This was the best investment we made in our wedding!! Communication was always very fast and pleasant. I received a call from Semia and did a consultation over the phone (since I lived a little far from her studio). I knew nothing about flowers and just knew what colors I wanted and the theme "rustic." She was so friendly was somehow able to pull together an amazing vision for our wedding with the very little input I gave her.

I later received an email reviewing what we had talked about and she even attached pictures of flowers she was thinking of using. She was also very respectful of my budget and was kind enough to offer less expensive "DIY" options and made great suggestions about making items that could be used in the ceremony and then moved to the reception area.

During the course of wedding planning I made several changes and additions, which Flowers by Semia always accommodated happily.

Since I had not given much direction, I had no idea what to expect the flowers were delivered on the wedding day. I was absolutely STUNNED by how LARGE and BEAUTIFUL the bouquets were. I had no idea how much of a different flowers could make in our wedding. I have been to many other weddings and seen many arrangements, but these were the most beautiful I have ever seen.

We also had an arbor that we had asked them to decorate for our ceremony, and when I saw it for the first time coming down the aisle, my jaw dropped. Beautiful does not even begin to described. Semia also made several small arrangements in mason jars that lined the aisle hanging on Shepard hooks.

All of our guests kept asking where these amazing flowers came from and could not believe how gorgeous everything was. When the ceremony was over, Flowers by Semia took the flowers off the arbor (there was A LOT) and decorated out reception area with them. It was all done when we walked in, and it was breathtaking.

There are no words to describe how gorgeous our wedding party flowers, centerpieces, and overall design were for our wedding. Semia truly listened to my dream, and put everything into reality. When I saw my flowers I was speechless, and it didn't end there. From the hydrangea columns to the gorgeous centerpieces, Semia and her team didn't miss a detail. We still have guests talking about how beautiful everything was, and thankfully we have the pictures to look at often to remind us. Their design was truly the glue that held everything together, and we are forever thankful.

The décor and floral arrangements at my Belle Mer wedding was simply breathtaking. I put full trust in Semia to make my vision come to life and she did just that. From the centerpieces, to the candle décor and the bouquets - it was simply gorgeous. Loved the diamond table numbers as well. I was in awe when I saw the escort table tree - it was even more beautiful than I had imagined. And my bouquet! I wish I could have kept it forever! When it was brought to me, others had tears in their eyes because of how beautiful it was. Semia, along with her team, were nothing short of fabulous. I highly recommend them.

My husband and I knew from the moment we met Semia that she would do our wedding flowers. We sat with her and she just got it.

Flowers for us were the hardest thing because we have both worked in the industry. Semia and her staff were amazing, they worked with us to make sure every detail was perfect and made any little adjustments that were needed along the way.

I was absolutly blown away on my wedding day...my bouquet was perfect the girls bouquets were perfect...and the arrangements in the catering hall took my breath away....everyone was amazed at my wedding day flowers. This is the place to go for out of this world flowers!

Semia and team were absolutely fantastic for my April 12th wedding. The entire planning process was such a pleasure, Semia is so incredibly creative and talented she made all of our ideas come to life. From the church, to the bouquets, cocktail hour, table settings everything was PERFECT! All of our guests are still talking about the flowers. Thank you Semia and team!

Semia rocks! My flowers took my breath away. She is a little pricey, but totally worth every penny. My bouquet probably weighed 20 lbs and was gorgeous! My reception decor was amazing - people still talk about my flowers. I highly recommend her!

Semia is AMAZING. Our flowers were the most beautiful flowers I could have imagined having in our wedding. Semia's assistant was extremely responsive from my first email. I met with Semia and she gave me such wonderful ideas. Although we spent more money than we anticipated spending, the quality of service and of the flowers was OUTSTANDING. Our flowers were delivered on time to the hotel and everything was crisp, bright and beautiful. I wouldn't have had it any other way. Thanks Semia!

Semia and her team went above and beyond for our flowers. The initial meeting with Semia was amazing, her knowledge of flowers and succulents came out in her outgoing personality. You can tell she loves what she does. The centerpiece a were one of a kind, so many compliments. It was a fairytale!

