In my previous career as a professional cook, I worked in dozens of kitchens—from restaurants, and corporate cafés, to food trucks and catering companies in Oregon, California, and New York. And in that time I catered (literally!) hundreds of weddings. So when I began my journey as a flower farmer-florist five years ago, it was only natural (and so familiar!) to offer special event floral design services for our clients. I understand the importance of what flowers bring to an event.

I’ve included a sampling of our Event Florals portfolio below. If you are interested in booking our floral design services for your next special event, please fill out the “Event Florals” listing in our online shop, and we’ll get back to you shortly! Thank you for your interest!

“I heard about Kelly from my dear friend Carolyn. She raved about the beautiful flowers Kelly made for her wedding photo shoot and the flower comb she made for her as well. I was instantly convinced I wanted Kelly to do my wedding flowers! When I started talking with Kelly she was very kind, helpful and inquisitive about my colors, overall theme/vibe for the wedding and inspiration photos I had in mind. Our colors were burnt orange, green and gold and she got it so on point. I loved that she grows all the flowers in her own garden and her partner makes all the boutonnière bud vases!  I was over the moon with how beautiful the flowers were on our wedding day and they lasted for so long! The flower comb she made for me was also beautiful and made out of dried flowers so I can keep it forever! I can't recommend her enough. She was a dream to work with, an amazing floral artist and a sweet kind person. Thank you so much Kelly!!!”

“I first saw The Petal Dispatch at an outdoor market in Portland and knew I had to have a comb and boutonnières for my wedding. Once we started talking about options I knew I wanted Kelly to do all of my flowers! It was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding. When the bouquets arrived we were all in awe of how beautiful they were! I gave her full license to do whatever colors and flowers she wanted and the results were AMAZING! I can't recommend her enough.”

“I have been such a fan of The Petal Dispatch since I first saw them at a market, so when I started looking for wedding flowers I was super happy to see that they had done some beautiful weddings and were perfect for my budget!  Kelly was so easy to work with, she answered so many questions and gave super helpful advice and options to help me figure out what would work best in my venue. Any change I wanted to make or random question I could come up with was answered quickly with an incredibly kind and professional response. When the flowers were delivered they were exactly what I had in mind and fit my venue and colors perfectly, I got so many compliments from friends and family! Having such kind and talented vendors like Kelly definitely took away so much stress and made my wedding absolutely perfect! .”

"We worked with Kelly at The Petal Dispatch for our October 2023 wedding. She was so easy to work with. We gave her very minimal direction and encouraged her to work with whatever was seasonal and that she thought best and, boy, did she deliver. Our flowers were gorgeous. I had gotten a quote from one of two other florists and Kelly's pricing was both transparent and incredibly competitive. She was super flexible and responsive and worked with me to modify a few small things in keeping with our wishes, such as the way the boutonnieres were designed and when I wanted to add another floral hair comb last minute. I'd recommend The Petal Dispatch to any couple for their wedding!"

“Kelly's florals for our wedding were truly inspired and jaw-droppingly beautiful. I first encountered her work at a fundraiser for a Filipino cultural center and then met her again at a farmer's market, which is when I realized that her instincts for color and a gorgeous natural aesthetic were exactly what I was looking for. We sent her some rough inspo photos of the styles we liked and ultimately trusted her to bring our vision of a bright tropical party to life. It's really special to actually know the person who grew your flowers, and I think it's incredible that Kelly plants seeds based on what her clients want to see. The bouquet and centerpieces were stunning, but her skills really shined with the beautiful arbor installation she came up with. I can't say enough about Kelly's professionalism and ability to create truly gorgeous art out of flowers. Thank you, Kelly!”

“We are so happy we were able to work with Kelly and The Petal Dispatch for our wedding! From the very beginning, she truly listened to our vision and helped us bring it to life. She created my stunning bridal bouquet, the aisle and arch décor, and also provided buckets of flowers for our DIY table arrangements. She also seamlessly transitioned the arch florals to our sweetheart table, ensuring everything flowed beautifully throughout the day.

We requested that she use local and seasonal florals/herbs as much as possible, including rosemary and lavender. She incorporated our preferences perfectly alongside an exquisite selection of flowers that made everything feel natural and romantic. Kelly’s talent, professionalism, and kindness made the entire experience stress-free and so enjoyable. If you're looking for a florist who truly cares and has a great sense of style and design, we highly recommend The Petal Dispatch!”
