The best in the business! Book now!

Our gratitude for Graham Stanton's planning, organization and execution of our dream wedding is endless. They made our visions a reality! Throughout the planning process they helped us think about the important details of how we wanted our guests to feel, kept us honest about our budget, and provided prompt solutions when we hit natural planning roadblocks. They really made the planning process easy through their well-respected reputation in the industry and it's clear that other vendors adore Robin, Chelsea and the whole GS team. When it came to the organization, the GS team made sure we came into our wedding weekend feeling confident and we really had no worries knowing and trusting that GS had everything covered. As for the execution, all we can say is WOW. GS provided all our floral and we are still receiving compliments on the beauty of their craft. They really are in a lane of their own when it comes to floral installations. We were fortunate the be married underneath one of their infamous "flower clouds". When we first saw our ceremony space we were speechless at the beautiful artistry that the GS team crafted. We are still receiving compliments from guest saying it was the most beautiful wedding they had attended and this is all thanks to Graham Stanton Co. The only thing more beautiful that the work and events the GS team produces are the people behind the work. Robin and Chelsea are incredible people who work hard, put their clients needs first, and make people's visions come to reality. Plus, they are just fun to be around! People that you know as day of coordinators will manage things as they come up and without you having to even worry about it! In addition, their day of team was incredible, thoughtful, and selfless people who made our special day the wedding day we dreamed off! Thank you to the whole GS team -- we cannot recommend them enough!

An incredible vendor experience and great team

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Chelsea and Robin of Graham Stanton this past year for a client's wedding in Chicago, which they graciously and enthusiastically travelled to from their home base in Detroit despite the added logistics and planning. When our bride showed me some inspiration photos she was hoping to launch from for her wedding, I immediately recommended Chelsea and Robin and hoped they were available. Thankfully, they were and went above and beyond to take the ideas and vision our client had presented, and deliver something completely unique that was a reflection of their skill sets and also their ability to listen to a client's wishes and interpret how they want to bring a floral presence into their wedding day. Chelsea and Robin are a perfect example of a sort of 'reverse mullet' business. They are exciting and fun, funny and exuberant, cheerful and warm in the front and have these robust, creative, personalities that you can't help but love. And yet in the back, behind the green door they have a very tight business that is professional, organized, efficient, and able to execute a contract exactly as planned. It's a super hard balance and yet they have perfected it. They were able to balance the creative energy of the design goals with the challenges of working within the constraints of a new venue, and along the way made the planning process very easy with a collaborative spirit, oftentimes giving me a boost of support because from their wedding planning experience I knew they understood how important it was to make multiple parties happy - clients, fellow vendors, family members, and venue managers. As an added memorable moment, they took the time on their busy set up day to drive over to the bride's hotel and deliver a floral arrangement to her, something to get her excited about what was to come, and to take home after the wedding weekend was over. This thoughtful gesture made a huge impression on her! She ended up loving everything, from the unique ceremony set up to her bouquet, to the guest tables which truly were maddening to tear down at the end of the night because they were so beautiful. As a wedding planner, fellow creative, and advocate for a client experience that will leave you so happy and fulfilled - I can't recommend these gals and the investment in their services enough.

THE Dream Team

Chelsea and Robin are the real deal. These women worked their butt of and ran with the punches 2020 threw at them and their couples. Who knew what was to come when meeting them in 2019 while planning our 2020 wedding. Because of the pandemic we had to significantly alter our original design plan and the ladies made it happen. We went from a larger scale install to a stunningly gorgeous smaller scale. It was everything I never knew I wanted. Then we did it again in 2021 with a breathtaking reception installation. These women made miracles happen for us two years in a row. Not only did their work blow us away, but their complete understanding and empathy with having to rework our original wedding concept and budget was overwhelming. They listened and offered advice on how to navigate the new plan and also understand budget restraints. More than once did these ladies make me feel okay about the changes and almost more excited to the new plan of action. Not only did I fall in love with their work, I fell in love with them as human beings too. I will always be grateful for the love and compassion they showed me during our planning, replanning and doing it all over again. HIRE. THESE. WOMEN.

Best florists and coordinators!

