    Beautiful designs and stellar service

    Kay is AMAZING! I was a little nervous to meet at her house, but she is professional and the outcome was worth my hour drive for each meeting. I had a lot of pictures from Pinterest as "visions" but nothing of what I REALLY wanted--Kay made it come to life. She was quick to answer emails and texts and really put me at ease for the setup on the day of my wedding. My bouquet was gorgeous and my husband even commented on how the boutonnieres complimented our theme for the day. Beautiful arrangements by a wonderful designer!

    Designs by Ella Rae's reply:

    Jessica thank you for the very kind words. You had a vision and it was gorgeous. I have an amazing staff that is the absolute best to work with and together we made your vision come to life. We love our work and hopefully it comes through in our designs and service. Thank you again congratulations and best wishes to you and Jayson.

    Everyone LOVED my flowers!

    Choosing Designs by Ella Rae as our wedding florist was the best decision we made! Kay is very responsive and easy to contact whenever you have questions. She really worked with us on getting exactly what we wanted for our budget. Beyond the beautiful flowers she brought to our wedding space, her team also set up the space wonderfully. For any bride who might be second guessing flowers or a flower budget - the flowers enhanced my big day and brought everything together. I could not imagine my wedding looking or feeling as beautiful without the flower arrangements and pieces by Designs by Ella Rae.

    Best Wedding Flowers Ever

    Kay went above and beyond our expectations! We gave her our vision for our recent August 2019 wedding and she delivered. All of our guests complimented how we had one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended! Kay took care of everything from set up to tear down and it couldn't have turned out more perfect. She was professional and always looking to make our lives easier and provide suggestions. She met with us multiple times at the venue and at her house to make sure she had everything just perfect for us. Always quick and friendly with communication. We HIGHLY recommend Designs By Ella Rae, she makes planning your wedding flowers fun and a breeze. Thank you for helping our dream wedding become a reality, Kay! Beautiful job

    Designs by Ella Rae's reply:

    Kylie you and David were so much fun to work with and you really let us use our creativity. You can never make a florist more happy then when you say “we trust you and know you will make it beautiful.” Thank you so much for allowing us to help you create your dream wedding and for giving us such a fantastic blueprint to work from!!!

    Amazing Florist!

    Where do I begin? Kay was amazing to work with!!! From the start it’s so simple with her, she’s so organized, and so knowledgeable in flowers she gave me exactly what I wanted. Kay did my centerpieces (tall, short, and candles), she did my greenery at head table, and also 2 large flower arrangements for my ceremony & 2 corsages for the moms. Everything was so effortless, she explained it all worked with our budget, and she accepts Venmo. Everyone was in awww of our centerpieces at the reception. they look good in her pictures, but omg in person they are absolutely stunning!! Wow!! She’s so organized and detailed too. We rented the vases and she had super easy to follow instructions on how to return and everything!!! We are definitely pleased & happy!!!!

    Designs by Ella Rae's reply:

    Thanks Nicole. You chose one of our favorite color combinations and we feel so wonderful when we fulfill your vision. Thank you again and we wish you all the best!!

    Gorgeous Wedding Flowers

    I met with Kay a few times leading up to my wedding and while I don’t know very much at all about flowers, she took my color palette and overall vision and created such gorgeous centerpieces and bouquets. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were. I couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out. I still have my bridal bouquet because I was able to get it in water and I am going to dry it out this weekend. I’ve so enjoyed just getting to look at the gorgeous bouquet an extra week! I thought Kay priced very reasonably for the quality of her work. She did 14 centerpieces, 4 full bouquets, 3 single rose arrangements for moms/grandma, 11 boutonnières, a unity candle arrangement, cake flowers and a few other single rose accent flowers/greenery throughout the reception all for under $3000. And that included all services, delivery and pickup. I really don’t know how you can beat that! Couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

    Just stunning. I highly recommend.

    Designs by Ella Rae's reply:

    Alison, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We strive to create your vision and stay within budget! Your venue certainly added to the beauty and it is one of our favorites. You were a joy to work with and when you are so happy it continues to make our "job" one we love! Thank you again and our best wishes!

    Cannot say enough great things!

