About Violet Hour Floral Design

Violet Hour Floral Design

Amy Gilday, Founder

Violet Hour is a recurring daydream brought to life for owner and founder Amy Gilday. After 16 years of practicing law, working with flowers on the side every chance she got, Amy left her job to become a florist. She completed FlowerSchool New York’s floral design program and freelanced with various New York floral designers before beginning to take on her own clients. With the love and support of her amazing wife, two spoiled cats, and dear friends and family, she launched Violet Hour Floral Design in her beloved home of Brooklyn, NY. She’s never been happier.

Amy’s design style is elegant but playful, with a bit of a vintage vibe. She focuses on texture in addition to color and shape to create lush and sensually engaging arrangements. That said, Violet Hour is agile and designs florals in a variety of styles to suit each client’s unique aesthetic. Let's chat and get to know each other a bit so we can design wedding florals that will perfectly suit you. Violet Hour seeks to be a welcoming, inclusive, and affirming partner for clients of all races, gender identities, sexualities, abilities, bodies, cultures, and identities.

They are very nice and easy to talk to, and they tried to understand what we want exactly. Also, they are flexible about their plans, and they made it fits perfectly to the venue. The result was beautiful and magical. We were very satisfied.

We could not have asked for a better florist than Violet Hour Floral (and more specifically, the owner, Amy)! From the very beginning, she completely understood our vision and executed it flawlessly. Every arrangement was stunning, with the colors and details perfectly reflecting what we had discussed. Amy made the entire process easy and stress-free, always communicating clearly before and after the event. She is not only incredibly talented and creative but also warm and thoughtful. When I saw my bouquet for the first time, I burst into tears—it was that perfect. She even worked with my mom to incorporate a custom piece made from my mom’s wedding dress, making it even more special. Amy is truly gifted, and we are so grateful for her artistry and kindness. If you’re looking for a florist who will bring your vision to life with care and creativity, look no further!!!

Amy is fantastic to work with! She walked us through step by step to determine what we'd need, what would work well, things to consider. While she can execute whatever specific designs you envision for your event, she can also offer guidance and suggestions to help develop your vision for the day if you need some help (like we did!) Amy was prompt and thorough in her communication; florals were frankly the least stressful part of our entire planning process thanks to her! Everything looked absolutely perfect. From the bouquets & unique boutonnieres, to the ceremony pergola, to the reception decor - she exactly captured the vibe we wanted. You'll be in excellent hands trusting her to decorate your event.
The absolute best floral designer!

Amy went above and beyond bringing our vision to life. Her attention to detail is unmatched and her calm presence was just as important throughout the planning process including the day of the wedding. We had to pivot due to weather and Amy did so with such ease. There was never a concern with how it would turn out. Our guests are still talking about the florals and the incredible 10ft moss wall she created for us! Amy is such a creative and kind person that we would recommend over and over again. We absolutely loved working with Amy!
