Lindsay M. Sent on 01/20/2020A Unbeatable Talent. BEAUTIFUL.
We are unbelievably blessed to have Shelly Johnson as our florist.
She was incredibly communicative, kind, and well-- TALENTED!
She turned the whole venue into a fairytale land. It was everything I could have dreamed of and more.
What I could not put into words, she put into designs. She took a few small ideas and RAN WITH IT.
I cannot say enough kind things.
Our wedding would not have the jaw-dropping impact it did without her.
Thank you so much to you Shelly and your team. -

Branden S. Sent on 11/20/2020She helped bring our vision to life!
Shelly was a fantastic vendor for our wedding in October 2020! She was so transparent about pricing, flower availability, and was willing to help us create beautiful flowers for our ceremony that fell within what we budgeted. She was also very willing to adapt to our change of plans due to the pandemic, and even helped to add on some last minute florals for our wedding cake which we forgot to request. My wife was thrilled with her bouquet, and we heard tons of compliments about how beautiful the floral arrangements were at the church. We can't wait to work with Shelly again for our future reception! -

*This comes from a critical someone who rarely, if ever, doles out 5-stars*:
Absolutely THE BEST wedding vendor I had the privilege of working with for our wedding! Shelly was amazing in every way, and I echo all of the comments left in the 5 star reviews prior to this posting. This speaks volumes to her consistency and reliability. From wonderful and timely to vision-capturing and detail-oriented, Shelly blew me away. I had so much confidence with her understanding of and confirming my visions at our first meeting that I didn’t feel the need to meet immediately prior to the wedding day/week (and that’s tough for a controlling perfectionist, but she made it easy for me to let go and trust). Her communications by phone and email were thorough and she never missed a beat. I cannot stress enough how amazing she was - and I hate writing but I’m so so inspired to share this review with the world. Don’t bother with interviewing several florists for price estimates, or for a variety of supplies and rentals, or whatever it is that is most important to you. Shelly is competitively priced, professional, has a huge selection and everything you could ever want, and continues to sharpen her education and stay relevant in the ever-changing wedding/floral industry. She is on point! Thank you ever so much, Shelly! -

Geena Sent on 08/26/2019Beautiful Flowers
We hired Shelly to do the flowers for our wedding on June 21, 2019. We asked for centerpieces, bridesmaids lanterns, a bridal bouquet, and boutineers. Shelly absolutely delivered, everything was amazing! Shelly really took the time to sit with us and discuss our vision for the day, she had ideas on types of flowers which was great because I know nothing about flowers. After our consultation and decision i changed my mind about a few things and Shelly was very flexible, even changing out invoice for some things that changed. She was very responsive and we were excited for the wedding.
The day of the wedding the flowers were delivered perfectly on time and when they came to the room I was blown away! I saw the beautiful bouquet filled with flowers and succulents and all the colors I asked for, accompanied by the bridesmaids lanterns which were overflowing with lush greenery and colorful flowers in hues of purple as I had requested. Everyone was floored with the execution that Shelly accomplished! If that wasn't enough, the guys boutonnieres were perfect and I couldn't have asked for prettier centerpieces at the reception!
Shelly was very flexible in the fact that I had purchased my own terrariums for the reception and i just wanted her to fill them with greenery and flowers, we dropped them off the week before the wedding and she delivered them all done perfectly to the reception space.
Overall I would 100% recommend Shelly to anyone, her work is fantastic!! -

Katie Sent on 01/04/2018I can't say enough about Shelly's work. I had high expectations from what I had seen of her arrangements and yet she still managed to exceed all of them! She was able to take my jumbled ideas and turn them into exactly what I wanted. Her attention to detail from the smallest boutonnière to the grandest church decoration was outstanding, and we got so many comments as to how stunning the flowers were. The florals at our ceremony and reception will always remain one of my favorite parts of our wedding day.

Gretchen Sent on 02/20/2017Shelly was very helpful in helping us decide which florals, greens and rentals would be the best for us. She recommended pretty much everything based off of 2-3 pictures I send her of things we liked, which of course made it very easy for us! As an out-of-state bride living in Arizona and getting married in Michigan, planning was an extra challenge. Shelly could not have done a better job of making our vision a reality. Our reception was beyond gorgeous, even better than we imagined. We got positive feedback all night long on how beautiful the bouquets and centerpieces were. Aside from the flowers and greenery we also rented assorted candles and branch candelabras that matched our theme perfectly. Her crew came in and set up and tore down everything flawlessly. Thank you so much Shelly, even though I never got a chance to meet you in person, you played a HUGE part in our perfect day and made everything that much more beautiful! -
User2634425 Sent on 06/05/2016Shelly went above and beyond for our wedding! She was very flexible with our limited availability to meet and last minute changes to our order. Shelly was also extremely responsive to emails and always took the time to answer our questions. We told her our budget, and our vision and she made it happen! It was like she pulled a picture out of my head and delivered it to me in a bouquet! Our flowers were so beautiful and we got so many compliments on them. I would highly recommend Shelly! -

Rachel Sent on 10/27/2015Shelly went above and beyond to make us happy. We requested some additional work done with the arch at Frederik Meijer and everything turned out perfectly. The reception flowers were BEAUTIFUL, exactly what we were looking for, as were the bouquets for the ceremony. Thanks so much Shelly!! -

I would highly recommend her. Shelly is great to work with and I cant wait to see what she will do for my wedding! I highly recommend her :)

Brittany Sent on 09/29/2014Shelly was a phenomenal, high-value florist, referred to us twice at other amazing weddings in the area. She works in a home studio to keep costs low. She also knows what is going to be in-season and will substitute for another flower that just won't work that time of year (peonies vs. garden roses).
Even if you have a good-sized budget, she'll still keep you aware of costs so that you are spending your money for what you really want. For example, we loved a bouquet she had featured on her website that had monkey tails. She likes monkey tails, too, but she also let us know they cost $8/pop! That adds up quickly and could eat up the budget that could go towards more sizable, high-impact blooms. We found other contemporary flowers to add for the "fun factor," and they turned out perfectly.
Shelly is up-to-date with technology. She keeps an active Pinterest page of her work (www.pinterest.com/shellysdesigns/) and you can easily share your Pinterest ideas with her. She takes diligent notes during your meetings to record exactly what was discussed so there are no misunderstandings, too. However, she's also really flexible! Our outdoor ceremony venue had lots of black-eyed Susans, and my mother called a few weeks before the wedding to see if we could incorporate them into the flower arrangements and bouquets -- no prob! We had a bike-themed wedding, and we found some cute beach cruiser bikes to display at our reception. They had big baskets, and my mother asked Shelly if she would add flowers to the baskets. Well, she didn't just add flowers -- they were overflowing and amazing arrangements, and the cost was extremely competitive.
My particular vision was for bright colors with lots of interesting textures. We decided on orange callas, roses, pincushion protea, red berries, yellow billy balls, hot pink garden roses, hot pink dahlias, black-eyed susans, succulents, and seeded eucalyptus. They held up very well. We planted the succulents in our garden in Texas! -
User1778603 Sent on 08/24/2014Shelly has a wonderful showroom and had exactly what I was looking for to go with my simple and elegant vintage wedding theme. She was very prompt whenever I emailed her, and she was very helpful to me when I moved out of town and was trying to coordinate everything from the other side of the state.
