    Absolutely amazing!!

    Oh my goodness…. Where do I begin. From start to finish, working with Heather was an absolute dream come true. After my first phone call with her, my partner actually asked which one of my close friends I had been chatting with on the phone because he overheard how animated and joyful the conversation was. Heather and Cindy were truly wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process and the flowers were seriously a work of art—I can’t get over how beautiful the flowers turned out. We are so incredibly appreciative to have Eclectic Sage as our wedding florist and I could not recommend Heather enough! She took my vision for our flowers and turned it into something truly magical.

    Amazing Work!!

    From the moment we inquired about floral services for our wedding, to bringing home the most beautiful arrangements post-wedding, Eclectic Sage has been nothing but amazing! Even the quote/proposal that we received, blew me away. Heather took our ideas and gave us a visual, perfectly laid out with pricing. We collected multiple quotes and none of them compare. That set the bar but the final result far exceeded our expectations. All I can say is that people have not stopped talking about our flowers. I have already started drying them because these are memories that I will cherish forever!!

    Incredibly talented and imaginative

    I can't say enough nice things about Heather and her work. Initially, my now husband and I planned to DIY our flowers/decor, but later felt it would be better to hire a professional given the size of our wedding. I am so so glad we met Heather and she was available for our wedding. She is so kind and flexible. We were able to meet virtually via FaceTime and discuss wedding plans on multiple occasions. She even worked with us to incorporate all the decor we had previously bought, including a wooden arch for the ceremony.

    What really impressed me about Heather was her ability to create a conceptual design that fit us so perfectly after talking with us once on FaceTime. We were having a loose national park theme for our wedding and I told her some of my favorite flowers/plants. I was blown away by the proposal she sent us later! It was like she read my mind and made all those ideas even better. I saw "Jurassic Park meets National Park" and knew we found the perfect person to help make our wedding day as personal as possible. Heather and her team were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. She even came out for a site visit to finalize details.

    Seeing her ideas come to life on our wedding day was simply amazing. We had our wedding at my husband's aunt's house and Heather transformed the space, giving it a romantic forest feel. It was better than I could have ever imagined. Her creativity is astonishing and I am so grateful that we were able to have her be part of our wedding.

    Incredibly talented!!

    Heather was such a pleasure to work with! She got my style down immediately. Just by going off of her portfolio, I knew that I could trust her with anything I brought her way. She executed everything perfectly and made my wedding day into a dream! Her style is exquisite and it's an added bonus that her personality matches it!

    Heather with Eclectic Sage is seriously THE BEST. She worked with me to make my visions come to life seamlessly and everything turned out even better than I anticipated. She was always willing to work with me as I tweaked my ideas and was just an all around joy to work with. She is funky and different and not afraid to go outside of the box which is what drew me to her and SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I got so many compliments on my wedding day florals and I just can't stop looking at the pictures. Thank you Heather! You are so great at what you do!

    Heather, of Eclectic Sage, is not only an incredibly creative florist but also a pleasure to work with! With our limited budget, my daughter chose to focus on a floral arch and a dramatic bridal bouquet for her wedding. We opted out of elaborate table displays and used the bride’s bouquet as décor for the sweetheart table. We brought some metal geometric orbs to Heather and asked if she could create bridesmaids bouquets from them as well as incorporate on the tables. Heather relied on her exceptional expertise and talent to choose seasonal flowers that complemented the wedding colors (dresses, tablecloths, etc.) to create the most stunning pieces ever! We were beyond thrilled with what Heather and her team created. Clearly, we recommend Eclectic Sage as a wedding florist, but best to remember to “let Heather do her thing”. Don’t box her in with specific requests - show her some of what you like on (e.g. Pinterest) and let her loose to create more than what you hoped for. Yes, she is that good!

