One of the most important components to me for our wedding was the flowers. I chose Poppy Flowers because of the look I wanted for the ceremony and reception and with the lower minimum cost required compared to other florists. We went with a pastel theme given we had a spring wedding. I had countless complements on the centerpieces at the reception – they were gorgeous. They were the perfect match for elegant look I wanted. My bouquet and my husband’s boutonniere were also beautiful and what we were expecting. The website was a little glitchy for me in a couple of instances (the IT people had to address the issues) – hopefully they have all of those issues resolved now. Aside from those minor issues, we were very pleased with our decision to go with Poppy. Thank you for providing the gorgeous flowers for our day!

Yvonne, the owner herself, and her team did a fantastic job with the mandap/chuppah design and decoration for our wedding. Her entire process is highly customer-oriented; she attends to all the details that matter to the couple and their family members, including design, budget, and execution.

Dreamscapes Wedding Floral Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was timely, transparent, and incredibly detailed. Amanda, the owner, took the time to truly understand our vision and made sure every floral element was executed beautifully. The bouquets and ceremony decor were all vibrant, colorful, and of the highest quality. Amanda was a recommendation from my family members, as she had also done the flowers for 3 of our other family weddings, and I'm so glad we trusted their glowing reviews.

We worked with Deniege at Alto Floral Designs for our wedding on September 21, 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Deniege was a dream to work with—creative, professional, and incredibly reliable. She provided my bridal bouquet, the groom’s boutonniere, bridesmaids’ bouquets, wrist corsages for the moms and grandma, and stunning table arrangements. After reviewing our wedding timeline, she even included a free toss bouquet, which was such a thoughtful and generous touch! Throughout the planning process, Deniege’s communication was excellent—emails were answered quickly, making it so easy to finalize details and feel confident about everything. The payment process was straightforward and stress-free, which we really appreciated during the busy planning period. Deniege also offered practical, budget-friendly suggestions, like re-using the bridesmaid bouquets as table arrangements during the reception, helping us maximize our budget without sacrificing elegance. The flowers were absolutely stunning, and her attention to detail shone through in every arrangement. On the day of the wedding, everything was delivered to the correct location right on time, and her team came back at the end of the night to pick everything up promptly. Deniege’s timeliness and reliability gave us so much peace of mind on such a busy day. If you’re looking for a florist who is talented, flexible, and easy to work with, we highly recommend Deniege at Alto Floral Designs.

I highly recommend Goldies Flowers & Gifts! I reached out to them in February for my June wedding, and they were more than happy to help. Zorica was creative, communicative, and supportive every step of the way. She let me send her photos and other inspiration, and she made adjustments when the colors weren't exactly what I had in mind. In the end, my bouquet, flower crown, and centerpieces were gorgeous and even better than I imagined. I will be going to Goldies for any future floral needs! 3 Photos by Something Blue Photography in Arlington Heights, IL—I also highly recommend!!!

We decided to surprise our families with our wedding in Santa Ynez and asked Clover & Stone to create the bouquet, flower arraignments & altar (yes they also built us an A-frame to get married within). They did not disappoint, our families just could not get over the beauty and creativity their team produced, not to mention the professionalism, punctuality and calmness under the pressure we created for them being part of a surprise wedding.

My husband and I booked Flowers by Stem after speaking with Stephanie and discussing our budget & vision. She sent back an amazing proposal and we just had to lock them in for our big day. From the beginning they were easy to communicate with and when things were changing closer to the date, they quickly responded and made sure we were all set. On the day of the wedding, they were right on time, and I am so thrilled and happy we went with them because the flowers and decor were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Stephanie & her team delivered exactly what they promised and more! We received so many compliments about the bouquets, flowers & decor on the day-of and for days after!

The aesthetic of Saville’s honors classic European floral design with a touch of the extraordinary and unique. We create a feast for the senses in every sophisticated arrangement and bouquet that leaves our store, incorporating a lush mix of textural foliage amongst our unusual blooms.

Contact us through our website to fill out our Wedding Consultation form and receive your personalized wedding proposal! We look forward to working with you.

I used to live in Evanston and relied on Saville for all my special occasions. When it came to planning my wedding, I knew that head floral designer Mark was the only person for my floral vision! He graciously agreed to fly down and cater to our wedding in Fort Myers, Florida. Mark went above and beyond to make our wedding decor outstanding. He took on much more than just a florist role- he basically stepped in and became the day-of coordinator. He is a natural!! I hadn't hired a wedding planner, and Mark basically took it upon himself to be that person. It was amazing, and I would highly recommend his services. As far as the flowers go- I will let the photos speak for themselves. The spread was absolutely stunning and even beyond what I had in mind. Mark met my vision and then added to it! I never would have thought of the fresh fruit on the tables, but it really brought such a pop of life and freshness to our early Spring wedding! The complimenting candles were also his idea, and it made the space glow beautifully when the sun went down. Best of all was my bridal arrangement. As you can see, it was the highlight of every photo. THANK YOU MARK AND SAVILLE!! Because of you, my wedding day was brighter. I cannot recommend this team highly enough for their professionalism, artistic vision, creativity, and commitment to your big day!
