GingerSnap Florals is a boutique floral studio owned and operated by Melanie Ruth, specializing in weddings and events.

With a background in theatre and set dressing, Melanie has a flair for the dramatic with texture-driven floral designs. Each event should show the beautiful and unique personalities of each couple, and just like a play tells a story, Melanie wants her floral design to be the perfect addition to each couple’s romantic narrative.