    It is hard to find the words to describe how amazing Heather and her team at Eclectic Sage are! When my (now) husband and I first met Heather, we knew immediately that she was the perfect person to help us make our visions become a reality. She was the first and only florist we met with! Not only did she capture everything I dreamed of, she made it a million times better! We cannot thank them enough for all of the time and effort they put in to making our wedding perfect, for all of their patience with me and the many times I changed my mind, and for going above and beyond to make sure I had exactly what I wanted. The flowers were more amazing than I could have imagined. Not only is Heather super talented, she is so sweet and an absolute joy to work with! Eclectic Sage is the best, hands down!

    My husband and I were planning our North Carolina wedding from NYC and all my communication with Eclectic Sage occurred via email or phone call. I could not be happier with their work or the experience! Our flower budget was modest but that did not deter Heather from working with us; in fact, she was incredibly helpful in making suggestions of places where we could cut costs. And the results were lovely - the personal flowers were elegant and beautiful! Our reception space was an old industrial space; we rented a variety of floating and votive candles from Eclectic Sage and we had some simple bud vases that provided a lovely pop of color and brought an understated elegance to the space. I am very grateful to Heather, Debra and their entire team for their beautiful contributions to our day!

    I can't thank Heather enough for creating the most beautiful, elegant personal flowers for our big day this past October! Eclectic Sage was already rather busy the weekend of my wedding, but they were kind enough to squeeze my wedding into their schedule, as I only needed personal flowers for our event (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages). I talked with Heather on the phone about my vision of what the florals would look like on the big day and provided her a small selection of photos I'd like that provided me inspiration. I was a bit anxious on the big day not knowing exactly what the flowers were going to look like, but my mouth hit the floor in disbelief when my wedding coordinator brought them in to the dressing room. The Eclectic Sage team can work some serious magic! I couldn't have imagined an arrangement that was more "me". I want to thank Heather, Debra, and the rest of the team for fitting us in and creating such beauty on our big day. High quality flowers, impressive detail, gorgeous execution.

    We cannot thank Heather and her team enough for a wonderful experience!! We met with Heather and she understood our vision and created something beyond our dreams. We are so happy with the final product. We loved everything about the florals. Our photos would not be the same without the beautiful florals that were created.

    I saw Eclectic Sage's table at a bridal fair and immediately knew I wanted them to do my wedding. Heather has the most amazing eye, and even in a room full of florists putting their best foot forward, her work stands out as absolutely stunning. She helped us outfit a large reception space on a budget, which we so appreciated, and my bridal party flowers absolutely took my breath away. She also did a wonderful job with smaller details -- like a floral garland on our head table and a tiny succulent in my husbands boutonniere -- that people loved. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for flawless and interesting flowers for any event.

    Heather and her team are amazing!!!!!!! I tried so hard to find images of flowers I liked for my wedding, but just couldn't find the right ones. I know what I wanted, it just didn't seem to be out there. From just one meeting with Heather, she captured my vision and created the both breathtaking flowers and arrangements. When she delivered them on my wedding day, I was speechless! All the bouquets and arrangements have life and movement to them and even my husband (who said he didn't care about flowers) loved the details of rosemary that Heather added to his boutonniere. I mentioned once that he loved rosemary, and Heather made a note of that.

    Heather also helped me think of creative ideas (ie: moms held a single white rose instead of corsage, reused ceremony flowers for the cocktail hour, etc) to help stay within my budget. I wanted to donate my flowers after my ceremony, and Heather helped me find a local vendor that would take them all to a local hospital.

    I can not thank Eclectic Sage enough for helping my vision for my wedding become a reality. They are an amazing group of designers that create some of the most amazing, beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen.

