During our initial meeting about six months before the wedding I shared a Pinterest board with several examples of the colors and styles of flowers we liked. We wanted bright oranges, corals, and magentas with greens, featuring my favorite flowers, dahlias, and my mother's favorite, Gerbera daisies. To celebrate our Jewish and Indian cultures, we also asked Melanie to create a hybrid chuppah/mandap (canopy) with flowers across the top and hanging flower garlands, draped with colorful silk sarees. Melanie was always friendly in our email communications and accommodated the changes we requested to our original estimate. While she didn't always reply promptly, I could tell that she was inspired and excited by our color palette (especially after doing white florals for so many weddings). And she delivered! Melanie created the most gorgeous, lush bouquets for me and my bridesmaids; wrapped flowers for our hair; a beautiful basket for our flower girl; exuberant flower box centerpieces; and numerous other lovely touches like trailing vines and hanging garlands. She generously let us take a few centerpieces boxes and bud vases home with us as keepsakes. Her prices were reasonable especially considering that she brought extra florals to improvise on the day of the wedding and stayed after the ceremony to repurpose the florals for the dinner and dancing reception. Our pictures are so colorful and will bring us joy for years to come. Thank you Melanie for bringing our wedding dreams to life!

Melanie is an artist with her floral arrangements. I was a bride on a budget, but I also have fancy…read moretaste, so finding Melanie's pocketbook-friendly flowers was a god-send! I was able to buy all the floral arrangements I wanted/needed at a fraction of the cost of other vendors. For those looking for a more personalized experience, Melanie does also do full wedding florals, but for me the a la carte options of the PBF was a perfect match. Even though we only spoke twice on the phone, she captured the exact look and feel I was going for with my flowers. I loved the minimalism of the drop vases and then supplemented that with the Aisle to Table flowers. I loved that these were designed for the transition from ceremony to reception without having to purchase separate flowers for each part of the wedding. They truly turned out amazing and were exactly what I wanted!

I really enjoyed working with Trish for my wedding! I had a basic vision for the venue, which was…read moreelevated with Trish's eye for detail and versatility. We did greenery on tables, where she had good suggestions on which types of plants would work well, and scattered arrangements varying in sizes. The arrangements were assorted white flowers with greenery, and were breathtaking. They added so much warmth and beauty throughout the room, specifically highlighting areas around the ceremony arch and bride/groom table. The florals were the perfect statement for my winter wedding :)

I've admired Kelly's work for years, so hiring Botanique for our wedding florals was a dream come…read moretrue. Kelly's designs are truly one-of-a-kind; artful, natural, and full of life. I love that she sources flowers straight from her Seattle garden, which made everything feel both personal and seasonal. From our first conversation through the wedding day, Kelly was incredibly receptive, organized, and professional. She took the time to understand our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and executed every detail flawlessly. If you want florals that are distinctive, locally sourced, and created with genuine artistry, I cannot recommend Kelly and Botanique highly enough.

Wedding date: July 31, 2018 Wedding venue: Thornewood Castle…read more It is such a delight to work with Kelly. I hired her as my florist for my wedding last year. It was absolutely the best decision I made for my wedding! I DIY-ed my wedding to save some cost on expensive wedding planners. Kelly was referred to me by my caterer and she was the first on their list. Back then we were so busy with our house and I only started to contact florists at the beginning of June (remember my wedding day is July 31, so crazy to contact florists this late). I wrote to several florists and Kelly was the first one responded. We talked on phone about my visions for my wedding, my preferences, my budget and her precious experience at my wedding venue. She told me she would help me in anyway she can since I didn't have a planner and days were so close to my wedding. After the phone call, I knew she was the right person for me immediately. We had an in-person meeting the next week. I must say I had no idea of different styles of bouquet and yes, at that point, less than 7 weeks to my wedding, I didn't even set my mind on color palette yet. Kelly came prepared and she was so patient. We looked at some pictures so she could understand my preferences first then she gave me suggestions. Boy, those suggestions were so to the point and they were exactly what I had in my deep mind but couldn't describe. She helped me to form my vision in details and put everything together. After the meeting, I felt like I could see what my wedding would be. Before our final walk to the venue, Kelly helped me on picking out furniture. I send her lots of pictures of furniture I liked and asked her opinions. Not only did she send me different inspiration pictures for me to get some ideas of what would these pieces of furniture would look like with floral design, but also she gave me suggestions to cut some furniture which looked beautiful but wouldn't go well with my overall flow. She had so much experience and great ideas and I was so grateful that I can decide which furniture to choose quickly and painlessly. On our final walk through, Kelly helped me on deciding the overall floor plan. She was able to picture me the arch design, the welcome table design and dinner head table design. She was so prepared. I was able to see my whole wedding through her description. My wedding ceremony and dinner were outside but dancing place was inside the castle. Kelly kept that in mind and offered me to reuse some flowers outside in decorating dancing room to cut cost. She took notes of what I said in the final walk through and revised her design accordingly. Before the wedding, we had a phone call to finalize everything. I had a hard time on deciding on the aisle for my ceremony. I looked for so many pics but I just didn't love them enough and it was so hard for me to vividly describe my vision to her in my second language over the phone. At some point I just said I would settle on her old design (Kelly had worked at Thornewood Castle several times and she showed me her past work). But Kelly didn't settle and she made every effort to make sure that I didn't settle for my wedding. She kept sending me pictures and described me what she would do for my aisle. Finally we found the perfect aisle design for my wedding. On my wedding day, Kelly arrived earlier as usual and she waited at the gate. Thornewood Castle is known for its beauty and tons of rules. One rule specific is that if any of my vendors enters the property earlier than agreed time, I will be charged for extra hour. Everything she did was so beautiful. She was able to create everything I had in mind and she did even better. She gave me my perfect wedding. I couldn't say enough good things about Kelly. She is professional. She is creative. She is experienced. She cares about her clients. She goes above and beyond. She is so delightful to work with. And she can deal with incident on your wedding (my cake caterer didn't put sugar flowers on my wedding cake, which clearly she supposed to do according to our agreement; Kelly was able to use some eucalyptus to decorate my cake a little to give it an organic look; she took care of it before I even knew there was something wrong with my cake and went all panic and angry). Btw, she kept me on my floral budget! Kelly sent me cards and wrote emails to me after my wedding. She keeps in touch ever since. She doesn't treat her clients just as clients. She dives in to truly understand what you want and makes sure your wedding reflects you. Do work with Kelly. You sure will get way more than a professional and creative florist for your wedding.

Working with TJ was wonderful. We did most, actually ALL, of our communication via email as I lived out of state. She was so patient with me as I tried to navigate through Pinterest boards and google photos to try to find what I liked and didn't like and made sure that she understood my vision. She provided lots of good advice when I was unsure and was so sweet and understanding throughout the whole process. On the day of I was blown away by the way her floral arrangements transformed everything into a perfect combo of tropical and pacific northwest (I know, not your typical theme). I absolutely LOVED my bridesmaids and bridal bouquets and the greenery on the tables at our reception just elevated the already beautiful venue to another level. She even came back to the venue at the end of the night to clean up and help us gather the arrangements we wanted to keep. She knew our venue well (Kiana Lodge), and we are so grateful to her for helping make my vision a reality. Thank you so much TJ! (Photos taken by Luma Weddings)
