We believe that the best wedding flowers aren't just beautiful-they are intentional. Clarity in design means every bloom has a purpose, every detail tells your story. Great weddings feel effortless because the vision was clear from the start.
At the heart of what I do is storytelling through flowers. Every couple is different, and your wedding should reflect that. I believe great design is clear, intentional, and emotionally resonant. Whether it's a refined garden ceremony or a bold bright celebration. I focus on creating flowers that feel true to you.
Consultations are available beforehand, giving you the opportunity to discuss your wedding vision and preferences. We design mostly around the Pittsburgh area but do travel into West Virginia and north of Pittsburgh.
I'm happy to help you design something beautiful for your wedding. I want you to look at your photos and love your flowers for years to come. Contact me for more information. We have a minimum of $4k for a Saturday wedding. Contact me for either a custom wedding package or take a look at our pre-designed collections on our website www.sugarflowersandleaves.com

ed help. Gwen immediately understood my vision and came to me with endless amazing ideas. She was able to incorporate pieces I already had and even saved the day a couple days before the wedding with purchasing last minute items for me. Gwen is one of the nicest vendors and I'm truly so happy to have worked with her. Gwen also goes above and beyond to help with set up and room changes, as well as donating florals after the event. She made my wedding day an absolute dream! Thank you so much, Gwen <3

e, and fun colors for my summer wedding and they exceeded my expectations! Gwen is extremely professional and kind. Ever since our wedding I’ve gotten so many compliments about our centerpieces and bouquets. She came up with the idea of incorporating citrus fruits and ribbon in the decor. The pictures speak for themselves! I will be reaching out to them for any future event I have.

There simply isn’t another vendor out there like Gwen and her team at Sugar Flowers and Leaves. From the first call to the day of, they went above and beyond what is expected of a ...
florist. They worked within our budget (which was a very conservative budget for florals) and gave us the best package possible for an incredibly reasonable price. Gwen and her team understood exactly what we wanted and decorated both our ceremony and reception venues better than we could have dreamed of. They were a delight to plan our wedding with and I’d work with them again in a heartbeat if needed for any other event.

nd a few extras for the dinner afterwards. I was even able to have them picked up by a family member prior to the wedding.
Everything was beautiful and super fresh and she really nailed the colors that I wanted. I would highly recommend using Gwen for your wedding, big or small. She really listens to what I wanted and made some great suggestions that were very helpful.
Added plus she even sent me photos while she was working so i could see everything.

wanted so I loved the creativity the women came up with. They created an amazing floral display that wasn’t planned or thought of ahead of time but it became the centerpiece at the wedding and was the perfect touch. Flowers were great quality and looked beautiful! I’ve used this company again for birthday flowers and funeral arrangements. Always happy with the results!!

y wedding. We did the wedding in my parents backyard and she turned it from a rented white tent and chairs into a fairytale. Gwen and her team showed up bright and early to my parents the day of the wedding, with a hurricane hitting us. They all had smiles on their faces and only assured me that the flowers love the rain and they will only look more beautiful. They worked so hard that morning and didn’t let a hurricane stop them. When Gwen heard we may be moving the wedding inside the tent she took leftover greenery and flowers and made the most beautiful backdrop for us to get married in front of. It wasn’t something that was planned it was something she did to go over the top to ensure I had a beautiful place to get married in front of. They even took the greenery and draped it above the dance floor that made feel like a movie. Gwen’s eye for what looks good is a gift, I originally thought I only wanted white flowers everywhere and in all bouquets. After a couple meetings with her she convinced me to have my girls have bouquets that matched their dresses in fall colors so that my bouquet would stand out. I’m so glad I took her professional advice. My husband parents and photographer all said that the girls having the flowers they did truly drew your eye in all the right directions. From the mini bouquets she carefully placed around the barn and bars to the beautiful centerpieces and bouquets there was nothing she didn’t touch with magic. The flowers have been the biggest feedback on my wedding on how over the top beautiful they were. Gwen does things differently in the best way, with her Al La carte options she is able to be flexible and truly personalize every wedding she does. I didn’t feel trapped to pick a package and make it work from there. It was truly curated to me and my wedding. She was on time and professional. Beyond fair pricing and doesn’t let that stop her from making everything amazing. She went to great lengths to find a certain greenery I loved when I told her I didn’t want eucalyptus like everyone else. She got that specific greenery shipped in from Texas just to make my day perfect. There isn’t a detail she will leave undone. It would be a disservice to not have her and her talent at your next wedding or event. I cannot thank Gwen and her team enough. They made my backyard wedding a fairytale.

ind of flowers we wanted and only had wedding colors picked out. I gave those to Gwen and she was the only florist who gave me a proposal that not only detailed the types of flowers that fit those colors but also considered the time of year, the theme of the wedding, and what would match the dress I picked. She kept in constant communication with my husband and I throughout the planning process. Gwen was incredibly supportive and generous to us.
On our wedding day, she and her ladies even helped us with our setup and getting ready for the ceremony/reception. It meant a lot to us personally since we did not have the additional support in the process. Words cannot express my gratitude to her and her team for all that they did. I appreciate what she did to help us with our wedding and could not have asked for a better florist! Gwen is the best florist and person any soon-to-be bride/groom could ask for!
