    Sullivan brought so much beauty to our wedding day!

    It is so difficult to put this review into words because I am still (months later!) completely overwhelmed by the beauty of Sullivan's art. In my thank you note to her, I wrote that the only regret I had was that her florals couldn't stay in the Philadelphia Museum of Art always—because they truly belong there alongside the Monets and Van Goghs. Simply put, she is a genius and artist of the highest caliber. Her designs reflect all the wild beauty of nature, transformed for an evening into an exquisite bouquet, an elegent centerpiece, a sprawling urn arrangement.

    Beyond this, it is such a privilege and delight to work with her. During our first phone call, she somehow articulated the exact aesthetic I had in mind before I had even spoken the words—she is that perceptive! I was as blown away then as I am now. Her ideas, drawn from our discussions of the art in the venue space, became the linchpin of our wedding planning—from the bridesmaid dress colors to the stationary to even the signature cocktails. (We just wanted everything to complement her work!) 

    She also managed to navigate the limitations placed on florals and design pieces to protect the art at our venue so gracefully—taking everything in stride even when construction plans moved up in the reception space. She took what others would consider an impediment as an opportunity to introduce more creativity to the space. I could go on forever about everything I loved on the day—whether the tear-inducing beauty of the bouquet, the amazing still-lifes she created for the head table and centerpieces, or the precious florals for the flower girls—but needless to say, Sullivan is in a league of her own and having her on your team is the best decision you could make for your wedding.

    Sullivan is a floral goddess. I don't know what more to say. Her work is amazing but when I saw the reception space for the first time, it was more amazing than I could have imagined. Her work is truly art.

    If you want standard wedding flowers, where flowers are bunched together into a pom pom, Sullivan probably isn't for you. Her work is relaxed but but polished like a gorgeous old still life painting. Guests commented how amazed they were by the flowers and how every table was different. She is very easy to work with, and although pricy, it was worth every penny and by far my favorite decorative element.

    Wow! Sullivan is a remarkable artist. My florals for my wedding at the Horticultural Center were unbelievable and gorgeous! She did beautiful floral chandeliers and most beautiful cascading bridal bouquet ever! It was totally worth the nice arm workout I got, because it was so beautiful! Sullivan worked with us to provide the look we were going for the money were spending. She understood our budget, and really worked with us to provide what would make the most impact for the event. Whether it would be adding another floral chandelier or putting more florals on the chuppah. I was so happy and floored with how everything turned out. When you hire Sullivan just know that you will totally blown away with what she comes up with. So gorgeous, and I can't thank her enough for all the beauty and ambiance that made my wedding so memorable! Thank you Sullivan!!!

    We loved working with Sullivan! Her talent and professionalism are really unparalleled! I had seen lots of Sullivan's work prior to our first meeting and loved it all. As is quickly apparent, Sullivan has a definite point of view and distinct style. That said, when we first met, she was all about figuring out what the style of our wedding would be, and how her vibe could be shaped into what we wanted. The result was absolute perfection! Not only did Sullivan provide guidance on florals, but she also helped talk us through how the florals would work with the venue space, the time of year, and the lighting to create the overall ambiance that we were aiming for. Setting aside her crazy talent for a minute, Sullivan is also a consummate professional. Shortly before our wedding, we realized that we needed to make some changes to the mandap (stage area) for our Hindu ceremony, which would require carpeting, lighting, and additional florals. Sullivan calmly coordinated with our wedding planner and the other vendors to make the last minute changes in a way that kept our stress levels low, synced with the rest of our wedding, and made everyone (from us to the priest to our parents) happy. Sullivan also made our garlands for the Hindu ceremony, and they were absolutely stunning. In addition to all of the above, Sullivan is funny, collected, organized, and warm. It was a true pleasure working with her!

    Sullivan did the flowers for my Kimmel Center wedding last month and they were amazing. Her work is so unique - not just your standard round white bouquet. I instantly feel in love with all of her ideas. She created such a beautiful look for our big day. And above and beyond that she is a pleasure to work with. She was so nice, considerate and alot of fun to brainstorm with. She even made some amazing vendor recommendations - helping me find a wedding planner and stationary team that would work well with my style and personality.

