At Amanda Jewel Floral + Design, we pride ourselves on hard work and the ability to make even our craziest ideas come to life.

Our passion for design is what drives us to make every relationship with every single one of our clients a special one. We love to think outside the box and create beautiful and unique designs for each one of our amazing clients.
