Yelena at Elegant Design Floral Art Studio was a pleasure to work with. She was willing to conduct business with me over email, which is a necessity when you are planning a wedding and working 50-60 hours a week. Her floral designs are beautiful. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted my arrangements to look like, and she was able to create them with her own flair. I love how her arrangements are both classic and simple, but also often interesting and different. She also suggested the photographer that we wound up using, as well, so overall, I recommend and approve of her aesthetic judgement. I even texted her at around 930pm the night before the wedding to ask if she could bring some petals for the floral girl in the am, which she did without fuss. Seems sweet and genuine, on top of being talented!

WOW!!! That was all I could say when I walked on site and saw the beautiful work that Yelena had done. The flowers were all so stunning and exactly what we wanted. She took our ideas and colour palette and turned them into something we could only have dreamt of. Such a talented florist and very easy to work with!

Everything with Elegant Designs and Yelena went so smooth and the flowers turned out gorgeous! Yelena did our ceremony flowers, bouquets, boutonnieres, and of course, our reception centerpieces.

My husband and I had narrowed down our florists to Elegant Designs based only on reviews since we're from out of town. Once we met her, we had no reason to look elsewhere. From the start, Yelena was accommodating (we were on a budget) and patient with my indecisiveness. She was prompt with her emails and offered great suggestions. On the day, I knew I didn't need to worry about the flowers - Yelena was early and even gave us free petals for the reception tables.

Yelena and Elegant Designs were wonderful to work with - you won't go wrong in selecting them!

Yelena at Elegant Designs is truly amazing. She is an artist; her floral work is breathtaking! Beyond that, she is a kind, creative, and professional vendor who feels more like a friend. She was easy to work with and was very timely with her correspondence. When our guest count changed, causing the workload to change, she adapted our contract with ease. Most importantly, she and her team worked TIRELESSLY to place our flowers how I requested them (outside) in an unexpected windstorm. Most people would have said, "I'm sorry, it's too windy and we just can't do it." Instead, they were out there, freezing, balancing on a ladder, making it happen for me. I am so grateful! I can say with complete certainty that choosing Yelena as your florist will be the best decision you can make!

Yelena was amazing to work with and such a sweet person in addition! She listened to all of our random ideas and pictures that we provided her with and transformed that into something incredibly beautiful. She went above and beyond with our not so traditional ceremony backdrop. She was also so creative with the floral arrangements for the tables as well as the bouquets. My mother and I greatly enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone.

Yelena was a dream to work with. All I did was bring a few photos of arrangements that I liked to our first meeting and she took those inspiration photos and ran with it. The flowers the she put together for our wedding were stunning. Just what I wanted. Everything that she used was in season and she worked easily within our budget. There were a few additions at the last minute and she accommodated all of those changes easily. I cannot say enough good things about Elegant Designs. Save yourself time shopping around and go with this florist. You will be happy you did.

I cannot say enough good things about Yelena and Elegant Design Florists. She took my vision and made it into a dream come true. She brought the flowers I needed the day of the wedding for pictures to my hotel and brought the rest to the venue. Since I was not at the venue, I did not see the ceremony set up until I arrived right before the wedding and I was blown away. It was one of the most beautiful ceremony set ups I had ever seen!! She truly went above and beyond to make it perfect and did I mention my bouquet. Bright fresh red roses that were just the perfect amount bloomed to make the most beautiful bouquet. My bridesmaids bouquets were just as perfect and the centerpieces for the reception tables were beautiful. Like I said, I cannot say enough good things. Amazing, beautiful and affordable. Yelena has it all for your wedding.

If you are looking for a florist, end your search here....Elegant Designs is who you should hire!!! Yelena is the most wonderful person to work with and her talent for floral arranging is beyond words. She was so amazing and had so many creative ideas which really helped us decide how we wanted our wedding to look. It was also nice to know that when we hired Elelgant Designs for our wedding, we knew it would be Yelena who was arranging the flowers (as opposed to other local "commercial" non personal stores). The day of our wedding Yelena showed up w/ all of the flowers and they looked ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I have found my florist for life :) Thanks Yelena!!! - Kim & Jim

Yelena at Elegant designs iis AMAZING! We couldn't have been happier that we chose her as our florist for our October 2012 Wedding. She was able to visualize and capture my ideas and add a uniqueness with her creative touch. She was fun and vibrant to work with, as well as flexible. Yelena's love of her work really shows in each of her designs.

I changed my mind on the number of arrangements quite a few times in the process, yet she was willing to accomedate my all of my back and forth requests. While her pictures online are beautiful, they really don't do her work justice. Our flowers were fresh, beautifully arranged and the colors were absolutely perfect. Her services are very reasonably priced and she does beautiful work. she made me feel right at ease and confident that she would make it beautiful. She made everything look so wonderful and she went above and beyond what I even expected!

I loved all of my wedding flowers. She truly made our day spectacular. People are STILL talking about the flowers at our wedding ceremony and reception. Thank you Yelena...we love you.

I spoke with them a few months before the wedding about what I was looking for. They were so helpful in matching flowers with my taste, look and budget. When I picked up the flowers on the day of the wedding, I felt so welcome there and I was so pleased on how well my bouquet turned out -- it was beautiful!! Thank you so much!!