We hired Graham Stanton initially as our florists and then as our day-of-coordinators. I had a lot of different rental pieces, things I was bringing, and an unusual layout and vision, so we wanted coordinators with similar tastes and a strong eye for design. Robin and Chelsea nailed it!

First, the florals were so unique and bright. In all of our photos, the flowers truly pop out (in a good way). I wanted something that felt autumnal, a little retro, and would complement the blue venue chairs. They were perfect. One guest messaged me after and specifically commented on how beautiful the flowers were and that she "had never seen colors like that." They also built a really incredible greenery arch for the ceremony backdrop that looked modern, wild, and beautiful. And finally, the centerpieces were varied and gorgeous.

Second, as coordinators, they were fantastic. I didn't have to think about anything except getting ready on the big day. Robin communicated with us regularly the month of the wedding to work out all of the details and let us know any gaps or questions that we hadn't thought of. She also got in touch with all of the vendors in advance so on the day of the wedding, it all went smoothly (or if it didn't, we had no idea!). It was awesome to be able to walk into the space and see that my vision had come to life even better than I had imagined it.

Finally, Robin and Chelsea are just wonderful, fun people to work with, which made planning more fun.

If you want unique, modern, incredible florals and a beautiful, smooth wedding day, I highly recommend hiring Graham Stanton. They were absolutely fantastic!

Chelsea & Robin are a dream team!

Working with Graham Stanton was an absolute dream! Chelsea and Robin not only delivered the most beautiful florals, they were superstar vendors that made every step of the process easy and stress free. We couldn't have been more in love with how our bouquet and boutonniere turned out, and every single guest was absolutely enamored with the floral arch at the ceremony. Chelsea and Robin took our general vision for the day and created a perfectly executed design more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. When we had to shift gears due to COVID-19, they rolled with all of the changes without batting an eye. We are so grateful for their flexibility, professionalism, and artistic prowess and would recommend them time and time again! [Photo credit: Justine Castle Photography]

Robin is amazing!!

My husband and I got married this August. I contacted Robin in the beginning of the year asking her If she was available to do our wedding florals and day of coordinating. Lucky for us she said yes! The first time we met in person to talk about our vision, I knew we had come to the right person. Everything she said (wedding related or not) really clicked with us. Her boss babe personality gave us the confidence that she could get anything done, and that’s exactly what she did when it came to our big day! On top of the flowers being more beautiful than I could have imagined, she made everything run so smoothly! I couldn’t believe it. There were many times during the day/night that she came up and asked how my husband and I were doing and if we needed anything. Her and her team were very professional and got everything set up and torn down within our time constraints. Our venue looked exactly how we envisioned it, maybe even better! We could not have asked for a more perfect day, and Robin is to thank for that!!

Original and Classy

Robin was a delight to work with and very easy to talk to. I loved that she encouraged the untraditional and didn’t add any extra pressure to making decisions on what I wanted. The flowers themselves were beautiful, she matched the color palette perfectly and the pictures were tens times more amazing. If you are looking for something original but still classy this is the company for you!

Flower goddess and chill AF coordinator

There are so many reasons I recommend Robin for your floral and wedding coordination/planning needs, but here are the mains:
- She didn't bat a single eye when we asked her to take on the florals AND coordination for our destination wedding, which might I add, was also a destination for her.
- She and her new business partner drove the 5+ hours up to Northern Michigan just to familiarize themselves with the venue before the day-of.
- She was receptive and flexible with our budget, and helped us find ways to get the most bang for our buck.
- After just one conversation about our vision for florals, she ran with our ideas and absolutely blew it OUT OF THIS WORLD.
- I was definitely a nightmare with all of my DIY shit, but she never made me feel that way and executed every detail perfectly.
- Throughout the chaos of planning a wedding, and on the actual wedding day, Robin was chill AF. Which in turn, made me feel chill AF. Which, if you need ANYTHING on your wedding day, it's someone who makes you feel like they've got shit covered.
- Last but not least, she's just a lovely, creative, calm force who knows what she's doing, so quit wasting your life reading every review for every single vendor in the area and just hire her. You will not regret.
