Stop looking for a florist - choose Paula at the Archivist!

I cannot say enough good things about the Archivist! My husband and I planned our wedding in six weeks, and Paula was organized, responsive, and supportive the entire time. She was patient with our many requests and questions, and she was collaborative and considerate of our preferences. Paula is an artist. She crafted beautiful, artistic pieces that built on our ideas and transformed them into something even better than we had the ability to envision on our own. Paula provided clear and detailed estimates, and she was very willing to talk through costs, make adjustments to the estimates, and come up with flexible and creative solutions - amazing product at an affordable price. Paula sincerely values the trust that a couple places in her to make their dreams for their wedding day a reality, and the amount of care, thought, and passion that she puts into her work is clear. Bottom line, Paula delivers - I was blown away by the quality of her work and the level of detail in each piece that she was able to provide. She remembered small details of our conversations and incorporated those into the arrangements, which was memorable and touching. Choose Paula and the Archivist as your florist - you will not be disappointed!

The Best of the Best!

Paula was absolutely fabulous. She was so flexible with our changing requests, and produced the most beautiful arrangements. She created exactly what we were looking for, even when we didn't have the right words for it! Her flowers were beautiful, and they were reasonably priced. Cannot recommend her enough - she did such great work with such a lovely connection to work with!

Paula made my vision come true!!!

Paula did great at communicating during the process. She truly made the center pieces everything I had imagined and more. The bouquets were incredible, smelled fresh, and just looked beautiful. She listened to what I wanted and took her experience to make it even better. I had met with other florist that had not listened to me and added things they thought I would like so it was nice to work with someone who wanted the customer to be happy. She also was great leading up to the wedding in adjusting things and working with me. I highly recommend. The flowers were top notch!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
