August Sage and Violet

d to repurpose our chuppah after the ceremony, and Rhonda worked with us to construct it in such a way that a portion of the structure could be used during the reception. I cannot recommend August Sage & Violet enough!

wned business. Rhonda was delightful and executed our vision to perfection. She helped us clarify what we were looking for and gave us plenty of notice and vision boards to consider as we approached the day. We were just overjoyed with how it all came out: it made our day that much more special. We had gorgeous elephant leaf center pieces and a verdant chuppah to die for. We HIGHLY recommend Rhonda and her team: we loved their work so much we even shouted it out at our wedding.

of having tons of greenery (both on the tables and hanging from the string lights) as well as a long hanging bouquet and limited colors (besides white) in all of the floral arrangements. She also made some beautiful succulent boutonnieres for the groomsmen. She graciously did an on-site consultation so I could walk her through every detail, and she offered advice (having worked at the venue previously). She's so talented and knows how to make use of all spaces. Additionally, the day of the wedding, she informed us that the garland might not make it for our table arrangements due to a hurricane that hit the city a few days before. She personally drove out to meet the vendor to get the garland for the tables to ensure we had our perfect vision completed. She has true dedication! A delight to work with!

o grab them all when leaving. Our wedding was a fall Halloween wedding and the flowers were moody and elegant with a rustic natural beauty that really was the focal point of our event. Thank you Domenic & Michelle

's ability to see your vision even when you can't fully describe it, and bring it to life more beautifully than you could imagine! The venue looked absolutely breathtaking, and it's all thanks to Rhonda and her team!

perfectly. The price was very reasonable and she was wonderful to work with. Our guests raved about the flowers all night long. Highly recommend!

uge budget to work with for our flowers, and she made me feel extremely confident that we could make it work. And everything looked better than I could have imagined!! She not only did flowers but was able to help round out the mood with votive candles and greenery. I was also extremely stressed about what to do with breakdown at the end of the evening, and she and her team took care of that as well. Overall, our experience with Rhonda was great and I would recommend her to everyone!

le mood we we're trying to set, and made it happen while barely asking a question along the way. Somehow she just knew exactly what to do. On our wedding day, we were BLOWN AWAY by how gorgeous everything was. She went above and beyond to help us achieve the aesthetic we were looking for, and the moody, stunning florals were the centerpiece of our wedding. The whole evening was candlelit with brass candelabras, and it was the most romantic place I'd ever set food in by the time August Sage and Violet was done with it. Rhonda, thank you for making everything so easy, and for everything you did to pull off the most beautiful day of our lives. Would highly recommend to any bride looking for a florist with an unmatched attention to detail.

edding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. We knew from the beginning that a well-crafted vision for the floral arrangements would be instrumental in the naturalistic, fall-palette, upscale-rustic ambience we wanted, so Rhonda’s vision fit in perfectly. When we discussed this plan with her, she understood it and resonated with it very quickly, and she created a beautiful and detailed proposal that served as our aesthetic and color inspiration for the rest of the design and planning process. From there, there was no micromanaging needed, and the team didn’t require any more input than what we wanted to give. Equally wonderful and professional at the back end of the planning process, she came to the venue for a walkthrough, and was even able to accommodate several last minute requests and changes we made. We feel the AS&V team’s exceptional artistic work speaks for itself, but equally important, they were professional, communicative, and very easy to work with throughout the whole process. Overall, we’ll always remember the breathtakingly beautiful floral arrangements, and the love and passion for the work that was clearly evident in the finished product!

d never realized that flowers could be so incredibly beautiful before our wedding." This really sums up the arrangements that Rhonda and her team put together for us, and we are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her. Rhonda works with seasonal, local flowers, which made us feel like we had made more sustainable choices, which also really helped. I often worry about the carbon footprint of a wedding, and keeping everything local helped us feel confident that we were lessening our impact. Our venue was small and decor was minimal, so it was essential that the flowers be stunning, and they were. At present, I'm sitting at my table, two days after my wedding, gazing at the still-fresh arrangement I took home, as well as the blooms from my (now cut-open) bouquet, which are thriving in water (alas, the greens only lasted the night, as is to be expected). I used this florist without question after seeing the arrangements she made for a friend's wedding. However, our arrangements couldn't have been more different than what my friend used, and were equally stunning. It shows the range and flexibility which only true artists possess. Finally, what an amazing touch to put MINT in a bridal bouquet! It looked and smelled amazing.

vision to life and for working around our budget! <3 Missy & Marco

ept commenting that they were the most beautiful wedding flowers they had ever seen. Rhonda made this happen with just one in-person meeting and a couple of brief emails. From the get go she made adjustments where needed to fit our budget without sacrificing impact or vision, so there was no back and forth or negotiations needed. I don't think you can go wrong with Rhonda.

beat, and her manner was so calm and professional—a welcome relief in a sea of aggressive up-selling. She's the real deal. Talented, reliable, and humble. You won't regret working with Rhonda!

nd adding greenery in the wood beams above our head table. She did beautiful personal bouquets, and these giant lush urns for the ceremony. I love flowers and I am so happy we went with August Sage and Violet because all the floral design really made our venue look amazingly beautiful the day of!
