"I just wanted to drop you a note to say you were one of the best vendors I have ever worked with, and by far one of the best among wedding vendors! You obviously know your craft well, are organized and I would always give you free-reign on making decisions about flowers! You listened and understood exactly what I was after. You created the most beautiful bouquets, boutonnières, table arrangements and ceremony designs. Everything was so unique! My bouquet was the rave among my friends and family (they too had never see such unique flowers) and my husband's boutonnière was admired by all. You made my wedding extremely unique and very beautiful. You know your flowers (thank goodness because I don't)! You were also extremely professional – from your punctuality to working with a budget to follow up after the event. Thank you!"
