About

I'm Casey, the owner and lead floral designer of Cultivate Event Co. That means I run the floral consultations, curate the floral recipes, execute the design elements for your big day, and so much more.

My aesthetic is lush and organic, and I live for color. I love everything from muted and muddy to bold and bright. Coordinating color palettes is one of my all-time favorite things to do (aside from designing flowers, playing with puppies, drinking coffee, and watching true-crime documentaries).

I live in Richmond, Virginia, with my sweet partner, Elliot. You may see us around the city taking a walk through Carytown, eating at the newest restaurant, performing improv at The Coalition Theater, or running around Lowe’s covered in paint picking up “one more thing” to finish renovating our new home.

Even though I live in Richmond now, I grew up just outside of Charlottesville, Virginia, and I feel most at home there. It’s always special for me when I get to return home to design weddings that have that gorgeous backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I believe the best wedding floral design is lush, timeless, and organic. I want to ensure that all of my clients receive the the highest-quality blooms available, so I source premium stems from all over the world, including Holland, Japan, and California. I also work with local farmers to gather the best seasonal flowers available for your event. Once I receive my product, each stem is checked for quality, color, and size, and if it doesn't meet my high standards, it's returned and replaced so you have the most gorgeous flowers possible.

I also maintain an ever-growing rental inventory full of various arbor structures, centerpiece vessels, candles, and votives in a variety of colors, heights, and textures to use for your event. And if I don't have something already in stock that you'd like to use, I'll source it for you. The use of all of these rental items is included in the initial estimate for my full-service clients.

Investments for full-service floral design begin at $4,000. However, on average, most clients invest between $5,000-$6,000 for floral design services.

Now that you know about me, I'd love to learn more about you and talk about how we can create the perfect floral design for your wedding. All of my work is custom, and pricing is based on your individiual needs and style. When you reach out with a request, if I have availability for your date, I'll respond with a request to schedule a quick phone call to learn a bit more about your event and needs. I look forward to speaking with you!

Highly recommend!

Casey and her team did the flowers for our May wedding, and they were absolutely stunning. From the bouquets to the boutonnieres, from the flowers down the aisle to the decor for the reception, everything was so beautiful, with every flower, leaf, and vine thoughtfully designed. Casey and her team were so professional and easy to work with as well.

Made My Dream Florals Come True!

The moment we met with Casey, I knew she was the one! Since day one of planning my wedding, I’ve known that florals were going to be a huge part of my ceremony and reception- as I told many family and friends beforehand, I wanted people to walk in and say “wow-look at those flowers!” before anything else. Casey made my vision come to life after our consultation in a way that made me think we were sharing a brain. Casey was flexible throughout the process, conscious of our budget, and willing to try any of the crazy ideas we threw at her!
Thank you Casey for making my garden party dreams come true-if you want jaw dropping florals, book Cultivate Event Co!!

An incredibly talented florist (and generally lovely person)!

I feel so fortunate to have gotten the chance to work with Casey! She was nothing less than kind, patient, informative and communicative throughout the entire planning process. She took my vague idea of what I wanted and developed it into something better than I could have possibly imagined. Her florals were absolutely the highlight of both the ceremony and the reception and she truly transformed our reception space into something beautiful. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
