Vika has vision!
Vika is amazing! I first saw her work on Instagram and then learned she was a preferred vendor with our venue (The Gala 417). From our very first consultation to our emails throughout the planning process she was nothing short of thorough. Even if she was unable to respond immediately she let me know when she could and did so in detail. She even met our cake decorator the day of our wedding to coordinate drop of florals for our cake! I loved getting her input on the colors of our table numbers and linens. And let me just say the florals and drapery exceeded my expectations. I loved how she tied in our theme into the florals and the drama that was my bouquet. I’ve gotten so many compliments.
The drapery trulyyyyy gave us the most fabulous backdrop throughout the evening and everyone has raved about it. I will absolutely be recommending Vika to others and will definitely use her for again!

Erbez Wedding
Vika popped up on my instagram feed back in the early stages of wedding planning. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get the florals on her feed out of my head. It all timed out and Vika was available and I couldn’t have been more excited. Vika took my vision and made it a reality! I could not have been more pleased with how the florals turned out. They absolutely took my breath away and my guests breath away. People continue to say how beautiful they were and how much they transformed the space. Vika made things so easy. We had one phone call where I sent her pictures of what I was thinking and then one check in call and that was it! It was one thing I didn’t have to worry about throughout the whole wedding planning process and I was so grateful for that. On the day of the wedding, again, not a worry! Thank you Vika for making our wedding absolutely beautiful and unforgettable!

Incredibly Talented Artist
Working with Vika was a great experience. From the beginning I knew that the floral design was one of the aspects I was most excited about for my wedding, I’m so happy I chose to work with Vika to accomplish this vision. Vika is truly an artist and has gorgeous ideas. While I had my own ideas I expressed to her, I found her work exceeded my wildest dreams and amplified my vision into a more high end, impressive work of art. Vika was flexible, courteous, and responsive throughout the whole process, giving my husband and I so many extra services out of the kindness of her heart. If you are looking for bespoke floral or drapery artwork in the area, Vika’s design work stands alone. My husband and I wholeheartedly endorse Vika!

Gala 417 January 2026
I cannot recommend Vika enough! I heard about Vika through The Gala 417 as a preferred vendor. After seeing her website and Instagram page, I knew she would be able to bring my vision to life. If you’re looking for a moody, dramatic, romantic vibe, she’s the florist/designer to book.
Upon reaching out, communication has been clear and prompt. Vika worked with my budget and gave honest opinions on what flowers are in season and within my budget. Her proposal is very detailed, and she places a big focus on design not just for the florals but for the table lighting, as well.
The biggest showstopper was the draping that I added a few months before the wedding. Vika was very accommodating with that request and showed me examples and suggested where it could be placed. Imagining it and then actually seeing it on my wedding day, I truly cannot put into words how in awe I was and still am any time I look at my wedding photos.
Vika is an artist with phenomenal design. 100% recommend and would honestly book again!

Wow. 🤩 I do not have the words. I had the privilege of working with Vika for my wedding, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Every arrangement was pure elegance—an all-white design that radiated sophistication and beauty. She went above and beyond in every way, ensuring not a single detail was missed. From the ceremony to the reception, the flowers were breathtaking and truly elevated the entire day. Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication made the experience stress-free and unforgettable. If you want someone who delivers perfection and exceeds expectations, Vika is the one!!!!!

Not your average florist!
Vika exceeded all of my expectations, not just with the florals but with her incredible design sense and creativity. When I first started planning the wedding, I didn’t think florals would be something I cared much about. But after meeting with Vika and seeing her vision, I was genuinely so excited. She is not your average florist. She is truly an artist and creates the most unique and stunning arrangements. The space looked more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Knowing she was there to set up the ceremony and reception spaces gave me such peace of mind on a busy and stressful day. Vika was also incredibly professional and communicative throughout the entire process. She responded quickly to all my emails and questions, and was flexible with any adjustments I needed. Working with her was an absolute dream.

Wow Vika is so talented. She has a wonderful creative eye and the ability to listen, understand, and execute a vision. She takes her work seriously and sees through not only her vision was executed but ours as well. I loved her energy the day of our wedding. It’s clear she is passionate with a beautiful attention to detail. And she has just that, a gifted attention to detail that I really appreciate. She prepped me on how, where, what angle to hold my bouquet in photos and down the aisle. She took behind the scenes videos that I would not of been able to review without her.
We just absolutely loved everything she did. My mom’s bouquet, mine, the drapery design. Everything was exactly how we wanted it and more and we can’t say thank you enough.
She comes highly recommended from us.
