Janet was so wonderful to work with for my wedding flower needs! She was so responsive with every email and even reached out to me numerous amounts of times to make sure she had every detail that she needed. She did a beautiful job whil staying right within the budget I gave her. I couldn't have asked for a better florist for our wedding!

I am so glad I chose janet for our wedding florist! She was professional, timely and her flowers really made our day so beautiful!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Ms. Janet is! She truly cares about her craft, and has a wonderful eye for design and colour. After sending her some idea pictures and an idea colour scheme, she came up with EXACTLY what I had in mind; even if I couldn't put it into words myself! The flowers were fresh and colourful, and fit in perfectly with our Nordic/rustic theme. Not only that, but she also brought some extra flowers for my hair too!
Working on a specific budget, she was most attentive and ensured that we had the upmost quality, while also respecting the boundary we set.
On top of the flowers, she also gave us the chance to purchase centerpiece boxes. Handmade, carved with our names and a picture of Maine! Wonderful pieces, they made excellent gifts for our friends and family, and we now have one as well on our mantel!
Superbly accommodating and so kind, Ms. Janet put up with my husband's and I's very strange shiftwork schedules as we planned. Not only that, but when she was in town for a convention, she actually offered to meet with us in person! That absolutely floored me!
For the wedding day itself, she made sure that there was literally no stress. She and her wonderful husband came and set everything up (as well as a beautiful arch!)
All in all, unmatched professionalism, design, and authentic caring! I cannot recommend Ms. Janet enough!

One thing i was most nervous about with planning my wedding was flowers. I had no clue what to do or where to begin. Janet was AMAZING. She helped me every step of the way, and her fast responses were greatly appreciated. We had to order more flowers last minute because of a table amount change and Janet was awesome through the whole thing and got us exactly what we wanted. The end result was stunning and i could not have been any happier with the work that Janet did. I 100 percent recommend her!

I am very particular about flowers and so I had very high expectations for Janet. She absolutely EXCEEDED everything and made by day even more beautiful!! She was very conscientious about budget, she took suggestions very graciously added her professional opinions without conflict with my fairly dominant personality:). She was wonderful to work with...very timely and professional yet extremely personable and sweet! I will add that I feel her website does not do her artistic design justice! She is creative, extremely knowledgeable about flowers and wedding tips and just a joy to work with!! Janet is an absolute gem and a very calming person on a very stressful day.

Janet is PHENOMENAL. She listened to every detail and went over things with me many times to ensure she would make all my dreams come true. And boy did she ever! Her flowers are STELLAR. Everything, from the absolutely stunning bouquet she made for me to the wrist corsages, to the swags, arrangements, cake flowers, shepherd's hooks, EVERYTHING was absolutely divine and exactly what I wanted. Not only were her talents profusely beautiful, the value was unreal. I could not speak more highly of her talents and execution. She knocked it outta the park for us. Flowers at my wedding was one area I wanted to be perfect and lush. Janet not only exceeded my expectations, she wowed everyone with the displays. I could not be happier. And she did all this with very short notice - we only began planning our wedding 2-1/2 months before!! She was like my fairy godmother, and I have told her this. She had my back. I cannot imagine another florist who would have even matched her, and that is the truth. You will be forever grateful if you pick her for your special day. What a woman!!

Janet was amazing. I explained to her what I wanted and she nailed it. Everyone was blown away by how beautiful my bouquets, centerpieces and wedding arch were. Including me! Janet took time to talk with me on the phone, in person and through email to make my day absolutely perfect. She asked all the right questions and made some suggestions that I’m happy I took! My flowers were one of my favorite parts of my wedding, and I can’t thank Janet enough. Highly recommend!!

Janet Black of “Designs” managed our older daughter’s autumn country-themed New England wedding and repeated her high level of professionalism 3 years later for our younger daughter, who chose an urban New England location in December.

Ms. Black worked with our family for months ahead of our events to ensure that every detail was worked out to our satisfaction.
She listened intently to our ideas
and helped us to make them beautiful realities. She designed and created fabulous floral arrangements, decorated a reception ballroom for one wedding and an enormous tent for the other. She worked with us to choose table linens and chair decor, arranged seating plans for the best use of the reception spaces, planned a rehearsal dinner for 100 people, supervised transportation planning and execution, attended to the wedding party’s prompt arrival at the church and performed innumerable other tasks, large and small, that allowed us to enjoy every moment of both of our wedding weekends. She was literally everywhere! She worked quietly and always with a smile and a very positive “can do” attitude. She assumed the stress that we might have experienced had we not engaged her services.

We have nothing but wonderful memories of our weddings and we credit Janet and her team with helping to create them.

I recommend her without reservation.

Janet was a pleasure to work with and designed the most beautiful arrangements and bouquets we could have ever imagined. She is truly the reason our ceremony and reception were so breathtakingly beautiful. We began the process without a clear vision of exactly what we wanted, and were hoping our florist could help shape that vision. Janet did exactly that - with patience and excitement. She helped guide us through the process and the types of choices we'd have, maintaining ongoing communication and providing us with ample pictures and recommendations when asked. She was so flexible about adjusting small details and flower types to meet our budget, assuring us that even with some cost cutting measures, the final outcome would be just as beautiful. She is a true expert at her craft and a delight to work with. We could tell that she cares deeply about each couple and is genuinely excited to be part of their special day. We HIGHLY recommend Janet to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and extremely talented floral designer.

I cannot say enough good things about Designs Florist by Janet Black. She was wonderful to work with.She created a beautiful bridal bouquet and bridesmaids flowers for her. She also created the most beautiful white pumpkin centerpieces for the reception, we received so many compliments on them from the wedding guests.
Looking for a florist? Look no further....Janet is the one!!!
