I'm Jess and and I created Sassafras around 15 years ago. Having been in the industry for 29 years, I’ve worked on countless weddings and events and I’ve honed a style that is abundant, generous and utterly romantic. I specialise in large and upscale wedding floral design in the Yarra Valley, Melbourne. I love diving deep into the details that bring wedding flower design to life and am constantly amazed by the variety and nuances that we can bring out and showcase in different ways. When I'm not flowering or designing I am loving life with my husband Matt and our four children in the Hills, surrounded by forest and our ever growing menagerie of animals. I believe that not only can you not have too many flowers, but you can never have too much Cholula hot sauce on pizza.

Thank you so much to you and your team for the floral arrangements on the 18th. They were amazing and the smell of fresh flowers in the barn was just what we needed after a hectic day! You really brought our vision to life and we are eternally grateful. Thank you so much.
You brought everything to life so beautifully, and we received so many compliments on how gorgeous, vibrant, and ethereal the floral arrangements looked. The colour scheme was perfectly harmonious, with just the right amount of contrast to make everything stand out. I feel like I have so many words to describe the flowers, yet none seem quite perfect—they were simply captivating.
Your talent, attention to detail, and care truly added to the magic of our special day, and I’m so grateful for everything you did. Thank you for being part of it and for helping to make it unforgettable!!!

She took the time to understand what we wanted and somehow made it even better than we could have imagined. Her designs were breathtaking, and the attention to detail was unmatched. Not once did I have to worry—she handled everything with such professionalism and ease.
The flowers were stunning and added so much beauty and elegance to our special day. Guests couldn’t stop raving about them!
