Kimberly B. Sent on 01/28/2022Best florists and coordinators!
We hired Graham Stanton initially as our florists and then as our day-of-coordinators. I had a lot of different rental pieces, things I was bringing, and an unusual layout and vision, so we wanted coordinators with similar tastes and a strong eye for design. Robin and Chelsea nailed it!
First, the florals were so unique and bright. In all of our photos, the flowers truly pop out (in a good way). I wanted something that felt autumnal, a little retro, and would complement the blue venue chairs. They were perfect. One guest messaged me after and specifically commented on how beautiful the flowers were and that she "had never seen colors like that." They also built a really incredible greenery arch for the ceremony backdrop that looked modern, wild, and beautiful. And finally, the centerpieces were varied and gorgeous.
Second, as coordinators, they were fantastic. I didn't have to think about anything except getting ready on the big day. Robin communicated with us regularly the month of the wedding to work out all of the details and let us know any gaps or questions that we hadn't thought of. She also got in touch with all of the vendors in advance so on the day of the wedding, it all went smoothly (or if it didn't, we had no idea!). It was awesome to be able to walk into the space and see that my vision had come to life even better than I had imagined it.
Finally, Robin and Chelsea are just wonderful, fun people to work with, which made planning more fun.
If you want unique, modern, incredible florals and a beautiful, smooth wedding day, I highly recommend hiring Graham Stanton. They were absolutely fantastic! -

Robin was a delight to work with and very easy to talk to. I loved that she encouraged the untraditional and didn’t add any extra pressure to making decisions on what I wanted. The flowers themselves were beautiful, she matched the color palette perfectly and the pictures were tens times more amazing. If you are looking for something original but still classy this is the company for you! -

THE Dream Team
Chelsea and Robin are the real deal. These women worked their butt of and ran with the punches 2020 threw at them and their couples. Who knew what was to come when meeting them in 2019 while planning our 2020 wedding. Because of the pandemic we had to significantly alter our original design plan and the ladies made it happen. We went from a larger scale install to a stunningly gorgeous smaller scale. It was everything I never knew I wanted. Then we did it again in 2021 with a breathtaking reception installation. These women made miracles happen for us two years in a row. Not only did their work blow us away, but their complete understanding and empathy with having to rework our original wedding concept and budget was overwhelming. They listened and offered advice on how to navigate the new plan and also understand budget restraints. More than once did these ladies make me feel okay about the changes and almost more excited to the new plan of action. Not only did I fall in love with their work, I fell in love with them as human beings too. I will always be grateful for the love and compassion they showed me during our planning, replanning and doing it all over again. HIRE. THESE. WOMEN. -

Working with Graham Stanton was an absolute dream! Chelsea and Robin not only delivered the most beautiful florals, they were superstar vendors that made every step of the process easy and stress free. We couldn't have been more in love with how our bouquet and boutonniere turned out, and every single guest was absolutely enamored with the floral arch at the ceremony. Chelsea and Robin took our general vision for the day and created a perfectly executed design more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. When we had to shift gears due to COVID-19, they rolled with all of the changes without batting an eye. We are so grateful for their flexibility, professionalism, and artistic prowess and would recommend them time and time again! [Photo credit: Justine Castle Photography] -

Robin is amazing!!
My husband and I got married this August. I contacted Robin in the beginning of the year asking her If she was available to do our wedding florals and day of coordinating. Lucky for us she said yes! The first time we met in person to talk about our vision, I knew we had come to the right person. Everything she said (wedding related or not) really clicked with us. Her boss babe personality gave us the confidence that she could get anything done, and that’s exactly what she did when it came to our big day! On top of the flowers being more beautiful than I could have imagined, she made everything run so smoothly! I couldn’t believe it. There were many times during the day/night that she came up and asked how my husband and I were doing and if we needed anything. Her and her team were very professional and got everything set up and torn down within our time constraints. Our venue looked exactly how we envisioned it, maybe even better! We could not have asked for a more perfect day, and Robin is to thank for that!! -