    Heather and her team at Eclectic Sage are absolute masters of their craft! They created a magical woodland forest setting for our wedding and reception at the Umstead Hotel in Cary. It was exactly as we imagined and even more! The amount of detail was incredible. Everywhere you looked was another beautiful detail - trees, ferns, antlers, mountains of flowers, even down to moss covered frogs hidden in the greenery. We also had our own willow arbor that we wanted to get married beneath and the Eclectic Sage folks covered it in lush, draping greenery and beautiful roses, hydrangea, etc. It was gorgeous and set the tone for the whole ceremony, along with the stunning aisle displays which showed up magnificently in photographs. Her combination of colors using deep rose, purples, pinks, and whites was rich and vibrant. When guests entered our reception it felt like walking into a woodland garden. The focal point was the cake table and Heather put a beautiful framed trellis over it with hanging gloves filled with candle and roses. The forest inspired cake was covered in an amazing garland of real flowers and was sitting on an authentic reindeer pelt that Heather was able to secure for us. My bridal bouquet was the most beautiful single piece in our whole wedding. When it was delivered I cried - I had never seen anything so perfect and so special. The entire day felt that way and it was largely due to the theme and tone set by Heather and the amazing folks at Eclectic Sage. My advice - imagine what is most beautiful to YOU, gather pictures, articulate your vision and share it with Heather. Then let go, trust her, sit back, and be amazed. We certainly were.

    The flowers for our daughter's wedding exceeded our expectations. We ordered the "artist choice" flower selection so Heather could use her creativity without any limitations. Debra helped us initially with selecting the flower pieces that were within our budget and suggested we allow the artist to select the flowers that were available and in our price range. That was great advice. The bouquets were gorgeous and we also used them for centerpieces at the reception. I would recommend Eclectic Sage to anybody wanting extraordinary flowers for their special day.

    Heather and her team were such an amazing addition to our wedding. Flowers were a huge part of the vision for our wedding and Eclectic Sage exceeded my wildest dreams with what they created for our day. Not everyone can take a convoluted design theme like "a midsummer night's New Orleans garden party" and turn it into something that makes sense. The Eclectic Sage team, though, ran with it and created something gorgeous that we will never forget!

    Heather and the team at Eclectic Sage is amazing. Hands down.

    When planning my wedding, I really didn't have a vision for flowers - nor was I too excited about picking them out. My only direction was that I wanted the florals to be harmonious with the venue, and to keep a natural, fresh neutral color palate. After my consultation with Heather and her sweet mom Debra, I was so energized and excited about what Heather would create - all WELL within my budget. That feeling was only topped when I saw everything come together on our wedding day! Heather even drove out to the middle of nowhere to collect Eucalyptus from the tree in my fiancee's front yard to incorporate it in our bouquets, boutonnières, and arrangements - SO special.

    Heather and Debra made me feel as if I was the only bride they had on their books. From the first inquiry about availability for my date - to seeing them on my wedding day when they delivered the bouquets to me and my bridal party. They made me feel so at ease - and I know the personal touches and service they provided is so unique to how they operate, and speaks to their passion for the art they create.

    I'm so grateful that I made the decision to work with Eclectic Sage for my wedding - amazing people (plus an adorable adopted Greyhound), amazing talent, amazing florals, amazing value.

    Heather was by far one of the best investments we made into our wedding! She's not only great to work with, but is so creative and talented it was nice not to have to worry if I would like the florals the day of the wedding! We met with her and her mom in their studio for an initial consult and they went out of their way explaining things, helping answer all my questions, and even showing me some flowers and ideas they had! Last minute, I decided I wanted a floral head crown, and she graciously made that happen without a flinch and I was confident she would make something beautiful. Everyone commented on how gorgeous the arrangements were and they were truly the icing on the cake and the detail that made all our decor, colors, and theme come together! Thank you Debra and Heather for all that you did as well as your kindness throughout it all!

    Heather's flowers for my daughters wedding from Eclectic Sage were totally amazing! She not only heard and understood what we wanted but she created such beautiful arrangements and bouquets and everybody was in awe of how everything came together! The colors and flowers that she picked for the theme we were going with were absolutely stunning! A thank you too to Debra, who was quick to answer any questions we had along the way! Thank you ladies for an amazing job well done!!

    Working with Heather was so easy and fun! I went into my first meeting with her not terribly excited about flowers--I'd heard how expensive they can be and was worried about getting caught up in all the hype of bouquets, boutonnieres, gigantic centerpieces, etc... Heather. was. awesome!

