Wedding Florist – Ellen Cara Boulder
Whether rustic or refined, intimate or grande, the details are my passion. My enthusiasm for nature is infused into every design. Renowned for exquisite compositions and designs of distinction, I value that beauty lies in both simplicity and extravagance. My signature flair includes a little bit big city, a little bit country, and a whole lot of nature. I am inspired by raw beauty. Color, texture and scale are the ingredients for our floral magic.

Our Florals
Enjoying long-standing relationships with local growers and worldwide eco-conscious suppliers affords me the pleasure of working with the very best quality and selection Mother Nature has to offer. I am also delighted to share our own home-grown botanicals, edible flowers, hops and herbs. Earth friendly values such as organic growing, limiting water use, avoiding toxic chemicals, repurposing, recycling and composting is my way of life… No greenwashing here!!!

We love her ability to listen to what you want…
“Ellen provided flowers for my wedding and for both of my daughters’ weddings. We love her ability to listen to what you want, her creativity, and sense of style for wedding decor. All three weddings were unique, from soft pinks, to indigo blues, and finally a “woodland” wedding with ferns and live plants. I would highly recommend Ellen!”
The flowers were absolutely stunning!
“Dear Ellen, We just wanted to thank you so much for the incredible flowers you provided for Hannah and Matt’s wedding and reception. Everyone commented on how fabulous they were.

Thank you again, we really appreciate all that you did & will recommend you to everyone.” Meg and Steve (parents of bride).
