Sarah was the perfect bride for us! She had beautiful ideas and an eye for design, while still allowing us to be creative and have some fun. The ceremony was flanked by oversized urns, filled with local pampas grass and smoke bush. Dried florals were the perfect complement to the romantic, muted centerpieces.

CLIENT REVIEW

“Five out of five stars is not enough stars for Florals by Kimberly. I honestly feel like she did such a phenomenal job with our wedding that additional stars were added to the review universe just for her. Three reasons why you should hire her…1) Her infectious passion 2) Her crazy talent 3) Her incredible ideas.

First let me address her passion…

The first thing you need to know about my wedding was that we got married in 2020. Planning a wedding is basically a second job, planning a wedding during a global pandemic is a lifelong career crammed into a year. COVID managed to suck a lot of the joy out of my planning process, but every time I spoke with Kimberly about our flowers, all the stress melted away and she renewed my excitement. Her passion for florals, design, and presentation was so infectious that she helped me to find the joy and beauty again. We spoke twice before the wedding. The first time was a discovery call where she listened to all my ideas. Kimberly was extremely validating and encouraging and made me feel like a VIP. She encouraged me to think outside the box and get excited about things I didn’t even know were possible. The second time we spoke was a few weeks before the wedding where she presented me with a mood board and we picked out candle colors, vases and went over everything she was going to do from centerpieces to boutonnieres. I was so thrilled with the images- but nothing could have prepared me for what she delivered…I’ll never forget walking into my venue the day-of only to find her and her squad hard at work putting everything together. Kimberly was smiling ear-to-ear when she looked up to see me and rushed over to show me around. She ushered me from room to room, so proud of what she had done... and rightfully so. That amount of passion from someone who is working on such a key part of bringing your wedding together is frankly priceless.

Second let us address her insane talent and incredible ideas…She turned our venue into a wonderland. She did everything I asked and more. Everywhere you looked there was a little floral surprise which made all the difference in making our wedding so unique. Even some hallways that would normally have been considered inconsequential, Kimberly found a way to leave a special touch. I was shocked and delighted with every room she showed me, only to be blown away by our ceremony space. We asked her to dress two urns outside that framed our ceremony, and using her incredible creativity she turned them into towering bastions of floral delight- it was astoundingly beautiful. When it came to personal flowers, her special touches were just as evident. My maid-of-honor doubled as my flower girl, a lifelong dream of hers that I was happy to grant her. Kimberly took it upon herself to have made my best friend's lifelong pursuit well worth the wait. She used a vintage hat pattern to create the most jaw-dropping botanical crown that would make Frida Kahlo blush. My own hair piece was so beautiful, my hair stylist was amazed. And my bouquet was so lovely it was difficult to surrender upon reaching the end of the aisle. Even the way she delivered them was thoughtful. Every personal floral came with a handwritten name tag done in calligraphy…the boutonnieres were all pinned artfully to a piece of cork- our photographer was thrilled. It’s those little details that make a huge difference.

If I haven’t made it clear yet by this opera of singing her praises, let me be plain- hiring Florals by Kimberly was the best decision I made for our wedding. Her knowledge and passion about floral design combined with her industry connections were invaluable. We worked with a lot of vendors who did a good job, but she went above and beyond to make our wedding memorable. I will forever be thankful that she shared her talent with us on our big day.”
