Amanda is the most amazing florist. I was completely blown away by how beautiful my flowers were for my wedding. I gave her a loose idea around using proteas and colors and she absolutely hit it out of the park - everyone at the wedding was gushing about the flowers. She's absolutely delightful to work with and her creativity with the arrangements and quality of flowers - which she grows herself! - is mind blowing. Couldnt recommend her enough!! read more

Florist Amanda was supposed to be my florist for my wedding in May 2020, unfortunately we had to postpone it to 12/19/20 due to COVID. She was a preferred vendor by our venue so we trusted her. When the California Governor shut down California two weeks before our December wedding, the venue cancelled our wedding on us. Amanda stole from me by refusing to give me my money back, not even half. She provided absolutely nothing in return even though she harvests her own flowers and they did not go to waste. I truly thought she was a genuine person after speaking with her on the phone several times, but at the end of the day all she cared about was money and couldn't have cared less that my wedding was cancelled on me. I would NOT recommend her as your florist.. she is a thief read more

Amanda is THE BEST! Her flowers are some of the most gorgeous I have ever seen. Her ability to arrange and design those beautiful flowers is unparalleled. Even though all of the photos are stunning, everything was even more amazing in person. She was a joy to work with - she translated my ideas into the wedding flowers of my dreams. She was honest with me about areas she thought I could cut back on to save on costs. She was flexible, talented, humble, and so sweet/positive! Quite literally everything was PERFECT! You cannot go wrong working with Laughin Gal/Amanda and I would pick to work with her a thousand times over! (Photo credit to our incredible photographer Jake and Necia) read more

Amanda was the first florist we talked with when we started looking for a florist, and we already knew that we wouldn't need to look elsewhere. We told her upfront that we are not "aesthetics people" and essentially asked if she could do her thing based on our (very loose) wedding colors. Without an ounce of judgment, she told us not to worry. And indeed, she absolutely delivered! Everything from the bouquet to arch florals to centerpieces were absolutely stunning. She runs her own flower farm and has expertise in botany in addition to florals, which means her florals have a natural beauty. She also clearly has a lot of experience -- we had an unexpected situation where the groomswoman was supposed to have a boutonniere but her outfit was too light to hold it, and Amanda was able to create a corsage out of the boutonniere on the spot. Working with Amanda was a breeze as well, as she is responsive, flexible, and simply a great person. She also proactively suggested and implemented ways to save costs such as repurposing ceremony florals for reception decorations. I've been telling my partner I almost want to have another wedding just so that I can get florals from Amanda again! read more

Laughlin' Gal Floral has done such an amazing job preparing flower bouquets for us. My daughter and I have ordered from them on several occasions. Amanda Seely had been so accommodating and coming through for us on last minute requests and being so delightful. I would highly recommend them. Their prices are very reasonable, there is no delivery fee locally in Aromas, their flowers are beautiful and their service is incredible. Thank you Amanda for taking care of us.

Amanda was a pleasure to work with and helped create the wedding of our dreams. Her floral arrangements were masterpieces and exactly what we envisioned. Every step of the way she was friendly and patient, and we can't thank her enough for all her hard work during these busy times. My bouquet successfully dried out in my garage, and I am so happy I will be enjoying her flowers for many years to come. Don't hesitate, choose Laughin' Gal Floral!! read more

Laughin gal floral did an absolutely STUNNING job with the flowers for our wedding. We were completely unknowledgeable about what flowers we wanted for our big day. But that was no issue for Amanda- we talked through generally what we envisioned our day looking like and Amanda took the reins from there. She absolutely blew us away with the florals. We had guest ask us to take flowers home because they were so beautiful. We could not recommend laughin gal floral more- from start to finish it was pure excellence and joy! read more

