We live in a different state but recently had our wedding in our hometown, and it was important for us that we shop local and hire area vendors. We had a very quick engagement period, with roughly 12 weeks to pull off a party for 200. When we contacted Dee, she said: No problem.
We met with Dee one month out on a Saturday afternoon, and told us a bit about ourselves and the look and feel we were seeking. We were going for a classy, elegant look, probably with ivory roses prominently displayed. We told her we wanted it to be wintery, but not Christmasy. But beyond that, we didn't really know what we wanted. We needed 25 centerpieces for tables -- not tiny, not huge. We needed a basic bridal bouquet, two attendant bouquets, and a handful of boutonnieres and corsages. Within a half hour, Dee asked us several questions and pulled together a vision of full ivory roses, soft pine, silvery Dusty Miller and mini pinecones. It sounded perfect. Then she gave us the cost -- and we were blown away. It was half of what we had anticipated. The value for the money was absolutely incredible!
So was the service. That was the last contact we had with Dee. She worked with the event coordinator at our venue to ensure timely delivery on our wedding day. When we walked into the venue the morning of our wedding, we say our vision - and Dee's - brought to life. Across the board, our guests complimented the classy, simple, clean approach. The tables had the centerpieces -- clear glass globe vases with cut ivory roses, silver Dusty Miller, flat pine and pine cones -- sitting on square mirrors and surrounded by six votive holders with long-lasting votives. The wedding party flowers also were perfect.
Be aware that this is a family-owned business that isn't as technically savvy as some other big florists in the area. No flashy website, and email communication can sometimes be spotty. But DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU! This was, hands down, the best experience I've ever had with a florist!
We can't thank Dee enough! read more
