Recently moved to Santa Fe, Lovely Leaves is open for bookings—and I could not be more excited to get back to doing what I love. We'll be delivering wedding flowers to Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque, and surrounding areas. Boutique floral design that's current, intentional, and built around you. We work closely with each couple and/or their wedding planner to weave the florals seamlessly into the full vision of their day—because the details matter, and your wedding deserves to be stunning from every angle. Big focal blooms, lush greenery, textured accents. That's our signature, and we stand behind it.
Investments begin at $1,800 and everything is custom quoted, but to get the process started, we have an easy, quick tool that allows you to price out your Pinterest dreams. Once we're actually talking, I'll pull together a design plan that highlights how your floral inspiration fits with your venue and other decor. For reference, my southeastern brides typically invested $8,000 to $12,000 for florals—some more, some less, but that gives you a real sense of the range for the lush, dramatic pieces we highlight.
EASY PEASY, LEMON SQUEEZY. All of our proposals are custom, but we are taking the guesswork out of what you need vs. what you can afford with this handy dandy flower calculator. Flowers cost money; more flowers—and premium flowers—cost more money. We're about to have fun with the bloom budget you have. We LOVE wedding planners, but we also work with couples planning their own weddings. While I love a wild, humongous ceremony installation, we can appreciate a more subtle floral approach as well. Here are the basics:
Good things take time, and I am still getting a lay of the land here in Santa Fe. Because we moved from Kentucky (Texas before that), I come with a traveler's perspective and fresh eyes ideal for the Santa Fe destination wedding experience of your wildest imagination. We're gonna have a great time with the best vendors New Mexico can bring, flawless design, and all of your nearest and dearest are invited. Building relationships with wedding pros is underway, and come fall 2027, I will be confident to share my NEW friends.
Blogging doesn't fit into our current schedule, but no worries there. You can see the latest + greatest over on Instagram.
QUESTION: How much do wedding flowers cost in Santa Fe, New Mexico?
QUESTION: What wedding flowers are in season in Santa Fe, and which ones hold up best in high desert heat and altitude?
QUESTION: What’s included: delivery, setup, teardown, rentals, and vessels, flipping ceremony pieces to the reception?
Weddings start at $1800.
This covers us on our shipment minimums. A ceremony-only event and a full, tented production are two very different conversations, and I genuinely love having both. I believe every couple deserves gorgeous florals the day they get married.
We go back and forth about this. Overhead for a shop in Santa Fe would likely require $180,000 in revenue BEFORE staffing. In order to keep wedding florals affordable, I currently design out of my home. If you're interested in an in-person consult, we can totally meet for lunch.
Santa Fe weddings are easiest because it's close to home, but we are happy to make a day out of delivering to Taos or Albuquerque and surrounding areas. Delivery fees do increase based on distance and time required to get to and from your wedding venue or hotel.
Each proposal includes a full design plan with a color palette, photos from your venue, planned decor, and even suggestions for linen colors, candles and lighting, and extra elements that could really make your wedding.
Guests may not be able to place it, but flowers set the vibe from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. A planner at heart, I can show you how florals can weave through elements tying your wedding vision together.
“OUR FLOWERS TURNED OUT absolutely beautiful AND WERE even better THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED.”
SHE IS ONE OF THE most talented DESIGNERS I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND HAS AN EYE THAT IS unparalleled to anyone in the business.
THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING PROCESS, SHE RESPONDED very quickly AND TAILORED A custom floral plan ACCORDING TO MY REQUESTS.
Corporate celebrations and meetings are always a blast, and I love working with local non-profits on fundraisers that benefit the community. Our New Mexico brand, Santa Fe Socialite, may be new, but over the past two decades, I've planned dozens of meetings and dinners, plus events to raise dollars and awareness. We have developed a process for creating experiences that will keep your guests coming back, year after year.
