Flowers and Designs by Ernest

My flowers were absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t not have asked for a better florist. I am so appreciative of everything they did to make my visions come to life!

Ernest's work is absolutely breathtaking! He did an amazing job and it was better than I could ever imagine!

Ernest was wonderful and easy to work with! The flowers were beautiful!!

I got married in Salter Path and because I am from Raleigh, I had to find a florest I knew nothing about. My wedding planner was told to try Ernest! THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION! My bridal portraits were on a Sunday and Ernest had someone meet me with my bouquet and it looked AMAZING!! On my wedding day he delivered the flowers to the wedding house. I was SO HAPPY with them. My mom and my sister (who just got married and who went to over 10 weddings last year) said they had NEVER seen such beautiful work. My bouquet was elogant and not too big and the bridesmaids' bouquets were colorful and just the right size (I HATE when the bridesmaids have these huge bouquets). Ernest was professional, had great customer service, he wasn't overpriced, and his work is amazing!

Flowers & Designs by Ernest was the only disappointment on my wedding day. After calling several local florists, I was assured that my bouquet and fiancé's boutonniere would look like my inspiration photo. We wanted a colorful mix, unusual greenery, no carnations or other filler flowers, mid-sized loose bouquet with yellows and oranges kept to a minimum. For the price I was quoted ($$$), I believed them. I'm only giving a mid-range rating because my fiancé (now husband) thought the flowers were vibrant and beautiful. My bouquet was a vibrant mix of colors but the flowers started falling out before we could even get it back to our B&B and they kept falling out! My (expensive) delicate purple orchids would just fall on the ground. I would pick them up and push them back in. They charged me $5 for a plastic vase to put my bouquet in water after the wedding, only to find out the stems were not part of the actual flowers! Our pictures on the beach look good with the pop of color the flowers provided (the only reason my review isn't worse) but I am not happy with the flowers or how well my bouquet was constructed. The greenery was the standard stiff fern leaves around the outside of the bouquet almost as an after-thought. I'm still disappointed.
