Blown away by the GORGEOUS floral arrangements!

I was absolutely blown away by the GORGEOUS floral arrangements at my wedding, thanks to the incredible talent of Cress Floral Decorators. The attention to detail was unparalleled, and Lori’s creativity truly transformed the venue to be amazing. Their professionalism, dedication, and ability to bring my vision to life exceeded all expectations and most importantly they made us feel like we were family from our first visit. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning flowers, and I am forever grateful to them for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Cress florals is just absolutely the best!

Lori and her team from Cress Florals are a dream come true!! Lori herself is so sweet and understanding and beyond patient. She really cares about her clients, listening to all the different opinions and personalities and just is so gracious. She really wants everyone to feel at home when they come to visit her and building relationships is just so natural. I told Lori over the phone what I had in mind and sent some inspo pics, my mom came in who is as picky as ever, Lori came out with our sample center piece and in one shot, she nailed it. We all were in awe!! From all my center pieces, the royal staircase, my incredible lucite chuppah with floating orchids, my bouquet, the girls bouquet, flower girl crowns, boutineers, the escort card arrangement, cocktail hour, Lori just absolutely exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happpier with the outcome day of!
