We decided to work with Alana after she was the florist for a friends wedding and we loved her work! From the first call, Alana was incredibly thoughtful and detailed in her making our vision a reality. She was very responsive and worked within...

Alana is the perfect example of a professional, attentive, kind-hearted, and personable vendor. She’s not just your average wedding florist. She focuses so much on her client’s overall vision, and with an impeccable eye for design, her final pr...

oduct, ART, becomes a reflection of the couple. For example, my now husband and I are from Hawai’i and got married in Oregon. And Alana was able to meld the two and personally selected flowers that told our love story through flora and fauna; gardenias and orchids for Hawai’i, Queen Anne’s Lace and roses for Oregon…etc. The amount of kindness and attentiveness she possesses is way above 5 stars. Our favorite part of our wedding day: Alana was able to import orchids directly from Hawai’i to create a ‘raining’ hanging orchid installation above our dance floor. We’ll have a special place in our heart for Alana/Amarie Flora, and we will forever recommend her company to all!

We were absolutely astounded by Alana’s floral design for our wedding. She is truly talented. She created 5 hanging installations in the greenhouse where we had our ceremony and reception and both our guests and family (and us!) were blown away...

by the beautiful design. Her attention to detail and ability to tell a story with color and texture is unbelievable. She was the best choice we made for our wedding - hands down. Highly recommend using Alana if you want your wedding to be next level on atmosphere and design.

Alana of Amarie Flora was an absolute dream of a partner to work with for my March '22 wedding in Portland! She turned my conceptual request for a "tropical" "colorful" "fruit-filled" "Taiwan formosa island" floral theme into reality with an i...

ncredible editorial eye, with flawless and seamless execution. At my wedding guests could not stop commenting on the beautiful floral arrangements hanging from the ceiling. More photos were taken of the floral and candle-lit tablescapes than people and the majority of our wedding hashtag contained mostly photos of floral arrangements created by Alana. Alana you stole the show and were an incredible partner -- thank you for designing and manifesting the tropical, Taiwanese-inspired floral arrangements of my dreams! We will never forget your amazing artistic floral work!

Alana gave more to my wedding than I could have asked for. She is very creative and passionate about her work, but she is also highly collaborative and open to feedback. I really appreciated her communication model which was a combination of ...

live calls where we riffed on ideas and clarified details, as well as a PDF where she thoughtfully curated some visuals to make sure I knew how she was translating my vision. This combo made me feel like she was available and approachable, and made it really easy to provide specific feedback as we got closer to the wedding day. When it came to fitting into my budget, she was very flexible and had great ideas about how we could get more bang for my buck. On top of being communicative, creative, collaborative, and overall on top of things, Alana has such a warm and calm presence that made all the difference during this very stressful planning process. And of course the florals turned out absolutely magnificent. Thank you Alana!!!

I highly recommend Amarie Flora for anyone who wants something a little more unique and personalized than your classic wedding flowers.

Oh goodness! I was so excited when my wedding planner found Alana! Within the first 5 minutes of meeting her on a zoom call, we knew we wanted to work with her. Alana is artistic, kind, and so very thoughtful. Alana did all of the florals for...

our summer wedding, including bouquets, boutonnières, a small hair piece, and the ceremony and reception. Here are just a few specific things we loved about working with Alana: - Her work is stunning! - We got married in August 2020, and Alana remained flexible with our changing plans the entire time. - She is highly responsive to emails and questions. I felt like I could ask the same question over and over, and Alana would respond with kindness every time. - She is transparent about costs and scheduling. She provided many suggestions to help capture our vision within our budget. - She is a peaceful presence. I saw Alana the morning of the wedding when she dropped off the bouquets and boutonnières, and, even then, her presence was absolutely calming… not to mention I was blown away by my beautiful bouquet.  If you are looking for someone who is an absolute joy to partner with, and has a wonderful eye for design, Alana of AMARIE FLORA is the florist for you!
