We hope we peaked your interest with our funky, bright color wedding flowers, but we hope you stick around for the heart and passion that goes into the work we do.
Our Approach
It's About More Than Flowers To Us
Mutual respect and kindness. Always.
LGBTQIA+ love is joyfully celebrated, respected, and honored.
Eco-friendly practices. More on that below.
Transparency, honesty, and open communication.
Intentionality.
Quality > quantity.
Healthy boundaries and work/life balance.
Supporting other small, local businesses.
Paying and caring for our freelancers generously and fairly.
Zero pushy sales tactics. We want you to book vendors you connect with.
We will always respect your budget. We have minimums so we can be transparent about what we personally need to make for our business, and you'll never be encouraged to spend more than you feel good about. (And if we're out of your budget range, there's not an ounce of judgement here. Let me know if you want a referral!)
Making this part of wedding planning fun and easy.

Some of Our Core Values:
During peak growing season, this averaged closer to 94%.

Here are the steps we are currently taking to be kinder to our planet:
Wrong Number Floral Co. is an innovative and evolving floral design company. We will never accept the status quo and "the way it's always been done." We promise to always strive to learn more, do better, and share what we know.
Eco-Friendly Wedding Flowers
Flowers are seasonal, and it's one of our favorite things about our craft.
We source as many of our flowers and foliage as possible from local flower farms. We know many of these farmers on a personal level, and we love supporting responsibly grown flowers from small business owners. Many of these flower farms are also woman-owned, minority-owned, and queer-owned--which we love supporting even more!
Do we ever use imported or shipped product? Yes, but minimally and strategically.
If you don't know, around 80% of cut flowers sold in the United States are imported. When we're that far removed from the flowers, there are a lot of factors that come into question: quality/age, if they treat/pay their employees fairly, what kinds of pesticides are present, and the carbon footprint of that bunch of flowers.
Now, not every state in the country can grow flowers in abundance, but on the west coast, we really do have full advantage. We don't take that for granted.
STEP 1: Flower SOURCING
We do not use traditional floral foam. Period. In the last handful of years, there have been some wonderful alternatives created. Some of these include: Agrawool and Fibre Floral which are made of stone wool (basalt) as well as Oshun Pouches which are made of coco coir and plant-based starches on the inside and bioplastic membrane on the outside.
Here are some common sustainable floral supplies we reuse time and time again:
- Vases + containers (we rent these to our couples rather than having them purchase them so they can be used over and over again)
- Coated chicken wire (I have only purchased chicken wire 2 times in my 7 years of working in the floral industry.)
- Pin frogs (aka flower frogs)
- Hydration containers for wearables
- Water tubes
- Pop-up trash can (made of tarp material)
STEP 2: Floral SUPPLIES + MECHANICS
All of our natural materials (flowers, foliage, moss, etc.) are composted or dried for repurposing. This is one of the reasons we always pick up any unwanted flowers at the end of the event so they can be disposed of properly and avoid going into trash bags that end up in a landfill.
There are some items that are single-use, and we use them thoughtfully and minimally. They are disposed of properly in the trash. (i.e. glue dots, floral adhesive, and floral tape)
We are always experimenting with alternatives so that we can minimize our waste.
STEP 3: WASTE DISPOSAL
"Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Hope!
From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to bring our vision to life in the most beautiful and unique way. Her arrangements were truly works of art, and the displays at our wedding were nothing short of breathtaking."
-Alijah (Client)
My approach to floral design is consistently non-traditional.
It is contemporary and a bit avant-garde.
It's playful and imaginative.
There's movement and negative space.
It is often asymmetrical, and it is never tightly structured.
I am heavily inspired by color, texture, flower types, and, of course, my clients' personalities.
Flowers are one of the few things in life that ignites an unfiltered, childlike joy for me. I think when you find something like that, you have to explore it...you have to surround yourself with it.
In the last few years, I've been working a couple days per week on a local flower farm that I source a huge portion of my flowers from. This has given me an even deeper appreciation for my medium, and it has also fueled my passion for eco-friendly wedding flower practices.
The seasonality is truly a beautiful thing, and I am constantly inspired as we flow from spring to fall flowers. You can rest assured that I'm sourcing the freshest, most lovingly grown local flowers for your unique design.
