We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Jessica from Aster & Bee! She’s incredibly talented, communicative, detail-oriented, organized, and patient—always going above and beyond our expectations. Our wedding was a blend of Chinese and Western traditions with a chinoiserie-inspired style in a soft pastel palette, and Jessica was an amazing listener who truly brought our vision to life. Every floral element on our wedding day, from the bouquets to the altar arrangements, centerpieces, and accent pieces, was breathtakingly beautiful! Throughout the six-month planning process, Jessica was prompt with email responses and consistently adjusted designs to make sure every detail was just right. She attended our final walkthrough, which lasted over four hours, created our last vase arrangement on-site, and set up the tablescaping on our wedding day with incredible dedication. Jessica also offered insights on design aspects outside of the floral arrangements—she even created several mood boards to help us choose our table linens. On our wedding day, every arrangement exceeded our expectations in scale and beauty. The bridal bouquet turned out far larger than I imagined, and the four statement pieces at the altar were incredibly grand. Repurposed on the stairs in the ballroom, they looked majestic and impactful. The arrangements in our three chinoiserie vases were three times more lush than I ever anticipated. The color scheme, with soft pinks, blues, yellows, and touches of orange and coral, perfectly captured the essence of our fall wedding. We can’t say enough good things about Jessica! She made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a florist, look no further—Jessica is absolutely amazing!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

I root every floral design in sentimental, styled selections- often locally sourced, always hand-selected, and undeniably immersive. Floristry is an art form, an opportunity to create an impactful, personalized environment for your wedding. Each vase, each handheld bouquet, and each dreamy installation will seemingly overflow with your stories. The color, textures, and, of course, the overall aesthetic will contribute to a flourishing design, backdropped by a delightful experience. Based in Richmond, VA, Aster & Bee is a wedding florist dedicated to creating bespoke arrangements to elevate every couple's big day.

Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a full-service wedding florist based in Williamsburg, VA- and I believe flowers are so much more than decoration. They're living art, woven with meaning, memory, and the quiet beauty of your love story. At Aster & Bee, every arrangement is hand-selected, locally sourced when possible, and designed entirely around you- your colors, your textures, your moments. From lush ceremony installations to intimate elopement bouquets, I'll create a floral experience that feels as irreplaceable as the day itself.

Jessica from Aster & Bee Floral came to us highly recommended by our wedding photographer sister. It definitely says something if someone else from the wedding community recommends...

you, and she was not wrong! Jessica was amazing from the initial consultation, to sending us an inspiration board, to crafting an absolutely magical array of flowers for our big day. She crafted gorgeous bouquets and boutonnieres, a beautiful cascade of flowers for the Blue Atlas Cedar where we got married, and amazing pieces for all of the tables at the reception. We truly could not have asked for a better floral artist to make our day the vision we will remember forever.

d in with the flowers to create the funky, jewel-colored centerpieces I'd always hoped for. I don't think anyone else could have pulled them off as wonderfully. We went back and forth on texture, size, and types of flowers, and she was always accommodating, flexible, and as sweet as can be. She is one of those people who truly puts her heart and soul into her work, and it shows. It was tough to find a florist who was willing to work with me on vision, obtain most of their flowers locally and had a modern flair to their design - but she was all those things and more. My main decor for the wedding was her flowers and candles - and her work really transformed the room. I kept sighing in utter bliss over my bouquet - it was the stuff of dreams. If you want to be surrounded by beautiful, ethereal things on your wedding day - Absolutely hire her.

wers, and Jessica's product was above and beyond what I even thought was possible. Florals genuinely make your wedding day so much more beautiful, and we (and our guests!) were blown away at just how elevated the space felt once she delivered our flowers to the venue. Jessica is communicative, responsive (I kept adding florals to our established contract and she was always willing to make my dream happen), trustworthy, and a gem of a human. I literally just communicated a vision, then sat back entirely while she brought it to life. Thank you, Jessica and Aster & Bee team!

florist. She responded to all my questions and emails the same day, and worked closely with my other vendors. I booked her a year out from my August wedding, and she would reach out to ask how planning was going and we kept in touch during that time. She also sourced a lot of my flowers from local Virginia flower farms, which was really important to me, as my partner and I try to support local businesses and wanted to incorporate that in our wedding. I asked Jessica if she could tell me what some types of flowers were in my bouquet (now I know they were dahlias and celosia) and she made me a "recipe card" so I can re-make the design in the future if I see the flowers locally. We have it framed and hanging up in our new house!

ath. Jessica blew it out of the water and made our sweet and intimate vision come to life. I was in love with my bouquet, so much that I decided to have it pressed! It’s very apparent that Jessica loves and is passionate about what she does and that should convince anyone to make her your wedding florist.

she was great to work with! I really did not know much about flowers and just had a few inspiration photos and a color scheme. Jessica went and created a full vision board and design plan for our day that was above and beyond what I could have even imagined. When she delivered the flowers I almost cried because it was PERFECT. I cannot wait to see the photos our photographer got of our flowers! Thank you Jessica!
