About

Dashwood is a creative floral design team specializing in arrangements that uniquely reflect each client’s style. Although located in Colorado, we love to travel and are always willing to find breathtaking solutions, even for faraway projects.

At Dashwood, we are passionate about blending. After all, weddings are just that—the blending of two people, each with their own stories and experiences, coming together in mutual love for one another. This fun, celebrated day represents the juxtaposition of many parts—the bride, the groom, family, friends, shared love, various stages of life. We like to think floral arrangements are a visual representation of these features. We bring together all types, shapes, sizes, and colors of flowers to form a cohesive, beautiful design, capturing the many aspects of your style and personalities.

With Dashwood, you can rest at ease. Yes, every meeting, email, and phone call all lead up to your big day. But that’s what our team understands better than most. We know that you want every part of your day to be perfect—from the music, to the photos, to the “I Do’s.” Dashwood ensures that not only are your flowers beautiful, but they flow seamlessly with the rest of your wedding decor and, most importantly, are unique to you.

Why "Dashwood"?

Like Jane Austen’s famous sisters Marianne and Elinor Dashwood, so too is Dashwood Floral comprised of a dynamic and devoted sister duo. The similarities between Genevieve Metzger and Jackie Batson to the Sense and Sensibility sisters is uncanny. Just as with the literary Dashwood girls, elder sister Genevieve is strong, passionate, and reliable—a true representation of the “wood” portion of the name; while Jackie is spontaneous and free-spirited—the embodiment of “dash”.

From a young age, Jackie and Genevieve learned their love of flowers from their mother Nora. As they grew up, her garden was always thriving and the ensuing floral arrangements sparked her daughters’ interest in learning about each and every bloom. Together the two sisters have grown what began as a floral hobby into a successful business, creating sophisticated works of art for a wide range of clientele. As the company flourished, Jackie and Genevieve realized they had outgrown their previous name, Posies and Poms. A rebirth was in order.

Drawing from the creativity and sophistication found in their mother’s favorite Jane Austen novel, the sisters chose the name Dashwood. Not only did it represent their two personalities, but it provided an elegance that ran to the roots of the company. With Dashwood Floral, each client receives a perfect blend of the two sisters’ creative strengths, seamlessly working together to bring life to your vision.

| Owner & Lead Designer

Genevieve is a light and will likely have you laughing within the first five minutes of meeting her. She is happiest when she is creating, as she has a background in interior design, makeup artistry, and florals. She puts her heart into each piece she creates to ensure that the client knows they were thoughtfully considered. Flowers bring her almost as much joy as chocolate and other sugary treats.

| Owner & Lead Designer 

Jackie brings her own sense of style to the team. “I love it when there is a cohesive design, but then bam! There's that little something unexpected to make the arrangement truly unique.” She brings a sharp business mind, attention to detail, and the ability to hear what each bride truly wants. Combined with a friendly and professional attitude, Jackie ensures each client's experience is one filled with confidence and ease.
