About Ashley
Born and raised on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, I’ve been dreaming in stems and petals since childhood. In 2013, Sherwood Florist came to life out of that dream, with a mission to create floral moments that feel as individual as you.
My passion falls within transforming your inspiration, Pinterest boards, word‑of‑mouth ideas, a feeling in your heart, into arrangements that speak beauty and create an unique atmosphere.
Sherwood Florist has earned a reputation for an impeccable sense of color pairing and playful use of texture. Whether crafting soft, bohemian bridal bouquets or dramatic ceremony installations. Through every step, consultation, creation, and the big day, we treats each client’s vision as our own. I’m with you from first hello to final bloom. I’ll always listen to your vision, adapt when ideas shift, and work within your budget.
Outside of creating dreamy florals and adding romance to events, I’m a wife and a mom of two wonderfully energetic boys. My youngest son battles type 1 diabetes which has impacted how I run my business and daily life.
A HEALTH UPDATE
Our lives changed significantly on July 2, 2024, when our younger son Wes, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just two years old. This journey has been both challenging and eye-opening. Type 1 diabetes is scary, but it’s manageable—with constant learning, flexibility, and care. Every growth spurt, illness, or even seasonal change can bring adjustments, and we’re learning to roll with each one.
We’re incredibly thankful for our wonderful endocrinology team, the wealth of resources available, and most importantly, the amazing village of people who have stepped up and supported us in ways we’ll never forget.
With all that being said, I want to be transparent about how this has shifted my availability for Sherwood Florist. I have dedicated my office hours to Mondays and Tuesdays for responding to inquiries, updating proposals, and scheduling calls to finalize details. If a client is unavailable during those days, I’m always happy to make other arrangements when possible. My goal is clear communication and continued dedication to both my clients and my family.
Sherwood Florist will always be my first “baby,” and my love for this work hasn’t changed—it just looks a little different right now. I’m so fortunate to have a strong, reliable team behind me, including my amazing husband. I still get excited every time fresh flowers arrive, still find joy in creating beautiful arrangements, and nothing compares to seeing the look on a bride’s face when we hand her the bouquet.
The commitment is still there, the passion is still alive—it’s simply evolving alongside this new chapter of our lives. Thank you for your understanding, continued trust, and support.

Day of Delivery
Sherwood Florist brings your florals to you. We deliver florals directly to ensure they are properly cooled, taken care of and in perfect condition prior to your event. Pick up is an option if absolutely preferred, however a separate contract is to be signed to release us from flower care and agreeing the florals were in perfect condition prior to leaving our shop.
Break Down
As part of our full service operation, we offer the care of breaking down large installations and floral arrangements at your local venue. This is limited to venues 30 miles away from our shop and is an exclusive service that requires an additional fee. No need to stress about cleaning up your arrangements or getting someone on a ladder to move florals around. Sherwood Florist works with your venue to reset the space.