Nicole Sent on 11/09/2019Flower goddess and chill AF coordinator
There are so many reasons I recommend Robin for your floral and wedding coordination/planning needs, but here are the mains:
- She didn't bat a single eye when we asked her to take on the florals AND coordination for our destination wedding, which might I add, was also a destination for her.
- She and her new business partner drove the 5+ hours up to Northern Michigan just to familiarize themselves with the venue before the day-of.
- She was receptive and flexible with our budget, and helped us find ways to get the most bang for our buck.
- After just one conversation about our vision for florals, she ran with our ideas and absolutely blew it OUT OF THIS WORLD.
- I was definitely a nightmare with all of my DIY shit, but she never made me feel that way and executed every detail perfectly.
- Throughout the chaos of planning a wedding, and on the actual wedding day, Robin was chill AF. Which in turn, made me feel chill AF. Which, if you need ANYTHING on your wedding day, it's someone who makes you feel like they've got shit covered.
- Last but not least, she's just a lovely, creative, calm force who knows what she's doing, so quit wasting your life reading every review for every single vendor in the area and just hire her. You will not regret. -

Clare V. Sent on 06/24/2019Our favorite wedding vendor (don't tell the others!)
Where do I even start? Robin was hands down our favorite person to work with for our wedding, and we hired some pretty amazing vendors!
Everything started with a phone call. Robin contacted me promptly after I filled out her contact form on her website. On the phone, she asked about our style, any special requests, and most importantly, our budget. She was honest about what she would be able to do within our budget and never tried to upsell, push us above our limits, etc. A few days later, I was delighted to see a complete design proposal and quote. It was everything we dreamed of and more! Robin captured what we wanted immediately, but was still very kind with asking for feedback and edits if necessary. About six weeks before our wedding, Robin did a flower trial for us, and I though that was so cool. It was so nice to see her vision come to life, and she was again very receptive to any changes that needed to be made (which was great, since some our our original ideas had changed!). Our extremely vague vision was transformed into something so chic, modern, and timeless.
Communication with Robin was an absolute breeze. I never waited too long to hear back from her, and I felt that the pacing of her communications was perfect. Not too many correspondences and not too few! Literally the perfect amount. And oh my god, the FLOWERS. I couldn't believe my eyes. All of our personal flowers were hand delivered to us at the hotel where we were getting ready. My breath was taken away by my bouquet. Our reception room looked AMAZING. Robin was also super helpful with making suggestions to repurpose some of our reception arrangements to decorate the ceremony space. It's something that I never would have thought of, and it helped us stay within our budget! The setup and teardown was smooth as could be (she even went out of her way to contact our venue to confirm the schedule) and honestly, it never crossed my mind all day. I had no doubt that everything was being handled perfectly.
I can't recommend Robin enough! She made our day so great and she was such a pleasure to work with. There are so many things to organize for a wedding but I had great peace of mind knowing that Robin had it handled. -

Blaire C. Sent on 07/30/2019A wedding without Robin would be chaos.
I hired Robin to be a partial wedding planner and florist. This included her being my day-of-coordinator, as well as wedding planning help leading up to the day. That title was an understatement. She did WAY more than I ever expected of her, and went absolutely above and beyond what her role was. In the beginning stages of wedding planning, which can seem so overwhelming, Robin helped me take things step by step. She led me to the most amazing vendors, and helped me keep things simple when my brain was overloaded with ideas. She knows WEDDINGS so well, and not just as another day of work. She gets involved in the emotion and gets excited about your ideas and plays them out until the end. On the wedding day, I barely saw her because she was running around making everything run smoothly. And don't even get me started on her flowers. She can do anything. This day would have been entirely chaos without her. She will treat your big day as if it is her own, and I think that is rare to find in this industry.

Robin is absolutely phenomenal and was the total calm in the storm during our ceremony and reception. She was on top of everything and has the perfect demeanor to manage this high-stress environment. I’m so grateful for all her help and insight, we truly would not have seen things go so smoothly without her touch on each step of the process. Thank you Robin!! -

Brittney Sent on 10/28/2018I'd give her an encore if I could
To put it simply, Robin was an absolute dream to work with. I planned my entire wedding from out of state and it was essential that I have someone with experience to run the event and make sure everything flowed smoothly. From the planning process, to the execution the day of, Robin was like my genie. She listened to everything I said I wanted, took a look at my vision board, answered a million questions, asked questions that I didn't know to consider, and made my wedding dreams come to life. There were also times where she filled in the gaps that I didn't realize I had. She was my day of coordinator and my florist and I am STILL swooning over my bouquet a month later. I couldn't recommend Robin more. If you want someone that will listen to your vision and then work with you to make it the best it could possibly be, she's your girl. -