    Working with Kay and Designs by Ella Rae was such a great experience and I highly recommend her to all brides! She was very responsive and on top of everything from booking to delivery. Even when faced with a shortage in roses, she handled the issue with professionalism and urgency. Not to mention the bouquets were drop dead GORGEOUS! Kay created exactly what I was looking for and she was able to capture my vision with only one phone call. Being an out of state bride, there were enough things for me to worry about, so believe me when I say, flowers will be the least of your worries if you give Designs by Ella Rae your business!

    Thanks so much Amanda!! We are so glad you loved everything!! We hoped we would be able to turn your vision into reality. Thank you for such a great review it is truly appreciated.

    Designs by Ella Rae did an outstanding job at our wedding! I could not recommend Kay and her team enough. It was evident from the beginning that Kay hoped to make my wedding day as beautiful as I imagined —and she exceeded my expectations immensely! Kay will work with any budget, and spend time drafting different ideas to help every bride have the most gorgeous day. I received countless compliments on our flower decor, even weeks after our big day. If you choose Designs by Ella Rae you truly will not be disappointed!

    Kay did an absolutely amazing job with the floral details for our wedding in November!

    Working with her was a breeze, she was always available via phone and email. We met in person at her home to discuss the details of what we wanted and the budget we were comfortable in.

    She did an amazing job bring our visions to life. Everything was breath taking and very reasonably priced which was bonus!

    I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a florist for their wedding!

    The flowers for my wedding were absolutely beautiful!!!! I had seen some of Kay's work before so I trusted her with my vision and didn't give to many regulations. She made my vision come to life but better!!! I was absolutely blown away by her work when I walked into my venue. Also the quality of work is remarkable, my flowers are still holding up after a week!!!

    My wedding was on 8/5/17 and I found Kay only a few months prior to that. From the start I felt very comfortable and confident with her and her teams skills to make my day every bit of my dream come true and more. I had a completely outdoor wedding and was worried about flower longevity, but there were zero issues. All the flowers, bouquets, arrangements, etc. stayed perfect for days after even. We did a walk through on the property, which happened to be my sister in law's house, to make sure all of my expectations were met. She nailed my vision perfectly! Guests who didn't know it was my sister in law's home assumed it was a home that was regularly rented to host weddings. Everyone was in awe over the presentation! I would recommend Kay in a heartbeat for any event you are looking for flowers for!

    Kay did a fabulous job designing our flowers for our big day! I gave her a small seed of an idea and she grew it into a beautiful vision. My bouquet was gorgeous as were the centerpieces. I asked her to incorporate my late father's deer antler collection into the centerpieces, simply beautiful. We received many compliments on all our decor which Kay helped to set up...I was worry free!

    If you value the money you spend on flowers Designs by Ella Rae is the way to go. Kay does a wonderful job working within your budget to come up with exactly what you are looking for. We personally gave her a general idea what we wanted for our wedding and let her work her creativity and she blew us away. We were both in tears as we walked into our reception hall and saw the beautiful arrangements she put together for our wedding reception. Kay is experienced and a lovely person to work with. She definitively took a lot of stress and worry out of such a big part of our wedding. 10000000% recommend using Designs by Elle Rae.

    Lisa helped my parents surprise 40th Wedding Anniversary party vision come to life. We had an intimate evening for 15 at a restaurant in Rochester. She was able to incorporate my parents colors and flowers from their wedding to a T. The addition of the votive candles on the table just enhanced the evening even more. Guests could not stop talking about the flowers all night. We had to almost do a raffle because everyone wanted to take an arrangement for themselves :)

    Kay made my wedding dreams come true. I was very overwhelmed by the thought of flowers for my wedding because to be honest, I knew very little about them. I just wanted everything to look pretty, and I can't even describe what I walked into on my wedding day. It was like a fairytale! The flowers and decor were beyond what I ever had imagined in my wildest wedding dreams! It took my breath away, and I couldn't believe it was all for my wedding! The flowers were such high quality that many of them were still alive after we returned from a 2 week honeymoon! The true testament is from the guests themselves,months after the wedding I am still getting compliments on the beautiful flowers and decor! I preserved a lot of my flowers so I could keep them forever!
