The florals at our wedding had everyone oohing and aahing from the moment they walked in. The mandap was truly something out of a dream. Walking down the aisle and seeing it for the first time is a moment I will never forget. It was absolutely breathtaking. I threw so many random details and inspiration photos her way, and somehow she took all of it and turned it into a cohesive, stunning color palette that felt effortless and intentional. One detail that stood out most were the orchids. In the lead-up to the wedding, Jessica actually texted me asking if I liked the flower, and the gorgeous pink-and-purple spotted orchids she ended up weaving throughout the design became one of my absolute favorites. That flower will forever remind me of my wedding day. But my favorite detail has to be the guest trees that held our seating place cards. They were probably the idea I was most excited about. I had this whimsical vision of a tree where guests could pick up their escort cards, shared through one inspiration photo and a lot of me rambling, and Jessica just got it. For the evening reception, she didn't just bring the idea to life, she elevated it into two breathtaking cascading trees that were accessible from every side. It was even more beautiful than anything I had imagined and truly felt like a centerpiece of the entire experience. Beyond the florals themselves, Jessica and her team were simply wonderful to work with. They were organized, responsive, and made the entire process feel easy and calm, which is no small feat during wedding planning. Walking into each event and seeing everything come together was one of the best parts of the weekend, and our guests are still talking about how stunning everything was. Jessica, you are unbelievably talented. Thank you for taking every "crazy" idea I had and turning it into something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We're so grateful for the care, creativity, and heart you and your team poured into every detail.

She sent over lots of pictures and ideas throughout the process to check in and make sure she was on the right track. She also helped us ensure that other design elements (table linens, dishes, wedding signs) would work with the flowers. The floral design was stunning.

I got married on 8.24.13 and Abby was my "Day Of" wedding coordinator. Not only was she…read moreknowledgable and efficient, she was personable and a joy to be around. PRE-WEDDING: Abby did some preliminary work for me the week of the wedding, calling vendors to double check everything and working out a timeline for the big day. That was extremely helpful because as a bride you get a million questions about what time everything will take place and who has to be where for what. It was my officiants first wedding so Abby helped him work out the kinks of the ceremony and gave great suggestions. WEDDING DAY: Abby was scheduled to arrive at my hotel suite at noon but of course things started to go wrong before that. My flowers were wrong, my photographer was in the hospital and the place cards didn't have the meal selections on them. My maid of honor called Abby and she immediately went to work fixing things she could over the phone and she wasn't even on the clock yet. Once she arrived at my suite, with Chipotle for the entire bridal party! - she got right to work. Checking in with all of my vendors, fixing the place cards and making sure we were on track for timing. She helped my new photographer get an idea of what I wanted and helped him set everything up. I didn't worry about a thing! There were many times during the night were I would need something and right away Abby was there to help. I became a little crazy at some points screaming "AH! ABBY!!!! WHERE'S ABBY?!" and instantly she would appear with a smile on her face, armed with safety pins or a bottle of water. Everything was covered. My bridesmaids were also beyond thrilled to have Abby there so they could ask her questions and not have to worry me. No one wants to ask the bride where their boyfriend should sit during the ceremony or if they have enough time to run back to their room before introductions start; but these are questions that need to be answered and Abby had them all covered. I felt at ease knowing she was there to fix any little snafus that popped up. I could literally write a 5 page review on all the amazing things she did that day but hopefully you get the gist. My wedding was better because of her. Having a "day of" wedding coordinator makes your day so much better because you can relax and enjoy yourself and Abby is a terrific choice!

Without Abby my August 2014 wedding would have been a disaster - instead it was pure perfection!…read moreAbby and her colleague Christy made my at-home wedding (well - technically at my parents' house) a very memorable and hassle-free day! I knew I wanted to work with Abby from our first meeting where I thought I was very buttoned up, but Abby rightly asked some very good detail questions. I gushed about her to my then-fiance and we hired her that night. In the following few months Abby was very diligent about following up and with a few additional meetings, I felt extremely comfortable leaving my wedding in her capable hands. The day before the wedding, I explained the final details to Abby and then the day-of, she and Christy were totally autonomous. The whole wedding day I kept saying in amazement - "I can't believe how perfectly this is all coming together" - and that's totally because of Abby. She worked hard the whole day (and night) and I'm so grateful to her for my amazing wedding (with MANY MANY details and vendors) coming together just as I had imagined. THANK YOU ABBY!!!

The Jade Vine is also such a cozy and inviting event space for parties/get-togethers of 30 people or less.

Not only is she a dear friend, but she is also an extraordinary talent with an eye for the unexpected. She patiently stuck with us through a few plan changes, listened closely to my inspirations (even when they were scattered across different images), and transformed my vision into florals that were beyond anything I could have dreamed--textured, vibrant, moody, and utterly unique. From the stunning textured bridal bouquet to the lush ceremony arbor and sophisticated table arrangements, every detail was intentional and beautiful. She handled all the deliveries, setup, and takedown in the city with grace and care. Her shop in Kenilworth is just as delightful--filled with charming and thoughtfully curated gifts, from candles and cards to ornaments and tableware, all anchored by a breathtaking floral display. Whether you're planning a big event or just stopping in for a little joy, Ceciel is the one to call. I would choose her again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!
