Woodland Floral Design Co. 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Akron, PA

Proud Cat & Dog Mom // Your New Wedding Vendor BFF It’s never been just about pretty flowers to me. I started out in social work because I wanted to serve and connect with others. I first entered the floral design world as an intern in 2016 and noticed a lack of originality in designs and a need for more connection between the florist and the couple. When I started WFD in 2019, I decided to prioritize both artistic designs and building long-term relationships with each couple. Planning my own wedding in 2021 gave me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of receiving creative expertise and genuine support from wedding vendors.

Misha is an absolutely fantastic florist and a wonderful human. Within 5 minutes of our first call, I knew I wanted to work with her. We were planning a slightly unorthodox wedding & Misha understood our vision immediately! She ran with it and created the most beautiful flowers, from my bouquet to the decorative flowers around our venue, she made our dream come to life! And all throughout the process, she was so kind, not just handling the vision but also checking in on me as a person, and taking stress off of my plate. If you get the opportunity to work with Misha, TAKE IT!!!!!! She is simply the best.

Hi, I'm Kelsey! I'm blessed with a loving husband, 3 kitties whom I adore and a plethora of interests. I love hiking with my husband, martial arts, playing music and singing, I'm crazy about animals, I'm absolutely fascinated by linguistics and other cultures. Also, & to my hubby, I'm rather nerdy (you'll see me rolling around in my limited edition Iron Man Hyundai, haha), so if you're into Star Wars, superheroes, etc., I'm sure we will get along just fine ;). What did I say about a plethora of interests? I've been doing photography passionately for at least 14 years. Any talent I have is God given and I do this all to bring fame to His name!

Erica was awesome to work with. I was a little nervous about my wedding makeup since I do not normally wear a lot of makeup daily. Erica completely crushed my makeup trial and my wedding makeup. I wanted some glam for my wedding, but also wanted to look myself. Erica gave me a great natural and glam look. I loved the airbrush makeup as it was light and felt like I wasn’t even wearing makeup. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup. Also, everyone loved their look on the wedding day. It held up great throughout the night. Her touchup bag was so cute that she gave me to reapply later in the night. I absolutely loved working with Erica. She was kind, quick to respond, helped put a timeline together for the wedding day, and cares about her clients. I recommend Erica for your wedding makeup needs.

We found Zach through another videographer and we are so glad he was recommended! From start to finish Zach was professional, kind, knowledgeable and a pleasure. He worked with us when we wanted to pay in installments and checked in on us during the whole planning process just to see if we had any questions since we were planning our wedding by ourselves. During the day of the wedding, he was around to get some amazing shots but was also not distracting to the activities of the day. He delivered our highlight in a timely manner and it is amazing to see. While making our full length we asked for a few tweaks, and he has been more than willing to adjust it so it's exactly what we wanted. He is such a delight to work with and we will be recommending him to anyone who is looking for one! We can't thank him enough for capturing our day and allowing us to relive it whenever we want!

Hi, I’m Shay. I am looking forward to meeting with you. I find it incredibly exciting to engage with new personalities in their various facets - and to capture them with my camera. You will immediately notice: I love what I do. I don't really see my work as work, but rather as an inspiring journey with my couples - in which we tell a beautiful story together. Your very own! I am a fun, loving, energetic person and I love helping my couples make memories of a lifetime. Not only will I capture your amazing day from behind the lens, but I will also help make sure your wedding day runs as smoothly as possible.

