Bloom & Bash by Ari — Florals, Cakes & Themed Celebrations

Hands arranging a bouquet of blush peonies, white garden roses and trailing greenery on a wooden work table scattered with petals

meet Ari

An artist first —
a florist, baker & party designer by love.

Ariana “Ari” Eugenio has always made things by hand. Through Artistry & Ari, her art studio, she paints and creates keepsakes; Bloom & Bash by Ari is where that same artistry turns to celebrations.

Because one person designs everything, the bouquet echoes the cake flowers, the centerpieces pick up the banner colors, and the favors carry the same little gold flourish as the invitations. It reads as one beautiful thought — because it is.

Flowers for weddings, funerals and every party in between
Custom cakes designed to match the room, not just the menu
Custom décor — banners, signage, toppers & favors, personalized

what Ari makes

Everything for the day, from one pair of hands

Book one piece or hand Ari the whole celebration. Every commission is custom — pricing follows your flowers, your guest count and your theme, quoted after a short inquiry.

Florals

Sympathy & funeral flowers

Quiet, comforting arrangements for services and the home — made with care on short timelines, in soft whites, creams and gentle color. After the service, Ari can turn flowers from the arrangement into handmade keepsake dishes, pendants and charms, so the family has something of them to take home.

Cakes

Custom cakes

Birthday, wedding and shower cakes baked and decorated to order — fresh flowers, hand piping, and themes from storybook castles to elegant garden.

how it works

Three steps to a day that looks like one idea

One

Tell Ari the date

Send the inquiry below with your date, occasion and rough guest count. Funeral flowers can move faster — say so and Ari will prioritize.

Two

She designs it

Ari sketches the palette and pieces — flowers, cake, centerpieces, décor — and quotes the whole thing together, so there are no surprises.

Three

You just celebrate

Everything arrives coordinated and set. You greet your guests in a room that already feels like the occasion.

good questions

Before you ask

How far ahead should I book?

Weddings and full themed parties are happiest with 4–8 weeks of runway — flowers get ordered and décor gets cut by hand. Cakes usually need 2–3 weeks. Sympathy flowers are the exception: tell Ari it's for a service and she'll do everything possible on a short timeline.

Can Ari match a theme or a Pinterest board?

That's her favorite kind of brief. Send the board, the invitation, or even just a color — like the medieval castle birthday and the Pokémon room transformation she's done, the whole party gets designed around the idea, down to the favor tags.

What does it cost?

Everything is custom, so there's no honest price list — a hand-tied bouquet and a full room transformation are different universes. The inquiry gets you a single quote covering everything Ari would make, before you commit to anything.

Where does Ari work?

Ari creates locally and delivers & sets up for events in the area — put your town or venue in the inquiry and she'll confirm what's possible for your date.

Is Bloom & Bash by Ari the same as Artistry & Ari?

Same artist, two loves. Artistry & Ari is her studio for paintings and handmade keepsakes — including the house portraits and murals. Bloom & Bash by Ari is her florals, cakes and celebrations. Book either and you're getting Ari's hands and Ari's eye.
