We used Ashley Elizabeth for our June 2011 wedding in Carlsbad. My mother has done quite a bit of floral design, so I wanted to pick someone who would be open to collaborating with me and my mom, but help us take our vision to the next level - Boy, did Ashley deliver! We brought a few piece of inspiration to our first meeting and started talking details right away. She knew right away how to execute our colorful, Mexican inspired wedding with class, and knew exactly how to keep it from looking like a touristy Mexican food restaurant! We reviewed different ideas, examples and colors right there on her iPad, so we both could get a vision for what we were hoping to achieve. Being able to see the options and discuss them in person, completely put me at ease. There was nothing left in translation and she asked all the right questions. But Ashley truly shined in execution - everything was flawless that day, and she helped to ensure all the little details were in place - from our family photo display to the guestbook table. Her calm and controlled demeanor was a breath of fresh air on our wedding day, but she sprinkles her professionalism with an infectious laugh and fun-loving attitude. With such a rustic location, the flowers truly defined the look of our wedding (see the pics) and I could feel more confident recommending Ashley for any size event. read more

Ashley is an extremely talented florist and stylist who created stunning florals and tablescapes that made our wedding magical. Ashley provides so much more than beautiful and sophisticated floral designs; she draws on her impressive inventory of decor and design details to style your event with creativity and taste. Ashley styled our wedding wonderfully and saved us an enormous amount of time because we did not need to search for all the design details such as votives, vases, and cake stands that make an event special. She had already gathered them for us to peruse at her studio! Ashley is extremely personable and responsive. She listened to and respected our design preferences and created a wonderful inspiration board for us. Ashley answered our many questions patiently and thoroughly. When I arrived at our wedding venue and saw Ashley's gorgeous florals and tablescapes, I felt a rush of joy that kicked off a magical wedding celebration. Ashley expertly designed three different locations for us, for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. She also did a terrific job on bouquets, boutonnieres, and the wedding cake. I especially loved how she used extra lace from my dress to wrap my bouquet and tie my look together. We have received many compliments about our florals and tablescapes, and Ashley's work was the core of our celebration. We cannot thank her enough! read more

Ashley is not only a very talented florist and event stylist - but she's a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful - she genuinely wants your event to be a huge success. My husband and I were fortunate to get married at Scripps Forum in La Jolla in July 2013. It's a dream venue, but we were planning it all from afar since we live in Austin, TX. Ashley was recommended to us by our caterer Giuseppe (also amazing) and while I was concerned about whether we could afford her within our budget - she was very willing to collaborate to find a way to deliver a gorgeous setting that worked for us. When we first talked, I shared our vision and some of the things that we wanted to do to personalize the event (we made the table favors - small votive candles - and table runners ourselves). We shared that we wanted to do white flowers only with teal & brown accents and a very simple, but modern look. I shared a few pinterest boards - and Ashley put together a great proposal. Once we were set on the proposal, it was quiet until about a month before the wedding. We did one walk through together on site and then Ashley was so helpful, she even let us ship our personalized items to her shop and set them up for us at the event. Ashley went above and beyond to style our event AND to help ensure that every detail was perfect - since I didn't have a formal wedding coordinator - we leaned on her a bit more than normal - and she was amazing. If you're looking for elegant, helpful and high quality - Ashley is phenomenal - we'd recommend her in an instant. read more

Ashley was the florist for our wedding on June 9, 2012 and did a great job. We had one meeting with her prior to signing on with her in January and then some email communication from there and everything was executed perfectly. We were planning from out-of-town, so we did not have a lot of time to meet or plan and Ashley showed a lot of professionalism and skill in carrying out the vision my wife presented to her initially. When we met, my wife let her know that she wanted kind of a "rustic" style to the flowers and decor. She had mentioned a lot of wooden, burlap type of earth tones with some brighter pastel flowers to add some color (peach, green) along with a lot of succulent plants. She worked up a proposal with a quote in about 2 days and sent it to us. Although we had some slightly cheaper offers, we decided to go with Ashley because my wife was impressed with her plan and trusted her to execute with her own creativity considering our limited availability from out-of-town, and her prices were still reasonable and fair. She was also very flexible to work with the proposal and change things up or move them around based on budgetary constraints. There was a manzanita tree branch thing my wife really wanted at the altar and Ashley worked with us to change our plan around a little, so we could fit that within our budget. The ceremony flowers and setup, centerpieces, corsages, bouquets, cake decorations, etc. all meshed really well and Ashley clearly showed an artistic eye and mastery of her field. She even added some really cool vintage wooden trunk pieces to the ceremony that we were very pleasantly surprised with. My wife added a few great DIY things, which included some succulent plant party favors, a creative guest book idea and a nice photo display table. Thanks to her and Ashley seeing eye-to-eye, all these things fit in really well with the overall look of everything that Ashley had done. Overall, Ashley provided a very high level of service and I would recommend her to any family member or friend. If you give her your general ideas and an overall feel, she can run with it and use her creative sensibilities and knowledge to execute it. read more

