We specialize in creating bespoke floral designs for micro weddings with smaller guest counts (typically under 50 guests). Your florals become more than decoration: they become a focal point, an emotional accent, and a meaningful expression of your story.

Why choose micro wedding florals?

  • Personalized Design: We craft arrangements tailored to your palette, venue, and relationship—bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony arches, table arrangements, and keepsake blooms that reflect your personality and the landscape of the beautiful mountains.

  • Elevated Focus on Quality: Fewer pieces means each arrangement receives meticulous attention. We select premium seasonal blooms and native textures to create lush, long-lasting designs with organic composition.

  • Cost-Effective Luxury: Micro weddings allow you to allocate your budget where it matters. Invest in statement florals—larger bouquets, a dramatic ceremony installation, or heirloom-style centerpieces—rather than spreading cost across numerous place settings.

  • Stress-Free Coordination: We handle styling, delivery, setup, and teardown so you can focus on the moment. Our experience with small events ensures seamless placement that enhances your space without overpowering it.

What we offer:

  • Personal Florals: Bespoke bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets

  • Ceremony Focal Pieces: Arches, aisle pieces, altar arrangements

  • Reception Accents: Small table arrangements, cocktail table bud vases, sweetheart table styling

  • A La Carte Add-Ons: Cake Flowers, Petals, Detail Photo Flowers

Hello! I am Taylor Townsend and I am the owner and designer of Mariposa Florals. My journey with flowers began in 2016 when I got the opportunity to intern for a wedding floral company in Oklahoma. That sparked a whole new love and passion and I have been working in the floral industry ever since!

I have a love for nature and the beautiful creation of flowers. My hope and desire is to create beauty out of what is already there, incorporating organic movement and carefully crafted pieces that fit your personality.

When I’m not playing with flowers you can find me hanging with my husband and son in the Colorado mountains. We moved to Southwest Colorado in 2021 to enjoy the wonderful outdoors and we have done just that. Our favorite thing is to kayak on the mighty Animas River.

I am so glad you are here and would love the opportunity to help create something beautiful for your special event. Please say hi and fill out an inquiry form to get started!