    Sullivan Owen provided the flowers for my daughter's wedding. I do a lot of events, and sometimes the flowers don't get noticed...but we received so many compliments on the flowers. They were so unusual and really gorgeous. We also made a last minute change to add more flowers at the church, and Sullivan took care of everything. She was very flexible. I would definitely recommend her for any event. Outstanding!

    Sullivan is amazing, I loved working with her. She turned all of my wedding vision dreams into reality. I'm so lucky my maid of honor found her. Sullivan is top notch and a true artist . The flowers for your wedding are probably one of the most important aspects of your look and decor. Flowers change everything especially Sulllivan's unique designs. I wish she was my local florist.

    The chupah was exception, and we loved every thing about the work that Sullivan's team did. No wonder they have won "best of" from so many organizations and media outlets!

    Sullivan did beautiful arrangements for the bouquets and centerpieces. I gave her a few photos with the colors and she did exactly what I was looking for. She was great to work with and definitely recommend for someone who likes something a little more creative than your typical florist. Her work is always beautiful!

    Sullivan Owen was truly my saving grace for flowers for my wedding! Her work is out of this world. I got married at Holly Hedge and initially picked a florist that couldn't accommodate my needs. After realizing this, I met with Sullivan Owen. She was warm, inviting, and truly understood what I wanted. I knew I had to go with her! I made the switch, and honestly - it was the best thing I have ever done. Flowers were super important to me, and Sullivan and her crew really wow'ed me on my wedding day!
    I remember giving Sullivan ideas of what I wanted, and she made my dreams a reality. Sullivan does amazing work with colors, textures, and flowers that you wouldnt see everyday. I cant stop bragging about my flowers and how cool and different they were...(I didnt even want to put down my bouquet during the day of the wedding)
    She was amazing to work with, a truly talented florist, couldnt ask for anything more!

    Sullivan is awesome!! She is very helpful and creative in making flowers that fit your vision and trying to work within your budget. I got my personal flowers done by her and thought they were breathtaking. I got a lot of compliments on them too. They are very responsive, I completely recommend her business.

    Sullivan was amazing! I gave her a few inspiration photos and pictures of my dress and invitation and full rein of what to do for our wedding. She came through with a beautiful and unique bouquet, gorgeous centerpieces and also found the cutest mini succulents to be the escort card holders. I trusted her completely from the first time I met her and could not have been happier with the results. She delivered my bouquet to me at my hotel suite in person. Sullivan also provided a beautiful wood huppah. She respected my budget and was very accommodating as we finalized our numbers and made a few changes. HIGHLY recommended!

    i used Sullivan Owen for my wedding in september 2010 and i couldn't have been happier. Sullivan was full of wonderful and unique ideas for decor, and came up with a flower and decor plan that fit perfectly into my budget.
    i received so many compliments on the flowers and decor and that is all a testament to the work and attention to detail of Sullivan!
    the bouquets were perfect and she created a beautiful arch for our ceremony.
    Sullivan went above and beyond and is highly recommended!!

    We used Sullivan Owen for our wedding on October 20th 2012. We had them provide several bouquets, boutonnieres for the men, cake flowers, and bud vases with an assortment of flowers. We had requested fall colors with blue accents and provided images of flowers that we thought looked nice. They took our suggestions and requests and ran with it.

    Picking up the flowers was painless and easy. We got to the flower shop and everything was perfect and ready to go. Everything was safely and tightly packaged so there was no shifting in the hour and a half long drive to the venue.

    Everything came out better than we had pictured in our heads, and all day long we kept hearing how incredible the flowers looked. I would highly recommend using Sullivan Owen if you're looking at vendors and live in/near the Philadelphia and South Jersey area.

    Sullivan and her team were amazing to work with - we wanted some very unique and personal details at our wedding, and they embraced our ideas and made them all happen! Sullivan also went out of her way to help us with non-flower details. Our wedding looked totally "us" and original and Sullivan and her team worked so hard straight through the day of the event. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sullivan Owen Designs - working with them was a pleasure!
