About

Born in Belgium, where flowers are an integral part of everyday life, Françoise trained with florists in Antwerp. She started her business venture in 1996 and has translated her passion for nature and the garden into a distinctive, lush and textural style. In her garden studio she has tied bouquets, woven garlands and composed original centerpieces for over five hundred weddings. Through the imaginative use of flowers, herbs, fruits and foliage, Françoise has become highly skilled at translating fresh ideas into exquisite reality; her portfolio reflects an elegant, natural simplicity to the lush, bountiful and unexpected. Françoise's first priority is to realize the ideas and needs of her clients and bring to the process her attention to detail and unique creativity.

Francoise is a one of a kind florist! Her creations were superb, stunning, unique and memorable at our wedding. I was so in love with my bouquet, I could stop showing it to people with all its little details and treasures. I wish I could fill my house with her designs all the time! I highly recommend her if you are looking for something unique and special. She is also quite wonderful to work with.

Francoise provided beautiful, organic looking, very original and artistic flowers for our wedding and was so easy to work with. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a bit different and very elegant approach.

Françoise was an absolute delight to work with! She was prompt in response and an expert when it comes to floral varieties and seasons. The wedding bouquets were better than I could have even hoped for. The colors, textures, variety and details in each bouquet made it very evident that Françoise had made each with painstaking care and attention to detail. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Francoise Weeks is not only an amazing florist but she is a true artist who loves creating beautiful works of floral art. I fell in love with all of the pieces on her website instantly but was afraid she would be completely outside our budget. After reading another review which said that Francoise was willing to work with her budget, I decided to go out on a limb and give her a call. Francoise was really warm and receptive to my call, understood our budget constraints and was more than happy to work with us in creating floral arrangements for our wedding which we would love and could afford. Due to our budget constraints, the centerpieces were smaller than we had initially wanted, but were so beautifully put together that we didn't regret our decision at all (except wishing that we had spent more money on the flowers!). Francoise did all our bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres and some extra pieces for our ceremony--she did a fantastic job on everything! Give her a call, you won't regret it!

Everything that Francoise created was GOREGOUS!!!! Thank you!!! I am not a fan of flowers.. I know, crazy! So when we were trying to come up with something that did not revolve around flowers.. Francoise knew exactly what to do! I did have flowers but that was not the focus and she made it look beautiful! She is extremley creative and she knew exactly what I wanted without me specifically telling her!!!

Francoise Weeks was recommended to me by Papa Haydn cakes in Portland. I am so glad that I found her. I had seen a boutique of hers in Portland Wedding magazine and had it ripped out when I was searching for what I wanted for my boutique so when Papa Haydn’s told me about her I knew it was perfect. I met with her at her beautiful home in Portland to go over what I wanted. She is the kindest most positive woman that I met. She is so sweet and listened to my ideas and shared some of her own ideas. She also made my cake topper of flowers. I had a small wedding so I picked up my boutique the day of the wedding. It had some extra light pink roses in the boutique that I didn’t like when I saw in real life and without hesitation pulled the boutique apart and fixed it to exactly what I wanted. The boutique was beautiful in real life dark pink roses and fuchsia garden roses with a touch of lime green in it. In the pictures the flowers were even more dramatic and striking then in real life. The flowers were exquisite and were the perfect touch to complement the dress.

Francoise has a style all her own. Once you know her work, you would recognize it anywhere! She is incredibly talented, professional, and personable. She worked within my budget to make sure I got the number of arrangements, style and flowers I wanted. She was very prompt when responding to emails or phone calls. She was a team player when coordinating efforts with our other vendors. Most people have to beg their guests to take centerpieces home. We had people asking if they could take more than one. The only down side of Francoise work, was that I couldn't keep her beautiful floral art forever! My bridal bouquet literally brought me to tears.

When I saw Francoise's artistic magic, I loved her work immediately, but was certain we couldn't afford her. However, I decided to contact her anyway. I am so glad that I did!! I actually almost started crying when I talked with Francoise the first time because she was so empathetic, knowledgeable and helpful and I knew I would be able to afford beautiful flowers for our wedding.

We didn't want anything too fancy, but classic simple elegance (but not stereotypcial) for a simple outdoor wedding. Francoise did this perfectly and even helped us pick more economical options to stay within our budget (i.e. dahlias rather than peonies). In fact, she even gave us decorating tips in general to help us keep our decorating costs under control.

LOVED LOVED LOVED our wedding flowers. We couldn't have been more happy and Francoise is joy to work with. She is a true artist and a professional!

Our wedding planner, Amy Nuttman of Blush Bridal, recommended Francoise Weeks and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Francoise did a fantastic job of providing unique table centerpieces and other arrangements for food/bar service, ceremony flowers and bridal bouquet and other personal flowers. When we started out, our "theme" was somewhat nebulous--I guess you could call it "Outdoor Portland Eco-wedding." Francoise expanded on our vague ideas and hit it perfectly. Everyone commented on the loveliness and originality of the flowers and natural materials. Go to her website, look at her portfolio and see why you can't go wrong with this fantastic lady, a gem to work with.

I cannot say enough great things about Francoise and her floral design...they are both top notch! Not only does she create beautifully-detailed, extraordinary arrangements but she is one of the friendliest and kindest wedding professionals in Portland. As a wedding coordinator I've worked with a variety of florists and no one offers the quality of flowers, creativity, and level of service that she does. Francoise is an expert on many types of flowers and can offer couples unique ideas on what will look best depending on their color scheme, style and budget. I give her my highest recommendation and hope you will consider her for your very special day!

Francoise is one of the most talented floral designers I've met. She has a knack for using unusual materials in her arrangements, from vegetables to succulents to anything she can find, and they always come out looking amazing. I recommend Francoise very highly!
