You Won’t Regret Working with Mrs. Ernest!!

I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Ernest and the true gift she has for turning a bride’s vision into her dream day! Mrs. Ernest planned my November wedding and did everything from the florals to helping MC the reception. I had my wedding in Columbus, GA but I live out of state. Mrs. Ernest was instrumental in helping plan the wedding from so far away — she seems to know everyone in town and all of my vendors talked about how much they love working with her too. She was so willing to work with my and my husbands schedule, which was quite chaotic and unpredictable me in the months leading up to the wedding. Not only is she incredibly professional Al and attentive, she’s also such a kind person who obviously cares just as much about your special day as you do. I’d highly recommend hiring Mrs. Ernest to help you plan your wedding day or really any special event you want to remember for a lifetime!

The best with zero stress

Mrs Annette Ernest is just what you need for your wedding.

I trusted her from day one but was blown away by the results during the reveal on my wedding day.

She is super organized, exceptionally experienced in all things WEDDING. She even goes above and beyond during those high stress bridal moments. She was ALWAYS there to help ensure that my checklist was completed re vendors etc.

I had to worry about zero issues on my wedding day, everything was down matching my vision and even came out better.

I will ALWAYS RECOMMEND HER!!! The last thing you need on your special day is worrying that something is missing, will the decor be right, timeline etc. I booked her for floral services, event decoration, day of coordinator and even the MC .

When you have a PASSION for what you do …it shows. She is beyond AMAZING and will continue to leave positive experiences for many couples.

Thoughtful, attentive, and easy

Annette is amazing. She was calming, she took care of things before we knew there was a problem, she supported the bride's vison, and she was just the most amazing Florist. Incredible experience and worth every cent.

Excellent and worry free experience

Annette was very inviting and attentive to our needs as a couple. While preparing for our wedding we had to relocate out of state which caused us some worry due to us not being there physically but between emails, conference calls, and facetime calls she pulled off our wedding with no problems.

Daughter's wedding

Annette and Tim were terrific! We had a short time frame and a limited budget and they were able to get everything we wanted and more. Everything was wonderful. The venue was gorgeous and the food was great. Annette did a stellar job arranging everything, especially the floral arrangements. She was always available to text or talk to if we had any questions or concerns. They gave my daughter and her husband some wonderful memories. I would definitely recommend them.

Mrs. Annette was awesome! I had no idea how to plan a wedding and I am also located out of town. She told me no problem and made it happen. She got all the vendors I needed to contact me and made everything a breeze. I could literally call her at 11pm at night and she would answer. The only thing I knew I wanted for my wedding was the colors, and she took that and made the most beautiful wedding I have seen. I must say that I am very pleased with the quality of her work and I have already started recommending her to others!
