Highland Springs Floral Design
Celebrate the Earth. Celebrate Life. Celebrate Love.
Seasonally Rooted Design
Highland Springs Floral's focus is on stunning seasonal specialty cut flowers. We concentrate on celebration, wedding, event, and gift flowers made with ingredients grown in our diverse gardens.
Like love, growing flowers is a practice in patience. Flowers bloom in their own time. All our designs, from installations, arbors, arrangements, bouquets, table-scapes, crowns, combs, clouds down to tiny pieces in your boutonniere are inspired and created in our gardens. Like our gardens, our designs are honored, collected, and arranged by an artists' hand. Choosing seasonal flowers from our farm and floristry means that each design contains unique bits of branches and blooms, fruits and textures peaking in vibrance on that date of your celebration.
We practice sustainable design, and do not use floral foam. Our goal is not only to provide you with beautiful flowers, but to design a more beautiful world, from the roots up. Whether you are getting married in the spring, summer, or fall we always have an abundance of beautiful flowers to inspire and celebrate you.
For brides getting married outside of our growing season, during the long northern winters, we have potted plant rentals, evergreens, winter bulbs, and dried flower designs available. Designing an abundant wedding for the winter requires some advance notice, so inquire at least 8 months before you celebration.
No matter when you're getting married, if you are interested in full service, personalized, seasonal floral design, in the WNY area, contact us about setting up a free 30 minute floral consultation. Choosing local flowers is better for the environment, while supporting local agriculture, pollinators, wildlife, and markets.
your designer
Hello, I'm Sarah, flower farmer and designer. I'm a photographer, writer, farmer, home cook, green witch and florist. Supporting local economy, reducing waste, and sharing artful ways of living have been my driving goals throughout my life, so it is both grounding and empowering to be settled into stewardship of this land, at Highland Springs.
My designs are inspired by my gardens and landscape. My styles of designs are flower-forward, garden party old world design, dutch masters inspired, wildflower design, and elegantly modern. I take inspiration in the forest, orchards, stream beds, landscape, colors, textures, and all the connections I continue to make, while exploring this land.

We do weddings differently.
Since we grow and use exclusively seasonal flowers, there is an innate natural beauty and surprise built into our designs. We plan our floral contracts around the seasons, colors, styles, and the flowers we wil be growing each year. Our designs begin with your wedding date. We wil help you plan floral designs that create the most impact for your event, while representing the style and vision you have in mind. We love working collaboratively with creative couples to take your vision and connect it to the season here in WNY.

Our quotes price items clearly and transparently.
