Beautiful Experience

Words cannot describe how happy Emerald City Designs made us feel. They were so professional, understanding, and attentive, they were the best hands down. From our design ideas and vision to the final decor looks, floral, and day of coordination, it was all one of the best decisions we’ve made! Ann was truly a godsend! We are so grateful for Ann she delivered impeccable service from the beginning to the end! Everything was beautiful! Thank you Emerald City Designs for making our day so memorable!!

Beyond our Wildest Expectations!!!

My husband and I used ECD for all of our wedding needs, and they made our lives a breeze! From our Save the Dates, to invites, bridal shower centerpieces, printed materials, and overall floral and decor for our wedding. Nicole and her team put my Pinterest Inspiration photos to shame - they executed every detail more perfectly than we could have imagined! Every guest went on and on about how beautiful the floral was, how incredible the details were, and how the entire event from start to finish was cohesive and intentional. I cannot thank the ECD team enough! They were able to understand our vision, offer incredible suggestions, stay within our budget, and create the wedding of our dreams. I would recommend ECD to anyone and everyone! They took all of the stress out of planning and executing our wedding day!

Absolutely stunning florals

The floral decor at our wedding was absolutely gorgeous and elegant.
I went in with limited budget, but Natalie understood the idea and colours i was going for and made my dream come true on the day of the wedding.
I was out of state bride and felt absolutely no stress what so ever because Natalie was organised, timely and had a really good vision for colour coordination. We mostly talked on phone and met once and couldn't believe the final results.
She was super flexible with changes. Thank you so much ECD team.

A dream come true!

Before I started to plan my wedding, I was in love with Emerald City Designs. I stumbled upon them on FB and had been following them for about a year before I was engaged. When I got engaged I knew they had to be one of my vendors and I was so happy when I learned the Infinity and Ovation Yacht Charters used them. I just knew they were going to nail my vision and they blew my expectations out of the water. I love peonies and had always imagined I would have them in my wedding. That limited my time of year to a very specific time frame to ensure that they were in season. I went into EMC with a picture of a bouquet that I was interested in and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. They brought my vision to life. From the linens, to the small detail of the roses on our charger plates. To the candles near the centerpieces so I could get the romantic feeling I was going for even though we were on a yacht. I had so much fun at their design center that I spent way longer than planned nailing down every detail. Stacey was so fun to work with and she got me instantly and knew what I was looking for. We mapped out the décor and I was on my way. I was so excited when I got my sneak peak at my centerpieces. It was absolutely breath taking. My dream of peonies came true and the rain cleared up and allowed me to have my beautiful pergola that I was so looking forward to. This company is the best. If you need someone to make your dreams a reality.. look no further. You will not be disappointed. They play close attention to detail and really listen to what type of style you are going for. I just know that we are going to have some amazing photos of the flowers and décor. I cannot wait to see them all from the photographer’s point of view.

Working with Nicole and Natalie was such a pleasure -- they totally understood the design we wanted, were incredibly helpful at every turn, and they deserves a ton of credit for making our wedding go off without a hitch! The decor was stunning, and we couldn’t have imagined a better snapshot of our dream wedding. Would recommend them to anyone!

Emerald City Designs was so easy to work with, and the results were amazing! We worked with Natalie for most of our planning process, and she was so friendly, responsive, and had so many great ideas! She helped us design an absolutely gorgeous wedding. We have received so many compliments on the gorgeous decor. I cannot recommend ECD enough!

Emerald City is beyond spectacular! My family and I had been to a few weddings that Emerald City designed and we knew that they were a fantastic vendor. When my husband and I got engaged, one of the first vendor decisions that we made was hiring Emerald City and we were thrilled with the entire process and final result! Emerald City spends a significant amount of time during the initial design meetings to understand your color scheme, theme, favorite flowers, style of your wedding dress, and style of the bridesmaid dresses. They talk to you about potential ideas and use the details of your wedding to come up with an entire design for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Then, there is a Table Preview day, where you get to see what your tables will look like. They create a preview of everything for you and go the extra mile to ensure that everything is absolutely perfect! From Day One, we knew that we would be thrilled with Emerald City; however, the Table Preview Day reinforced the fact that they would create a fairytale, dreamy reception room for us. Emerald City certainly delivered! When the entire reception room was put together and prior to the guests entering, they brought my husband and I into the room and we were absolutely blown away by the gorgeous flowers, table cloths, and overall, glow that they created with the beautiful candlelight in the room. The reception was absolutely stunning and was far beyond anything we could have hoped for or imagined! Our guests are still talking about the wedding being the most beautiful that they had seen and it was only possible because of the incredible talent and effort of Emerald City Designs!

Emerald City Designs is by far the most amazing wedding vendor I have ever worked with! They perfectly captured my vision for our big day, and were so easy to work with! Everything including customer service was high quality, and they took care of every little detail, including set-up and take down! I didn't have to lift a finger on my big day!

Thank you so much Emerald City Design!! My daughter's wedding was stunning!! Her wedding took place at The Inn at St. John on May 20, 2017 and was a night that we'll never forget. Nicole (and other staff) helped us through all the planning making Amanda's venue absolutely beautiful!! The flowers, arrangements, seating, linens, seating chart, place cards and lighting were so soft, romantic and beautiful. The staff was so kind, warm and helpful when I went down to set up the candy table the morning of the wedding. They made sure that everything was to my liking and that it was they way I planned it. We live out of town and planning this venue was made so easy by Emerald City Designs!! Thank you for making Amanda and Billy's wedding a night to remember.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
