Lead Designer and Owner
Ashley Rodriguez is the Lead Designer and Owner of Garden and Grace Florals, a bespoke floral design studio specializing in weddings, destination events, corporate and editorial floral design. Garden and Grace Florals is based in Gainesville, Florida – but our floral designs love to travel as much as we do! We’ve created floral beauty in diverse and unique landscapes – from Costa Rica to Iceland – and even underwater (yes, you read that right!). Ashley’s artistic direction is inspired by fine art and haute couture, pairing classic design principles with unexpected, unique details tailored to each client.
Garden and Grace Florals has built a reputation around bringing a genuine love of the creative process to luxury floral artistry. It is also our firm believe that flowers have the ability to bring much joy and beauty into the world. You will often find us donating or repurposing flowers after events, to further support and uplift the community.
Accepting only a limited number of clients each year ensures a level of customer service that is unparalleled. Garden and Grace Florals is known for creating out-of-the-box and large-scale floral installations in particular, and has been featured in MSN, Elle Taiwan, Carats and Cake, The Knot, Wedding Chicks, Wandering Weddings and many more. Ashley has been featured as a Mayesh Design Star for her unique underwater installations and currently has several floral television segments airing on the BloomTV Network and PBS. Ashley is also a contributing content creator for Thursd.
Garden and Grace Florals sources local and regionally-grown blooms, as well as specialty stems from around the world, depending on a client’s needs.
