Yes I'm posting this in as many places as possible because I'm that happy.
Okay guys. I know the fear of calling up a "less known" florist for your wedding, but sometimes you hit the jackpot. This vendor may only have a few reviews around (at this moment in 2017) compared to some of these huge vendors you see here or somewhere else, but just do it. You'll be a person and not a job or a paycheck. You'll get original designs. You'll get an amazing value with pieces at or better than anyone else. Wanna be a number? Go somewhere else. Wanna be special on your special day? Go here.
I was disappointed with, among other things, the services and prices of several other florists, so maybe 2 and a half weeks before my out-of-town wedding, I went in search of someone else. I wanted that amazing wedding experience on that small wedding budget, last minute. Talk about unicorns.
Let me tell you Crystal with The Organic Design is IT. She blew me away immediately with her responsiveness and warm friendliness, and then went above and beyond to figure out exactly what I wanted. She even sent over a sheet with all of the flowers she had in mind with pictures and names (which, being flower-dumb, was extremely helpful). She was happy to offer any advice and ideas, she is capable of a variety of styles, and is very flexible. I had family bidding on who took home the centerpieces!
Being October, I was a little scared that it may come off Halloween-y, but she showed up with bouquets, centerpieces nestled in pumpkins, and fresh flower hair combs that didn't even come close to Halloween and looked every bit of the fall I wanted. The price is way more than reasonable, she's a joy to work with, very responsive with correspondence, AND she knows an awesome somewhat-unknown baker that can make a gorgeous cake without costing half the uptown rent at Persimmon Creek Cakes (which was more than helpful, because I was looking for a new baker, too, but that's a different review). I can't wait til this one hits the featured pages and I can say "I TOLD YOU GUYS SO!" read more
