  • Dreamiest Florals!

    Avery is extremely talented and down to earth. Her work is absolutely stunning. As a wedding coordinator it was an honor to work alongside her. Her team was timely, efficient, and reliable. She is one of the first florists I have seen make a brides floral dreams completely come true. She executed the brides moody floral vision flawlessly! Avery is my top recommendation to brides when it comes to choosing a florist. It is evident that florals are her passion!

  • My bouquet ended up more beautiful than the inspiration pictures!

    The details in my bouquet were exquisite, and ended up more beautiful than the inspiration pictures! I really appreciated the personal attention to the details that I wanted to include in the decorations and bouquets. Through phone calls and multiple emails back and forth, Ash to Oak made it clear that they sincerely cared about making sure our wedding flowers matched our vision for the day.

  • The creativity and professionalism is what comes to mind first.

    Avery took my vision and dream (which was very vague to say the least) and created it in real life. She listened to what I wanted, but then took her own expertise and knowledge of flowers to create a truly beautiful masterpiece. Avery clearly cares for her clients and their day and also has a deep passion for nature and beauty. I am endlessly grateful for Ash to Oak’s work for our wedding day - thank you for creating such beauty and joy in our lives.

Owner, Lead Designer

Owning this business is a dream come true for me—a dream rooted in my love for nature and my desire to create beautiful, timeless spaces for others. For the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing couples and clients, bringing their wedding and event visions to life through the art of floral design.

With a background in agriculture, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for the beauty and power of nature. Flowers, plants, and greenery are not just elements of design—they’re living, breathing pieces of art that have the ability to transform a space, evoke emotion, and create lasting memories. Whether it’s an intimate wedding or a grand celebration, I’m passionate about using florals to craft stunning, personalized environments that make every event feel unique and unforgettable.

When I’m not in the studio or working on event designs, you’ll find me enjoying time with my family or eating chocolate chip cookies.

I’m so grateful to be able to do what I love every day, and I can’t wait to help you create a day that’s as beautiful and meaningful as the love you’re celebrating.

Creative Director & Lead Designer

I have always been passionate about creativity, and turning the ideas in my head into a physical creation.  This is why floral design appeals to me so much. There is so much beauty in the world and in the way it’s created. I want to store those ideas in my head and from that space, replicate  how nature is beautifully created. 

I studied ceramics in undergrad and haven’t stopped obsessing over it since. I love the connectedness and intimacy of creating something with my hands that people use in their everyday lives as simple, comforting pieces in their home.  It is one of my favorite things, and I’m so excited that it’s a part of the Ash to Oak story now!
