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.

  • Violet Hour knocked it out of the park!

    We were so incredibly pleased with Violet Hour's work for our wedding and we can't wait to throw another party soon if for no other reason than to be able to work with Amy again! She truly brought every aspect of our vision to life and made it better than we could have dreamed. Not to mention the fact that our wedding ended up being the day after a huge NYC snow storm, but Amy didn't miss a beat! Her work truly brough tears to our eyes and we were so grateful for her on our special day.

    Amy was an absolute joy to work with. I booked her last minute as the florist I intended to go with was not giving me any confidence that they could execute my vision. Amy in turn was kind, honest, and assured me she could make my small floral arrangements a reality. I had 2 separate occasions and she delivered on both beautifully. The moody purple and grey theme was executed so well and her artistic interpretation was just what I envisioned. Her Boutonnières had magnets to attach them and my husband was thrilled! I had a corsage for our city hall ceremony and a bouquet with individual hair pieces that she had in individual tubes so they would stay as fresh as possible as she delivered them the day before. I was so grateful Amy could accommodate us!!

    Amy went above and beyond on our wedding day to ensure that our flower arrangements were top notch. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched, taking the time to understand the vision and using her creativity (and problem solving when needed) to bring it to life!

    Violet Hour Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, Amy’s communication was helpful and attentive - she truly listened to our vision and style preferences. The quality of Amy’s work was stellar, showcasing incredible design intuition that elevated the look and feel of our special day. The beautiful greenery throughout our outdoor ceremony space and the tasteful, elegant tablescapes for our reception were showstoppers. We would highly recommend working with Amy and the Violet Hour team to any couple planning their wedding. She helped make our day truly unforgettable.
