Absolutely loved our flowers!

We had a great meeting with Sheila in person prior to booking Ipomea for our flowers. She walked through what we liked and didn’t like while giving her professional opinion / feedback on what would work best for us. She was able to pinpoint our vision without us really knowing we had one. We were very impressed with her ability to do this and pull together our ideas into a cohesive plan. We had some last minute changes to the flowers which she was very accommodating with, and all of our flowers turned out so beautiful! We would highly recommend Ipomea.

Great communication and budget-friendly

We ultimately decided to go with another florist for our wedding, but we loved planning with Sheila so much that we wanted to recommend her to others. Sheila was very quick to respond to all of our questions, and very thorough and patient in her communication with us. Sheila was also very easy to talk to about a budget--she gave us a lot of tips on where to cut to stay within our budget, and how to cut without sacrificing our look. We really enjoyed working with her!

Sheila and her team were beyond amazing. I gave Sheila a broad idea of the types of flowers and look I wanted for our wedding. She went above and beyond. Her artistic eye shined through in each component she created for us. Would highly recommend.

I really can’t recommend a florist more highly than Sheila. I went in with very little vision - some gerbera daisies, maybe? corals and pinks? - and our personal flowers were more beautiful than anything I could have imagined. Sheila took some really vague direction from me and turned that into gorgeous arrangements. She was also very upfront about pricing and respected my budget, with no hidden fees or charges at all. Overall, she was just really fun and easy to work with, and she communicated regularly to make sure we were on the same page. I really can’t put into words how much I appreciated working with her. And my bridal bouquet stayed fresh and beautiful for about a week after the wedding, to boot!

I was the mother of the bride but met with Sheila with my daughter for the initial consultation. Sheila brought my daughter's vision to life! Everything looked like it was straight out of Pinterest!! Beautiful and unique flowers that I've never seen before and so many of them per arrangement!! The bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets were the prettiest I've ever seen. Sheila was also extremely flexible when my daughter changed her mind about the vases at the 11th hour and everything was delivered on time and beautifully fresh. Thank you Sheila for everything!!

Sheila was amazing to work with! We hired her as our floral designer for our october wedding. I came to her with a few picture ideas and she came up with the most amazing ideas to meet my expectations. She is incredibly creative and so easy to work with. Then on top of that her flowers are to die for gorgeous. I received so many compliments about our bouquets, boutonnieres and reception centerpieces, not only from the guests but the other vendors. I loved every single thing!!! I just got my pictures back from the wedding and continue to be stunned by how beautiful the flowers were. I would highly recommend Ipomea floral design ten times over and I plan on using her services again!!

Sheila was our florist for our wedding last weekend and did an amazing job! I knew nothing about flowers when we started discussing. Sheila was very patient in sifting through my pintrest board and helped us figure out exactly what we wanted.

Sheila was also very respectful of our budget. She provided very helpful suggestions for how we could trim our budget. It was very much a team effort to decide on the right types of flowers and overall arrangements to not break the bank. She provided a general dollar range for each particular flower and helped us understand which options were pricier/more affordable. She was also very good with immediately responding back to emails and coordinating the drop off of flowers. This was almost effortless.

Finally, Sheila just has excellent taste and can run with any ideas you give her. After I told Sheila our color palette, she added some gold touches to my bouquet, as well as my sisters' bouquets. This was very eye-catching and looked great in pictures, not to mention something I would not have thought of. I never felt like I had to hold her hand or walk her through exactly how I wanted the arrangement. I felt completely comfortable letting her run with it and it paid off...because everything was beautiful on the wedding day! Sheila does a sneak peak with every bridal bouquet she works on. From the moment the picture went up on Friday until we left on the honeymoon, I could not stop looking at my bouquet!

I would recommend Ipomea Floral to anyone! Sheila was such a breeze to work with. It was really easy to bounce ideas off of her and I never felt like she wasn't "getting it" when it comes to what we had envisioned. And in the end the centerpieces, boutonnieres and bouquets were GORGEOUS and exactly what we had talked about. We didn't have a wedding planner and anyone in my shoes will know that feeling your way through the confusing world of vendors, budgets, timelines and guests lists can be stressful. What helps the most is if you surround yourself with vendors you get along with well and trust to do a good job. If I ever had any questions or the occasional last minute change Sheila was always open and accommodating. And another huge plus for the anxious bride, she replied promptly to any emails! Surprisingly, not all vendors have the same professional work habits. Overall our experience with Sheila and Ipomea was stress free and fantastic!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
