Nikki at Beautiful By Nature is a creative visionary! My wife and I gave her the theme for our Wedding Renewal and immediately she started to produce ideas for us. Shortly after our first meeting she gave us an idea for centerpieces that became the foundation of our design scheme. Through open communication she kept us informed about her progress and decisions we needed to make so that we stayed on track. We did not shackle her with cost or demands; instead, we let her use her expertise to provide us with designs she felt would work best. On the day of our event, we were so moved with the arrangements because they exceeded our expectations and were very cost effective. With Nikki on our Team our event became extra special for us and we can’t wait to work with her again!

The flowers, boquets, and arbor looked great. The flowers added to the wedding cake were a nice touch.

Joan was amazing. She did an arch floral arrangement for our peacock/1920s theme wedding which turn out to be Fabs. She went well beyond the call of duty, the bouquet with the peacocks and crystals were amazing. She bling-ed it out for us! I got so many compliments from guests on how beautiful I looked coming down the aisle with my bouquet. Everything was perfect!! Thank you Joan from Mr and Mrs Norris Douglas, July 25, 2015.

All I really wanted was a romantic wedding...I heard Joan, from Beautiful by Nature was the one to see. Let me tell you, I did a ton of research and Joan is on point for quality and price. I don't usually write reviews, but, I really wanted to share my love of my centerpieces and all the special details I received from them (I loved the sparkles they can add to a piece- literally). #wedding musthave!

Where do I begin....Joan is amazing! My fiance and I met her at her suite and right off the bat it was if she knew us for a long time. She enjoys her work and you can tell through her creations. She was always calling me to give me suggestions and very open to what I wanted and such a sweetheart. I honestly gave her a little bit of input and had the most trust in her to just work her magic. On the day of, as I walked into the reception room.... I was just completely in awe! It was everything I wanted and much more! I highly recommend her services, you will not be disappointed!

Joan was absolutely amazing to work with! She made our wedding absolutely stunning with her beautiful arrangements! She loves what she does and you can see it in her work! She goes above and beyond for her brides and I can't thank her enough! She is my florist for life!! A++ florist!

Joan is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She went so far above and beyond what we expected. We had flowers EVERYWHERE. What a blessing to have such an amazing artist. She hadnled all of our decorations, inside & out. I was so happy to not have to worry about anything. Our wedding party and guests all raved about how beautiful everything turned out. Joan made it very easy to have a stress free day!!

Joan did an amazing job for our wedding. When I saw my room, I could not believe how pretty it looked, it really looked like something I only saw in the bridal magazines. In addition to her skill and creativeness, Joan has a wonderful personality and was so pleasant to work with.

When my fiance and I started looking for a florist for our wedding on March 31st, we had a long list of vendors that was given to us by our venue, Arden Hills. We wanted to do most of our flowers on our own,since our flower budget was not very big, but I still wanted to have nice bouquets for me and my bridesmaids as well as an arrangement for the ceremony. My fiance took his assignment to find out florist very seriously and he has called and talked to every single florist off of the list. Finally, he decided that we should go with Joan, even though there was another florist who gave us a similar quote. When I asked him why, he said that he really liked her attitude and that he feels better giving business to her. I think that was one of the best decisions he made (other then proposing to me).

I explained Joan what I wanted for my bouquets and the arrangement, and we also got 2 boutonnieres and flower petals for the aisle and tables. She listened to everything I said, made notes of everything, and sent me a detailed quote that also contained everything we discussed. She did all this within a couple of hours of our first contact. I thought that was very professional, and nice of her.

The day before the wedding, my parents were getting ready to pick flowers to make the centerpieces for our tables, I got a call from Joan, asking about whether I wanted my centerpieces to have red accents. I was really confused and explained to her that we didn't pay for that, but she told me that was her gift to us, and that she is doing them all for free. I couldn't believe that anybody would do that for me. I was very grateful, but to be honest I was expecting that she will do just the most basic thing for the centerpieces since it was free. I couldn't not have been more wrong. On my wedding day, while I was getting ready, I sneaked into our reception room just to see how everything looks like, and Joan was there, with huge bags of petals, putting them everywhere. She was just running around, cheerful, excited, She even made us a heart made of petals on our gift table! And the centerpieces were just amazing. Some of them were elevated on stands, some were not, the whole design looked so elegant, classy and creative. On my bouquet, she even put a rhinestone thingy (I don't know what those are called) to match my jewelry.

So many of our guests commented how beautiful our flowers were, and we could not have been happier with her and her work. If I could give her 10 stars I would.
Joan enjoys what she does so much, and that shows in her work, and makes all the difference. She is an artist, but also very professional, and on top of things. Thank you Joan, so much!!! You made our wedding day perfect!!!

I really enjoyed working with Joan! She made the planning process very easy. She was very easy to get ahold of and dealt with my changes (there were quite a few) with ease. On the day of the wedding she arrived early and made sure I was happy with everything! Because we were having the ceremony in the same room as the reception, she stayed through our ceremony and helped the venue's staff with the room change to ensure that all of our flowers were perfect. Joan completely spoiled me as bride bringing me extras on the day of and making sure I was content. And nobody could beat her prices!!

I would recommend Joan to all brides! She will work closely with you to make sure you enjoy your special day!

I wish I could give Joan 10 stars instead of just 5. She was absolutely amazing through the entire planning process! She has the best prices that I have seen anywhere, and also provides the best work I have seen. I was absolutely blown away when I saw my bouquet and all the flower work that she did. She went above and beyond with everything that she did. Everything was so gorgeous, way better than I have ever imagined.
She was always easy to get in contact with, very sweet and helpful.
When I discussed my budget concerns with her, she did everything in her power to give me the most beautiful wedding flowers, without breaking the bank.
All of the arrangements were so beautifully and intricately put together!

I absolutely recommend Joan for any florals that you will ever need! I am definitely looking forward to using her in the future.
