You Probably Already Know your Wedding Flower Vibe.
But just in case, let’s make sure this sounds like what you’re looking for…
Creative
over Cringe
Matchy-matchy perfect domes of roses have no home here. Our work is inspired by nature & art, so you can have unusual, locally grown Connecticut wedding flowers — sourced with your vibe in mind from our network of over 25 CT farms.
Unexpected
over Cookie-Cutter
More like bold, sculptural, daring, funky. Our 5-star rating doesn’t come from doing copy-cat flowers, just 100% original and deeply personalized designs tailored around our couples.
Values-Aligned
over Questionable
We’re not one of those vendors with no stances. Here’s what we value: Sustainability, standing with marginalized groups, inclusivity, originality, and love over hate — always. Learn more about our values
Meet Izy
(she/her)
owner, lead designer, & your creativity amplifier
Welcome! I'm Izy, the crazy passionate flower artist behind Rocky. I can’t wait to get to know you!
Since the idea for Rocky began in 2019, I’ve been on a mission to create floral experiences that stop people in their tracks; and in 2023, I left my corporate career to fully dedicate myself to this craft. (Dreams do come true!)
At Rocky, I specialize in bold, sculptural, and unapologetically creative floral design for couples who want their wedding to feel like their own. My approach is collaborative, personal, and guided by my years of experience: I love to start by listening to your story, then interpreting your vision & providing thoughtful ideas to elevate it into art — into something you’ve never experienced before.
You deserve wedding flowers that are beyond “pretty;” they should stop you in your tracks, make your guests gasp, and stay a warm memory for years to come. Me and my team of designers are here to execute that experience. Flawlessly.
“Izy is not your run-of-the-mill florist. She is truly an artist”

Your Floral Experience Looks Like…
As your designer, I'm here to help pull your creative ideas to the surface and conceptualize how we'll make it your own. I’ll also provide advice and direction when making decisions gets exhausting!
Artistic Collaboration
-
From the preliminary call to design deep dive meetings, we'll explore emotions you want to evoke, and how each design presents an opportunity to elevate the experience. My philosophy: you deserve to work with a floral designer who can interpret your identity through an artistic lens - and with your trust, I'm here to actualize that.
Through dynamic color transitions, unexpected finishes such as metals and fabrics, and bold statement pieces, we’ll build a personalized tone designed entirely around you & yours.
Expressive Hyper-Personalization
-
You can expect hand-selected vases from my suite of trusted sources, experimental color theory informing each palette we touch on, and unique materials to create deeper intrigue. Your initial proposal is just the starting point; as we move into the design phase, we'll explore and personalize each distinctive design detail.
I believe true floral artistry involves much more than just arranging flowers — it’s about creating a unique, immersive atmosphere, which we’ll achieve through each layer of your designs.
Multi-Sensory Layering
-
We'll curate the flow from ceremony to reception, and I'll play with textures as a tool for tension, color for depth and dimension, and scale that creates drama. This could look like tablescapes layered with fruit, textiles, and ceramics; ceremony installations that create a world of your own; and scents chosen to enhance the energy of the day.
Consider me your dedicated guide; I’ll bring you into my creative process from initial concept to expansive vision designing, supporting you through every step and never leaving you wondering “What’s Next?”
Supportive High-Touch Planning
-
With multiple design meetings, venue walkthroughs, and coordination with your wedding planner, my process is deliberately designed to make you feel supported - and create a depth you can't find just anywhere. As your floral designer, you can trust that your wedding florals will stand apart.

Frequently asked
questions
-
It’s really a matter of perspective!
Local flower farmers are known to be more experimental in what varieties they grow than importers; which means access to unique blooms you can’t get anywhere else. Plus, many high-demand flowers are ONLY available in the local market, because they can’t be shipped.
That said, if your heart is set on tropical flowers, crisp white roses, or baby’s breath, these simply aren’t available locally - so a different florist would be a better fit for you.
-
Not the way I operate!
Sustainability is foundational to Rocky Floral, from my regenerative pesticide-free flower farm to your event designs. All florals are composted after event break down, feeding back into the soil they came from. All vessels are cleaned and reused, and plastics are minimized at all opportunities.
In contrast to the imported flower industry, which is known to use dangerous levels of pesticides and packaging in single use use plastics, we keep our operation clean and as low as possible in trash production.
-
A resounding YES. While I think it should be a given, I want you to be so certain that I respect and uphold love in all of its beautiful forms. While the wedding industry can be overly heteronormative in language and representation, I personally strive for inclusivity in my language, my actions, and my presence both on and offline.
Being an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly florist is incredibly important to me, and I’m here to celebrate you - not regardless of who you are and who you love - but BECAUSE of who you are and who you love.
-
We don’t do copy-and-paste flowers; our method is all about pushing boundaries and creating completely original wedding flowers. We do this through out-of-the-box brainstorming, design deep dives, vision boarding, and color-theory informed palette curation; with every element built around you & your partner.
-
In general, 8% - 20% of your overall budget will go towards wedding flowers (depending on your priorities). My clients spend an average of $11,500 on Full Service floral design, though I offer several service tiers for a range of budgets.
