Why We Adore Tulip Event Florals
As a wedding planner, serving Atlanta, Georiga and 30A Florida, one of the most important relationships I build is with our floral designers. These are the creative artists who bring our clients’ wedding visions to life. They transform ceremony and reception spaces with color, texture, and fragrance that is beautiful! I am thrilled to sing the praises of our incredible creative partner, Tulip Event Florals. Co-Owners, Eva Phillips and Heather Jones, are the fabulous duo who have been creating memorable weddings for twenty years! What makes Tulip truly special is their unique ability to seamlessly service our clients in the two popular wedding destinations: the vibrant city of Atlanta and the picturesque 30A area of the Florida Panhandle Coast.
Whether I have a client who is planning a sophisticated ballroom affair in Buckhead or a breezy beach celebration in Watercolor, Tulip’s team is always on point. Their understanding of both aesthetics is invaluable. They can design a lush, classic, timeless masterpiece for a Southern City weekend and create a clean, modern, coastal-chic design for a seaside venue the next. This versatility and their commitment to excellence, no matter the location, make them a planner’s dream come true.

Their work is a testament to their creative passion. We collaborated on a wedding together in Watercolor, Florida, and their arrangements were simply stunning. They perfectly captured the vision of an elegant, garden party, coastal celebration. The way they integrated delicate drapery from the ceiling with their beautiful floral designs in the reception space was pure artistry. The blooms were fresh, the colors were vibrant, and the designs were always delivered with meticulous care.

What truly sets Tulip Event Florals apart is their experience, their professionalism, and their collaborative spirit. They listen to our couples’ vision and needs and work closely with us to ensure that the wedding floral design not only meets but exceeds every expectation of our couples. Their communication is impeccable during the planning process, their execution on the wedding day is flawless, and they handle every detail with a positive outlook, calm, and creative energy, which puts everyone at ease.
If you are an engaged couple considering your dream wedding in either Atlanta or along the beautiful beaches of 30A, we can’t recommend Tulip Event Florals highly enough. They are more than a vendor; they are an experienced creative team who will bring your beautiful wedding day to life just as you dreamed!
We recently sat down with Co-Owner, Eva Phillips, and asked her a few questions about her business and to provide helpful information about wedding floral design to engaged couples.

1. When do you start your business?
Heather and I launched our business in the spring of 2005, driven by a shared passion for creativity and design. At the time, I was working in tradeshow sales but was looking to explore floral and event design. Heather already worked in the field and brought all sorts of valuable experience and insight.
2. Why did you start your business?
It had always been my dream to be my own boss, express my creativity, and work with flowers.
3. What do you love most about your business?
Creating the perfect setting for one of life’s most meaningful events is at the heart of what we do. There’s nothing more rewarding than bringing our clients’ visions to life and seeing the sparkle in their eyes as everything comes together on event day.
4. What should engaged couples know before booking their floral designer?
Gathering inspiration pictures or creating a Pinterest board helps determine their
style. We also strongly recommend that our couples hire a professional planner who can
provide expert guidance on all budget-related matters.
5. What questions should couples ask you?
We are very transparent with how we work and what our process is.
Ask away!
6. When should couples book you?
Ideally, we book clients six months to a year in advance, but we’ve also successfully
brought events to life on much shorter notice.
7. How many weddings do you book a year?
We book between 35 and 50 weddings each year, in addition to a variety of corporate events.
8. What services do you offer?
Every wedding we design is thoughtfully customized to suit each client’s individual style
and needs. While our core expertise lies in floral decor, we can also craft the overall
aesthetic of the event—handling everything from linens, lighting, drapery, and
rentals.
9. Do you travel?
Absolutely!
10. What is the most important advice you can give couples about wedding floral design?
Trust your designer. If you’ve hired them because you love their style, there’s no need to
micromanage—they’ll have your best interests at heart.
11. What sets you apart from others in the industry?
I like to believe that we truly focus on the little details, listen carefully to what our clients
want, and consistently go above and beyond their expectations.
12. Has your work been published?
Yes!
13. Anything else that you think is important for couples to know?
We’ve been creating beautiful events for 20 years, learning something new with every celebration. We truly love what we do and can’t imagine doing anything else. Over time, Tulip has become more than a business—it’s a family.
