About

I'm Casey, the owner and lead floral designer of Cultivate Event Co. That means I run the floral consultations, curate the floral recipes, execute the design elements for your big day, and so much more.

My aesthetic is lush and organic, and I live for color. I love everything from muted and muddy to bold and bright. Coordinating color palettes is one of my all-time favorite things to do (aside from designing flowers, playing with puppies, drinking coffee, and watching true-crime documentaries).

I live in Richmond, Virginia, with my sweet partner, Elliot. You may see us around the city taking a walk through Carytown, eating at the newest restaurant, performing improv at The Coalition Theater, or running around Lowe’s covered in paint picking up “one more thing” to finish renovating our new home.

Even though I live in Richmond now, I grew up just outside of Charlottesville, Virginia, and I feel most at home there. It’s always special for me when I get to return home to design weddings that have that gorgeous backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I believe the best wedding floral design is lush, timeless, and organic. I want to ensure that all of my clients receive the the highest-quality blooms available, so I source premium stems from all over the world, including Holland, Japan, and California. I also work with local farmers to gather the best seasonal flowers available for your event. Once I receive my product, each stem is checked for quality, color, and size, and if it doesn't meet my high standards, it's returned and replaced so you have the most gorgeous flowers possible.

I also maintain an ever-growing rental inventory full of various arbor structures, centerpiece vessels, candles, and votives in a variety of colors, heights, and textures to use for your event. And if I don't have something already in stock that you'd like to use, I'll source it for you. The use of all of these rental items is included in the initial estimate for my full-service clients.

Investments for full-service floral design begin at $4,000. However, on average, most clients invest between $5,000-$6,000 for floral design services.

Now that you know about me, I'd love to learn more about you and talk about how we can create the perfect floral design for your wedding. All of my work is custom, and pricing is based on your individiual needs and style. When you reach out with a request, if I have availability for your date, I'll respond with a request to schedule a quick phone call to learn a bit more about your event and needs. I look forward to speaking with you!

Unparalleled!

Going into our wedding planning process, we immediately knew that florals were the top priority for us. We were aiming for a lush, overgrown, springy, “secret garden” type of vibe, and Cultivate delivered just that…and more!

We didn’t have any prior knowledge of florals or the many ways they could be used in a wedding celebration. With the helpful guidance of my wonderful planner and Casey from the Cultivate team, we settled on a variety of arrangements that worked towards our desired mood…an organic, overgrown aisle and ceremony backdrop that could be moved to the reception during the cocktail hour; unique and low-contrast bouquets and boutonnieres; a variety of whimsically shaped arrangements in vases throughout the venue; greenery hung from literally every surface possible; and a massive hanging installation over the head table.

To say we were blown away was an understatement. It’s like someone took the feeling of wonder we hoped to evoke and turned the volume up to an eleven. The whole evening was so magical, and we felt totally all-encompassed by Cultivate’s beautiful creations. We feel so lucky to have had such a talented and dedicated team to help realize our vision! Thank you again!!

Casey and the team at cultivate are absolutely amazing florist and floral artists!! During the planning process, Casey continued to ask questions and really listened to really understand my vision, likes, and budget. She leads with patience, humor, and a true passion for her craft. On our wedding day I was absolutely blown away with how gorgeous everything turned out - Casey & the cultivate team really went above and beyond! Everything was beyond stunning! I would highly recommend cultivate events - we love them!!

An incredibly talented florist (and generally lovely person)!

I feel so fortunate to have gotten the chance to work with Casey! She was nothing less than kind, patient, informative and communicative throughout the entire planning process. She took my vague idea of what I wanted and developed it into something better than I could have possibly imagined. Her florals were absolutely the highlight of both the ceremony and the reception and she truly transformed our reception space into something beautiful. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
