Why SAYLES

Respected locally and internationally, Sayles has over 30 years of experience in all facets of the event industry. From intimate seaside weddings, to destination Costa Rican extravaganzas, to New York Society Galas, Sayles does it all.

Known for her excellent taste and discerning eye, Sayles is a graduate of Brown University, where she studied Horticulture and the Creative Arts. She then went on to receive a master’s degree in Plant Sciences from the University of Rhode Island, where her understanding of local sourcing and sustainability grew. This unique combination of artist and trained horticulturalist is unique, and it is what makes Sayles’ designs so impressive (and so relevant) to those of you looking to make a big splash with the least amount of environmental impact.

Sayles Livingston Design began as a garden and cut flower business but has grown into a leading, and much lauded, event and floral design business. Sayles’ distinctive creations have been featured in over 50 national magazines and films, and she has won numerous awards, over many years, for her enchanting displays.

Praise from our clients

“Sayles, you took every detail of our wedding décor to heart! With the flowers, fabric, and lighting, you and your team created the aesthetic that we had always dreamed about for our wedding.! Thank you so much for interpreting our needs and wishes so carefully and then exceeding our expectations!!! You worked within our budget and still gave us absolutely unbelievable décor!!! I can’t thank you enough!! Best, Lexi”
"Mike and I just wanted to thank you for the unbelievably gorgeous florals, decor, and service provided to us on Saturday. I knew when we saw the amazing rehearsal dinner floral arrangments that we were going to be in for something very special the next day. But everything just blew us away. It was, quite simply, beyond stunning. We had a truly perfect day, and we've been fortunate enough to be receiving many kind words about the wedding in the days since. But one of the best we heard was actually that night when one of the Morin's team (I wish I recalled who!) pulled me aside and said that in all her years of working at Marble House, she had never seen it look more beautiful. We know that was due in very large part to you and the magic you created. People were blown away...us included! So thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our wedding day a truly amazing and unforgettable event. With all our best and thanks, Kathleen and Mike"

“Sayles!!!! I'm sure Amy will be calling you, but she just LOVED your designs!!! I wish you could have seen her face, but she just started crying as soon as she walked into that tent. She has said it was more than she could have ever imagined and she was beyond happy! I know I heard endless compliments throughout the evening from so many guests and vendors, but Amy confirmed that she heard the same and at the brunch the next day, guests were talking non stop about them! I actually had a guest get teary eyed because they were going home on a plane and couldn't take the floral arrangements we offered them. I hope you had a wonderful rest of your weekend!! Thank you for everything!! Diana”
