Hi, I'm Jess
 owner & lead designer

We’re a Vermont wedding floral studio rooted in seasonality, sustainability, and a genuine love for flowers - every stage of them. From seed to stem to centerpiece.

I grow many of the blooms I design with in my own gardens, learning the rhythm of the seasons firsthand. Spring peonies, fall foliage, fresh-cut dahlias, delicate anemones - each flower has its moment, and I believe in letting it shine when it’s at its best. If there’s an in-season bloom you’re dreaming of, I can often grow it specifically for your wedding. To support our local economy, I also source thoughtfully from local Vermont farms and trusted wholesalers.

My path into floral design wasn’t linear—but it was always creative. I’ve spent almost a decade in the wedding world as an entrepreneur (formerly as a baker), working closely with couples, planners, and venues. Along the way, Vermont wedding flowers became the medium I couldn’t stop thinking about. I launched Flora Vita to do what I love, growing & designing wedding flowers. That background means I don’t just design beautiful arrangements - I understand timelines, logistics, and how a wedding day actually flows. If you want someone that obsesses about the details - like finding just the right shape of ikebana vase or sourcing that unique flower that elevates your design - you've found the right florist. 

 

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full-scale celebration anywhere in Vermont, like Burlington, Woodstock & Stowe, you’ll be working with a florist who values intention, artistry, and ease. Every proposal is fully custom, designed to reflect your style - not a template.

We'd love for you to check out our services, floral design portfolio or inquire about your date!

 

Outside of weddings, we also offer seasonal arrangements for moments worth celebrating, from Mother’s Day to Valentine’s Day, with delivery throughout northern Vermont.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
