekend and limited dates available each year, I can give your celebration the focus it deserves.

You might be my ideal client if:

  • You're planning a destination wedding in Northern Vermont

  • Your celebration has up to (or around) 150 guests

  • Floral design is a priority for your event

  • You want a designer, not someone to fill an order

  • You value the consultation process and collaboration

  • You're ready to trust someone with two decades of experience to bring your vision to life

We might not be the right match if:

  • You're looking for a large design team for an ultra-luxury production

  • You prefer to dictate exactly what you want without design input

  • Budget is your only consideration

If you're getting married in Northern Vermont at one of our reknowned four-season resorts, wedding barns, or private venue and the visual aesthetic of your day is a priority, we should chat!

I have worked with hundreds of couples over the years they consistently tell me their florals exceeded their expectations—that's always my goal.

Let's create something beautiful together!

Exceeded All Expectations!

SJ and her team were incredible! From our first phone call to the final installations, it was true they really heard our vision. I was truly blown away when I got to see everything set up. It was clear that no corners were caught and the quality of both her work and the flowers themselves were top notch. Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful the floral arrangements were and how her placements of all the decorations truly transformed our venue. You will not be disappointed!

The Magic Flower Fairy

I cannot express how thankful we were to have SJ as part of our wedding day. From the very first planning session through to the big day, she was incredibly communicative, flexible, and open to every idea we brought to the table. What started as one vision completely shifted with some changes, and SJ handled it all with a smile.

The result was breathtaking! Our guests raved about the flowers for days, and we were lucky enough to take so many of them home to enjoy throughout the following week.

If you’re considering booking SJ, don’t hesitate—just do it. She’s simply the best.

Absolutely Stunning!

I wholeheartedly recommend Creative Muse Floral Design, for any couple looking for truly exceptional wedding florals! SJ's creativity and artistic vision brought our wedding to life in ways we never could have imagined.
From the moment we shared our vision with SJ, she understood exactly what we wanted - flowers that were vibrant, joyful, and perfectly captured the natural, organic feel we were hoping for. What SJ delivered was nothing short of magical! The arrangements were incredibly colorful and fun, yet sophisticated and beautifully designed. Every bouquet, centerpiece, and floral accent felt fresh and alive.
We were thrilled to learn SJ would use locally grown flowers whenever possible, which aligned perfectly with our values and added such a special, authentic touch to our celebration. You could truly feel the difference - the blooms were incredibly fresh and vibrant, and knowing they came from the local community made them even more meaningful.
SJ's creativity shines through in every arrangement. She has an incredible ability to take your ideas and elevate them into something even more beautiful than you envisioned. The florals didn't just decorate our wedding; they became an integral part of the atmosphere and story of our day.
Working with SJ was an absolute pleasure. She is professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about their craft. If you want florals that are stunning, sustainable, and perfectly tailored to your vision, Creative Muse Floral Design is the florist for you!
Our wedding flowers exceeded every expectation, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful, natural atmosphere she helped create for our special day.
Thank you!

Floral vision came to life!

Working with SJ at Creative Muse for our wedding florals was everything that we needed. Neither of us knew what we were looking for in our bouquets, but SJ took the time to ask us about our relationship, how we are as individuals, the vibe of our wedding and created the most beautiful bouquets, splash, and cake decoration that we could ask for. SJ was flexible, attentive, and thoughtful every step of the way. She truly brought our vision to life! Thank you, SJ for everything!!

Extraordinary Floral Talent

SJ is an incredible floral artist. She did an extraordinary job working with us to establish a decorative vision for our wedding, and executed it with creativity, artistry, and joy! Our flowers were more beautiful than we could have imagined, thanks to SJ and her team. And, she’s as lovely and kind as she is talented! We are so grateful for her, and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Incredibly personalized and beautiful!

I enjoyed my experience with SJ from the start! Of all the florists I talked to, I knew she was the one right away due to her attention to detail in our initial call which made me feel like she would bring my vision to life, whatever that vision may be. As far as florals go, I knew how to describe my "vibe" but did not have any sense of what exact flowers I wanted or how to turn that "vibe" into a reality. SJ made me feel so comfortable and like it was okay to not know everything, and that I was in good hands. As some pieces of my vision changed in the months leading up to the wedding, SJ was so helpful in working through what it would take to achieve everything I wanted. My venue was beautiful as is, but I cannot even describe the way SJ and her team were able to transform it. It was absolutely stunning!

Loved working with SJ!

I loved working with SJ! She was communicative, helped me think out what I wanted my vision to look like and even had ideas of her own that we ended up using! I especially wanted sunflowers displayed somewhere on the day but not in my actual bouquet, and SJ came up with a great idea to display them near our signing station. Everything was exactly the way I wanted it! I always felt relived after a phone call with her too!

Floral Vision Exceeded Expection

CreativeMuse was one of the best wedding decisions I've ever made! The attention to detail, creative ideas, and flexibility really made me beyond satisfied as a client. Because I was on a budget, I was worried my vision would be completely changed, but it wasn't! SJ created a plan proposal that touched on everything I desired! I'll always remember walking into my venue and seeing the perfectly placed florals/greenery arranged throughout the room. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't use CreativeMuse. I'm thankful such a core memory was made because of this stand out vendor.

Absolutely brought our vision to life!

I cannot recommend Sarah Jo & Creative Muse enough! The flowers at our wedding were truly AMAZING! After talking through our style and wedding vision, she was able to perfectly nail the look we were hoping for! The flowers and greenery she crafted took our barn venue to a whole other level - transforming it into an elegant, dreamy space. My bouquet was absolutely stunning!!! The arbor piece, table greenery, and aisle arrangements were all to die for too! Our day would not have been nearly as beautiful without her incredible eye for design and detail. I truly loved working with Creative Muse!!
