About
Hi! I'm Ruth, owner of Yellow Orchid Co., based out of my shop on Main Street in historic Chester, New Jersey. We serve our clients in two ways:
Wedding planning: We alleviate the stress and confusion that comes along with planning, so you can enjoy this special season in your life! I personally guide our clients through the planning process, always mindful of their unique desires, style, and budget. While I commend all couples that take on a DIY attitude, I've seen too many completely burn out before their big day even arrives. We offer a range of planning packages, from day-of coordination to full-service planning.
Wedding flowers: We create gorgeous, unique floral arrangements for weddings that are sure to end up in many Instagram posts! We accommodate any wedding style, from modern and contemporary to rustic and chic—reflecting your vision through amazing floral creations. We've got you covered, from ceremony arches to reception centerpieces, and bride's bouquets to fresh flowers on your wedding cake. Please note: We have a $5,000 minimum for wedding flowers. This is an all-inclusive minimum, meaning it can include tax, design and labor fees, and transport fees. This minimum helps us ensure we can provide the top-quality designs that we are proud of and known for!
What sets Yellow Orchid Co. apart in a sea of wedding vendors?
- We are a woman-owned small business with a big heart! I have a small team of talented designers and associates that work with me to plan and style events. We all have a deep passion for the work we do.
- I am creative: I think outside of the box, have many design skills (graphic, floral, interior), and come up with very unique ways to plan and style events. No cookie-cutter weddings here!
- I am real: I'm not simply a website or a huge company where you become just another project. I'm a real person who talks to real people and creates real relationships. My clients are like family!
- I am honest: I tell it like it is and won't agree with you just to please you or get more money. That kind of business gives me the creeps. I stand behind what I say and am always honest with my clients and fellow vendors.
- I am transparent: My proposals and pricing are clear. I won't hide any fees or up-charges. I also believe that, while wedding budgets cross a wide range of budgets, there is no wedding that's worth going broke over. This is why I believe in transparent pricing—it empowers me to run a business well, and you to make choices that fit within your plan.
It's really a dream to be able to bring a couple's wedding vision to life. The first step I take with any client is scheduling a 20-minute, introductory meeting, which can be held in-person at my shop or on Zoom. During this call, we'll get to know one another and I'll learn more details about your wedding plans. Then I can create a custom proposal for you. Please reach out—I hope to work with you!
