    Shantay is amazing

    If you are looking for someone with vision and also the most bang for your buck, you must hire Expressions of Decor. Shantay is an incredible talent. She helped my husband and I clarify our visions and get on one accord in our early meetings with her. She was incredibly accessible and helped me talk through various ideas leading up to the big day. Our guests thought our wedding decor was incredibly elegant. Shantay certainly elevated our event and we can't recommend her enough.

    Shantay was so nice and was great at hearing what we wanted and presenting options in terms of in-season flowers and alternatives to expensive types of florals. She provides beautiful and unique pieces and has a plethora of vases and decorative pieces. She even gave us the perfect small floral pieces to be put on our cake and always had suggestions when we weren't sure what we were looking for.

    Shantay was a huge answer to many of my prayers! When I reached the point of finally searching for my florist I was stressing about trying to find someone to provide/rent dinner cloth napkins in my spearmint color, table numbers, and pretty much the decorating vision I had in my mind and I was overwhelmed with how I would find what I wanted without spending a ton of many and having to go through a ton of separate vendors or renting business. Then by the grace of God he lead me straight to Shantay. She was the 2nd florist appointment I had and the first one had me terrified that I wasn't going to easily bring this vision of mine to life and I would possibly have to hire a coordinator to help me wrap this wedding planning up. But thankfully everything that came out of my mouth Shantay replied " I got you, I can provide that!" She was so on point and I felt how well she understood where I was taking my ideas. She practically finished my sentences! AND she wasn't nearly the price I would have ended up paying if I went through multiple vendors to bring it all together; she was so reasonably priced. I call Shantay my angel, she did an amazing job, everything I had envisioned she brought to life on my wedding day and even more! The ceremony was PERFECT, the cocktail hour area and reception ballroom were ALL breathtaking! If you're looking for someone who will provide all you need in one BOOK her! She does an incredible job, you will not be disappointed!

    Shante provided flowers and decor for my wedding. Before finding her I visited two other highly recommended florists that did not meet my budget needs and kept telling me what they could not do. Shante was professional and met my budget and exceeded my expectations. She loved my vision and even purchased new mecury glass to add to her inventory to match my decor. I would recommend her to any bride, she is personable and easy to work with, don't hesitate to contact this vendor!

    Shontaye was extremely knowledgeable about flowers, interior design, and decorating. She won The Knots Florist of the year 2011. She was on time for all meetings and even volunteered to meet where she didn't have to. She responded promptly to all emails and phone calls. She was eager and ready to work. She even completed last minute request. I would definitely use her again for any other events. She was a pleasure to work with.

    My wedding day was beautiful and it was because of Shontay,owner of Expressions of Decor. I wanted a theme of diamonds and pearls with simple elegance. How was I going to make this happen without going over my budget? Shontay made it happen! Having a theme of diamonds and pearls isn't cheap, but she worked with me on a budget that I felt comfortable with.

    Shontay, is knowlegeable, professional and listens to the needs and wants of the bride. I couldn't afford a wedding with many flowers, and she suggested using candles. It was beautiful!!!! All of my guests even male guests are still talking about how beautiful the tables were set and the appearance that she gave the wedding.

    Shontay is also creative. Shontay's first challenge with my my wedding was the colors that I wanted. The colors were eggplant, navy and champagne. I thought that I was going to have to give up my navy idea but.... Shontay said, "No, we are going to get all three colors in your wedding." Navy is one of my favorite colors and she included my navy color in the wedding by using navy for the satin tie backs of the covered chairs. The second creation was my bouquet. My bouquet was absolutely beautiful, she asked what my favorite flowers were and she included them in my bridal bouquet(tulips and lillies). The bridesmaids' bouquets are still the talk of the town and they were carnations with hanging pearls.

    Shontay was worth every dime." Shontay is very competent and loves what she does. I highly recommend using Expressions of Decor for your flowers and decor needs for your wedding.

    Gorgeous, Fun, and Flexible

    Shantay was highly recommended to me by a friend and she did not disappoint! All of the floral arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. were beautiful. She also provided our flower girl baskets and electric votive candles, and has the capacity to provide linens and some decor if you'd like. She was very understanding of our budget and made it easy to get exactly what I wanted for the price I wanted. The day of the wedding she executed everything flawlessly! I cannot say enough good things about Shantay's florals and her contagious, joyous personality!

    Shantay was absolutely great to work with and she truly has a gift for putting together beautiful arrangements. When I walked into our venue the day of our wedding I was completely taken back by how spectacular everything looked. From the bridal bouquet to the table arrangements—it was all breathtaking. We received so many compliments on them throughout the night. Thank you so much, Shantay, for helping to bring out the elegance of our wedding with your wonderful work!!

