    An absolute pleasure to work with

    We used designing flowers for our small Monday wedding. At first we order a bridal and junior bridesmaid boquete and two corsages. On our consultation she helped us pick out what flowers would fit our vision and we added two flower crowns for our girls. A week before the wedding we needed to add flowers for the parents of the bride and groom and designing flowers took care of the extra last minute order with no problem. The flowers were beautiful and the service was amazing. The best floral service I have ever worked with!

    Beautiful Flowers, Great Service

    Shelly did a beautiful job with our flowers. We had a meeting early on to discuss preferences. I wasn't sure going in what I wanted other than maybe 5 pictures I found online that I had for general inspiration. She worked with me to choose colors and styles that fit our theme. I don't know much about specific flower types, but I trusted her to pick them and WOW did they turn out incredible! All the arrangements, from my bouquet down to the table accents, were perfectly done. The flowers were lively, bright, and great quality. Price point was about what you'll get on average for the area, but it's so nice to actually interact with the person doing the purchasing, choices, and arranging for you and support a local business!

    Great design, beautiful taste, stick to budget

    We met only once, they understood my style right away, and give me suggestions about where should I save or not money in flowers, as I had a small budget. Another important thing was that as I married on a vineyard I wanted to use burgundy and they loved the idea too and make it happen in Summer! They even got me burgundy peonies for my bouquet. Amazing!

    Stunning floral arrangements

    Designing Flowers came as recommendation from my venue and I am so thankful I listened. I had a very small budget and with 200 guests (which equals a TON of tables) I thought the only thing I could get was baby's breath and some cheap greenery. BOY WAS I WRONG! Cathy and Shelly were such a pleasure to work with. They did an amazing job giving me all of the flowers that I never thought I could have and provided arrangements that looked like they cost top dollar!!! You will not be disappointed if you chose them as your wedding day florist!

    Shelly was amazing to work with! I planned everything from out of state (never saw the flowers before) and never felt worried with how my flowers would turn out! She asked for lots of detailed information about my vision and she created arrangements more beautiful than I could imagine and exactly what I asked for. Communication was very easy! Highly recommend!

    Designing Flowers put together stunning flowers for our wedding day! I still can’t get over how gorgeous the centerpieces and bouquets were! Shelly was so friendly and easy to work with. We talked on the phone, and then when I met with her in the shop I was delighted to learn she had put together a Pinterest board with her ideas for my big day! She really listened to my thoughts. I’m so happy with how everything turned out. I can’t recommend Designing Flowers enough. Thank you Shelly!

    We could not have picked a better florist for our wedding. Shelly brought our wedding vision to life, creating gorgeous, leafy, bohemian floral arrangements and flower crowns for our bridal party. My bouquet and flower crown were so well-constructed that they survived a twenty-mile, top-down convertible ride from the Church to the reception venue! To top it off, Shelly went out of her way to make us feel welcome, and was laid back, flexible, and friendly throughout the planning process. We can't recommend her enough!

    Designing Flowers, specifically Shelly, did an absolutely amazing job. I came in with a very minimal idea of what I wanted, I just had photos of colors and styles that I liked, and Shelly turned it into an entire event. Shelly created a beautiful ceremony arch decoration for us with flowers and draping, ceremony isle flowers, reception centerpieces, as well as bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. Everything was so well coordinated and tied in all together that it truly made our event beautiful. She was also generous enough to place fresh flowers on our cake as a bonus gift. She was very reasonably priced and did a fantastic job, I would highly recommend!

    Thank you for your kind review Margaux, it was indeed a pleasure to get to know you and design your flowers for your special day. We wish you both all the very best always. Best, Shelly and her team at Designing Flowers LLC

    Shelly made the process of designing wedding flowers very easy. We had one appointment with her in which we brought a few pictures, explained the venue and our colors, and she did the rest. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were vibrant and well arranged. We also has her arrange arch flowers for our ceremony; people couldn't stop talking about how lovely they were. Lastly, she made some eucalyptus garlands as centerpieces for our farm tables at the reception. Everything was beautiful, she arrived when she said she would on the wedding day to deliver bouquets and setup the arch flowers, and we thought the price was very fair especially for the quality flowers we received. Thanks, Shelly!

