Services
Gingerleaf Floral approaches floral design as a study in line, form, texture, color and fragrance. These are the simplest of elements; yet arranged in unexpected and inspired ways, they elicit reactions both powerful and subtle. The end result is emotive, artful design.
From bouquets to boutonnieres, ceremony décor to altar designs, centerpieces to floral tablescapes, their designs will capture the vision you’ve imagined, and create the ambiance and experience of a lifetime.
Gingerleaf Floral has a $2000 minimum for events including delivery and set up, and a $500 minimum for client pick-up of arrangements.

Questions and Answers
What 3 words describe your work? Conceptual, textural, architectural.
What are the common misconceptions about your services? Our medium is flowers and botanicals, but we are in the business of emotion. Our designs are meant to evoke a mood and create an indelible experience. In the end, our true value is in creating positive emotional experiences to those touched by our services.
What are some sources of inspiration or influences on your work? Every couple has a story, and what they share with me can often inspire a theme or concept for their florals. I also draw from nature, art, architecture and graphic design.
What makes a wedding memorable for you? It's wonderful to see the happy couple the day of the wedding, and to see the venue, the flowers, the decor and everything else come together. We have a fantastic team working to make the florals look beautiful, and what really makes a wedding memorable is coming together to make it all happen.
Tell us about your pets, if you have any. I have 3 wonderful dogs, and they are truly my "agents of well-being." They are a constant reminder that being in the moment is the best place to be, and that a good vacuum cleaner is worth its weight in gold.
