A thousand times over, I would book Sandy for my wedding florals!!!

A thousand times over, I would book Sandy for my wedding florals!!! Sandy is responsive (which is so rare to find!), kind, detail-oriented, and so enthusiastic about bringing creative visions to life. Collaborating with her was such a fun process, and she truly made our vision board a reality.

From the beginning, Sandy was thorough with her notes, attentive to our preferences, and intentional about creating a cohesive look. She even took the time to consider details like our invitations and my gown to inform the floral design—which made everything feel so connected and thoughtful.

On our wedding day, her work exceeded our expectations. The florals were breathtaking and tied our entire day together beautifully. Beyond her talent, Sandy was an absolute joy to work with. We were blown away, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Fairytale Flowers

Sandy brought our floral dreams to life in the most stunning way. From the bouquets and boutonnières to the ceremony arrangements and reception displays, every single piece was breathtaking. I had shared my vision of colorful, whimsical wildflowers, and Sandra not only understood it—she elevated it beyond anything I could have imagined. Our guests were in awe, with so many saying the flowers looked like they belonged in a magazine. The vibrant colors, thoughtful pairings, and natural elegance of each arrangement truly made our wedding feel magical.

Working with Sandra was a joy from start to finish. She was attentive, creative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. She took the time to listen to what I envisioned and offered guidance that made everything feel easy and stress-free. Her talent and professionalism are unmatched, and we feel so lucky to have had her as part of our day. We highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for breathtaking, artful florals and an amazing person behind them.

The Best Wedding Florals Of All Time

Sandra Poterfield was our florist for our May 2nd wedding at Excelsior in Lancaster, PA. We booked her for our day after I met with three other vendors. Beyond giving a fair, thorough, and thoughtful quote, she was such a joy to talk to and work with. Once we decided to book with her, we ended up meeting at her workshop, which was so nice of her to do, since we were not often in town to have other meetings, as needed. We were also able to get to know her more on a personal level and found her kindness, enthusiasm for her job, and professionalism made us even more sure that we chose the right person for the job.
I am a big plant person, so when I envisioned my wedding, I wanted something bold, colorful, and fun! I wanted it to feel like Sandra just went out and picked up wildflowers in the most beautiful colors and put them together in a bouquet. Sandra literally read my mind with the vision and then made it even better.
We made some last-minute changes, some of them literally days before the wedding, which didn’t shake Sandra. We changed bridesmaids’ dresses, added a new piece to decorate (a trunk), and a sweetheart table instead of a head table, and she was super flexible with us. We even did another quick call before I sent her the final check to make sure everything was correct.
Everyone complimented the florals, and so many people wanted to take them home with them! Even better, she worked in my random, obscure thoughts and added succulents (which I love) into our florals, alongside daisies, eucalyptus, blues, purples, pinks, and other beautiful flowers. It was everything I wanted and more.
I would use Sandra over and over again. She’s extremely talented, communicative, and she’s just a good person. So when I tell you that you should use Sandra for your wedding, I mean it. You will not regret it.

Vision come to life

Sandra was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first meeting, she took the time to truly understand my vision and offered thoughtful, creative suggestions that elevated it to something beyond what I could have imagined. She seamlessly incorporated my favorite flowers and colors into the arrangements, creating designs that felt deeply personal and unique to our day.

On the wedding day, everything Sandra created was flawless. The bouquets, centerpieces, and reception decor were breathtaking! ! What truly sets Sandra apart is her dedication. She went above and beyond, even making last-minute adjustments to accommodate any and all changes, ensuring every detail was perfect.

Sandra was also incredibly mindful of our budget, finding innovative ways to maximize the impact of the arrangements without ever compromising on quality. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine care made all the difference in making our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a florist who will exceed your expectations, Sandra is the one!

Garden Party Dream

Where do I begin...We found Sandy through a recommended list of vendors at our venue, the Barn at Silverstone. From her website, which I saw how she had an appreciation for creation, flowers and beauty, to the initial phone call, she sounded like an angel, with such kindness in her voice, I knew I had to work with her. I also love how she uses local flower farms and I am a big supporter of local businesses. She made my "Garden party" theme come to life with the beautifully chosen flowers that are delicate, whimsical and artistic. I was inspired by spring florals, soft pastel colors & English Garden weddings. She helped me put into words that I love "fluffy, full" flowers and she definitely understood the assignment. It is a big joy of mine to celebrate any life's event with flowers and Sandy filled my weekend with joy with all of the beautiful arrangements to the smallest details like my cake and the corsages and boutonnieres. I absolutely loved my bouquet, that I ended up dropping it off to get it preserved a few days later. I'm still enjoying the surviving flowers to this day. I was so happy to meet her in person and if I could have another wedding with my husband, I'd call her right away. Lastly, she is so helpful and professional, especially since there was a comical color mix-up with my family members (is it pink or is it yellow?) and she was flexible to adapt the color changes. She made the process so seamless. You will love your flowers :)

The BEST florist!

We hired Sandy as our florist for our October 2023 wedding at Excelsior in Lancaster, PA. I was happy to chat on the phone with Sandy multiple times throughout the planning process as well as make a trip to her farm so we could plan in person together. She is just the sweetest person ever and her studio in Holtwood, PA is the cutest place you'll ever see. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and she is dang good at it! She nailed my vision for flowers perfectly - black and white elegance with a touch of fall. She listened to my ever changing plans, adjusted things, and did her best to stay within my budget. I cannot recommend her enough!

The Most Beautiful Flowers

Sandy created the most beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, arbor and ceremony arrangements, and more for our wedding and did an absolutely stunning job. Our flowers were more perfect and beautiful than I ever imagined. All of the arrangements were full and the flowers were big, healthy, and a beautiful color and condition. I wish they could last forever. On top of being an amazingly talented florist, Sandy is one of the kindest people I’ve had the privilege of meeting during my wedding planning process and she was truly great to work with. If you want to have the most breathtakingly beautiful arrangements/bouquets/etc., look no further than Sandy. She’s truly the best!

Don't look any further!

Words cannot express how thankful my husband and I are that we chose Sandy to provide the florals for our wedding. Sandy went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined and everything from our bouquets to bud vase arrangements were stunning. Everyone raved about them to this day! Sandy is such a nice person and she cares about your wants and needs while doing everything she can to stick to your budget. Do yourself a favor and stop your search!

Sandy is the best!

Sandy was one of my absolute favorite vendors. She seriously made my floral dreams come true!!! Flowers can be stressful, only because you don't really know how they will look until you see them the day of the wedding. However, after meeting with Sandy, I knew I had nothing to worry about. I sent her some pictures of my floral vision, we discussed colors, she educated about different types of flowers and the seasons, she was so great at working with my budget, and gave some really good ideas and recommendations during the planning process. I booked her about 2 years before my wedding, because of that I changed my mind A LOT when it came to my floral vision. She was so incredibly understanding, and made changes for me along the way with no issues whatsoever. I am still obsessed with my flowers. I really wanted a statement piece for the ceremony, and she did an amazing job and creating 2 beautiful asymmetrical installations, and even made it possible for them to be moved from ceremony to the reception. Sandy is the best of the best, I cannot recommend her enough. She is so sweet, fun, and excited to talk to you about your vision. You can really tell how much she loves her job. Book her, I promise you will not regret it!
