We are so excited to feature Zest Floral on our preferred list! Every interaction we have had with Hailey and her team has been fantastic. Their flowers are beautiful, their team is friendly and professional, and our brides love them!
Check out some questions we asked them below:
Tell us about how Zest was founded:
Zest was founded in 2010 by Hailey Bernstein. Hailey has always loved the event world, especially floral and decor. Growing up, her mom used to do flowers, and Hailey would often help her, which was where she got her first exposure. After graduating from USC with degrees in communication and business, Hailey worked at a PR/social marketing agency and would do freelance floral and event design on weekends. Hailey started getting more and more requests, and finally realized she couldn’t juggle the two. She decided to follow her passion and start Zest!
What does your company specialize in?
Zest is a boutique floral and event design studio specializing in weddings and events. We work with clients to craft one-of-a-kind events and bring unique visions to life through couture florals, creative event design, custom and specialty décor, and overall event styling. Zest was voted “best florist” of 2012 by readers of Oregon Bride Magazine.
What sets you apart from other vendors in your category?
At Zest, our style tends to be clean, modern and chic, with a bit of sass and flair. Everything we do is custom, artfully styled and well-tailored for each client. Second to flowers, of course, we love fashion, interior design and architecture, which play pretty strong roles in our designs.
What is your favorite part about weddings?
Our favorite part about weddings is-hands down-watching the look on a bride’s face when she sees her flowers for the first time. There’s nothing more gratifying.
What advice would you give to a couple planning their wedding?
Most often, our inspiration comes directly from the couples. We encourage brides and grooms to send over pinterest boards, bring magazine tear-outs, photos, favorite colors, flowers, family heirlooms, etc. We then piece these elements together to help bring their unique vision to life.
Note a favorite review from a couple or describe favorite story from a wedding:
Below is a sweet note from one of our brides this past summer. We feel so extremely fortunate to work with the most incredible clientele. The thanks are completely mutual.
“We cannot say enough good things about Hailey and the team at Zest! From our first meeting, I knew that we had found the right person to create our centerpieces and decor. When I told Hailey about my vision – bold pinks and purples, found objects and vintage containers, she totally understood and ran with it. On our wedding day, the flowers exceeded all of my expectations. I knew they would be wonderful because Hailey was taking care of them, but they were FANTASTIC. All of our wedding guests kept raving about how amazing the flowers and decor were. I could not have been happier. If you’re looking for a hands-on floral designer who will really listen and work with you to make your dream a reality, you’ve found that person in Hailey.”
