Let’s chat

THE CONSULTATION

The best art stems from connection—so we always start with a good ol’ fashioned conversation. We’ll hop on a phone call to learn all about your story, the feel and style of your celebration, and what you’re envisioning for your wedding flowers.

Vision time

THE PROPOSAL

Keep your eyes on your inbox for the best (and prettiest) email attachment of your week. Your custom proposal distills down the big ideas we discussed on our phone call into bite-sized information and beautiful imagery—giving you a clear idea of the look, feel, and cost of your wedding flowers.

Vibe Check

THE REVIEW

We’ll hop on the phone once more to go over your proposal and ensure we got your style just right. Let us know what you loved and where we might need to make adjustments—and we’ll get to fine-tuning.

Say Yes

THE SIGNING

After your final proposal makes its way to you, you’ll sign a contract and pay a deposit to secure your spot on our calendar. (We highly suggest keeping a bottle of bubbly on ice for this moment.)

What Our Couples Are Saying

You’ve seen the process—now let’s hear the love.

Everything came out so amazing, I went into it not knowing exactly what I wanted but having an idea. From some colors and a few Pinterest inspirations Emma came up with beautiful flowers for our wedding day. Everything from planning and communications was seamless from start to finish. Our flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined and it was awesome to watch the creative process and watching everything come together.

J+C
We got so many compliments from our guests about the floral arrangements, which exceeded our expectations and vision. Emma and her team coordinated the day of the wedding seamlessly, ensuring that we had nothing to worry about except enjoying our day. Everyone from First Blush was absolutely a pleasure to work with, and they made our day even more special. We absolutely recommend Emma and her team.

K+S
Our experience with Emma was nothing short of magical. From the very beginning of the planning process, she was incredibly attentive, listening intently to my ideas and offering valuable suggestions that brought everything to life beautifully.

C+G
First Blush was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From my first consultation with Emma, I knew we were in great hands. We discussed our vision, and I completely trusted her to bring it to life. Our wedding florals were stunning – my bouquet, the arbor, aisle arrangements, centerpieces, and every detail throughout the venue was breathtaking.

FINAL DETAILS

A few months before your wedding, we’ll reach out to finalize your choices and ensure you feel completely comfortable with the creative direction we’re headed in. You’ll sign off on final details—and we’ll source all of the eco-friendly wedding flowers from we need to bring your vision to life.

FLOWER TIME

We process all of your flowers the week before your wedding…and then roll up our sleeves, sharpen our sheers, and get to arranging. (We are definitely doing a happy dance and listening to Yo-Yo Ma as we work.)

WEDDING DAY

We arrive on your wedding day to set up your ceremony and reception and hand off your personal flowers (and tell you how dang beautiful you look). We’ll be back at the end of the evening to break everything down.

our approach

We're All About

the feels

The most helpful piece of information you can share with us is how you want your guests to feel. Tell us you want them walking on clouds in the softest storybook setting—or feeling emboldened to salsa-dance the night away in a fiercely colorful fiesta—and we’ll create living art that enhances your guest experience and exudes the energy of your event.

self expression

We encourage you to use your wedding flowers as a vehicle for celebrating your most authentic self. Rather than worrying about getting it “right” or having a “perfect” wedding—we want you to center your choices around what speaks to you. Color, creativity, and fun are what it’s all about.

creative freedom

Rather than having you choose each exact variety of flower for your arrangements, we love working with your ideas and preferences for color, texture, and style. This opens us up to sourcing the absolute best wedding flowers for your vision based on seasonality and sustainability.

Connecticut wedding reception with full-service floral design

Every wedding we design is bespoke, with florals and décor tailored to your unique style and celebration. We offer two different experiences to our couples:

Set + Style

For couples who don’t need us to return at the end of the evening, we also offer our Set & Style option, which includes:
Delivery and full setup of all floral elements
On-site styling to make sure every detail looks beautiful
No return at the end of the night—this means you or your venue will manage breakdown and cleanup of any floral pieces
This is a great fit for weddings with:
Lots of local guests who can take flowers home
A next-day celebration where you’ll reuse some of the designs
We create your floral pieces in vessels that don’t need to be returned, so you’re free to gift them or donate them at the end of the night.
Full-Service

This service covers everything needed to bring your floral vision to life, seamlessly and beautifully:
A dedicated team to deliver, set up, and install all floral pieces
On-site styling and installations like arches, ceiling designs, or floral moments that need a designer’s touch
Our team stays on-site through setup to make sure everything is just right
After the celebration, we return at the end of the evening to:
Break everything down and pack it up (a process known as "strike")
Compost flowers responsibly
Collect any rental or reusable items
It’s a truly turnkey experience—you and your loved ones don’t need to lift a finger. We handle it all, from setup to cleanup.
