An otherworldly Milwaukee floral studio.

Ritual Floral is a home-based, woman-owned, wedding, event, & editorial floral studio.

  • Services

    We primarily focus on flowers for:

    • weddings, microweddings, and elopements
    • baby showers, wedding showers, and rehearsal dinners
    • corporate events and retreats
    • galas, parties, dinners, and other events
    • photoshoots

  • Location

    Our studio is located in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee.

    For weddings & events, we service the city of Milwaukee and its surrounding areas.

    We do not have a storefront for in-person shopping.

  • Deliveries

    Though we no longer offer daily flower deliveries, we do open orders for major flower holidays like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day.

    We'll update our website in the weeks leading up to those holidays with ordering instructions, so please check back!

Flowers Are a Ritual

Whether or not we believe in magic, our lives are full of rituals.

Births, birthdays, marriages, deaths... these moments punctuate the human experience, and we celebrate & honor them through ritual.

And of course, many of our most meaningful rituals wouldn't feel complete without flowers! They've been a part of our lives throughout history.

Flowers are a ritual, and Ritual is flowers. Let us bring a little extra magic, flower magic, to your most beloved rituals.

☺ Real Customer Reviews ☺

  • "I was so impressed with Nikki and Ritual Floral and highly recommend them. She prepared such lovely table centerpieces, taking into account the venue location. Her selection of flowers was perfect! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were."

    —Sharon D.

  • "Working with Nikki for my elopement was absolutely wonderful! I felt like we had a great connection from our first conversation and had complete trust in her creative process, and it definitely paid off—the flowers were one of the most unique and worthwhile elements of my elopement. Wholeheartedly recommend."

    —Aileen A.

  • "Nikki was an absolute delight to work with for my husband and I's micro-wedding here in Milwaukee! We were particularly impressed by her proactive communication, thoughtful attention to detail, and high level of craftsmanship"

Our Efforts Towards Sustainability

Perfection is the enemy of good. And so we will never claim to be the most sustainable florist in the world.

But we will honestly tell you that we consider sustainability in every decision we make, and try to be as sustainable as is reasonably possible for our small business.

What this looks like—

  • Composting. We subscribe to local business Compost Crusader for disposing of flower trimmings.
  • Prioritizing microweddings. A smaller wedding means a smaller footprint. It was important to us to find ways to offer low minimums for couples who are holding smaller celebrations, because downsizing is one of the most sustainable things you can do!
  • Buying local when possible. We can't buy 100% local all the time due to weather, strict color palettes, etc. But we always shop local farmers first before filling in with imports. We also offer a discount to couples who let us prioritize local sourcing vs. specific color palettes, so we can buy EVERYTHING our local farmers are selling your wedding week <3
  • Thrifting. From our eclectic bud vase collections to vases for bouquet deliveries, we thrift as much as possible, keeping these items out of landfills.
  • Being a "low foam" florist. We do not claim to be no foam, because there are some situations where we truly feel foam yields the best result. But we carefully consider all of our other options before deciding to bring in foam. And we are carefully keeping a close eye on new alternatives coming to market soon, hoping they will 100% replace foam for us.

Meet Your Floral Designer

Hey, I'm Nikki! 👋🏻 (she/her)

I’m the Owner & Creative Director of Ritual Floral. I love pretty things and try not to take life too seriously—both traits I hope are apparent through my flowers! I hope they bring you all the good feels like fun, play, beauty, whimsy, and magic ✨

My background is in art & design. I earned my Bacherlor's of Fine Art from Hartford Art School in 2012, majoring in Visual Communication Design. I spent 10 years working in tech as a product designer & developer.

After years of lighting up pixels on screens, I felt the urge to create something tangible. Always a lover of flowers, I decided to jump into floral design in 2022 and haven't looked back.

On a wedding week, find me in my basement studio in a flow state with your flowers and a good audiobook.

When I’m not playing with flowers, find me at Warped MKE where I teach aerial silks (you should take a class!), or at home hanging with my husband, dogs, kitties, and a good video game.

My big three are Cancer sun, Capricorn moon, and Libra rising 🙃
