Amarie Flora

Alana is amazing! We spoke for a couple hours and she compiled a fantastic lookbook/vision board that I then used to plan so many other parts of our wedding. The installation she made for our ceremony was absolutely stunning and embodied all our fall foliage dreams. She really listened to all our requests and even foraged for parts of our displays to bring in Oregon's natural beauty. Our guest couldn't stop raving about how beautiful our wedding was and how much they loved it, and I truly think the gorgeous warm autumn vibes Alana's floral work gave off were a huge part of that.

Alana is not a florist, she is a true artist that can bring your vision to life in a way that you maybe couldn't have even envisioned for yourself. She takes the mood you want to feel, the colors that you're drawn to, and weaves them into a vision that will make your ceremony and reception so true to you, your love, and the experience that you want to create for your guests. She will create the opposite of a Pinterest copycat wedding and help bring your unique wedding to life in a way that you'll treasure forever.

Working with Amarie Flora was one of the BEST decisions we made when it came to planning our dream wedding/reception. COVID threw some curveballs that made planning exceptionally difficult, but Alana was the core element that turned our event into a vision. She is one of the kindest souls you'll meet. She truly cares about getting to know your love story, then representing it with her floral magic. She excels in her communication, enthusiasm for her work, professionalism, and endless support.

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!!!

Alana from Amarie Flora was a treat to work with for our wedding. Even just talking with her through phone calls, she clearly understood the vision for our wedding and she was easy to reach and communicate with. Our wedding venue ended up changing 3 weeks before (due to covid restrictions). Even though we changed the vision a bit 3 weeks before due to the venue change, she was flexible and continued to be a joy to work with. She made our wedding day feel extra special with her gorgeous one of a kind floral designs. 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!

WINTER MAGIC. Alana is a true artist and visionary. Every guest still comments on the winter wonderland she masterfully orchestrated for our urban wedding. Each piece is so expertly and intricately created, with each element thoughtfully chosen to be included. She is the kindest soul we could have ever hoped to work with and will give your event more love, imagination, and creativity than you ever thought possible. Alana crafted the wedding backdrop of our dreams and created a warm and dreamy dinner party atmosphere beyond my wildest imagination. Seeing her artistry come to life the day of my wedding took my breath away. We are forever grateful for her heart, and her talents. She is a gift to the art world and the wedding industry and we are so lucky to have worked with her.

Alana is the best! She took the time to personalize all of the florals to exactly the look and style that I wanted. She has a background in design and architecture which gives her a unique perspective when she comes up with her creations. She came up with ideas that I never would have thought of on my own (flower disco ball anyone!!??) and she picked flowers that perfectly fit my color scheme. Alana was very easy to communicate with, transparent with schedule and cost, organized, and on time with everything she did. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event.

Where can we even start?! We have so many positive things to say that a short review seems impossible. Alana is the kindest and most creative soul. She is right there with you through multiple venue changes, cancellations and even a pandemic. Her flexibility and optimism far surpassed our expectations. Her art speaks for itself. She has the ability to bring your vision to life. She brings in texture, color and nature to create the perfect ambiance. Her creativity is a true gift. We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such a wonderful soul. I can not recommend her work ethic, spirit, and creative eye enough. If you have the opportunity to work with her, she will bring true bliss to your special day. Whether it be in the mountains, the ocean or a industrial building, Alana is always up for your wedding adventure. We cannot thank you enough for the warmth and memories you have given us. We hope that you continue to share your gifts with the world. Cheers to you! Andrew and Sarah M.
