Would definitely reccommend!

I absolutely loved my flowers! Kay and Emily did an absolutely beautiful job on all of our florals and decor. Kay was great to work with and was so nice meeting in person to talk through everything. Emily also did an amazing job as our day of coordinator! She made sure everything was seamless and all decorations and setups were perfect! Couldn't recommend more!

Incredible Florals for our wedding

We hired Designs by Ella Rae for our wedding at the War Memorial on June 28, 2025, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, Kay was a dream to work with—professional, responsive, and incredibly creative. She took our initial ideas and inspiration and somehow elevated them beyond what we even imagined.
We ordered bouquets, centerpieces, ceremony arch florals, aisle arrangements, and a few custom touches—and every piece was absolutely stunning. The flowers were fresh, artfully arranged, and completely aligned with the look and feel we wanted for our day. One thing we especially appreciated was Kay’s flexibility with the venue’s timeline. There was another event just before ours, and she coordinated setup seamlessly without causing any stress on our end.
We received so many compliments on the flowers during the wedding, and honestly, they’re still looking gorgeous days later. The quality and care that went into each arrangement really showed.
We found designs by Ella Rae through a friend’s recommendation, and we’re so glad we did. She’s talented, kind, and truly delivers. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for wedding florals

Beautiful designs and stellar service

Kay is AMAZING! I was a little nervous to meet at her house, but she is professional and the outcome was worth my hour drive for each meeting. I had a lot of pictures from Pinterest as "visions" but nothing of what I REALLY wanted--Kay made it come to life. She was quick to answer emails and texts and really put me at ease for the setup on the day of my wedding. My bouquet was gorgeous and my husband even commented on how the boutonnieres complimented our theme for the day. Beautiful arrangements by a wonderful designer!

Everyone LOVED my flowers!

Choosing Designs by Ella Rae as our wedding florist was the best decision we made! Kay is very responsive and easy to contact whenever you have questions. She really worked with us on getting exactly what we wanted for our budget. Beyond the beautiful flowers she brought to our wedding space, her team also set up the space wonderfully. For any bride who might be second guessing flowers or a flower budget - the flowers enhanced my big day and brought everything together. I could not imagine my wedding looking or feeling as beautiful without the flower arrangements and pieces by Designs by Ella Rae.

Best Wedding Flowers Ever

Kay went above and beyond our expectations! We gave her our vision for our recent August 2019 wedding and she delivered. All of our guests complimented how we had one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended! Kay took care of everything from set up to tear down and it couldn't have turned out more perfect. She was professional and always looking to make our lives easier and provide suggestions. She met with us multiple times at the venue and at her house to make sure she had everything just perfect for us. Always quick and friendly with communication. We HIGHLY recommend Designs By Ella Rae, she makes planning your wedding flowers fun and a breeze. Thank you for helping our dream wedding become a reality, Kay! Beautiful job

Amazing Florist!

Where do I begin? Kay was amazing to work with!!! From the start it’s so simple with her, she’s so organized, and so knowledgeable in flowers she gave me exactly what I wanted. Kay did my centerpieces (tall, short, and candles), she did my greenery at head table, and also 2 large flower arrangements for my ceremony & 2 corsages for the moms. Everything was so effortless, she explained it all worked with our budget, and she accepts Venmo. Everyone was in awww of our centerpieces at the reception. they look good in her pictures, but omg in person they are absolutely stunning!! Wow!! She’s so organized and detailed too. We rented the vases and she had super easy to follow instructions on how to return and everything!!! We are definitely pleased & happy!!!!

Gorgeous Wedding Flowers

I met with Kay a few times leading up to my wedding and while I don’t know very much at all about flowers, she took my color palette and overall vision and created such gorgeous centerpieces and bouquets. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were. I couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out. I still have my bridal bouquet because I was able to get it in water and I am going to dry it out this weekend. I’ve so enjoyed just getting to look at the gorgeous bouquet an extra week! I thought Kay priced very reasonably for the quality of her work. She did 14 centerpieces, 4 full bouquets, 3 single rose arrangements for moms/grandma, 11 boutonnières, a unity candle arrangement, cake flowers and a few other single rose accent flowers/greenery throughout the reception all for under $3000. And that included all services, delivery and pickup. I really don’t know how you can beat that! Couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Just stunning. I highly recommend.

Cannot say enough great things!

Working with Kay and Designs by Ella Rae was such a great experience and I highly recommend her to all brides! She was very responsive and on top of everything from booking to delivery. Even when faced with a shortage in roses, she handled the issue with professionalism and urgency. Not to mention the bouquets were drop dead GORGEOUS! Kay created exactly what I was looking for and she was able to capture my vision with only one phone call. Being an out of state bride, there were enough things for me to worry about, so believe me when I say, flowers will be the least of your worries if you give Designs by Ella Rae your business!
