d her and knew she would be able to bring my wishful ramblings to life, to our wedding day where despite a lot of unpredicted variables, they were able to role with whatever we threw at them! Shannon was such a reassuring and calming presence, it’s clear she is in the perfect industry for who she is as a person. I knew her creations would be out of this world, but she truly blew me away. I lost track of the amount of people who came up to me and mentioned how breathtaking they were, they were somehow more beautiful than even I imagined. I will forever be so thankful to Shannon and the Three Roots team!
First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a gre...
at job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped.
From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc.
Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding.
We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of.
Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!).
Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period.
Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!).
Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.
Shannon was amazing to work with! She totally understood my vision and I trusted her with everything flower related. She was flexible when we did a longer head table and did such a...

or my own wedding. Shannon doesn’t just replicate what you see on Pinterest, she creates bouquets and floral arrangements that are unique to you, your wedding and your love story. During our initial conversation, I gave her a little bit of direction on color and design and she executed the perfect proposal that was beyond what I could have come up with myself. She was so accommodating when I wanted to add some additional floral pieces a few weeks before our wedding. And she incorporated some family vases and lace to our flowers to make them extra special and meaningful to us. Everything was stunning and truly felt like it was made only for me. Shannon knows color, design and florals and brings those all together to create beautiful and thoughtful floral designs.
I was absolutely thrilled when I found that I could work with Shannon to bring my wedding day floral dreams to reality. My budget was on the smaller end of the spectrum. Despite th...
is, she went above and beyond to help me make some guided decisions of where I should place my most impactful pieces and she did not disappoint! My ceremony installation was the most perfect touch for my venue, and the bouquets were absolutely mind blowing to behold! I could not be happier with my choice. Choose Three Roots!
The flowers were ✨perfection ✨. Shannon and team took the heat of the day into account, and the flowers were amazing. They popped and fit both the venue and our theme perfectly.

MAZING. I admire her commitment to locally grown flowers. Don't hesitate on booking her!
When it came to the flowers for our wedding, we really wanted something different and unique that reflected personalities of me and my husband. We wanted the colors and the design ...
to be really special. As I was piecing together the colors and style of our day, I wanted to find a florist I could be collaborative and then we found Shannon. She could not have been more accommodating and patient through the process, respecting our vision and our budget while bringing creative ideas to the table. She even helped us to incorporate flowers into our ceremony book by covering the binding! She really took our vision and turned it into something we could have never imagined. As a creative myself, I understand the pressure of turning someone’s inspiration into a reality, and Shannon’s execution was flawless and so special. The flowers were such a bright highlight of the day, with the compliments flying. The arrangements and decor were simply gorgeous and could not have been more perfect.
Shannon was awesome to work with! I didn't really have an idea of what I wanted for flowers, I just told her my color scheme and let her run with it. The final results were BEAUTIF...
UL, from my bouquet to the bridesmaids' to our incredible arch piece! I loved that my bouquet was also 100% American grown! Shannon was also such a light to see on our wedding day. Highly recommend!

ts of the day. She's organized, thoughtful, and knows her craft well. We can't thank Three Roots enough for exceeding our expectations and helping to make our wedding so beautiful!
Shannon quite literally saved the day for our wedding!! We did not originally book her as our florist, but when we received the completely wrong florals the day before our wedding ...
and I called her in a total panic, she stepped in without hesitation and did a phenomenal job. She turned around STUNNING bouquets and boutonnières in just one day. She worked with me to keep me calm and talked me through everything she had that would match our color scheme and theme. They were better than anything I ever expected in that short time frame and guests raved about how gorgeous they were. Our day would never have been the same without her help. I cannot recommend this florist enough!!!
Three Roots did an absolutely incredible job on our wedding! Shannon was very attentive and put so much care into every detail throughout our entire process; from our initial call ...
to the last detail on the day of our wedding. The end result was truly magnificent and exceeded our expectations! Shannon - thank you so much!
