ABOUT THE FLOWERS

 

“WHY CHOOSE ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS OVER FRESH FLOWERS?”

 
 
  • No wilting or petal loss: Artificial flowers stay flawless—no drooping, smashing during transit, or shedding petals.

  • Allergy-friendly: Perfect for you and your guests—no sneezing, itching, or irritants.

  • Always in season: Enjoy any flower variety, any time of year—no seasonal limitations.

  • Lightweight & easy to handle: Artificial bouquets are lighter than fresh ones, making them easier to carry and hold.

  • Cost-effective: Fresh flowers are often more expensive and are typically discarded after just one day.

  • Odorless: Some real flowers can have strong or unpleasant scents—these won’t overwhelm your space.

  • Weather-resistant: Durable enough to withstand wind, heat, or unexpected rain.

  • Photo-ready all day: They stay picture-perfect, even in summer heat—no wilting or water spots.

  • Low maintenance: No water means no spills, no refills, and nothing to manage throughout the day.

  • No stains: Unlike fresh blooms, artificial flowers won’t leak sap or pollen onto your clothing.

  • Made in advance: Your arrangements can be completed well ahead of time, easing your day-of schedule and stress.

  • Rehearsal-ready: Use your actual bouquet for walk-throughs and photos without worry of damage.

  • Everlasting beauty: Repurpose your florals as keepsakes or décor long after the celebration.

  • Travel-friendly: Perfect for destination weddings—no special handling or refrigeration required.

 

silk flowers

“Silk” flowers aren’t always made of actual silk. Most are crafted from synthetic fibers and advanced techniques to create botanically accurate, realistic-appearing flowers. While artificial flowers have long had a reputation for looking overly fake, that’s quickly changing. Carefully selected, silk flowers have fooled many a guest! An added bonus is that they are practically indestructible!

Sola flowers

Sola flowers are handcrafted from the thin shavings of tapioca root or balsa tree bark. In their natural state they can be a solid ivory or have brown bark on them. With hundreds of styles available, sola flowers offer an impressive variety of shapes and sizes. In their natural state they are somewhat soft and spongy, similar to foam flowers.

fabric flowers

I don’t get requests for fabric flowers too often, but when I do, I love the vintage, “Great Gatsby” feel they bring to an arrangement. Every now and then, I’ll mix fabric flowers into a sola or silk floral design to add depth and variety. Layering different textures always makes an arrangement stand out—and fabric blooms often come with rhinestone or pearl centers for that perfect touch of sparkle!

brooch bouquets

Ahh, brooch bouquets—photos simply don’t do them justice! Their sparkle and shine are guaranteed to catch every guest’s eye. If you’re after a true showstopper for your wedding, this is it. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless elegance of clear rhinestones and pearls or the bold flair of multicolored jewels, I can tailor the bouquet to perfectly reflect your style and personality.

IN ADDITION TO THE VARIOUS “FLOWERS” I USE, I ALSO INCORPORATE A VARIETY OF DRIED, PRESERVED, AND ARTIFICIAL GREENERY AND BOTANICALS TO CREATE YOUR FLORAL DESIGNS!

Hi! I’m Ashelle (pronounced “uh-shell”)—a full-time Physical Therapist Assistant and proud wife to a Physical Therapist (yep, we make quite the duo!). We settled down in Southern Oklahoma with our 3 dogs after getting married. Following an 8-year journey through infertility and four rounds of IVF, we were incredibly blessed to welcome two children into the world. They are our pride and joy, and we cannot imagine life without them!

When I’m not chasing little feet, you’ll find me dreaming of my next trip, sipping heavily doctored coffee, daydreaming about amusement parks, drooling over Corvettes, getting lost in a good book or movie, or gazing at brilliant sunsets that make me wish I were on a tropical beach. I thrive on spontaneity, delicious food, and deep conversations.

I’ve always been artsy—or so I’m told—and my artistic interests have taken many turns over the years. But I've finally settled on the one thing that makes my heart happiest of all: weddings! I handmade most of my own wedding decorations and floral arrangements, and since then, I’ve had so many ideas and visions that make me wish I could do it all over again. Instead, I channel that creativity and passion into helping another woman's dream day be the best, most beautiful day she remembers.

I’ve been designing wedding florals since 2016—nine years of refining my craft so that when your big day arrives, everything is just right! I’d love to work with you to design something beautiful for your big day. I’m quick to respond, love collaborating on ideas, and yes—I’m a total perfectionist. Don’t hesitate to reach out with your thoughts, questions, or wildest floral dreams—I’m always up for a creative challenge!

I chose the name “Ever After Floristry” because I believe the flowers on your special day should feel like part of your fairytale. Designing florals that spark joy long after the day has passed is what I love most—it’s my passion, my purpose, and where I feel most alive. As you explore my website, I hope you’re inspired to let me create something magical for you—something that makes you feel just as extraordinary!