    Being in the wedding industry, its hard finding one person to choose for your wedding decor. I have a lot of friends in the industry, but Shantay is not only a friend of our business, she hit it off well with my Wife. Shantay was able to take my Wife's vision and make it come to life. We told her everything we wanted, and everything we didn't want. Shantay showed us images and pictures of exactly what we were wanting and not having to go through several changes or meetings of trying to get it right. I think Shantay has the experience and knowledge to nail down your vision instantly where as there were other great Decor vendors out there, they just did not have the experience to nail what fit us, or fit our vision! I highly recommend meeting with Shantay for your decor and floral!

    Shantay was very responsive and is very creative when it comes to designing a wedding. Her color coordinating of blues and purples was just amazing and came together at my reception with such artistry. She was punctual for the day of and was sweet enough to come by the ceremony site after the reception set up to show me pictures and make sure it was what I had envisioned - and it was even more. She did what another florist had told me couldn't be done for a fall wedding, and in looking back at my wedding pictures I couldn't have imagined it any other way. Please consider Shantay Long for your floral and event designing - you'll get a great value for truly wonderful services.

    I had the pleasure of working with Shantay while planning my wedding at the recommendation of a family friend. From the very first meeting, Shantay was very professional and knowledgeable. She quickly understood my vision for my ceremony/reception décor and offered helpful ideas. One of the things I appreciated the most about working with Shantay is that she offers way more than centerpieces. I used Expressions of Décor for table linens, glassware, candles, bouquets and all of my centerpieces. Shantay is not only incredibly gifted with floral arrangements, but also with the overall décor. I also appreciated the time she spent getting to know me. She completely understood my vision for the wedding, and her execration on the day-of was flawless. It was such a relief for me to coordinate with one person for all of the decorating details.

    I was also very impressed with the value and quality of Expressions of Décor. Shantay went above and beyond to make my wedding special. She has an eye for detail and thinks of everything when it comes to decorating! I was not able to see the reception venue decorated until I arrived with my guests after the ceremony. I never had to worry about anything with Shantay in charge. I received so many compliments on the centerpieces, and I absolutely loved my bouquet. I'm so thankful Shantay was a part of our special day. She is absolutely wonderful!!

    Shantay was awesome. From our initial meeting to our many follow-up convos and my frequent order changes she was a true pro. She kept us in the loop at every important stage and let us know when she was handling and we could lean back. Two days before the wedding we saw our mock table. There was one element I didn't love and it was evident from my muted reaction. At the time, I told Shantay to move forward (no biggie). On the wedding day, I saw that she swapped out that element for exactly what I was looking for. I have no idea how she did it within that timeline, but it was awesome! I highly recommend her - absolute high quality service and product!

    Shantay is amazing!! My wedding was beautiful thanks to all the wonderful arrangements. All I saw was roses everywhere just how I imagine it! When i first met Shantay I intantly fell comfortable to tell her all my ideas for the wedding! Within minutes she was already showing different samples and pictures of things that fall in the same category of the things I wanted at my wedding. Within a few say she had a proposal ready and I knew she was the one perfect for our wedding! Her knowledge and experience is amazing! She puts so much heart into her job. My wedding day was full of roses just how me and my husband imagined. All my friends and family were very impress with all the decor and said it was a job well done! I can't thank her enough for being part of such an important event in my life.

    Shantay is FABULOUS!!! From the first moment I met her, I knew I was going to use her! She is a master of her craft and was able to provide some great insight on the flowers I was after. She is also a purple and a bling queen (like me!) so did an amazing job incorporating both into my bouquets/center pieces in a beautiful way. She also sets up time the week of the wedding to show you all of the centerpieces in her shop so you can see what they look like ahead of time and make any necessary changes. I received so many compliments on the flowers and it was all thanks to her! I'd highly recommend her!!

    Shantay at Expressions of Decor did an absolutely amazing job with the flowers and decor for our wedding. She took my very vague thoughts and created the most beautiful vision and end result for all of the ceremony flowers, cocktail and dinner reception tables and flowers, and bouquets. Shantay also added additional touches she knew would enhance the design even more, and did a mini mockup of the table a couple of days in advance for me to view to confirm it met expectations. It exceeded expectations! I would not hesitate to recommend Expressions of Decor.

    Best wedding florist! Shantay was a pleasure to work with. She had great ideas and really listened to what I wanted. She provided all of my linens as well. She was easy to work with and had many examples and samples for me to see to really get a feel for what I would be getting. She even added some surprises and added flowers where they were needed just to enhance the event even more. She attended our walkthrough to ensure she knew where everything would take place and to be 100% prepared.

    Shantay is VERY TALENTED!!! Once you tell or show her what you want, she makes it happen and then some. Her decorations, presence about herself, gift of pleasing & bubbly spirit is AMAZING. She made our wedding day one of a kind. We HIGHLY recommend everyone to use her for any occasion.

    Thanks,

    Shantay did an amazing job for our wedding. She provided all of the flowers and decor and my husband and I were amazed at how she was able to bring our vision to life. She was pleasant to work with. She was always nice and provided suggestions/alternatives if we wanted something that wasn't in our budget. She was very budget friendly and was willing to work with us to make sure we got everything we wanted. We definitely plan on using her floral and decor services again and would strongly recommend her to others.
