The BEST florist out there

You can’t find better than Urbanbotanist!! We are beyond grateful for Ashley's exceptional work as our wedding florist! The entire process working with Ashley was amazing. From our first consultation to the final arrangements on our wedding day, Ashley exceeded all our expectations.
Ashley took the time to understand our vision, and also helped me with design ideas and she brought it to life beautifully the day of the wedding. The bouquets, centerpieces, arbor and ceremony arrangements were absolutely stunning and perfectly complemented the theme of our wedding. Her choice of flowers and colors was exquisite, and she ensured that every floral arrangement was fresh and vibrant. Ashley was responsive to our questions and flexible with any changes we wanted to make. Her experience and expertise were evident in every aspect of her work, and she offered valuable suggestions that enhanced the overall aesthetic of our wedding. She really has SUCH great taste and I was so grateful for her input. On the day of the wedding, Ashley was so organized and efficient. Everything looked even more beautiful than we had imagined. The quality of her work truly made our wedding day extra special and memorable.
We received so many compliments from our guests about the flowers, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a talented and dedicated florist who will bring your wedding vision to life with stunning floral arrangements, we wholeheartedly recommend Ashley. Thank you Ash, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Ashley is amazing!

I am so happy I worked with Ashley for my wedding! She is passionate and knowledgeable about what she does and wants to bring your vision to life. We gave her a challenge and she blew us away – people are still talking about the florals! Everything from the centerpieces, bouquets, trees, and floral installation brought our vision to life! She was easy to communicate with, very easy going and extremely patient. I would highly recommend working with Ashley for any special occasion!

Do not hesitate to book with The Urban Botanist!

Ashley did a phenomenal job with our wedding. She genuinely cared about the product she was giving us and always took the time to answer any questions we had and sit down with us to better understand our vision for our wedding. We felt as though competing florist options would have put us in a position to sacrifice what we wanted and go for something more generic, but Ashley did not do that at all!

The wedding was truly so beautiful with the help of Ashley’s work and the wedding bouquet is exactly what we envisioned. Ashley is a true artist and you should not hesitate to book with her!

100% the best decision you can make

Hiring Ashley was sincerely the best thing we did for our wedding. Whenever people ask me to nail down a single favorite aspect of my wedding, I say my wedding flowers. From start to finish, Ashley blew us away with her knowledge, flexibility, organization, and especially her creativity. I was extremely indecisive throughout my wedding planning, switching from bright colors, to all white, and finally back to sunset toned colors, and Ashley gave me thoughtful, honest, and supportive feedback each time. What blew me away the most, is that Ashley was able to take my inspiration photos, color palate, and favorite flower selections and create arrangements so far beyond my what I could dream up. She made sure my wedding florals were uniquely fit to my personality, taste, and vision. To this day almost one month later, I still receive compliments on my wedding flowers. The way Ashley designed and placed my wedding florals brought everything I spent so much time planning together and made my wedding design truly special. Even down to my dress and my bridesmaids dresses, the bouquets Ashley made elevated our looks beyond my expectations. I recommend Urban Botanist for any of your floral needs, big or small. I will be using Urban Botanist for any arrangements I need in the future because her creations are simply in a category of their own, and that is obvious to everyone who experiences her work. Thank you so much Ashley and the Urban Botanist team!!!

Most incredible wedding florals!

Booking The Urban Botanist is easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Ashley is so talented and selected the most beautiful combination of flowers for us - I was blown away and they were more incredible than I could have ever imaged. Our guests were also so impressed (I am still getting compliments!), and every single centerpiece was gone as soon as our event ended. Ashley is easy to work with, flexible, and responsive and her prices are very reasonable. I will definitely use The Urban Botanist again for any future floral needs and highly recommend them - you can trust Ashley 1000% to deliver on your vision and can have peace of mind knowing your florals will be absolutely perfect. Thank you Ashley for creating the most beautiful florals for our wedding day!

Top Tier Florist

Ashley did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. I had been following her on instagram for a couple of years. After we got engaged I instantly booked her. I had no idea what I wanted but she worked with me and put something together. Later on I really got a vision thanks to my amazing wedding planner and we redid everything more than doubling the order. She had no problem, offered ideas, and the end product…was nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend!!

Best florist ever!

Ashley was the best florist I could have asked for. I was looking for someone who was easy to talk to, would hear me out, and understood the vision I wanted. I knew I loved her from our first consultation. I was looking for a boho modern vibe for my wedding and she delivered beyond measure! She was reasonably priced for all the things she did, I got quotes from other florists for the same thing and some where 2-3x more than her. She was upfront and honest and incredibly reliable. She really is a hidden gem, I wouldn't have found her without searching through instagram high and low for a ct florist. HIRE HER! She is the sole reason for the ambiance created at my wedding and it was pure magic.