So first off I'm going to start by saying that Amanda at Laughin' Gal Floral is a total sweetheart and super genuine. I just got married on 8.18.18 at Club Del Monte Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA, and I am truly happy with the outcome of every single one of my floral pieces. When my wedding planner introduced me to her I could immediately tell that she was very down to Earth. Amanda truly listens to your vision when it comes to planning the floral decor for your wedding. Throughout the planning process Amanda remembered key elements in our conversations down until the very day of my wedding. I informed her that I hated the color purple, and if I had to describe my personality with a flower, it would be a gerbera daisy. She's also very realistic and informative when it comes to your wedding design. For instance, I wanted a bouquet of succulents, and she informed me that if the entire bridal bouquet was of succulents, it would be really heavy. When it cam to my wedding day, her work & vision had exceeded my expectations. When she arrived to my venue with the bouquets, she showed me my bouquet and head garland and informed me that whatever I didn't like could be adjusted. After my ceremony when I walked into my reception with my husband, I saw the hotel California meets Great Gatsby design I envisioned and was completely blown away. Each centerpiece was different, chic, had succulents, loose flowers on the table, and unique terrariums and vases. My head garland was gorgeous and never fell apart. My bridal bouquet was extremely beautiful, and I was able to take it apart and save the succulents from my wedding bouquet which I informed her I really wanted to do. She even put the gerbera daisy in there. I wish I could fit all the words and feelings into this Yelp review to share with the world how amazing Amanda at Laughin' Gal Floral is, but it's just not possible. She is a truly amazing human being, and I can promise you that you will be super happy as a client if she is your floral artist for your special occasion. read more

If you've seen any of the bouquets by Laughin' Gal Floral, you'll know that Amanda Seely has a true GIFT. For our wedding in May, I chose her over another local florist, both highly recommended by our venue, because I was so impressed with the level of detail she used to describe every bouquet in her initial quote, which was tailored to the responses I provided in a questionnaire. I wasn't very specific about colors or which flowers to include -- just that I like colorful displays -- and what she came up with blew me away. Nearly every guest at our wedding raved about how gorgeous the flowers were and were stunned by how many different flower varieties could come together in a cohesive bouquet. If you're on a tight budget (as we were), Amanda will help you find ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. For instance, she suggested that we repurpose our ceremony flowers and bridesmaid bouquets for the reception space, and that ended up working beautifully. I also requested a smaller bridal bouquet since I have a petite frame, and we arranged for a farm pick-up instead of having the flowers delivered. She was incredibly thoughtful in the way she labeled and packed the flowers, and she provided thorough instructions to my family members who picked them up. She even included a vase with extra blooms! My only regret about doing pick-up instead of delivery is that I didn't get to meet her in person. Amanda has a true passion for what she does, and it shows in every bouquet she makes. Booking her should be a no-brainer -- she will go above and beyond your expectations! read more

DO NOT HESITATE - BOOK AMANDA NOW! I got married at Mission Ranch on 9/2/18 and I honestly will not be able to fully express what extraordinary work Amanda did for me and how grateful I am for her! Amanda was a delight to work with and was very patient with my MANY additions, changes, and questions throughout our planning process (ie - I was SUPER picky). She made time to meet with me and my Mom early in our planning process and spent over two hours with us at a coffee shop going over every detail, particular, wish-list item I had in mind. As the wedding got closer, she was wonderful about sending updated spreadsheets of everything she was going to do and had wonderful ideas and suggestions for me when I needed some guidance. Although I had a large budget for flowers, she was great at finding ways to save money by re-purposing many of the flowers (ie used the garland the lined the chairs at the ceremony as decor for the reception). I could write pages about Amanda's awesomeness, but to save my fingers here is a list of reasons why you should absolutely use Amanda: -exceedingly kind and reassuring. I was a pretty anxious bride and had A LOT of moving parts to my wedding. Amanda assured me over and over that things would work out how I wanted them and she was right. She's thoughtful and fun: on the wedding day when she delivered my (freaking stunning) bridal bouquet she coached me on how to hold my bouquet low and also brought me a little bundle of lavender to calm my nerves because she knew how anxious I was. Let me tell you, on your actual wedding day these are the things you would never anticipate that end up meaning so, so much. -my wedding day flowers were ABSOLUTELY, OVER THE TOP STUNNING. I cannot stress this enough. I had a specific "vision" for how I wanted my wedding to look and she nailed it 500%. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. She exceeded my very high expectations. -flower quality: you know your have a talented florist when your wedding guests can't stop talking about the flowers. Some of my older gentleman guests (ie men you would think might not notice flowers) even commented on how beautiful the flowers were. I'm not just referring to her arrangements and decor (which were amazing). I'm talking about the actual quality of each flower - EVERY flower was beautiful. Nothing wilted or tired looking. And ladies - between my ceremony and reception, I had A LOT of flowers. -attention to detail: again, I gave Amanda a HUGE job and she and her team just nailed every detail. Every detail - large and small - was attended to expertly. I'm very type A and particular and again, Amanda just exceeded every single want/expectation I had. Amanda is hands down a true artist with a huge heart. She is responsible for transforming my wedding day into a fairytale that I couldn't have even dreamt about. Thank you so much to her and her brilliant team!! read more

