Flowers that could only have happened on your day.
We design for a limited number of weddings and events each season. Every one of them is particular, and every season is unique. This alchemy of aesthetic and environment is the most interesting part of our work.
Farmed by the florist
We cut our annuals and perennials at the perfect harvest stage, in the early morning hours, and condition them before arranging for you.
Designed to your moodboard
We take inspiration from your inspirations: Art, film, pinterest or otherwise. With them in mind and the farm in front of us, we find a way for the two to meet.
A decade of doing this
Ten-plus years of floral design, and seed choices made a year ahead — we know how weddings work, and we're ready to make yours special.
What we make
Personals
Bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, baskets of petals
Ceremony
Arbors, chuppahs, aisles and altars
Reception
Centerpieces for round or long tables, bar and buffet pieces, cake flowers, and candles
Installations
Suspended and architectural work, green and floral walls, entryway moments
Events & editorial
Showers, memorials, parties and shoots. Smaller and stranger is welcome.
Rentals & teardown
Vessels and candles, delivery, on-site setup, and takedown for full service events
Four main stages, then the main event
Inquiry
Tell us the date, the venue and roughly what you're imagining. We'll let you know ASAP whether the date is open.
Consultation
Some time on a video call, working to understand your vision, vibe, and desires. We'll talk through our process and see how it aligns with yours.
Proposal & booking
After our call, you'll receive a proposal, piece by piece, with a seasonal moodboard. You can request some edits and we'll do our best to make them efficiently. Once the contract is signed and deposit is made, we're holding the date for you.
Edits & Additions
We can exchange ideas, answer questions, and keep up with your decisions via email. One substantive design meeting, generally 3-4 months before the event, helps us make sure we're on the same page and excited about the same things. This is often when a planner becomes involved, and when we move toward final edits of the contract/moodboard.
Planning-mode
Your total is due one month before the event, which is when we'll begin planning our harvests, pulling the vases we'd like to use, and generally getting in gear.
The week of
We cut for you, order from our farm friends as necessary, and spend the week in the studio preparing. On site, we're there early, making sure it's perfect for the day.

The honest parts
Seasonality
We won't promise a specific flower, although we can say what's generally available. We'll promise a feeling, a color world, and shapes/textures, and then bring you the best version of in that moment — which is usually better than what we might imagine.
Budget
Our minimum for a full service wedding is $6,000, and every wedding is different. Some prioritize tablescapes, some focus on a ceremony install, and others include many people and personals. For smaller events, we offer our a la carte servic.
How many we take
A limited number of dates each season. We're a small studio and a working farm, and both require a lot of focus and energy.
Where we go
Our weddings are all over upstate New York--the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Capital Region, and Adirondacks--and in the Berkshires.

“Amidst the insanity of wedding planning Colie was a ray of sunshine and it was such a relief to have someone in our corner who not only provided the most beautiful part of our big day, but was also a genuinely kind and good person.”
“Flower Scout were absolutely incredible and truly made our autumn wedding unforgettable. They went above and beyond by creating custom pieces based on our moodboard, incorporating beautiful seasonal flowers. The result was beyond stunning and exceeded our wildest dreams.”
