Tracy Chen
Wedding Flowers
Working with Florie Story is one of the best decisions I made for wedding planning. I found them on Bark and I was debating between a few florists initially and what made me chose to work with Jamie (owner of florie story) was seeing how responsive, sweet and detail oriented when she communicated with me. My priority was to work with a team that is good at communicating with me. Jamie responded to my every text and call in a timely manner and always open to making changes to my floral design. She was very proactive and treated me as family and sent me pictures of her floral ideas for me. I was very happy with how my wedding florals turned out and highly recommend her to any couple with upcoming weddings! More...

Jamie made my wedding beautiful & memorable with her gorgeous arrangements for everything! I wanted red roses, white wax flowers, & some purple/blue flowers that looked beautiful in my bouquet & bridesmaids arrangements. The church decorations & reception table arrangements looked fresh & vivid & brought the room alive, gave everything a lush feel of elegance & style & luxury that I was thrilled to have at my wedding!

First and foremost Jamie is the sweetest most patient person to work with! Her attention to detail and kindness during our time working together was so appreciated. My wedding was September 9th and during the whole hustle and bustle of planning, my florals were the easiest to plan and I had FULL faith thanks to Jamie and her husband Doug! Florie story really goes above and beyond. My flowers were the talk of the wedding! More...

Wedding Flowers
Jamie was wonderful to work with. When I posted my request she was quick to respond. She paid special attention to what I needed (simple bridal bouquet and boutonniere). I sent her an example of what I was looking for and her communication was great. Considerable attention to detail and very friendly. My bride loved her bouquet and was very grateful. More...

I am always blown away at Jamie’s creations and I have had the honor of receiving one of them and see the many that she does.
You can tell that they aren’t just flowers that you buy at a local market, cut off the bottoms to fit in a vase and then give them to someone. You can tell that the flowers have all been hand chosen for the specific person or persons they are for.
Thank you Jamie for making people feel loved, know matter the occasion.

Thank you Sachorrah! We always love working with you!
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing the look on my client's faces when they are presented with their flowers is my favorite part about my job! Of course I love being surrounded in beauty and being creative, working with my hands, and especially getting to share in the milestones and celebrations of life with my clients who often become friends!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired to start my own business when I saw the delight in people coming to our home for my daughter's wedding in 2017. So many people encouraged me, you could say, the seed was planted! I applied for my business license in 2019 and the adventure began. My son was engaged two years later and then Covid hit. The wedding industry changed just like everything else. I was still working full time as a 3rd grade teacher and suddenly we were remote. It was a very challenging time for me as I missed my school community, the garden I had created for them, and being in the classroom with my precious kids. A good thing that came out of that is I learned we could learn about whatever we were inspired to learn. I taught that to my students so why not me? It was just a matter of finding the right teachers who were knowledgeable, passionate, and patient. It seemed like a good time to take a leap of faith so I began my next chapter and started soaking up everything I could on line, took some hands on design classes, and ventured out to meet the local growers, florists and wholesalers. I knew I found my new passion! I wanted to help brides have simply beautiful weddings without going into debt and still have fresh florals that looked amazing and lasted beyond what they might find at the grocery store.
Why should our clients choose you?
I only take on a limited number of clients so that I can fully focus my attention on one event at a time, making the bride feel truly special instead of filling the calendar. I love hearing the background stories of my clients and creating personalized designs that reflect their vibe and honor their budget. I also delight in visiting the growers and wholesale markets the week of the event to find those last minute touches that help make every event unique. Not every florist has time to do that but I am so grateful and blessed that I can in this season of my life and share it with you!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I am available by text, phone, email, Zoom or Google Meet. We just work out the client's preferred method of communication and go from there.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We follow all CDC guidelines and wear masks and/or gloves if desired by the client to help keep our clients safe and happy.
Floral Design
An intentional floral design is more than just pretty flowers! The process typically takes 3-5 days. It includes selecting the freshest products at just the right time, hydrating and processing the stems, and giving them a chance to rest.
Designing begins with your selection of color but careful attention to textures, scent, harmony, placement and proportion is also very important for the most eye pleasing combinations. Storing them at just the right temperature, and delivering them with tender loving care helps ensure your flowers arrive and last for your event.
We offer bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and other wearable florals. These are known as Personal Flowers.
In addition, we offer ceremony flowers that include a variety of archways, Floral Nests that surround the couple, and Aisle Flowers.
We also offer Centerpiece Designs, Sweetheart Tables, and Statement Pieces for receptions.
Sympathy Arrangements
We offer custom made memorial arrangements to honor your loved one. Careful attention and selection is given to design, color, materials, and delivery. We take the time to get know as much as you want to share about the person being celebrated. Our goal is to bring comfort to you and help you celebrate the life of your special person.