Where can you find a floral artist who is also a botanist with her own flower farm? Right. Here. Amanda's home grown beauties and effortless style will make your wedding feel like a magical wonderland bursting in blooms. Amanda is kind hearted through and through and this is reflected in her care for her clients and the beautiful results of her hard work. Amanda brought her vision to our wedding day and the results were amazing beyond description. She was communicative and had great ideas throughout the planning process. She worked within our budget and educated us on how we could maximize on each and all of our ideas. On the day of she brought a calming and positive energy to the venue. Our only regret is that we would have loved to spend more time with her. read more

Amanda was the BEST to work with!!! What originally sold us on booking her was that she's a trained botanist and grows all of her own flowers (and this was before supply chain was an issue so we really lucked out!). Throughout the whole process she was so easy to work with, answered all of my million questions, and was very transparent on pricing which was so helpful. And then the day of- my jaw literally dropped as she brought the florals in. We still hear guests talking about them a few months later! And to top it all off, she's just the best human- so kind and bubbly and a joy to be around. If she's available, don't hesitate and definitely book her!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Okay I didnt have to say much to Amanda for her to totally just get my vision, which even I dont understand myself sometimes lol. We must be flower soulmates, because when I saw the flower bouquets, I pretty much died. Of happiness. I said I want wild, colorful, whimsical, small blooms but loosey goosey, not uptight, and just super fun. She took these words and JUST WENT BEYOND. Speechless and I have to say, besides having our wedding in the most beautiful green venue ever (Holly Farm), the flowers were one of my most favorite details EVER. HOLY MOLY. I DIE x1000000. read more

Seriously, I don't even know where to start. Hands down Amanda was my favorite vender for my wedding. From beginning this journey with her, planning and getting my ideas heard, all the emails and meetings, to the actual wedding.... what a dream. Amanda is the most talented florist and the fact that you are so down to earth and real! I love your personality, all of our other venders loved working with you, you had such a calm cool demeanor that just always made me feel relaxed, like hanging out with a best friend. Let's get to the flowers! Oh my gosh I could have died! GORGEOUS!! You saw my vision and made it even better than I could have expected! Folks, she grows her own flowers at her house locally. Flowers are grown and hand cut just for you. What else could anyone ask for. The love and detail that goes into everything is breathtaking! I already have friends that want to book with you for their big day. Again Amanda, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Much love from Alaska Sadye and Bryant read more

We met Amanda's cool assistant at the Monterey wedding fair in early 2010. I'm one of those obnoxious people who makes decisions based on gut reactions, so I can't ever really explain what it was about Laughin' Gal Floral that convinced me they were perfect for us; they just were. Anyway, my gut didn't disappoint. Amanda is brilliant, fun, creative, laid back, flexible and exactly what we needed in a florist. She knew anything and everything about flowers and together we created bouquets that knocked my socks off. We did a rainbow themed wedding and the bouquets fit in PERFECTLY. Overall, if you're planning a wedding and want to work with someone wonderful who produces beautiful work and won't rob you, do yourself a favor and call Amanda. She really does kick ass, and I don't say that about just anyone. read more

I absolutely adore Amanda! When I first requested a proposal from her, she sent the most detailed spreadsheet with everything I could have ever wanted. She is SO good about responding in a timely manner and really helped make my vision real. She kept up with all of my notes and changes and sent me updated drafts along the way. She greeted me in my Bridal Suite the day of the wedding to give me my flowers and was just the sweetest human. Her work is beautiful and her personality matches. All of the guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers were for the ceremony and reception. She really took what I wanted and did more than I could have dreamed of. Not sure what else to say other than she is amazing and everyone should book her for their wedding or other events. Thank you thank you to Amanda and her fantastic team! read more