    I never once felt like she was offended or didn't think I was worth her time when, off the bat, I told her all I wanted was a bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, and boutonnieres for the guys... No centerpieces! I was concerned about meeting with florists because I was afraid my "smaller order" wouldn't be taken care of as well as a large expensive order for the bouquets, ceremony decoration, and reception centerpieces.

    Not only did she not bat an eye at my slight "indifference" or rather, fear, of the business she is in for a living, but she had fun with me and got me into it! I had some pretty crazy fun floral bridesmaid dresses that I wanted to coordinate with. I wanted simple for the bridesmaids, but classic and fun for me!

    After shuffling through colors and a few flower options, I basically let Heather choose it all! She seemed confident that she knew what I was looking for and I trusted her 100% to create something amazing. I never needed to see a practice bouquet or see the flower stems before she created them... I simply was handed my bouquet before I walked down the aisle and had all the confidence in the world that it would be beautiful and perfect. And it was!

    Heather was so fun and easy to work with. She created my vision from start to finish, delivered my flowers to the church, and truly made my floral experience so much fun!

    Heather is amazing, hands down, the best.

    I cannot say enough about this wonderful place. They created the utmost beautiful flowers for our wedding that screamed of our personality.

    At first I was nervous to go bold and have the colorful flowers that I always wanted, but when I found Heather, I knew her creative vision was exactly what I needed in order to pull that look off.

    I gave her a few photos of what I wanted and sent her my invitation to guide her.

    She made all my jumbled thoughts come to life and really made that day a wonderland of awesomeness. Every arrangement I saw was perfect and I about fell over with excitement when I first saw my bouquet. It was even better than the pictures I saved or the things I had seen before. She literally made that with me in mind and that was so special.

    She posted my bouquet on instagram the day after my wedding, and Southern Bride & Groom picked it up and re-grammed it, saying it was there favorite of the weekend and the perfect September bouquet. I couldn't agree more!

    Debra was incredibly sweet too, I just wanted them to come attend the wedding I loved this team so much!

    I ABSOLUTELY recommend working with Heather and her team!

    We used Eclectic Sage for our wedding back in June. They provided flowers for the church, wedding party and the reception. I was speechless when our bouquets arrived at the church. They were so beautiful that I welled up with tears. Heather did an amazing job capturing exactly what I described and envisioned. I still gush over my wedding photos that have our bouquets in them. As for reception, she created 2-3 different center pieces for our 20+ tables. Our sweetheart table also had an amazing piece on it as well. We received many compliments about the creativity, uniqueness and sophistication of her pieces. We highly recommend Eclectic Sage to anyone having a wedding in the Raleigh Durham area. Heather and Debra are friendly, prompt and professional.

    I hired Heather to do centerpieces, boutonnieres, corsages and bouquets for my wedding and I requested an uncommon mix or calla lilies and orchids. Heather was up for the challenge and delivered a spectacular array of centerpieces and bouquets that took my breath away. I specially asked for smaller centerpieces because I didn’t want to detract from the beauty of our venue. Heather created amazing, modern and sleek centerpieces complete with Picasso calla lilies, vanda orchids, white and purple lisianthus, purple tulips, Italian ruscus, white and purple hydrangea. All of my guests marveled over the beauty of the flowers at their tables. And my bouquet was killer. The delicate flowers complimented the lace in my dress better than I imagined. Heather nailed my vision and was worth every penny. Thank you for making my day so beautiful Heather!

    We loved Heather's creativity & unique style! My daughters wedding was a beautiful farm venue and we were looking for casual but unique floral accents. Heather exceeded our expectations! Beautiful flowers at reasonable price!

    Heather was awesome to work with! She really helped the feel of our wedding come together and was able to come up with unique flowers based on all of the different ideas I had. Pricing, creativity, and responsibility was all 5 stars and I would definitely recommend her!!