Lisa G. Sent on 11/09/2018Curtsy and Bow saved the day!
Robin is amazing, a life saver, and a hero in my book! One month and 10 days, before my wedding my (I thought) florist stopped communicating with me.... I was at a loss as to what to do. I searched frantically to find a new florist and was having no luck. I broke down crying to my photographer, and she (the other hero in this story) came through with Robin's contact information for me. Not holding my breath, I contacted Robin. I mean, it was a month before my wedding, I knew chances were slim that she'd be able to assist me. I was coming to terms, that I just wouldn't have flowers, or table centerpieces, or ceremony decor, etc...
Robin, didn't even flinch when I told her my wedding was a month away. She has this "All things are possible" attitude, and is so easy to get along with. I basically was like here's my budget, do whatever you can with it... And she did, and then she kept going above and beyond for me. Seriously, she worked her magic and made my venue look gorgeous! My bouquet? To die for! Day's before the wedding, she put together a sign and got a specific flower that my mom associates with my brother (he passed away in 2011) to do an "In Memory" station for him. When my husbands' boutonniere got bumped and became limp, Robin showed up with a new one. (I didn't hear about this till after the wedding day was done and over with)... But that's the kind of vendor Robin is.
She is exactly what you're looking for when putting together your dream team of wedding vendors. I am so grateful for being introduced to Robin, I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her abilities.
If you want to work with someone who can handle it all, while still being super friendly and the kind of person you want as a BFF, then Robin is your one stop shop. She is a wonderful person, so upbeat and dedicated to her clients. When the wedding stresses are strangling you, it's nice to have people like Robin in your corner doing what they can to ease those wedding planning pains.
Robin at Curtsy & Bow is definitely the right person to help you with your special day! -

Jennifer Sent on 11/15/2018Best wedding decision we made
Seriously, hiring Robin for our month-of coordinator was the #1 best decision we made in the wedding planning process. She went above and beyond our expectations, was willing to meet with us any time/any place, even before the month-of that we hired her for, which was an enormous help as we were planning mostly from out of state! She is so so easy to work with, very level-headed and super organized (necessary for being in charge of a high-stress day!), and was always on top of communications back and fourth. She gave us recs when we needed them but also facilitated us styling things our own way which was really important to us. And as we got closer and closer to our day she truly pulled out all the stops and didn't take no for an answer from our vendors when there were details that we really wanted done. As a result, she coordinated a 100% absolutely perfect day for us. I cannot think of a thing I would change and am so happy we had Robin to make it all a reality. I would recommend her to any and everyone planning their wedding in the metro-Detroit area. Plus, she is just an overall badass, cool chica who loves Detroit and what she does for a living. What could be better?!? -

Kendall Sent on 03/09/2023An incredible vendor experience and great team
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Chelsea and Robin of Graham Stanton this past year for a client's wedding in Chicago, which they graciously and enthusiastically travelled to from their home base in Detroit despite the added logistics and planning. When our bride showed me some inspiration photos she was hoping to launch from for her wedding, I immediately recommended Chelsea and Robin and hoped they were available. Thankfully, they were and went above and beyond to take the ideas and vision our client had presented, and deliver something completely unique that was a reflection of their skill sets and also their ability to listen to a client's wishes and interpret how they want to bring a floral presence into their wedding day. Chelsea and Robin are a perfect example of a sort of 'reverse mullet' business. They are exciting and fun, funny and exuberant, cheerful and warm in the front and have these robust, creative, personalities that you can't help but love. And yet in the back, behind the green door they have a very tight business that is professional, organized, efficient, and able to execute a contract exactly as planned. It's a super hard balance and yet they have perfected it. They were able to balance the creative energy of the design goals with the challenges of working within the constraints of a new venue, and along the way made the planning process very easy with a collaborative spirit, oftentimes giving me a boost of support because from their wedding planning experience I knew they understood how important it was to make multiple parties happy - clients, fellow vendors, family members, and venue managers. As an added memorable moment, they took the time on their busy set up day to drive over to the bride's hotel and deliver a floral arrangement to her, something to get her excited about what was to come, and to take home after the wedding weekend was over. This thoughtful gesture made a huge impression on her! She ended up loving everything, from the unique ceremony set up to her bouquet, to the guest tables which truly were maddening to tear down at the end of the night because they were so beautiful. As a wedding planner, fellow creative, and advocate for a client experience that will leave you so happy and fulfilled - I can't recommend these gals and the investment in their services enough.

Emily Sent on 09/28/2017I cannot reccomend Robin enough! She is up to date on weddings trends, outstanding at communication, stellar at planning and on top of everything. Anything that you hire her for is one less thing you will have to worry about. She helped me figure out what I wanted, followed up the entire way through and of course, executed it all on the day of my wedding with absolutely no issues.
