Welcome! I'm Mandy, the head florist at Flowers by Mandy. I started this company because I LOVE creating beautiful wedding flowers with a focus on sustainability. This simply means I try to run my business in a way that is good for the earth and all the life forms that depend on it - including the fungi and bacteria in the soil, the plants, the animals, and, of course, the people who use my flowers.
​
That’s why I’m so passionate about using locally grown flowers. I personally know the farmers I source from and trust their farming practices. My business helps support other local businesses and strengthens our local economy. By reducing transportation and emissions, I help protect the environment. And because I don’t use flowers covered in hormone-disrupting chemicals, my clients can feel safe touching, smelling, and even eating some of them!
​
​
I always start the process with my clients with a free zoom consultation. This consultation is meant to be a low stress brainstorming session. During consultations I'll go over your floral needs and vision. Some couples like to have inspiration images prepared for the consultation. Other couples like to get ideas during the consultation. I will gather information about your preferences on flower types, textures, and colors. I'll also cover pricing, but be assured I do not try to upsell clients during consultations.
Transparency is one of our most important business values, and pricing can be found on our website ahead of time. If the couple decides to move forward with ordering flowers I'll create an invoice and book their specific dates in my calendar. After that I will be in touch as needed, but I encourage couples to reach out to me at any time if they have changes or concerns. I get excited about working with fun and easy-going couples, and I look forward to meeting YOU!
