I used Ruth as my floral designer for my September wedding in Westchester. In the beginning of wedding planning I knew more of what I didn't want , aka cliche wedding flowers, but with a limited knowledge of flower types and inability to draw I found it difficult to figure out how to put my vision into words. I knew that I wanted someone who would be able to listen to my overall idea and translate into something refined, beautiful, and like nothing I had ever seen at a wedding before. When my mom and I met Ruth, we instantly knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was so sweet and easy going and in the craziness of wedding planning it was refreshing to be dealing with someone so calm. Off the bat we absolutely loved the aesthetic of the event photos on her website and how she not only used so many interesting flowers, but that her tablescapes had amazing votives, candles, and just captured the small details that really can make a wedding special. Initially my mom and I had a similar goal, but different ways of explaining it.Ruth was incredibly patient with us and really listened to what we each had to say and helped us navigate through refining what we were looking to accomplish. Over the course of many months, emails, and meetings Ruth transformed our ideas, which had been much expanded upon from her suggestions and artistic eye, into something that came out so far beyond what I imagined. My favorite piece that she designed was our escort card table. It was a long table with the seating chart written on various antique feeling mirrors with a flower frame constructed around it to make it more of an art installation than a place for guests to get their seat assignments. From the flower frame, which was made out of beautiful leafy greens and vibrant pinks, ivories, and peach flowers, Ruth hung bubble candles that seemed to float in mid air and created an amazing glow around the mirrors. A similar aesthetic was carried into the reception room, which was a mix of round and long tables; the round tables had high pieces with similar florals and greens as the flower frame while the long tables had mix of low small and large votives with tapered candles. My wedding was at the beach club my parents have belonged to for 20 years and I have been to on countless occasions. On my wedding day Ruth absolutely transformed the room in a way I have never seen! We got so many compliments from guests who were completely blown away and commented that they had never seen anything like it. Ruth's design made our day all the more special and I am forever grateful for the time and energy she invested in our wedding; I truly felt she cared to make our day the best it could be. For any couples considering Ruth my biggest suggestion would be to have an idea of what you want, but to let her have some artistic license to take it to another level. read more
