Absolutely phenomenal all around!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Handpickd. The floral arrangements at our wedding were absolutely breathtaking and our experience working with Mari and Hillary was seamless and wonderful. They made my vision come to life and my husband, myself and our guests were just blown away. They went above and beyond to make our day special and to work within our budget. We loved everything about our experience and cannot recommend Handpickd enough!

Best day ever!

From the very first meeting I had with Hillary & Mari, I knew we hit the jackpot with our florists! I immediately felt like we known each other forever & felt like they knew exactly what my vision was for our wedding.

During every interaction, they were efficient, professional, & attentive to any questions or concerns I had. They put me at ease & I knew that when it came time for our big day, everything would be perfect!

On our wedding day, I was blown away by how beautiful our flowers were! We received so many compliments on the special attention to detail & how beautiful the bouquets were. We were also extremely pleased with the price; I let Hillary know our budget & she was able to come up with creative ways to re-use several items from the ceremony for the reception! I appreciate her willingness to look out for us as customers.

I truly cannot say enough good things about these two; they are a bride's dream & I know that if I ever have any future floral needs, they will be my first phone call! Thank you ladies, for making our day the best day.

More Beautiful Than Ever!

Thought it would be better late than never to share about our wonderful day! My husband and I got married this last June. Hillary and Mari did an excellent job and did not disappoint! The flowers looked fresh all day and they were able to make my vision come to life!

So stunning!

Wow wow wow! If I had to choose my favorite vendor, it would be Handpickd. I was absolutely blown away by all the dreamy florals on our wedding day. Their work completely exceeded my expectations and I’m still speechless when I look through the photos from that day! Mari was so great to work with throughout the entire planning process and was so accomodating. I showed her pictures of ideas that I loved and she had great ideas and recommendations of flowers to use for them. Their creative work completely transformed the ceremony and reception space. Their team is super talented and hard working- I am so grateful for using them for our wedding! 7 months later and people are still talking about our florals. 100% would recommend using them- thank you Handpickd!

Hillary and Mari at Handpickd did an amazing job on the flowers for our wedding. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous and unique and our centerpieces at the receptions were immaculate. We are so glad we chose Handpickd for our Galena wedding.

Hillary and Mari did an amazing job for my wedding this past September! Hillary was super responsive and patient throughout the entire process. I made multiple changes and they were flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. My center pieces, bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and greenery came out beautiful! I still receive compliments about them when I see guests who attended.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I prefer to be a unique bride and they totally caught on that from the moment we spoke. They got me so excited for all the floral arrangements and kept it super organic. I'm obsessed with succulents and love to have interesting aspects such as artichoke and kale in arrangements. They went above and beyond. I had a picture of 1 orchid submerged in water in cylinder vases, Handpickd had multiple orchids in the cylinder and made it look way better than I could have ever imagined. Most guests don't really notice flowers (which is a sin) and all of my guests kept commenting on the gorgeous arrangements! It truly was amazing and so beautiful! Thank you so much!

The best option in the Galena/Dubuque area! Not only did they basically do 3 centerpieces per table for our 22 tables, they also did extra table flowers, ceremony pew and alter flowers, plus bouquets, boutonnieres, wrist corsages and more! When the reception room was privately unveiled to me, I immediately started crying because the vision came together exactly as we had discussed and everything was perfect. If I had to say something negative I guess I'd say if you're looking for glittery/shimmery warps on the bouquet handles, ask for a ribbon that doesn't shed glitter on your hands...? HA! If that's all I have to say on the negative side the experience was obviously amazing! They even tackled a potential disaster just 3 days before buy going out and buying the tulle that I forgot to rent. Flowers are expensive but they were a big part of our decor. We opted for soft ponies, ranunculus and rose in sandy blush and ivory shades. Mari and Hillary were super sweet and explained all of the options and why they recommended certain decisions proving they know their craft so well. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
