Visionary Florist!!!

Five million stars! Sweeley's Design Shop was a recommendation from our amazing coordinator, and it was an even more perfect fit than we could have imagined. Laura's work had us both stunned the moment we arrived at the venue, and not a single person could stop talking about it! We wanted a LOT of emphasis on greenery for our wedding, leaning in to a overgrown & woodsy look. We didn't want a ton of flowers, only carefully placed for emphasis or pops of color. Laura immediately understood what we were going for and worked with us to deliver everything we wanted and MORE on our wedding day. My wife wore a gorgeous boutonniere, and I was honored to carry the most beautiful bouquet I've seen in my life!! She has such an incredible eye, and used our inspiration photos to create art that was beyond what we even believed they could be. Everything was fresh, smelled incredible, and perfectly accented every aspect of our wedding day. From the planning process, to ceremony to reception, Laura impressed us at every turn. She is also incredibly sweet, easy to work with, flexible and fair. You could instantly tell she puts her whole heart into everything she creates. We LOVED working with her, and are preserving as many of her beautiful flowers as we can to keep with us forever. Thank you for creating such magic on our wedding day!!! We will never forget it! :)

Amazing work!

WOW! Laura took my inspiration floral photos and brought them to LIFE! I have had MULTIPLE wedding guests reach out to me about how amazing the florals were. They were stunning from the bouquets, arch, center pieces, sweetheart table, fountain, etc.
I was STUNNED by how amazing it all looked, it took my breath away.
Not only were the flowers beautiful, but working with Laura was great! She was flexible, good communication, quick responses, kind, and helped us stay in our floral budget but also was able to create the florals I had dreamed of.
I highly recommend Laura for any of your floral needs! 10/10 would recommend/hire again.
