Esse For Weddings
Your florist and your planner — the same studio.
Esse is a Black and queer-owned wedding studio in Atlanta. We design the flowers, we plan the day, and we do both under one roof — so nothing gets lost between two separate vendors.
THE ESSE DIFFERENCE
The variable no other florist or planner in can offer you.
When your planner and your florist are the same studio, there's no briefing gap between the two. Your design direction doesn't get lost in translation. Setup on the day is run by one team who already knows the timeline, the venue, and exactly where every arrangement needs to be.
It's not just convenient — it means fewer surprises on the day, and a more cohesive result. Booking florals and planning together with Esse isn't an upsell. It's simply a smarter way to build your wedding.
And everything we do is priced openly. You'll never fill out a form to find out if we're in your range. The numbers are right here.
Esse Florals
The flowers, designed around you.
Bridal bouquets, ceremony florals, reception tablescapes, arches, and statement installations — designed around your palette and your vision, never a template. From a single bouquet to a full floral production.
From $350

Esse Events
The day, held together.
Full planning, partial planning, or day-of coordination. We source and manage your vendors, build the timeline, design the floor plan, and run the day — so you can actually be present for it.
From $3,000
WHAT TO EXPECT
What working with Esse feels like.
Honesty from the first message. We publish our pricing because you deserve to know if we're a fit before either of us invests time.
Designed for you, never a template. No two Esse weddings look the same. We start with who you are and build toward what the day should feel like.
One team, one timeline. Florals and planning under one roof means fewer handoffs, fewer surprises, and one person who knows every detail.
A studio that sees you. Black and queer-owned, and explicitly inclusive of every couple. You'll be celebrated fully, exactly as you are.
Here’s What Our Couples have Said!
“Simply the BEST!
Sidney was a godsend! I was very particular and at times all over with my vision. Sidney was able to interpret my vison to vendors, find exclusive things, build beautiful details out for us. She was open in her communication style which made me feel at ease and overall a very positive/calming person during a very stressful time.
We also had Sidney as our floral designer and she out did herself- truly turned the venue to a dream space!!
HIRE HER!”
“Esse Event Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, protective, and highly organized. The team at Esse was thoughtful, timely, and incredibly collaborative throughout the entire planning process. They expertly navigated our multicultural wedding with diverse vendors and working styles, ensuring that every detail was accounted for. Esse and her team kept us on track and adapted seamlessly to any changes that came up, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We are so grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend Esse Event Planning to any couple planning their wedding”
“Hiring Sidney with Esse Event Planning was the best decision we made for our wedding. We hired her for her planning and floral services.
She ensured we met on a frequent basis to make sure we covered every aspect of the day, and she came with great ideas for bringing our vision together. She communicated directly with vendors which lifted a lot of that responsibility off our shoulders and ensured everyone had the details needed for day of. And on the wedding day, my husband and I didn’t have to lift a finger. Everything ran smoothly without a hitch. We even received complements from our guests about how smoothly everything was running!
Working with Sidney for floral design was such a fun experience. She came with a mood board after our first conversation and was very transparent with what our budget could get us, which ended up being so much more than we expected! The florals were a dream, and I can’t count the number of complements I received, especially on the bouquet!
If you’re in the Atlanta area, I 100% recommend Esse!”
