Just Spectacular!

We hired Melissa to design our flowers for our destination wedding on Captiva Island. My direction was simple - make them fun, tropical, bright & fabulous. Then, I let Melissa do what she does best: design the most magnificent arrangements of flowers you can imagine. She did just that! From the bouquets to the flowers on the ceremony arch, she created an eye-catching cacophony of color that complimented the beach setting and our attire. She even went above and beyond when she re-purposed the arch flowers and created ad-hoc arrangements for the dinner tables and deck.

We highly recommend Floral Designs by Melissa - her attention to detail, creative eye and kind, warm personality make her a pleasure with which to work.

Amazing florist!

Melissa was an absolute godsend for my wedding! She was extremely easy to work with and very knowledgeable about all things flowers! She responded to every email I sent within 24 hours throughout the whole planning process. Meeting over Zoom made everything very convenient and easy for me – especially since it allowed my mother, who lives out of state, to be involved in each step and conversation. She encouraged us to create a Pinterest board then used that to help shape the final design. I know next to nothing about flowers so having someone there to make suggestions and answer all of my questions was a game changer. She was always on time for every appointment and was accommodating up until the last minute – including adding on to the design proposal merely weeks before the wedding. I cannot recommend Melissa and her team enough!!

Stunning wedding florals and incredible to work with!

From our first meeting with Melissa she was artistic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel excited and comfortable! We did not know exactly what we wanted, but Melissa was able to talk through our wedding mood board to understand what we liked. She then created bouquets and centerpieces more perfect than I could have ever imagined! Melissa also brought up ideas she thought we would like, including ways we could save money/cut costs but still have a beautiful impact with our florals! If you want someone who cares about making your wedding special and beautiful book Floral Designs by Melissa! Thank you Melissa for being a part of our day and making it absolutely perfect, we are so grateful for you!!!
