Hey there, I’m Erica.

here’s A little about me

My love affair with flowers began organically: I experienced a centering effect in learning to design and sharing them with others. In 2016 I grew my first cutting garden from a handful of zinnia seeds. Watching them transform a space into bursts of color was nothing short of magic, and each year since then I experiment with growing new varieties.

In addition to my work with flowers, I am a wife, a mom, a runner, a traveler, a former math teacher, and a mitten state native and resident. I design flowers out of my home studio in Linden, Michigan. During the months of April-September, I grow cut flowers in a 1,500 square foot garden in my backyard and aspire to use as much local product as possible in my designs.

About Epsilon Floral

The meaning behind our name: Epsilon is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet and holds a special meaning in mathematical formulas - a nod to my background in teaching and research. In both math and art, the principles of order, quantity, space, and measurement steer the creative process. Similarly, Epsilon Floral takes a cohesive approach to our work, balancing these elements in our designs. Epsilon Floral is guided by five core values:

Valuing our clients’ vision and expectations

Enhancing the vibe and mood for an event

Professional, honest, and authentic service

Sustainable practices, botanicals, and materials

Honoring diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work

In addition, Epsilon Floral rejects all forms of racism, sexism, and homophobia and will not tolerate them in the spaces where we work. We welcome clients of all backgrounds and embrace the LGBTQ+ community through our wedding work.

Clients whom we have served describe our work together as fulfilling, valuable, and transparent. From start to finish, our partnership focuses on meeting expectations and maximizing resources to create a meaningful floral experience.

"Erica was beyond amazing to work with! She made our wedding day complete by providing us with the most perfect, dreamy, fairytale wedding florals. I can not recommend Erica enough and I’m already looking for ways to include her in our lives again! If we lived closer, we’d absolutely take advantage of her flower subscription! Erica was able to stay within our budget and was so flexible with everything and and anything we needed. She listened to every request and detailed our wedding to a way I didn’t even know I wanted or dreamed of. I was in awe walking into our ceremony and reception seeing my dream come to life. Absolute perfection. Thank you thank you thank you Epsilon Floral for EVERYTHING."

"I cannot recommend Epsilon Floral enough. I asked Erica to work with my budget, find all locally-sourced flowers, and to make my flowers look unique. She made bouquets, table arrangements, boutonnieres, corsages, and an installment in our tent and every single item was heart-breakingly lovely. She delivered on and exceeded all my expectations. Her prices were great, she was excellent at communicating with us, and wonderful to have setting up on site. I have received too many complements on my flowers to count. One stranger was so enamored with a photo of my bridal bouquet that they painted it and sent the painting to me in the mail! I wish every bride could have the pleasure of getting their flowers from Erica."

"Erica is the BEST. She is the hardest worker, transparent, will always communicate with what you want, and has extremely reasonable pricing for labor and flowers. You can trust her completely which is something I struggled with during my whole wedding planning process. She handled my design changes with no issues or complaints. She gave me excellent tips and options for how to get my costs down instead of selling me that I "had to do this or I can only do it this way". She works with you and I couldn't thank her more. Most of all, my flowers were BEAUTIFUL. She made my every wish come true. "
