I was very lucky to have Amy create my floral arrangements for my wedding. We had a modest budget, but we were still hoping to incorporate our favorite late-summer flowers into our day. When we met with Amy for the first time a couple of months before the wedding, all we had were some basic ideas--we wanted blue hydrangeas, deep burgundy dahlias, and some touches of white and green. We were also hoping to work coffee beans into our centerpieces. Amy took our very sketchy ideas and ran with them. When the flowers arrived on the day of the wedding, they were absolutely perfect! I couldn't believe how she somehow read my mind and created just the arrangements I had been imagining. She worked white lisianthus and blue delphinium in with the hydrangeas and dahlias, and the results were GORGEOUS! Amy had suggested the lisianthus because of its rose-like look and the pop of green that the buds add, and they were the perfect complement to the hydrangeas and dahlias! The flowers were also incredibly fresh--even though I had been concerned about the hydrangeas holding up in the heat (it was 95 degrees on our wedding day), they looked great all day. And the centerpieces lasted for a week after the wedding! From start to finish, Amy was a complete joy to work with, and I'm so glad we found her. For brides who are on a budget but still want beautiful flowers for their day, I cannot recommend Mayfly Flowers highly enough. Amy will not disappoint you! Allison & Andy

We became aware of Amy's work through our wedding coordinator. Like many couples, we wanted to have a beautiful event, tailored to our tastes while still keeping our bank account intact. When we met Amy, we shared a few photos and props and described what we hoped to achieve. We knew that she had done beautiful arrangements for other weddings held at McMenamin's Grand Lodge and it was comforting that she was familiar with the venue. Amy was enthusiastic about our "Vintage Northwest Garden Party" theme and made recommendations that were on target and on budget. Amy is organized, creative and communicates in a timely manner. She was clear about what she needed from us and over-delivered on her commitments. If you are looking for someone to design flowers specifically for you, we would highly recommend her- we feel we got much more that than we paid for. Dana & Tim

I was introduced to Amy through our wedding coordinator, in the hopes she would match our desire for beauty and budget. She exceeded in both areas. It was the only vendor where we came out under budget and with no compromises on what we wanted. While I knew I wanted beauty, I didn't quite know what that would mean for flowers. Amy made the process of choosing very easy and she never tried to sell me more. In fact, she was very reassuring when proposing how we could use arrangements in multiple ways and save money. She is willing to suggest as much as you like or sit back and listen to ideas you already have. I appreciated her being able to take the lead and dream up our arrangements. Perhaps what stands out most is her professionalism. Throughout the process she maintained excellent communication, punctuality and follow through. This gave us a lot of confidence on how the actual day would come together, and as we suspected, she promptly delivered excellent arrangements.

Amy at Mayfly Flowers was incredible! The flowers she provided for our wedding were so beautiful! Full, lush arrangements using the flowers, colors and style that I had requested. Amy was easy to work with, attentive and prompt any time I had a question throughout the planning process, friendly, and ready to go on the wedding day. I feel like the flowers at my wedding looked like they cost thousands of dollars, even though they really were only a few hundred... so the value is incredible. I'm so glad I found Amy to work with, and that now I have such beautiful flowers in all my wedding photos and memories. Thank you, Amy!

We used Mayfly Flowers for our wedding in Match of 2015 and we were thrilled with the experience. The flowers were amazing and we received a ton of compliments on how beautiful they were. We had bouquets, boutineers, center pieces, and arrangements for the ceremony made. The level of service and quality of the flowers are top of the line, yet very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her services!

Thanks so much Rebecca! All the best to you both!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a former budget bride, Amy has a special fondness for the DIY couple on a budget. That's why she does not mark up the price of flowers. Your total cost is the actual wholesale costs of your wedding flowers plus a labor fee that covers Amy's time and design expertise. Amy's individualized pricing structure is designed to save her clients the most money possible! In 2016, Amy began offering her DIY JumpStart package for clients who may want to DIY their wedding flowers but just don't know where to start. Visit the website for more information on DIY JumpStart and a description of the services offered by Mayfly Flowers.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Following a complimentary consultation, Amy will develop a personalized flower plan for your review. Your flower plan will provide a detailed description of the flower arrangements for your wedding, as well as all the charges associated with your order. If there are specific flowers you want used in your arrangements, Amy will price the order accordingly. If you do not have a flower preference, simply provide the colors and style that you like, as well as a budget guideline, and Amy will create a design plan based on those specifications.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Amy got her start in the floral industry right out of college. Floral design was always something that had interested her, so she decided to give it a shot. During that time, Amy discovered a talent for working with flowers and an eye for design. She spent time working for Jones the Florist and the Hyde Park Floral and Garden Center (both in Cincinnati, Ohio) before moving to Oregon to pursue her graduate studies. After doing the flower arrangements for her own wedding, Amy re-discovered everything that she loved about "playing" with flowers. She had always appreciated the creative aspects of the floral industry and the joy of creating something beautiful for others to enjoy, but found the significant retail mark-up disconcerting (especially when the word "wedding" is thrown into the conversation). When Amy realized that she could use her skills and knowledge to help other couples avoid paying more than they had to for their wedding flowers, Mayfly Flowers was born!
