Mayfly Flowers
Meet Amy Roberts...
Amy got her start in the floral industry right out of college. Floral design was always something that had interested her, so she decided to give it a shot. During that time, Amy discovered a talent for working with flowers and an eye for design. She spent time working for Jones the Florist and the Hyde Park Floral and Garden Center (both in Cincinnati, Ohio) before moving to Oregon to pursue her graduate studies.
​
After doing the flower arrangements for her own wedding, Amy re-discovered everything that she loved about "playing" with flowers. She had always appreciated the creative aspects of the floral industry and the joy of creating something beautiful for others to enjoy, but found the significant retail mark-up disconcerting (especially when the word "wedding" is thrown into the conversation). When Amy realized that she could use her skills and knowledge to help other couples avoid paying more than they had to for their wedding flowers, Mayfly Flowers was born!
Amy works full-time for the Fisheries Commission, and continues to enjoy playing with flowers on the side! Her husband Matt is an enthusiastic supporter who often finds himself enlisted to assist with deliveries. They share their home in SE Portland with their rescue dogs who love to sniff all the flowers when it's a wedding week in the house!
Amy specializes in working with couples on a budget who would not normally be able to afford professionally designed floral arrangements for their weddings. As a former budget bride herself, Amy has a special fondness for DIY-ers, and enjoys utilizing her talents to create beautiful wedding arrangements for those couples who may not have the time or skills to do so themselves.
Amy understands the financial strain of putting on a wedding, and will work with your budget- whether large or small- to develop a design plan that reflects your individual needs and style. Amy whole-heartedly believes that everyone deserves to have beautiful flower arrangements for their wedding, regardless of their financial situation!
