I only wish I could give Adrianne 10 out of 5 stars!! Adrianne did the flowers for my wedding this past weekend and I was absolutely blown away by how amazing they turned out. I would recommend her to anyone for the following reasons:
- I had a pretty clear vision of the feel and colors that I wanted for the wedding, but I of course had no clue how this would be accomplished. I provided Adrianne with some of my favorite flowers as well as the wedding colors. We then went through her portfolio and I pointed out what I liked. What she came up with for my wedding a) matched my colors perfectly, b) included my favorite flowers and included other flowers that perfectly fit the feel I was going for (new favorite flowers!) and c) were completely unique; even though I pointed out previous designs of her's that I liked, she came up with something that felt brand new and special for my wedding.
- I had a fixed budget for my wedding flowers. Throughout our consultation, Adrianne kept the budget in mind. She explained areas where we could save money but still get a great effect as well as areas where she thought it would be important to spend a little more money. We stayed under budget, but looking at the final product, it felt like the flowers and floral design were worth much more than what we spent.
- Adrianne is obviously very passionate about creating gorgeous flower designs. Within five minutes of meeting her, I knew she would be a fun person to work with and looking back, the flowers were certainly the most enjoyable aspect of the wedding planning process (partly because of Adrianne's enthusiasm and partly because of how much I trusted her to come up with something amazing).
- She has a seemingly endless repository of creative ideas, but isn't at all stuffy about doing things her way or pushing her ideas onto you (something I experienced from another florist). There were some ideas she came up with that we weren't too interested in. She wasn't offended or pushy at all - she just kept throwing out ideas until something struck our fancy.
I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at that and a quote from the caption that one of my wedding guests put under a facebook picture of Adrianne's flowers: "So beautiful I could eat it -- now that's a great florist." read more
