Mimi was thoughtful, and she had great ideas. She was available to speak with me any time, and that really helped me. Also, the food was fantastic!

Mimi was awesome! She was persistent and kept asking me questions about what flowers I wanted at my wedding and gave me different ideas to choose from (since I had no idea what flowers were in season at the time). The flowers turned out great, they were simple and lasted the entire night. The grooms boutonniere was the best. It was perfect and stood out from the rest of the groomsmens flowers. I had zero worries when I asked Mimi to do the flowers for us! Definitely someone to consider when thinking about having beautiful flowers at your wedding!

There is no way I can write how amazing Mimi and her creations are! Wedding was 8/9/14 @ Sainte Claire; the combination real and silk Mimi created set and perfected the room in the perfect elegance the bride Stephanie had envisioned. Says a lot when a man (my husband Dan) saw the room first and said "breathtaking" and when I saw each centerpiece and how distinctive they were, I too was stunned someone could have so much artistic talent. Mimi also created three bouquets for the bride: 1) real for the Virgin Mary, 2) a stunning silk keepsake bouquet with crystal brooches,and 3) a smaller version of keepsake with brooches for tossing at reception; 3 main table silk arrangements and at Mimi's suggestion small vases for bridesmaids to place their bouquet's completed the balanced table. Mimi went above and beyond in her professionalism, her consideration, her artistic eye, her always available to support, and punctuality at church with groom (Garrett), groomsmen/family flowers/at hotel in setting up. In closing, the guests were so taken with the beauty of Mimi's centerpiece's when announced they could be taken home-not one piece remained! Stephanie, Garrett, Dan, and I were 100% pleased with Mimi and are very thankful to have her as part of the bride and groom's vision. THANK YOU MIMI!!!

Mimi recently organized a Halloween themed party at our home for 60 people. I cannot express just how wonderful Mimi was! Both her and her staff were so professional, and went out of their way to make our party special. Mimi worked with me every step of the way, and always asked my approval before purchasing anything. She included me in all of the planning, which made it really very special. The day of the party, everything went off without a hitch, and the party was perfect! I can't believe how many compliments we received, and so many people asked for Mimi's information because they were so impressed! Mimi also kept in great communication with me, and e-mailed, texted and called consistently to make sure I was kept in the loop. I had no surprises, and was just blown away at what an amazing job she did. I have never seen a party so beautifully decorated…Mimi has such a great talent for this!! If we ever decide to have another party, Mimi will be the first person we call! Not only has she become out party planner of choice, but she has also become a family friend. She has a wonderful heart and outstanding talent. I would highly recommend her for all of your party planning needs!!

This review does not fully compare to the actual experience of having Mimi as our wedding planner. My husband and I fell in love with her! I was referred to her by a friend a month or so before my wedding. You can imagine the details that needed to be done before that time frame. Not only did she take on the challenge of helping us, but went out of her way so our day was perfect. I live in concord, and she drove out 1 1/2 away to come meet with us several times. She kept good track of the things that still needed to be done. Her organization was phenomenal! Constant communication and support were there more than 100% (even for my emotional days)
Besides the planning, she took care of the table centerpieces herself! Which were beautifully made with natural flowers on all 15-18 tables including our head table. Our guests, including vendors we hired were so impressed with her work, and most importantly by my husband and I. She found the best deals possible and made everything perfect yet affordable for us. Not only would we consider going through her all over again, but know we will continue to use her for future events and highly recommend her. We know that we didn't just find a good event/wedding planner, but a great friend that we will keep in touch with.
Thank you again Mimi for helping us with our unforgettable perfect day!

I've been looking for floral swags to add to the decor of my DYI wedding. Since my wedding is in October, I was looking for something that would fit our fall theme decor, but also is part of our wedding colors of purple and gold. After looking for sometime....I came across Designs By Mimi on Etsy. I was knew to the website, and wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised at the attention, cooperation, and assistance I recieved by Mimi. She makes her arrangements herself, and really aims to please. Not only did she produce exactly what I wanted, but also was open to suggestions. The swags not only are perfect for my autumn wedding reception, but you can feel the love she put into creating it for my special day. Thank you Mimi!!!

Mimi came through with my favors and flower arrangements for all party attendees. For the favors she stuck with my color scheme and her favorite as well, purple. With the matching and gathering of lavendar, purple and some white to infuse the floral decor to pair with the refined poppuri sachet for any sex of that matter. It was a delight and grabbed off the tables by my guests.

For the main arrangements, fresh floral pieces were transformed into amazing bouquets, crosages and boutineers for my family, spouse and myself.

Mimi works well with all her clients needs and wants. From the basics to the very detailed pin points of any specific bride as myself, or any occasion for that matter individual could want for their special day. She is very price orientated where she will work with you but the amount into the pieces speak louder than words. Book and look I to designs by mimi today!

Not sure how it could have been better. Hassle free and very cost effective. I would recommend her highly.
