About us
EPONYM FLORALS is a luxury floral and design studio based in Monkton, central Vermont. We create artful, garden-inspired floral experiences for events, brands, and spaces in Vermont and beyond. We are passionate about creating nuanced and atmospheric floral arrangements that transform your event into something truly special.
It’s impossible to work closely with flowers and not want to grow everything yourself. Each year, we grow special varieties of annuals, and our perennial beds are continuously expanding. For the things we don’t grow ourselves, we have close partnerships with local farmers and independent growers. We always source locally first, and are considered about the blooms we import for events.
eponym /ep· onym/ n. one for whom or which something is or is believed to be named.
Iris was named after a painting of a flower (by Georgia O’Keefe) so it’s no great surprise that life led her to floristry. Previously, she has worked in bespoke textiles for bridal and runway in NYC, as well in community-based psychiatric nursing. She’s concerned with floral artistry and the feeling flowers evoke.
Principles that guide us
-
Let us take some weight off your shoulders and give you a much-needed sense of calm and ease throughout this life-changing, and yes, very emotional journey.
-
Like any good relationship, our partnership is built on trust. It will serve as the foundation to ensure we can tell your unique love story. After we collaborate with you to establish a common visual goal, we then liaise with your wedding planner, venue, and other wedding vendors to bring this vision to life.
-
Natural wedding flowers. Our arrangements are an expression of nature and completely seasonal. We love designing with locally grown blooms and other foraged materials and believe these arrangements often feel most soulful. Our studio is all about bespoke design and attention to detail, from gestural shapes to nuanced color palettes and unusual flower varieties.
-
We are champions of sustainable floristry, curating local flowers and exclusively using sustainable and reusable mechanics, never floral foam. At the end of each event we return every twig, leaf, and petal to the garden for composting - completing the natural cycle and nourishing the soil for future flowers. We’re proud to support strong community by acquiring the flowers we don’t grow or forage from local farmers and growers.
We are a design studio with a passion for the creative process. Our offering is tailored to couples and clients seeking a design partner along the creative journey. We care about your experience of collaborating with us.
Our full-service wedding floristry includes floral concept development, design, and styling, with options for ceremony installations, personal flowers, cocktail hour florals, and immersive dinner tablescapes.
