Spectacular!
My experience with Sam has been nothing short of spectacular. I found Sam on a whim. I was desperate to find a great florist that fit our vision and budget, but had struck out a few times. After being ghosted by a few florists, denied by some due to the amount of weddings in 2022, and just feeling incredibly hopeless after one late night of searching, I came across Tulihulipoosies. I messaged Sam that evening and by morning I already had a response from her! She was quick to respond every time, honest throughout the whole process, and always kept me updated. She was very intentional throughout the entire process. She helped us come up with a GREAT vision that fit our style, aesthetic, and budget. She never made us feel like one of those had to go out the window. She just helped us figure out how to adjust/incorporate our style and aesthetic in a budget friendly way.
Secondly, Sam is truly MAGIC when it comes to her floral skills! We gave her an overall vision and style, but we really wanted her creativity to shine through. She truly exceeded all our expectations! Every flower had a touch of Sam's personality and ours. It was truly special!
Thirdly, Sam has the warmest personality. She is incredibly calm, bubbly, and fun! She will help you enjoy this process. I also want to commend her adaptability. We had to change plans last minute and move our ceremony indoors, as it was going to rain only for the ceremony, and Sam was quick to jump in and adapt her plans quickly! She remained enthusiastic and entirely joyous! However, she never compromised the style despite the change in plans. The quality of her product remained, even with a ceremony indoors.
Lastly, if you are interested in a Tropical flair, Sam is your gal! I explained to her how important it was for me to honor my Puerto Rican heritage through tropical flowers, but I also wanted it to be elegant, chic, and fit our overall aesthetic. Our colors were very classic and our aesthetic slowly took on an Old Hollywood feel, so I wasn't sure how to tie it all together with tropical florals. But, I knew I could trust Sam and she really accentuated the timeless feel through the colors of the florals (White & Green), but kept it all unique with a tropical flair. You can see the intentionality in each stem she chose for our wedding! Sam truly went above and beyond in bringing it all to life! We got compliments all night on the floral vision she brought to our day!
We truly loved having her as part of our day and could not be more grateful she was our florist! She was as invested as we were, and that brought me so much peace and joy leading up to the wedding. Your big day should feel like a breeze, because you've entrusted it to vendors, who love your day as much as you. I am thankful to say all our vendors, including Sam, gave us the best day and the best decision we made was entrusting them with our day! We will forever be life-long customers/promoters of her business and will continue to be her #1 fans way past our wedding.
I don't have many photos of our florals yet, or I would add them for viewing. But, I wanted to add at least 1 that was sent to my by a guest, while the rest of our photographs come in and 1 photo of the bouquet from our sneak peak photos! Pictured is our Courtyard Center Piece in the reception - we decided to do 1 large, eye catching piece instead of individual arrangements at tables and Sam truly exceeded our expectations! I'll add more photos later, once we get our wedding photos. Second picture is my bridal bouquet (photo courtesy of Art of Reminiscence).
Thank you for everything, Sam & Tulihulipoosies!
