Thank you Elegance & Simplicity!!!

Katie and Miguel from Elegance and Simplicity exceeded all our expectations with their floral arrangements and wedding design. The flowers were stunning, and Katie helped us capture the essence of our vision. On the day of the wedding, Miguel and Chrishaun were on-site to efficiently manage the setup and breakdown of all decorations. Chrishaun, our day-of coordinator, was an absolute gem. She was always available to assist us. Chrishaun helped to draft a detailed timeline, provided great ideas for our rehearsal, and executed everything flawlessly on our wedding day. Her dedication ensured that our day flowed seamlessly, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Elegance and Simplicity, for making our wedding day truly beautiful and everything we imagined it to be.

Elegance and simplicity was recommended by our venue, Woodend Sanctuary, for their stunning bistro lighting service, which looked absolutely amazing and made so much of a difference in the photos and general ambiance. Pretty late in the game, we also contacted them to rent our wedding arch, and they were incredibly accommodating in getting the arch to us, even though they had other deliveries booked that day. Their rentals were beautiful and they were so professional. Highly recommended!

Beautiful flowers and amazing experience!

Katie was amazing to work with. Right from the start, she understood our vision. We had a smaller budget to work with, and she was very helpful in determining what we could include while being mindful of the budget. The flowers themselves were stunning. I got so many compliments on the bouquet. The additional ceremony decor and centerpieces were also lovely. She was professional and easy to work with. Would highly recommend!