Amanda is the best! We just had our wedding on September 8th and were blown away by Amanda's service and arrangements. Amanda provided us with THE MOST detailed quote very early on and seemed to see our vision exactly! We aren't from the area so we had to find a time to meet with Amanda a few months before the wedding. She was so kind and met us at our venue on a Saturday after already working a wedding that day (and our venue isn't super close to her location)! She also arrived very prepared with all of our notes and a personal flower arrangement in our colors! After going through our notes in detail I felt SO comfortable with Amanda. I knew that I didn't need to micro-manage anything leading up to the big day! And I was right, Amanda came through even more so than we could have ever hoped for! Our arrangements were beyond beautiful and exactly what we envisioned. She is so good at what she does and is very passionate. It wasn't like some florist stopping by to drop off arrangements on the wedding day, she makes it personal and felt like family! Thank you so much Amanda, we really, really loved every part of the big day! read more

I am not a person who is overly passionate about my flowers, but I've got to say that I LOVED the arrangements that Amanda put together for my wedding. And I must not have been the only one, because I received compliments from almost all of our guests on the really unique floral arrangements she created for us. Amanda was a genuine pleasure to work with, and she made things very easy on me prior to the wedding by sending several detailed (but not overwhelming) emails with suggestions, estimates, photos and so forth so that we could work out a general idea of what I wanted at my event. I had almost no vision regarding flowers prior to communicating with Amanda, but she helped guide me through the decision-making process quickly, and she was not pushy at all. We wound up with exactly what I would have wanted if I'd known what I was looking for from the get-go. Vibrant, unique and really fresh springtime flowers - definitely not your typical white and pink wedding roses. Plus, importantly, she was extremely respectful of my budget and suggested several ways that I could shave extra money off to come in well under budget. If you're planning a wedding or similar event, I would HIGHLY recommend Laughing Gal Floral as a wonderful local (I believe Amanda grows most if not all of the flowers that she uses!) source for your floral needs. read more

Amanda's flowers are stunning! We do not know too much about flowers, and gave her a somewhat vague description of what we liked/wanted. When the flowers arrived, we were all truly astonished. They were beautiful beyond my expectations! Even the guys thought their boutonnieres were awesome. Amanda was great to work with, she had a fantastic vision and gave us options within our budget. She is a total flower nerd, in the best way possible! I would highly recommend Laughin' Gal to anyone looking for flowers for a special event! read more

I used Laughin' Gal Floral for my outdoor wedding in May 2016 and I was so happy that I did! Amanda was very professional and I loved her attention to detail. I really appreciated that she provided me with an itemized estimate including details about in-season flowers, estimated size, and the general vibe for the bouquets/boutonnieres/ceremony pieces. She also stayed within budget! I absolutely loved my bouquet but I think my favorite piece was the arch she created for our ceremony site. She went above and beyond with the floral arch and it really added a lot of joy to the wedding. Amanda is incredibly sweet and she was a joy to work with. I highly recommend using Laughin' Gal Floral for your wedding! read more

Amanda Seely was a pleasure to meet at a friend's recent wedding. She did a remarkable job on the table centerpieces, bouquets, and decor for the wedding venue. She really seemed to get the vision of the bride and groom and everything turned out breathtaking. The sunflowers brightened up the entire day. Amanda was so flexible as well. Arriving at Memory Gardens, she had expected a gazebo (as told to her) but artistically framed the trellis with the flowers. It looked as if they were designed specifically for it. A fabulous experience! read more

Amanda was the florist for our wedding at the end of April this year, and boy does she have a fabulous eye for floral arrangements!! She did the bridal and bridesmaid's bouquets, and the flowers for the altar arch. On the day of my fiance and I provided some fabric and a couple of pinterest photos of what we were thinking and she took it from there and made such a beautiful arrangement. She was a pleasure to work with, and if you like wildflower-style arrangements, consider her. She farms most of her own flowers, so you definitely will get something local. read more

