I’m just a happy wedding florist saying hi! I’m Alison Ellis of Floral Artistry. I’ve been designing wedding flowers for the last 22 seasons from my home-studio here in Vermont.

Beautiful flowers make every wedding or event feel more special and memorable. Thanks to everyone who made some flower memories with me this year!

I know I’m fortunate to get to do the work that I love in a place that I love! (That’s why I kid, but I truly am a happy floral designer.)

There’s a special connection and a trust that’s required for a couple to choose the best florist (or wedding planner, photographer, or dress maker for that matter!) to suit your vision. And I consider it an honor to be chosen to play a role in your special day!

It’s been a couple of months since I officially wrapped my wedding season, but luckily I’m only a few months away from my first wedding of 2024! 🎉🙌👏 (I really do miss having my hands in flowers during the off season.)

I have a couple of dates available on my calendar for next season so if you’re newly engaged and have started planning your wedding, Congratulations!! ❤️ Feel free to reach out get in touch to tell me a little bit about your plans if you’re interested in working with me. The fastest response will come from my website inquiry—which I still think is more fun to fill out than a DM 😉

And if you happen to a floral designer, I’m hosting a professional workshop here in Vermont with a lineup of fabulous floral educators in April! It’s called the Floralpreneur Workshop and you can find ALL the details over at (It’s gonna be awesome!)

Speaking of awesome, I also have to give a shoutout to for helping me get super pumped up before the end of the year with this photo shoot ❤️ for the glam and for the ambiance and the great tunes 🎶

Thanks for reading my brief hello! Have a great day and a very happy holiday season!

My biggest fear as a self-employed event florist finally came to fruition yesterday. Setting up the biggest wedding I have ever done…I tripped and fell. I knocked myself out and I was taken by ambulance before completing the set up.
I am experienced enough to surround myself with an amazing team of bad-ass women who made the magic happen in my absence. Completed the setup, and flipped the decor. Shout out to my amazing daughter Emily Ranch, the incredibly talented Brigid Wilson and my wonderful cousin Kelly Dugan, and
The team at Remembered Events.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am home, recovering from a concussion and some minor abrasions.
Best of all: The Bride Loved Everything!
Shout out to my amazing son-in-law Richard Ranch and husband Michael for going to scoop everything up at 10:00 pm.

It’s so much fun to decorate a wedding cake with fresh flowers!

Head tables can be so amazing. I usually recommend placing vases on them for bridesmaid bouquets. So, if you see an empty vessel, it is just waiting to be filled with flowers!