You couldn't do better for your money than Ashley! She's outstanding. I loved her work. Not sure how she's making a profit... but wow? A true artist. read more

I had one of those wedding horror stories that NO bride ever wants to think about. My husband and I had only given ourselves 7-months to plan our wedding. We have a family friend who is a very talented designer and whom my family had said I should use to do my florals (dont get me wrong he does AMAZING work) BUT things started to fall through the cracks. I am a very organized person and wanted EVERY single detail of my wedding to be well thought through and perfect in every way for ME. Well a month shy of the wedding my family friend wasnt cutting it and I had no choice but to find another photographer. I was a COMPLETE nervous wreck however I have a very supportive family and was able to find a few people who were still available on my day of even with it being short notice; one of these people happened to be Ashley. The minute I met Ashley I knew I was going to love her and her work. I had told her through a few emails and phone conversations what I was thinking and what my colors were, etc. When we finally met she had gone beyond my expectations to put together a few things for me. She had arranged vases on a table to guage what I was thinking. Did I like A or B, what about C. How did I feel about floating candles versus candles in crystal rocks, etc. I could list every single way Ashley made this process amazing, but it would take a while. As another reviewer above has said Ashley goes above and beyond. When you choose a florist you are hoping that the ideas that you have conveyed to them get translated. Its really hard to let someone see what you are seeing. I had a vision in my head what I wanted the room to look like on the night of my wedding and I can say without a doubt Ashley completely GOT it. I was able to go into the Ballroom pre-ceremony to check everything out and take some photos. Ashley had just finished the florals I got to see a sneak peak. Not only were they gorgeous but she did EXACTLY to a T what I wanted. Not a single thing that I had requested was overlooked. The flowers were gorgeous and every single person at my wedding reception commented on them (a lot of them also got to take them home and enjoy them the following week!). If you are looking for a florist who is going to take your ideas, add in her own (obviously with your supervision) and provde you with stunning flowers then Ashley Elizabeth is the way to go. If I ever had to get married again (definitely not going to happen) I would not only choose Ashley to provide me with florals but I would also recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding florist. read more

We were lucky enough to have worked with Ashley, as our florist, for our wedding day. She is such pleasure to work with and does amazing work. We were referred to her by our wedding coordinator and I couldn't have been happier. She listens to your likes and dislikes and adds her style to make perfect arrangements. Our flowers turned out so amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests. Not only does she have flowers but she has other fun accessories to add to the design of your wedding. We actually used a really neat shutter of hers to hold our place cards and it turned out amazing (her idea)!! I would refer Ashley to anyone, she makes the whole process such breeze. read more

Ashley exceeded every expectation I had for our backyard wedding on July 19th. From the moment we had our first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. Ashley is incredibly talented as a floral designer, and she also has a beautiful inventory of unique pieces that helped tie the whole look of our wedding together. At the beginning of the planning process, I showed up with a crazy pinterest board of disjointed ideas, and Ashley was incredible at helping me sort through everything and design a look and feel that were stunning and suited our backyard venue perfectly. Ashley provided everything from florals and votives for centerpieces to unique vintage furniture pieces. On the day of our wedding, I was stunned by how beautiful each area of our venue looked. Everything was flawlessly executed, including the ceremony site (she provided a rustic arch with drapery and flowers), the gorgeous floral centerpieces, the dessert table, and the tree overlooking the sweetheart table with hanging mason jar lanterns. Weeks after the wedding, we are still receiving compliments on the flowers and tablescapes. On top of her awesome styling skills, Ashley is also super fun, down to earth, and someone who genuinely cares about making your event special. I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with Ashley, and I can't thank her enough for helping to make our wedding such a perfect day. Ashley's passion for her job shines through in the beautiful work she does, and we give her our highest recommendation to anyone planning an event! read more

Ta Da! Ashley E. is dependable with a generous spirit, and an amazing sense of style. After a brief telephone interview, she asked pointed questions and designed exactly what I had in mind. Stylistically creative and tasteful. Highly recommended. read more
