Breathtaking Florals and a Dream to Work With – Shari Made It All Come to Life

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Flowers Make Sense and the incredible Shari, who brought our wedding floral vision to life with such care, creativity, and precision. Every arrangement—from the ceremony arch to the reception tables to our personal flowers—was absolutely stunning and perfectly captured the look and feel we were going for.

Shari was an absolute dream to work with: communicative, thoughtful, and so genuinely kind throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand our vision and went above and beyond to make sure everything was executed flawlessly. The florals elevated every space and added so much warmth and beauty to the day.

If you're looking for a floral team that combines artistry, professionalism, and heart—this is it. We’re endlessly grateful.

The Perfect Florist for Our Dream Wedding

We could not have been happier with our experience working with Shari and Flowers Make Scents for our wedding. From our very first conversations, she was thoughtful, creative, and attentive to every detail, and the final result exceeded every expectation we had.

The circle arbor she created for our ceremony was absolutely breathtaking. It was everything I had envisioned and more, and it will be the backdrop of some of our most cherished wedding photos and memories for years to come. The floral and lantern installation she created on the staircase leading into our ceremony space was stunning and far surpassed anything I imagined when we first discussed the design. It made such a beautiful statement and truly transformed the space.

The greenery on the pillars in the reception room tied everything together perfectly, creating the elegant atmosphere we dreamed of. My bouquet was also absolutely perfect—beautifully designed, incredibly special, and exactly what I had hoped for.

What stood out most was the care, passion, and attention to detail that Shari brought to every arrangement. Every floral element felt intentional and thoughtfully crafted. It was clear how much time, effort, and heart she invested in making our wedding beautiful.

We are so grateful that Shari was our florist. Her work was one of the highlights of our entire wedding day and played such an important role in creating a celebration that felt elegant, memorable, and uniquely ours.

If you're looking for a florist who is talented, creative, professional, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I cannot recommend Shari and Flowers Make Scents highly enough.

Loved working with Flowers Makes Scents!


I’m so grateful I found Flowers Makes Scents while searching for a floral vendor for my wedding! From the start, they were professional, responsive, and made this aspect of wedding planning completely stress-free. I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted beyond a few color preferences, but after sharing a few inspiration photos, they truly brought my vision to life. The arrangements they created—based on just a few details—were absolutely stunning. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend them for your wedding florals!

Flowers were stunning!

Our wedding planner mainly communicated with Flowers Make Scents and to be honest, I didn’t really have an idea or look I was really wanting. I just had the wedding colors and said “boho-chic” and even with that little information, they created stunning pieces and had the perfect color + flower breed combo made to fit our special day. Everything was absolutely beautiful.

Great Value

From the initial consultation to the final delivery and arrangements, Flowers Make Scents did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding. Their prices were very reasonable, and they were easy to work with throughout the process. The bridal bouquets were beautiful, and the table arrangements were artfully created. We had a large quantity of corsages, wrist corsages, swags, large arrangements and table arrangements and each one was arranged with care. I can't say enough about how easy and accommodating they were. I would highly recommend!
