Hi! Iā€™m Carly.

Travel and natural beauty are my vices. And a delicious noodle bowl if I'm being honest. I'm always searching for that sweet spot where nature, people, and architecture intersect to form jaw-dropping and unforgettable moments. From marsh sunsets to the hustle and bustle of a busy street market, I believe you can find inspiration in almost any situation. Whether you're experiencing a new culture or simply discovering a different perspective at a familiar place, beauty is always waiting to be uncovered.

My design aesthetic has been influenced by the magnificent beauty of the Lowcountry, where in Charleston, SC I lived, explored, and loved for eight years.

I'm now back to my childhood home of Cincinnati, Ohio. My little squad consists of my husband, Adam, our baby boys, Elliott and Thomas, and our goofy sheepadoodle, Taco. I'm truly happy to be back in Cincinnati and to see how the Queen City has grown and developed over the last decade.

I would absolutely love to meet over coffee to discuss your wedding or event. Please feel free to email me at carly@carlymessmer.com or fill out the form on our Contact page. My passion is to create thoughtfully designed wedding flowers that reflect your personal taste and style. I look forward to speaking with you!

xx, Carly Messmer
