I’m a wedding specialist.
Over 24 years as a Vermont wedding florist, I’ve had the pleasure of working with hundreds of couples and their families to create their dream wedding flowers.
My clients love Vermont and cannot wait to share that love with their friends and family for a wedding they’ll never forget!
Whether you are busy professionals, working on a graduate degree, or you’re a parent who’s helping with planning details, my mission is to help streamline the planning process so you can have a fun, stress-free event.
I know planning can be a lot of work (and you’ve never done this before!), so I make it easy to get started…
You can start a conversation by sharing a few details with me!
“I just had to send you a note of thanks for the absolutely beautiful flowers you provided for my daughter’s wedding. Somehow you were able to take her inspirations and turn them into a stunning reality–even though all the planning was done long distance. You are a true artist and you exceeded our expectations.”

When Planning A Wedding…
- You rely on experienced professionals to guide you through the process, point you in the right direction and deliver what they promise.
- You may feel unsure about what you really need at first.
- Your time is valuable and trust is an essential part of your planning.
When You Book With Me…
- You’ll find it easy to reach me when you have questions or need advice.
- Distance is not an issue as we exchange photos and ideas via e-mail.
- I’ll interpret your style & pull together the best parts of your ideas to create a cohesive look.

- I’m happy to advise you on details that fall outside the realm of flowers to ensure design consistency through visual coordination.
More From Alison
“My vision is that the true art of floral design is found through high quality flowers and superior design technique. I take great joy in the creative process.
With a degree in Plant and Soil Science from The University of Vermont and over 30 years of professional design experience I offer a full spectrum of knowledge about flowers and plants.
There are some things a flower shop cannot offer–that’s where I step in.”
— Alison Ellis, Owner & Designer
My customers say…
“You will love your flowers!..Because we were not local to our wedding location we worked mostly by phone and some email, and we were very pleased with the results. When I show people our wedding pictures they often comment on the beautiful flowers. Alison was great about taking our input and merging that with what she knew would work well based on our preferences and tastes. We were delighted with the outcome…Besides that she has a lovely personality!”

Review from WeddingChannel.com“Alison is an absolute pleasure to work with, and she totally “gets it” when brides talk about what they want…I had heard nothing but excellent things about the quality of her floral arrangements from others that have worked with her in the past, and even expecting the best, she still managed to exceed my expectations. I absolutely loved all the flowers, and I’m still hearing from friends and family about how gorgeous they were. If there was a way to give more than five stars on this webpage, I definitely would!”
Janelle
Review from WeddingWire.com“I came to Alison with some very clear ideas of colors and patterns, but had no knowledge of flowers. The first time I met with her she took the pictures I had given her and the colors and extracted exactly the type of style I was looking for and gave me many creative, unique ideas to decide on. I like how she had her own ideas and opinions which guided me and helped me narrow down my own ideas. …she was extremely open and honest. She is energetic, fun and quirky and was absolutely delightful to work with!”

Review from WeddingWire.comYour wedding day depends on experts who’ll guide you through the details and provide top notch service.
Weddings are my main focus so I keep up with trends as well as traditions, but the fun part is finding ways to help you meld the two to create your perfect wedding look.
I love to help my clients express your personal style by creating unique floral designs that are more than you could envision, yet truly represent your style.
No two weddings should look exactly alike!
I’m known for beautiful flowers and attention to details.
I was voted Top 40 Over 40 by Florists’ Review Magazine and my work has been seen on wedding blogs and publications including the New York Times and Rustic Wedding Chic.
It’s an honor to be chosen to play a role in your wedding day.
Floral Artistry’s Core Values…
As a creative business it’s my goal to provide high quality flowers & superior design technique along with integrity & honesty by committing to these core concepts:
1. Service & Hospitality
My clients are #1. Each couple is unique, as are their needs. I design my service experience around my clients because no two weddings are alike.
I’m proud to provide expert advice & personalized service.
We believe in welcoming, inclusive events because all people deserve to feel loved, seen, and celebrated regardless of race, religion, ability, age or sexual orientation. Racism and discrimination in any form will not be tolerated here.
2. Clear Communication
I treat my customers with respect, honesty & transparency. I aim for prompt responses because my couples are important to me. I want you to know this from our first e-mail to our first proposal & all the way through the wedding day.
3. Details Matter
Details create the experience. Weddings require precision & timeliness. There are no do-overs.
Details matter. I do details.
4. Environmental Impact
Floristry can be tough on the environment. To help reduce the environmental impacts of your event, we do not use floral foam! That green foam, which most florists have been using for decades, breaks down into microplastics that contaminate the environment and water supply.
It’s my aim to be as eco-friendly as possible from the moment the flowers enter my studio to the time they arrive at your event.
We compost all organic waste on our 1-acre property, flowers are hydrated without chemical solutions or sprays, and in the summer months, I add flowers from my garden for a local touch whenever possible.
5. Giving Back
I believe part of running a sustainable business includes giving back to the community. For every wedding or special event that we book, we make a donation to the Vermont Foodbank, Outright Vermont, and/or Vermont Public.
Floral Artistry has donated over 24,000 meals and counting!
