About Allium

We believe in the TRANSFORMATIVE power of flowers. There is nothing in the world like the feeling of going into a totally blank space and in a few hours time transforming it into a spectacular wedding or magnificent event.

We work together in a huge old warehouse studio space with high lofted ceilings and a giant window, flooding the space with light and beautiful energy. One of our team is usually the DJ for the day and we typically design to an eclectic mix of music. The atmosphere is fun, light-hearted and joyous in the design process, as designers swap stories and get to CREATE. When we shift into delivery and set-up mode, the whole energy kicks up to high speed as we work together to move our creations out to the venues we are setting them up in.

We also are a CURIOUS group. We love new-to-us flower types and oddball flower specimens. We geek out over mechanics and love deconstructing how installations can work best in a space.

We strive to create an atmosphere that is comfortable for everyone. Transparency and learning with confidence is so important to us, and we want our clients and people who work with us to feel comfortable asking us any question they have. 99% of our clients haven't planned a wedding before. And many of our team are equally new to flowers. So the questions they ask and the curiosity they bring to the table are a really amazing part of the design process, both informing our client's event and creating something that is truly one of kind for that client.

We rarely have the same workday twice. Color palettes and floral availability shift gently through the seasons, giving us new bounty to create with each week.

We work hard to create in a way that is sustainable. We compost our flowers and greens when they are through and we attempt to design in a way that elimates as much waste as possible. We work closely with our local growers too, incorporating their blooms in season to cut down (even if we just scratch the surface) on our reliance on global sources and the high pesticide loads that come from international blooms.
