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!

Made My Dream Florals Come True!

The moment we met with Casey, I knew she was the one! Since day one of planning my wedding, I’ve known that florals were going to be a huge part of my ceremony and reception- as I told many family and friends beforehand, I wanted people to walk in and say “wow-look at those flowers!” before anything else. Casey made my vision come to life after our consultation in a way that made me think we were sharing a brain. Casey was flexible throughout the process, conscious of our budget, and willing to try any of the crazy ideas we threw at her!
Thank you Casey for making my garden party dreams come true-if you want jaw dropping florals, book Cultivate Event Co!!

Highly recommend!

Casey and her team did the flowers for our May wedding, and they were absolutely stunning. From the bouquets to the boutonnieres, from the flowers down the aisle to the decor for the reception, everything was so beautiful, with every flower, leaf, and vine thoughtfully designed. Casey and her team were so professional and easy to work with as well.

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!!

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!

Amazing to work with!

Casey is so wonderful to work with! When planning our floral designs, Casey was flexible as our plans changed as a result of covid. On the day of the wedding, I was amazed with how beautiful everything turned out, especially because it was even more so than what I expected. I highly recommend Casey for your wedding and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Unmatched!

Casey provided some of the most beautiful florals I've ever seen for an intimate wedding on a family farm. They were beyond beautiful, elegant, and classy, and I literally couldn't stop taking pictures of them. Casey has now set the bar for flowers for me! I can't recommend her enough.

Just amazing!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Casey is. She was truly a dream to work with for our September 2020 wedding. Casey understood my vision and executed it perfectly – and within our budget!. She was always so responsive and supportive with many last-minute changes due to COVID. Working with her was the best decision we made. You will definitely be in good hands with Cultivate Event Co.!

THE BEST Richmond florist!

Caseys florals were absolutely perfect. She created a style board for us online so we could narrow down our best options for florals ensuring she met all of our needs. On top of that, we had a small intimate wedding, so she customized a package with us to fit our budget since we didn't need a zillion bridal party things- she did a beautiful bride's bouquet, hairpiece, and boutonniere for us. We couldn't be more thankful for the detail and thought she put into her arrangements, plus she brought them personally the day of the wedding to make sure everything was perfect and to congratulate us on our big day!
