Bohemian-luxe florals for New Hope, where the river town writes its own kind of romance.
New Hope has a romance all its own. The artsy river town sits on the Delaware with Lambertville just across the bridge, a place of galleries, old inns, and riverside barns where bohemian spirit and real luxury live side by side.
As a wedding florist in New Hope, Melissa-May Designs leans into that creative, unbuttoned elegance. Melissa-May Tarlton founded the studio in 2010, and her full-service floral and design work suits a town that has never been afraid of a little artful expression.
Weddings here are by appointment, with a limited number taken each weekend. For couples drawn to New Hope's free-spirited glamour, that intentional pace keeps every day feeling singular.
Riverside and inn weddings on the Delaware
The New Hope wedding landscape is wonderfully varied, from historic inns and canal-side gardens to riverside barns and the galleries and towpaths that give the town its bohemian edge. With Lambertville a short walk over the bridge, the whole river corridor feels like one long, artful celebration.
Melissa-May Designs meets that spirit with florals that mix polish and wildness, lush and slightly untamed, romantic without ever feeling stiff. Whether your day unfolds in a weathered barn, along the water, or inside a candlelit inn, the setting rewards flowers with movement, color, and a little poetry.
Bespoke floral design for your New Hope wedding
Melissa designs the full floral story, from bridal bouquets and centerpieces to ceremony structures and large-scale installations that transform a barn or riverside room. Every arrangement is bespoke, built to your palette, your venue, and the season, never off a template.
The studio adds full event styling and artistic detailing, including hand calligraphy, engraving, heat foiling, and painting. It is elevated over ordinary, connection over perfection, with every detail made to last well past the final toast.
