Adaptation Floral Design

Florist

My road to floral design began after graduating from college with a degree in communications, when I started working for a marketing company. Six months in I realized I wasn’t meant for the marketing world and devised my grand plan and by grand plan I mean. 1) Apply for a job at the flower shop around the corner from my house. 2) Buy a beach cruiser with a basket so that I could take home fresh flowers everyday from work. It wasn't well thought out but after my boss handed me the keys without any direction and through a lot of trial and error, I realized that floral design was what I loved doing and I had found something that I was really good at. After gathering experience working for other companies, in 2007 I decided it was time to branch out on my own and open a store. Adaptation is the reflection of my varying taste and eclectic style. I love that the shop is always evolving and I’m constantly inspired by the different projects, challenges and weddings that are presented to me. There is nothing more fun than being able to craft a look that perfectly fits someone’s style. I honestly can't imagine doing anything else. Read more

    We hired Adaptation Floral Design for my wedding after our initial conversation with Callie; we actually had a few more appointments with other florists, but after being stood up by one, decided to give up looking because we were SO happy with our first experience. Callie was wonderful to work with--totally understood my vision and was able to match that in reality. I was amazed at the high quality of the flowers provided during my wedding--each flower was fresh, perfectly opened, beautiful colors, etc.. Day of, I only saw Callie and Liz for a few moments while they were setting up, but it was great to see their smiling faces and I trusted that I was in great hands. A few pictures included with post!

    Adaptation Floral Design was fantastic for our wedding on June 24. Our flowers were fresh, beautiful and unique. Everyone especially loved the touch of a Georgia peach in our centerpieces. Liz was a dream to work with and helped bring my vision to life. I would definitely recommend Liz and her incredible team.

    Liz and her team at Adaptation are absolutely incredible. She was the florist for our wedding and gave us exactly what we wanted and worked with our budget. We call Adaptation now for every occasion that warrants an arrangement, which is something we've never done before. Gone are the days of grocery store bouquets. I am always in awe of her flawless and elegant arrangements and her ability to accommodate our requests.

    I had the pleasure of working with Liz from Adaptation Floral Design for my May 2017 wedding. The bouquets were absolutely BREATHTAKING! I received so many complements on the floral design. When I first met Liz for our planning meeting, I definitely did not know much about flowers. I showed her what I had saved on Pinterest for ideas and she made it happen. All of the floral decor was better than I could have ever dreamed. I love Liz and all the magic she creates!

    We had a fantastic experience working with Liz on the flowers for my wedding. She was bubbly and kept it real. I showed her about 10 pictures on pinterest and she was able to very accurately extrapolate my tastes from that (I didn't know the name of hardly any flowers when we started planning so all I could do was show her pictures.) I was never worried that the flowers wouldn't be perfect, and on the day-of they were! Everything was absolutely beautiful and exactly as I had imagined. She even let us incorporate some manzanita branches my mom bought into the wedding arch. I couldn't have asked for more and would definitely recommend her/Adaptation to anyone looking for a wedding or regular florist.
