Floral Artistry!
Julian's designs are nothing short of breathtaking—every arrangement feels like a living work of art. For a recent wedding, Julian brought the couple’s vision to life with lush, tropical blooms paired with disco balls. The bouquet was stunning, the pocket square was adorable, and the disco chandelier was magical. Beyond their incredible artistry, Julian is a dream to work with—responsive, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every petal is perfect. I confidently recommend them to any couple looking for unforgettable floral designs!
Everything we wanted and more!
Jules was a true creative partner to us in realizing our vision for our wedding day! He was so easy to work with from start to finish. It was clear that he really listened to us while being sensitive to our budget because I cried when I opened the initial floral proposal he sent over prior to our first call. We ended up doing a floral trial, which we highly recommend to get a feel for the colors and textures of the florals in real life. It's also a fun way to build up excitement for the big day. Jules was very responsive and flexible throughout the planning process. He helped us think creatively about how we could get the biggest visual bang for our buck, and made adjustments to our order as plans evolved. When my husband decided he wanted to handmake all of the vessels of the centerpieces instead of using the ones in Jules' inventory, Jules cheered him on in his endeavor. We felt like Jules was truly on our team -- so professional, reliable and supportive. A few weeks before the wedding, I sent Jules a picture of gorgeous (and apparently rare) peony that I had received from my husband-to-be. The day of our wedding, when Jules came to the bridal suite to deliver the ladies' bouquets, he surprised me with that that same type of peony in my bouquet, and later as part of the sweetheart table florals. Again, Jules showed how much he listens to and cares about his clients. The flowers at our wedding were so fresh and vibrant. They felt perfectly "us". It was everything we wanted and more. Thank you, Jules, for making our dreams come true!
Thank you for bringing our dream to life!
Finding a florist was unexpectedly one of the toughest parts of planning our wedding. We met with several vendors who, despite our best efforts to explain our vision, proposed designs that felt generic and out of touch with what we wanted. Then we met Julian. With nothing more than a list of Hex codes and a Pinterest board, he came back the next day with a concept that was beyond anything we could have imagined. As our plans evolved, Julian was flexible, always ensuring that the floral designs would have the biggest impact while staying true to our vision. On the wedding day, Julian’s excitement was palpable, and it was clear that he was fully invested in making our day perfect. We know he also became a trusted confidant and friend to our wedding planner, Allie from CityLux, which meant the world to us. Thank you, Julian, for bringing our dream to life with such stunning, thoughtful florals!
Amazing all around!!!
Working with Julian was a literal dream! When I first started working with Julian I didn't have a clear vision, I had vibes (lush, moody, romantic) and he walked me through the design process and every possible option to make that vibe a vision. Their proposal was comprehensive and included bespoke touches, like a section for "floral ingredients", so I knew exactly what to expect for price, style, and design. While all of our florals turned out so stunning and better than anything I could have imagined the one that always stands out in my mind is the wearable floral lapel that Julian created for my partner. It was such a unique twist for a suit wearer and added the perfect dramatic touch!
