Exceptional!

Madison and her team did our florals for our wedding on 3.19.2022 at the Lace House in Columbia, SC. Not only were the florals stunning but with little direction other than color, Madison made my vision come to life! The whole experience was great and I would highly recommend ByDesign for any upcoming wedding or event.

Stunning Florals!!!

WOW! Madison and her team did a phenomenal job on our wedding florals! I had a specific image in my head- lavender colors, greenery like sage and eucalyptus, but also blush, white, baby's breath, etc. I had so many different elements in mind, and Madison was able to bring it to life! She is so detail-oriented, organized, and has such a beautiful eye for design. She knew exactly what florals to use and her team did FANTASTIC job decorating the venue. We had a large vault that was surrounded by foliage and florals, and it was to die for!! The reception looked exactly how I wanted it- dreamy, whimsical, romantic, boho-chic, yet classic. She was so easy to work with, especially after having to postpone multiple times due to COVID-19. Thank you for helping us have such a stunning wedding!

Excellent service

Madison was just awesome to work with. We had a specific budget and only needed a few floral arrangements for our wedding at Millstone Adams Pond and her team delivered exactly what we were hoping for for our ceremony. The flowers were beautiful! Also, when i first called her I didn’t feel any pressure to get more, nor did she question anything. I highly recommend DesignbySC!

A most positive experience!!

Where do I begin trying to share how comfortable we were from the first time we stepped into By Design to meet with Madison Wagner for our special day! She listened intently, took detailed notes, and effectively captured our vision of a magical, outdoor evening wedding! In addition to her amazing vision, ideas, and floral skill set, Madison equally gave attention and respect to staying within our set budget! Madison also had thorough communication with both us and our vendors! When our vision and her planned layout were completed, we honestly walked away knowing we had absolutely no worries or need to follow up as we were in the best hands possible and could now enjoy other aspects of the wedding day! Our confidence in her was so high that our future family of in laws decided to use her as well for the rehearsal dinner! Both events beyond exceeded our expectations and were accompanied with a joyful heart and smile from this amazing young lady and her team! These are moments in life you will never forgot visually or mentally and having the type of confidence we were able to have in Madison and her By Design Team was invaluable! We can honestly say we wouldn't have changed one thing! The vision, detail, and commitment of this team are second to none! Denise and Madison have built a stellar team with the BEST attitudes and work ethic leaving you feeling both positive and assured of product, service, and price! We cannot recommend this family team enough and we have very high expectations!

Absolute BEST Florist and Coordinator in Columbia!

Madison and her team at By Design are beyond amazing! We took 16 months to plan my daughter's wedding and we knew as soon as we interviewed Madison that she was who we wanted to entrust my daughter's wedding dreams to. She took her ideas and finetuned them into a vision that we could only dream about and then to see it on wedding day come to life was simply amazing! Beyond beautiful!! We also hired Madison to Coordinate the wedding and she and her staff (Denise and Michelle) went above and beyond to make things as smooth as possible, even with the inevitable bumps and hiccups that always come up. They handled everything calmly and professionally so that I didn't even realize that we had any problems. They handled them before they came to me and that was amazing. I would give them 10 stars if I could! The absolute BEST for your dream wedding - Madison is more of a "friend" than a "vendor"! Thank you Madison and By Design!!!

Best Florist in the Carolinas!

Choosing Madison and her team at By Design was the best decision I made for my wedding day. My wedding florals were top priority for me and I had a very specific vision. I wish I could put into words what I felt when I arrived at the venue on my wedding day and saw all of Madison and By Design's work. They absolutely took my breath away. She 100% made my floral dreams come true. My bouquet was beyond anything I could have ever imagined!! Madison and her team are extremely professional. They were very patient with me when I changed my design for the third time and especially when I added something three weeks before the wedding. I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. I also hired her to do my day of coordinating and it was such a weight lifted off of my shoulders. She took care of every detail for me and I am forever grateful for her! She communicated with every vendor and made sure that everything went smoothly. I honestly cannot begin to scratch the surface regarding how happy I was with Madison and her team. They made my wedding vision come to life and I am still living on cloud nine. Choosing Madison and By Design will absolutely be the best decision you will make for your big day!

A florist you can trust!

By Design was the best choice we could have made for our wedding florist! From the moment of our first inquiry, Madison provided exceptional service and always made us feel so comfortable! My mother lives out of town and we appreciated Madison’s flexibility with meeting when my mom could come up for the visit. She always had great ideas to bring to the table and didn’t seem to mind my indecisiveness at times ;) haha! She helped create the perfect look that fit our budget, venue, and décor. We always had great communication and never once questioned our decision of going with them. After meeting with a couple florists, I decided to go with By Design because I felt like I could give them my inspiration and trust that they bring my own vision to life! We HIGHLY recommend working with Madison and the team at By Design!

Best florist ever

I was so excited when we came across Madison and her team. We got married in our hometown in Columbia, SC even though we were living in KY. Madison made it SUPER easy for me to just send pictures of things I wanted and adjust quotes as able. I had to have changed/added at least 30 things necessitating updates in my invoices and extra work for them and she did it quickly, professionally and happily! Our flowers turned out lovely and she was able to really make our vision a reality. I highly recommend By Design for any bride who wants a hard working florist who is able to make your dream a reality!

Exceptional Service and Value!

We booked Madison for my daughter's wedding. The wedding was being planned from Boston and Madison was so patient with our numerous changes and questions. The flowers were just beautiful and complimented the bridal party and venue perfectly. It was exactly what our daughter had envisioned. I highly recommend Madison for any occasion. She listened and created the perfect look. Thank you!!!!
