Beautiful arrangements, lots of options, fair prices

I worked with Melanie! She was patient with me, my vision for what I wanted was all over the place. She advised me on some choices and delivery on the wedding day was seamless (at least to my knowledge, so that's a good sign!!)

Most beautiful wedding flowers ever

Melanie at Connells Maple Lee did the flowers for my daughter's wedding and they were absolutely stunning. Most guests said they were the most beautiful flowers they had ever seen at a wedding. Melanie was flexible and professional and allowed us to find our own vases then filled them with the most gorgeous mix of flowers that we had ever seen. From the ceremony arch, to the centerpieces, bouquets and arrangements, it was all stunning! Highly, highly recommend CML for a wedding. Cannot say enough wonderful comments!

wonderful!

They did an amazing job on our floral arrangements and bouquets! I knew nothing about flowers, but Jill did an amazing job of showing us all of the options and recommending accent flowers to help make our main choices pop more!

Beautiful Bouquets

My Bouquet was GORGEOUS. It was delivered on time to our ceremony. And everything was marked and they included an extra boutonniere. And they handled delivery of the cake flowers to the baker which was one less thing I had to do. The bouquets were wrapped in ribbon that were our wedding colors. We creamy white English roses with a variety of Eucalyptus. The bridesmaids had simple baby's breath with Eucalyptus. The men had English roses with Eucalyptus and the boys had baby's breath and Eucalyptus. 1 bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 7 boutonnieres and they included and extra free of charge. Highly recommend. I'd use them again.

I had a difficult time finding a florist who was able to give me exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I went to one florist who told me I simply could not have blue flowers because they don't exist. I knew it was a perfect fit when I met with Melanie from Connells' Maple Lee. Melanie spent hours with me putting together centerpieces and bouquets so that I could see my vision come to life. Throughout the process the communication was outstanding. On my wedding day, I was left speechless when I saw the bouquets and centerpieces. My expectations were completely exceeded and I was able to have the flowers of my dreams for my wedding day. Connell's was much more affordable than other vendors in the area and the quality can not be beat. I would 100% recommend them!!

Jill made my wedding so beautiful! I'm so happy with the flowers I had. She was so helpful and so patient during the countless long meetings and drop-ins with her. I had no idea what I wanted, I just knew I wanted certain colors and the flowers she picked for me were so perfect! Thank you so much for making my wedding unbelievable! She is the best, I highly recommend her!

Jill is absolutely AMAZING! Jill is an expert at what she does and she makes sure her brides get exactly what they envision for their wedding day! We met with Jill periodically throughout our planning experience! She even wanted us to come in the night before our wedding to see all of our floral arrangements to make sure they were exactly what we wanted! Jill even gave special attention to all of our small little details as well! All of our floral arrangements were absolutely perfect and I can't possibly thank Jill enough for making our wedding ceremony and reception look more perfect than I envisioned!

I worked with Jill for all my wedding flowers and I had a fantastic experience! Jill was extremely responsive and flexible. I sent her a picture I found online of what I wanted my bouquet to look like and they made the exact same bouquet for me - wrap and all. Then when I met with Jill to go over all the rest of the flowers (bridesmaids bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres) she had a ton of great suggestions to compliment my bouquet design and brought out the flowers she was suggesting so I could see them. The flowers turned out amazing on the day of my wedding and they were so fresh that they lasted for over a whole week after. Also, she included an extra groomsmen boutonniere (which we needed!) and a toss bouquet for free. I would highly recommend Connells Maple Lee!

Connells Maple Lee flowers were amazing! We worked with Jill for my daughter's wedding and knew we were in good hands from the moment I spoke to her on the phone. Both my daughter and I are not from Columbus and Jill was very flexible in talking to us over the phone/via email and meeting over a weekend when my daughter was in town. We sent a picture of the floral wedding invitation and asked to match it. She did a great job providing creative and unique bouquets, centerpieces, and boutonnieres. She did some research and sent names of what would be in season to look like the graphics.

They also decorated Franklin Park Bride's garden space for us with greens. Jill was very flexible in scheduling as she coordinated with the venue, bakery, and photographer. They arrived early for set up and returned at the end of the evening to pick everything up and transport to the hotel where we had Brunch the next morning. Guests and the other wedding professionals all commented on how lovely the flowers were and the photos really capture the beauty.

I researched florists and was looking for something colorful in their photos (not all white or all roses). I called four florists including another florist, a farm, and a "wedding stylist". I chose CML because I had immediate confidence in Jill. And as a bonus, the price was very reasonable. Also, the farm never responded to my emails or calls. The wedding floral stylist place was a joke, their prices would have been twice what we paid and they would only talk to out of towners on Tuesday night booked two weeks in advance.

I was worried a "chain" florist wouldn't offer the best deal, but I am so happy with the cost of our flowers. We didn't need a lot of flowers beyond the bouquets but what we did need, Connells surpassed expectations and accommodated all our needs.