I met Amanda at the Santa Cruz Wedding fair. We almost didn't go after not being able to find parking, but I am so glad we went. I was looking for someone who could use a lot of different herbs in my wedding flowers because I really wanted editable flowers and arrangements. Who best to go to then someone with a Farm? Amanda completely blew me away with her knowledge and ideas. When the consultation was over we were confident that she would make something perfect. On my wedding day I could not wait to see what she brought. All the flowers were so much more amazing then I could have imagined. When I had received flowers for my wrist in High School they were always way too big, and would get in my way. By the end of the night the flowers would be smashed and 1/2 of them would be on the table as I tried to get it down to a manageable size. This was not the case with Laughin' Gal Floral. The Mothers and Grandmothers had flowers for their wrist which could also be pinned to their dresses if they wanted to. They were really beautiful and didn't get in the way at all. I had spoken with Amanda about some of the different flowers they liked so each one was really personalized. The flowers for the boys had to be editable because the best man had sworn to eat his boutonnière! I loved them and for my Groom she warped copper around the stem which he loved. My Bridesmaids and I had beautiful flowers for our hair as well as our bouquets. Amanda provided vases for us to place them in at the reception which were decorated to match. I was worried about having flowers they were so large my hands would get tired and that was not the case. The flowers were just the right size for me and my dress. My Bridesmaids flew in so a few local guests were more then happy to take their flowers home. The ribbon she used matched out dresses so well I was amazed, especially because I didn't give her color swatches. For our hair Amanda provided an assortment of flowers and herbs, matching out bouquets, that had long clean stems. We had a blast putting them in and designing my own crown of flowers. Since the flowers had to be put in after we got our hair done this was really the best option. If the flowers had been wired together it would have been a lot harder to get them in right, and they may have been too long or too short or too tall for the final hair style. At the reception we had 4 tables that were 26 ft long. We had 12 pots of assorted kitchen herbs and bunches of herbs and flowers on either side. The sign in table had a single large pot of herbs. The guests loved being able to take them home and I have been hearing about recipes ever since. Those with porches and backyards took the pots, while others took the bunches. My favorite new recipe is Wedding Bouquet Chicken, a once-in-a-lifetime dish I owe to Amanda and Laughin' Gal Floral. Amanda knows what she is doing and has so much creativity. I was really lucky to have found her. read more

I was so lucky to find Laughin' Gal Floral to do the flowers at our wedding, which was on May 18, 2013. Amanda was by far the sweetest personality we met with, and her floral arrangements were original, beautiful, and made our wedding ceremony and reception just over-the-top gorgeous. We got so many compliments during our event on the flowers and when we announced that the guests could take the table flowers home, there was actually a rush by folks to take the centerpieces and other arrangements around the reception. I am still getting texts of the flowers people took with comments about how beautiful they are still...8 days later. My bouquet was exactly what I had wanted and was soooooo beautiful. I have it still in a vase at home and it is still looking so pretty. Amanda grows the flowers herself on their land, and any flowers she ends up collecting after an event go to mulch the next round of blooms which I thought was just awesome. I couldn't have asked for a sweeter person to work with, and sooo patient with all my questions. I am sooo glad we found her and that she did our wedding. She truly made it special. Thanks Amanda!!! read more

Amanda is the best! I was convinced that I could take on doing my own wedding flowers for our April 23 wedding at the Holly Farm (Carmel Valley) to save us a bit of money, but began to waver slightly in my conviction when I started realizing how much work it was going to be. So Erin from the Holly Farm recommended that we chat to Amanda with Laughin Gal floral. We met Amanda for coffee, and I instantly knew that she could create exactly what we wanted, for the price we wanted, and that she was going to make my life immensely easier as it got closer to the wedding. We initially chatted to her about the wedding party flowers, and then we expanded to the table decorations also. Both my hubby and I are pretty laid back about the wedding details, so we just told Amanda what we liked (romantic, english countryside, bright colors), what we wanted for centerpieces - a collection of vases / tea pots and flowers - and just let her work her magic. I had zero stress and complete confidence in her! On the wedding day, Amanda brought us the most beautiful flowers. My bouquet showed off my dress perfectly, she matched family flowers but everyone's was unique, and our centerpieces were so simple and beautiful - she had collected a bunch of different vases and filled them with gorgeous colorful and fun flowers. It was exactly what we wanted, like she had reached into my brain and come up with what I wanted but better. And I love that she grows her own flowers! Amanda even went a step further and saved my wedding photos - I had lost my tiny nose stud the night before and I was freaking out when she arrived because the foundation made my missing nose stud look like a crater. Amanda gave me hers (sterilized of course by the make up lady) and saved me from having funny wedding photos. Above & beyond the call of duty! read more

