I had the amazing opportunity to meet Hannah in 2019 when we were originally planning my wedding for May of 2020. Although the world had other plans, and we eventually moved the wedding to July 2021, Hannah never missed a beat. As our plans kept changing, Hannah was there with unique, creative ideas to make sure that our vision came to life. Hannah is the living definition of creativity. She is the most patient, caring person with a heart of gold. The work that her and her team did at my wedding was miraculous. Hannah and her talented team created amazing flower crowns, bouquets, pocket gardens, and not one, not two, not three, but FOUR separate spaces. Each felt like we were in a floral wonderland as you can see below. People were talking about the floral installations long after our wedding was over, and almost a year later, I am still dreaming about them. Choose Hannah to turn your event into a dream. I am so lucky and grateful that I chose her for mine!!

You never really know what you're going to get with flowers! Mother nature, sourcing, availability, delivery — so many variables. Pinning gobs of examples in advance we certainly had a vision of what we wanted. Our wedding theme was “Wicked Garden” because it brought together two of our favorite movies, Suspiria (1977) and the Secret Garden (1993). Floral design was naturally an essential part of the event. Speaking with Hannah and receiving a proposal quickly gave us confidence that she "got it".

Hannah and her team were probably the first ones to arrive at the venue that day and were in the process of unloading when we arrived. As we moved around the venue getting ready, each sneak peek we got in the setup process was a treat. They methodically put everything together across two floors in such an impressively short amount of time. The best surprise was that Hannah had successfully sourced the elusive smoke bush. She had carefully managed our expectations leading up to the wedding but when the time came, she did it!

The show stopper was a hanging backdrop for the ceremony. We had seen things like this on Pinterest before but Hannah's execution was beyond our highest expectations. It was ethereal and while photos totally do it justice, experiencing it in person was something else. Another memorable moment was while we were taking portrait photos we stumbled into a room where all of the materials had been unloaded. Being surrounded by everything and smelling the freshness boosted the magical wedding vibes that carried us into the ceremony.

We actually still have a centerpiece on our dining table that has remarkably stayed together well in dried form and remains beautiful. Hannah also gifted us a venus fly trap before the wedding and we're happy to report it is still alive =)

Hannah brought our wedding to life and took our breath away with a floral design that transformed our venue. Not only was Hannah an absolute dream to work with, but she also translated our open-ended direction and unique space into something we loved. We felt Hannah’s genuine presence from day one, walking us through different styles and approaches in our first in-person meeting to seeing the custom floral collar she created for our dog, Stevie. Hannah brought together a design that was exactly what we were looking for - with unique touches like a greenery-wrapped swing and the detail on Liz’s bridesmaid's hoops instead of a traditional bouquet. Hannah’s wedding arch installation also became an additional centerpiece and backdrop guests took photos in front of after the ceremony.

During the entire planning process and even with us before the ceremony that day, Hannah’s amazing energy clearly translated seamlessly into the floral design. Basilica Hudson is a unique space where the floral can play a special role in the experience. Hannah hit the target dead on, striking the balance between warmth and vibrancy - safe to say that Hudson Botanica transformed our event.
