Absolutely stunning florals

Working with Michelle was an absolute dream! She was very kind and patient with us as we know very little about flowers and were indecisive on what floral aesthetic we wanted. Michelle was knowledgeable, thorough, and detail oriented. She provided us with practical solutions to maximize our florals while keeping costs within our budget. Everything was stunning, including the bouquets, arbor florals, and table settings. The pictures speak for themselves. Highly, highly recommend!!

Practical and Elegant

I was looking for simple elegance for a wedding but didn't want to spend a fortune. I've arranged flowers for our church for 20 years, so I know a lot about flowers and their supply costs. After shopping around, I found Occasions by Emily and was so happy to find a talented shop at reasonable pricing! I asked that the flower arrangements for the church be designed in such a way that they could be transported to the reception floral containers (totally different look). Michelle listened to my requests attentively and created arrangements that worked perfectly in both settings!! Not only were they beautiful but it was the most practical use of flowers I've seen! Additionally, we submitted photos of the bouquets we wanted, and my daughter was thrilled with them. Exactly what we had asked for. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you!