    Charlotte, thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to design your flowers. Wishing you both all the very best together!

    Our wedding was this past Spring, and I would like to recommend Shelly for her excellence in designing beautiful and fresh flowers. Shelly had my trust from the first meeting we had. Flower decorations/ideas is not something I am good at.
    Shelly made it painless for me. She handled everything - the design, type of flowers, colors, etc. The only thing we provided to her was our wedding color theme, bridal gown/bridesmaid dress pictures. Shelly did the rest. John and I along with our parents/bridal party loved our gorgeous corsages, boutonnieres, and flowers. Shelly made everyone feel special and beautiful during our special day. The fresh flowers really complimented everyone in our bridal party. Our Arch for the ceremony was very rustic/elegant because of Shelly's flower design. Our families and friends cannot stop saying how beautiful the flowers were. They were fresh, gorgeous, colorful and bright. We are very grateful to Shelly and her team for everything!

    I would highly recommend Shelly. I will definitely go back to Shelly for any flower arrangements/needs in the future.

    Shelly - keep up your great work and your continued passion in making brides/people happy with your wit and artistry.

    Sheila was a wonderful person to work with and very responsive which made it easy to work with her. She designed beautiful bouquets and did an amazing job decorating the alter as it was just enough decoration and not overdone just as I envisioned. The colors of the flowers were stunning for the fall wedding and fit right in making the pictures look even more beautiful. She also made an extra bouquet to toss just so I could keep the one she made for me to use throughout the night which was AMAZING! We received so many compliments on how pretty the flowers were and how well they fit into the theme. I highly recommend using Designing Flowers and I am very happy I chose to work with them for our special day!

    Shelly is amazingly talented. Our altar flower arrangements looked like something out of a magazine! She was willing to work with our budget by swapping out flowers from what we had originally asked for. Most of my bridesmaid's flowers were from a different vendor, but I ordered one bouquet from Shelly, and she was able to match the picture I provided her with exactly.

    Flowers were gorgeous!

    I was so happy that I choose Shelly, the owner of Designing Flowers, as the florist for my daughter's wedding! She was so easy to work with, and the floral arrangements for the bouquets, ceremony site and centerpieces for the tables were gorgeous! Shelly made the process so easy - my daughter answered a simple questionnaire giving Shelly her thoughts on her vision, her wedding colors and our budget. Since my daughter lives out of town, we had a conference call with her to go over the questionnaire, and then met with her once in her shop to go over the final details about a month before the wedding. The floral arrangements and the bouquets were just stunning. All of the flowers were fresh and vibrant! Shelly stayed well within our budget, and the flowers were all in the style and color palette that my daughter wanted. Shelly also suggested a relatively inexpensive way to enhance the ceremony site with a simple, but effective draping treatment. We couldn't have been more pleased with how the flowers turned out. I can't recommend Shelly enough!

    A little pricey, but wonderful to work with! The flowers were even better than I imagined. We only did my bouquet, the groom's boutonniere and a piece for my hair due to a limited budget. Everything was wonderful and the team even provided us some last minute daisies to complete the day!

    Unprofessional Cancellation

    We never did get to have a service from Designing Flowers, so my review is just to reflect that our wedding florist cancelled on us months after booking.

    We booked them and paid our deposit in February, and in July we received an email (NOT a phone call) that she could no longer perform our wedding. We were completely disappointed we didn't receive a call or text - we barely received an apology... It took over a month, and many email reminders, to receive our deposit back. She did not recommend other vendors to us - we were left to scramble to find another florist (who ended up being amazing, so it all worked out in the end!).

    We understand things can happen, but Designing Flowers did not handle the situation as it should have been.

    Designing Flowers LLC's reply:

    Luke and Emma,
    We emailed you with apologies, explanations and recommendations for florists so I am not quite sure what you would like to get accomplished here by this review.
    I am happy you were able to find a florist.
    All the best,
    Shelly
