Barb does beautiful work!
I first met Barb at her house to go over everything i wanted in more details, she had everything i needed to see at her house, she gave me ideas and recommendations. I had so mush trust in her with my flowers, i didn't get to see them till i showed up to the venue with just enough time to get out of the car and walk down the isle. I'm in love with them and i cant stop looking at them. perfect amount of colour for my pictures!
Thanks Barb!

Kassandra, how kind of you to take the time to write this review & share some of your beautiful memories. I'm so glad that you entrusted your pretty flowers to my creativity, and it was my pleasure to help you achieve your vision. My one regret is that I was not able to give you your bouquet myself on wedding day. But you all looked fabulous!
Congratulations on tying the knot, & best wishes to you and your adorable family for a wonderful future!

Wonderful experience
Barb was absolutely amazing, her extreme eye for detail coupled with her passion for what she does floods into her work. She was extremely attentive and responsive to me at all times. She took everything I said I wanted and was able to make my vision come to life. It was so great to work with her. I appreciated how much she kept me informed and thought it was so nice that she wanted to hand deliver the flowers and set them up, an amazing personal touch that really indicates how much she really does have a passion for what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone, I had an amazing experience.

Barb is the most amazing to work with! I didn't know much about flowers, but she is patient, explains, and has great ideas! She was so responsive to all of my questions over the entire planning process and so thorough with explanations and details. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and you can tell Barb loves what she does. I would work with Barb again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone!

Amazing value for amazing flowers
Barb is simply amazing at what she does and takes the time to ensure she captures exactly what is is you are looking for. She also works closely with local vendors to ensure your vision comes to life. My whole wedding day I couldn't stop staring at my bouquet, it was just stunning. I felt it was also very good value, especially considering the time she took to meet with us and all the back and forth communications.

Dear Emily
What a joy it was for me to create your bouquet & your groom's boutonniere. They will be considered some of my favorite compositions from the 2018 wedding season. I snapped tons of pictures of your bouquet especially because there were so many points of beauty to be seen from every angle. The perfect compliment to the awesome looking couple that you are.
And thank you for taking the time to provide these wonderful words of review which are greatly appreciated. Serving you & your new hubby was my sincerest pleasure and I wish you all the happiness possible as Mr. & Mrs.