This vendor is amazing! She was great during our phone call and really understood what I was looking for in flowers. You can tell she has a passion for what she does, and she is damn good at it! My bouquets came out SO beautiful. She was very flexible in using blue bottles I had instead of vases for the tables, and adding my beloved pet's feathers to the bouquet for extra texture, and adding them to the boutonnieres. The groom even exclaimed "These boutonnieres look just like the photos we sent, they are exactly what I wanted." She is a small business owner, which takes a lot of time and effort. Replies might not be immediate, but she really pays attention to details. When I got the first details of what she was thinking for the flowers I was blown away by all the thought and care she put into it. I was confident from the beginning that she would be able to do a great job, because of that trust I didn't mind if I didn't hear back within seconds of my e-mails. At the end of the day the flowers were breathtaking. I highly suggest Laughin' Gal Floral and wish I could add some photos to this review, because if you could see them you would book her right away! read more

Laughin' Gal Floral and more specifically Amanda made my wedding day 9/17/2011 just perfect! Someone gave my mother-in-law Amanda's card and when my mother-in-law gave me the card I was just about to commit to some other florist that was going to charge me an arm and a leg for floral arrangements that were really like a typical wedding. I decided to email Amanda and just meet her for a consultation. When we met I knew instantly that she was perfect for my wedding. She had wonderful ideas and the fact that she locally grows all her flowers just made the choice that much easier. She breathed life into my ideas for my flowers at my wedding. She also had a very reasonable price for her services and she even gave me ideas throughout the planning to save money. She had different kinds of flowers to add to my floral arrangements that made my wedding unique and different. On the day of my wedding Amanda came into the beach front condo I was getting married at with my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets and I was on the verge of tears when I saw them. I am NOT a crier and it totally took me by surprise that I was so emotional about how beautiful these arrangements were. The centerpieces, arch piece, flowers on the cake, boutonnieres, mother's flowers, and all the rest were beyond perfect and unique to my celebration. Now, I've been married for a year and my husband surprised me on our one year anniversary with a replica of my bridal bouquet that he ordered from Amanda. It looked just like my bouquet and just a very wonderful sweet and thoughtful present from my husband. The fact that Amanda in the middle of wedding season and being pregnant took the time to go back and remember my bouquet and do this small order for my husband was very sweet. A lot of wedding florists have minimums and for her to just make one bouquet for my husband's sweet gift was very nice of her and a true reflection of her customer service. I would recommend Laughin' Gal Floral and Amanda to anyone I know! read more

It's been awhile since I got married (April 2016) but I have been super busy since then! Anyways the awesome service and wonderful work that Amanda provided is still so fresh in my mind. The bouquets, garlands, boutonnieres, and other floral arrangements were gorgeous and above and beyond what I had imagined. I gave Amanda some ideas of what I wanted but all in all I told her I trusted her judgement and to make something that she thought would work for the setting. Giving her artistic creativity was one of the best decisions I made throughout my wedding planning process. Its also a huge bonus that she is a delight to work with and she even threw in some extra flower petals at my ceremony cite. She is amazing use her! read more

No one knows flowers better than Amanda. Amanda is a true artist and knows exactly how to execute her clients' visions. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, but after my first call with her, I knew I was in good hands. She took some of my photos and our conversation and came up with amazing floral arrangements. The bridal party's bouquets were gorgeous as were the reception table flowers. She created a beautiful flower canopy and provided some loose florals for the wedding cake. Amanda was super easy to work with and such a positive addition to wedding planning. Highly recommend! read more

She did, bouquets, boutineers, flower crowns, insanely gorgeous table vines, our chuppah and a whole tree stump/photo/candle setup that was out of a dream. Not only is Amanda super easy going and kind which makes it easy to work with her, she also has this ability to listen to her clients vision and then deliver something that not only meets that but exceeds those expectations.

The bouquets that Amanda made for my wedding were perfect! My husband and I don't know much about flowers at all, so we pretty much let her run with it. She was wonderful to work with and understood our vision. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for flowers! read more

Amanda did an incredible job for our wedding this May. We only met with her once, I described the look I was going for (soft florals for a spring wedding) and showed her some pictures and she said she knew exactly what I wanted. Amanda grows all of her own stuff, including whatever you want for your wedding, and by being both the botanist and the florist, you cut out the middle man and can save a bundle. We let Amanda run with the vision we had described to her with minimal input on our part, and she came through in spades, making one less thing we had to worry about during all of the wedding planning. Many people commented on how beautiful my bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets were. Amanda is also incredibly sweet and a joy to work with. Thanks again Amanda for a great job! read more