Shay Scala Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we won our engagement photos I just knew I had to have her do our wedding photos as well, her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions promptly and thoroughly. On the day of the wedding, she was a pleasure to work with - she made us feel at ease and captured so many beautiful, natural moments that we'll treasure forever. The final photos exceeded our expectations, perfectly documenting our special day. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality provided by Shay Scala Photography, and we highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

We are so grateful to the entire team at Melhorn Manor for making our wedding day happen!! It's hard to even know where to begin - from start to finish, every detail of the day was magical thanks to the team's hard work and expertise. When my fiancé and I started the wedding planning process, we toured plenty of venues, but we knew right away that Melhorn Manor was different in the best way. We were used to being rushed through other venue tours, dismissed because our wedding wasn't big enough, and generally being made to feel more like dollar signs than excited newlyweds-to-be. But our experience at Melhorn Manor couldn't have been further from this - we met Allory for the tour, and before we took a step through the property, he took the time to introduce himself and the Melhorn family and to share the lovely story of how Melhorn Manor came about. We didn't feel rushed or pressured like we had at other venues, and Allory really took the time to understand our vision for our big day and help us imagine it around the property. We left that day glowing and feeling sure that "this is the one!" And how right we were!! We really can't say enough positive things about our wedding day. Getting ready in the amazing bridal suite and Groom's room was such a fun and special way to kick off the day. As the ceremony approached, it was so clear that the team was all working so hard to make sure all the decor was set up, every detail was thought through, and every moment went off without a hitch. What a special and humbling feeling it is to have so many people invested in making your special day as magical and memorable as you've always hoped it would be - it's impossible to express the depth of our gratitude. Our wedding day was quite a rainy one, but the Melhorn team had a plan for everything. Melhorn Manor had the most robust rain plan of any venue we toured: some venues' plans had felt more like an afterthought, while Melhorn offers an entirely separate building that can be used for the ceremony in inclement weather. It was such a huge relief to feel like we didn't have to worry about adjusting every detail on the fly, and to go into our rainy wedding day knowing that, regardless of the weather, it would be just as beautiful and special as we always imagined. We had and continue to have SO many of our guests, both on the wedding night and afterwards, tell us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. So many glowing comments about the beautiful venue, the fun had on the dance floor, the amazing and kind staff, and all of the countless details that go into making the day memorable. We couldn't agree more that Melhorn Manor was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we have the incredible team to thank for all the hard work, attention to detail, and love that went into making this the wedding of our dreams. We, and our families and loved ones, will truly cherish the memory of this day for a lifetime. We are so grateful to have had the absolute joy of working with Allory, Jess, and the entire Melhorn Manor team. They were enthusiastic, thoughtful, kind, and so organized at every step of the way. We can't imagine what our special day would have looked like anywhere other than Melhorn Manor - what an amazing place that will hold a special place in our hearts forever. We simply can't thank the entire staff enough!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Taylor! I used her for my baby shower, and she completely exceeded my expectations. Not only did she handle the event design flawlessly, but she also created the most stunning florals for me. I sent just two inspiration pictures, and what she delivered was even better than I imagined. Her attention to detail, creativity, and execution were absolutely top-notch. My guests were blown away, and the event was everything I dreamed of and more. If you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life (and then some), I highly recommend Taylor!

We are so so so happy that we booked Lauren for our wedding day. She and Julianna (second shooter) were so incredible. They made us feel so comfortable and did a great job at keeping everyone on track. We just got our sneak peek back and they are so much better than we even imagined. We couldn’t be happier that we chose Lauren as our photographer.

The Trolley House was the perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, the staff was so helpful, responsive, and a joy to work with. Their communication was clear, prompt, and made planning a breeze. The venue itself is gorgeous - the restored trolley barn features beautiful exposed brick and wood beams that provided a warm, rustic backdrop for our big day. The outdoor patio area was huge and accommodated all of our guests with room to spare. They helped coordinate all of the event timing and logistics seamlessly so we could just relax and have fun.

We were a little late in finding a venue for our wedding but so happy we found a late fall opening with Strock Enterprises on their beautiful farm in Mechanicsburg. Kurt Strock and his team made the process super easy and walked us through all of our questions. Their option for having us provide some of our table top decorations while using some of their decorations helped the budget along. The food was amazing and Kurt's Dad (original Farm owner/operator) is superb at his barbeques - we had a full pig roast and barbeque steak). Would highly recommend.
