Floral + Event Design


I've always been inspired by the language of flowers. I truly believe there is meaning behind every bloom I choose for a client. I have the best job in the world, I get to create beautiful arrangements for all types of people and occasions. It is something that is so simple but so very special to me. My hope is that I bring joy to other peoples lives through the language of flowers.


“Ellie made all my flower dreams come true! She offered options to help us select what was best for our budget and design. The flowers themselves were a work of art and everyone complimented them for weeks after the wedding itself. She's a visionary and I can't recommend her enough.”

“Ellie is amazing. I love flowers and knew I wanted them to be an important focal point of our wedding day. Ellie understood my vision immediately and helped me fine tune the details. She is so creative and talented and so much fun to be around. Everything was stunning from the halo installation on the altar to the bouquets to the trees she rented for us. I was beyond impressed with her work and all of our guests kept commenting about how beautiful the flowers were. One of my bridesmaids said our bouquets looked like they had been picked straight from the garden which is EXACTLY what I told Ellie I wanted in our consultation. She totally nailed it. I will forever be grateful that we chose Ellie to be our florist for our day and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for gorgeous blooms for an event or every day living. You can’t go wrong with The Budding Florist!”
