I cannot give enough praise to Heather and Design Botanica for my most amazing flowers that were created for my wedding day. Heather is truly talented at taking big picture ideas and creating a master piece that is breathtakingly beautiful! I must say, I am not the best with knowing my flowers or the types of flowers I wanted. However, I sent Heather various pictures of the colors I was looking for and told her I asked for a lot of bright green with accents of my wine color and I wanted green berries and lots of curly willow. With that little guidance, Heather hit the nail on the head with my bouquets and boutonnieres - they were amazing and my bridal bouquet was spectacular. She added accents of pinks to the flowers and it was perfect. We didn't do any flowers at the church besides the bridal party ones.
For the reception, I wanted to have a wine theme which had rustic look, but elegant. We had a few ideas of incorporating tree stumps to hold wine bottles and we used wine boxes as centerpieces. I provided her the wine boxes (which I got from Binny's Liquor Warehouse), and she provided the tree stumps and other rustic elements, such as lanturns, urns, etc... At the reception though, the large centerpieces she used for the gift table, buffet tables, and the table we had the namecards at were amazing - She incoprorated wine corks into the centerpeices and they were tall and beautiful. Throughout the entire night, I didn't stop getting compliments about how beautiful the flowers were. They really made a statement and really brought that rustic elegant feel to my wedding I was looking for. I loved them.

Heather herself is very easy to work with - but I would say she is so incredibly talented that it was really nice to be able to relax and let her just take the lead. She did my sister-in-laws wedding so I knew she would do a fabulous job. She was also very affordable - she doesn't do a lot of wedding volume a year so she was able to really put her energy and creativity into my wedding.
Overall, any future bride would be lucky to work with her - she did an A++ job at my wedding and she made my pictures wonderful!
