From the first time I met with Karla I knew I wanted to work with her for my wedding. In our first meeting she took the time to go over every little detail of the decor and arrangements. She was familiar with my venue and full of ideas. She was able to help me add all the little details to my wedding vision to make it a reality, from the selection of the chairs for the ceremony and reception, down to the florals for the bouquets. When we met for the table mock-up I was blown away with her execution based on our discussions about my flower preferences, wedding colors, and my thoughts about the style of wedding I wanted. Her design for the reception tabletops was beautiful and exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I am so grateful for Karla’s professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. Thanks to her, both the ceremony site and reception ballroom were absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t be happier with her work!

Karla, owner and operator of Elegant by Design, is a top notch professional floral designer. I HIGHLY recommend her for ANY floral event needs, especially weddings.

She has a very artistic eye, extremely pleasant to work with, and completely dependable. She made my vision for my wedding become a reality and then some. To do this she listened to my ideas and collaborated with me with ease. I had a color palette and theme for my wedding and she provided so many ideas for flowers and décor accordingly. She provided a very reasonable estimate and stuck to it.

The quality of the flowers were superb. They looked completely fresh and in the colors we approved. The vases and decorations were pristine. They were on time for setup and had everything in place well before the guests started arriving.
When her staff delivered my bouquet to my room I just cried tears of joy. It was the most beautiful bridal bouquet I could have imagined. Karla partnered with me in creating the most gorgeous floral and broach bouquet. I provided her the mounted wire stemmed broaches and shells and she added the flowers and assembled it altogether. The result was amazing.

The wedding ceremony flowers were to die for. My guests were telling me they had never seen such beautiful arrangements at a wedding in their entire lives. The alter bouquets were full and dripping with vines and flowers and crystals as we had planned. She sourced beautiful sea shells from Florida to go in the flower vases. The scroll pattern of rose petals was just heavenly. Everything from the ceremony was re-purposed for the reception. The top arch bouquets decorated our sweetheart table. The vase centerpieces were placed on tables. It was all perfectly planned out. She even made custom cocktail table centerpieces to fit our motif.

If you are a wedding coordinator you must get to know Karla's work.
If I ever plan flowers for an event again, I will definitely come back to Karla and Elegant by Design.