I am still speechless over the breathtaking floral arrangements & designs that Semia and her team created for my wedding. I can't even count how many people have told me that my flowers were the most beautiful they've ever seen. Working with Semia & her team (hi Briana, Katie!) was an absolute joy. I had a broad vision of the aesthetic I wanted for my wedding, and FBS translated that into gorgeous blooms, garland, candlelight, greenery, high & low centerpieces. Their creative genius is truly indescribable. Beyond that, Semia and the entire team are very clearly so passionate about what they do. Hearing Semia talk about florals, you can't help but get excited! It seemed to me that Semia has created an amazing environment for her team to work in, which ultimately translates into a wonderful customer experience and end product in the florals. Lastly, Semia & team helped a lot with my overall design (i.e. thoughts on glassware, linens), which was huge if you are planning your own wedding. And I found that she is very willing to work with you on adjusting things to work within your budget. Go see Semia now! I will forever have fond memories of having FBS as part of my day! The only downside is that I wish the flowers lasted forever :) <3

I recently worked with Flowers by Semia for my wedding day flowers. Flowers by Semia surpassed all my expectations! From the very beginning, Semia and her team were an absolute joy to work with and have such passion for what they do. They were extremely patient with me and helped my vision came alive even more beautifully than I could ever imagine. I truly couldn't have been more pleased with how our wedding day flowers turned out. Exceptionally stunning blooms crafted SO beautifully - words just can't describe how gorgeous my flowers were! Guests were in awe and even guests who don't usually notice wedding flowers were raving about how breathtaking they were. Semia's flowers were definitely one of my very favorite aspects of my wedding day. It makes me emotional just thinking about it. Without hesitation, I whole-heartedly recommend Flowers by Semia for your wedding day flower needs. It was, by far, the best decision I made in the wedding planning process.

Semia, of Flowers by Semia is one exceptional lady! How she translates your vision is such a talent! Her attention to detail and her suggestions to create masterpieces on such a special day is unmatched. Flowers by Semia went above and beyond and beyond to provide a day that was truly spectacular. Flowers were one of my most important aspects of my wedding day and being in the event industry, I had a vision. My vision was surpassed and so much more. The floral arrangments at the reception had my husband and I in awe...we were so fortunate to be able to work with the best!! Semia, thank you for bringing my dream to life!

Semia was absolutely unbelievable. Through the entire planning process she was very responsive she worked with our budget and all of our ideas. When I saw the flowers on the day of my wedding I was in awe! The bouquets and centerpieces were more beautiful than I could ever imagine! Semia was also so creative and saw our vision right off the bat!! I wish I could look at my flowers every day, they were one of my top favorite things about that day. You will not be disappointed with Semia or her work! She is beautiful inside and out and beyond talented!!

Flowers by Semia was amazing and created the most beautiful floral arrangements for my wedding. I planned my wedding long distance, which meant I had to do a lot of planning over the phone. Semia was the only florist I talked to for flowers, and after talking with her I didn't need to call any other places. Our first discussion consisted of me giving her my colors, the venue and my budget and she just ran with ideas. I don't know a lot about flowers, so she started by incorporating my favorite flower (hydrangeas) and then just pulling in flowers that would go with my venue and colors. Her ideas were amazing and I was so excited after hanging up the phone, I couldn't wait to see what she was going to deliever on the day of the wedding.
I met with her once before the wedding to discuss details further and so she could show me some of the flowers she had mentioned on the phone. I gave her total control over design, which was the best because there is no way I could have even dreamed up what she came up with. Plus she was true to her word and stuck close to the budget (even with some add ons that I came up with).
The day of the wedding her team worked their magic. She had lanterns hanging from a tree, and flowers lining the aisle and each table had this beautiful arrangement and candles in mercury glasses. It was beautiful and romantic and I just loved every part of it.
Choose Flowers by Semia, you will not be disappointed!

Winter Wonderland wedding

Flowers by Semia created the most spectacular winter wonderland wedding! We had lots of real trees with gorgeous white flowers and greens surrounding the entire space. We felt like we were nestled in the forest. The escort table was the most beautiful vase of red roses with intricate preserved red roses as the favors.

Semia and her team were so easy to work with and made our dreams of an indoor winter wonderland a reality! Our guest were amazed!

Semia absolutely blew us away. She manages to completely recreate a room with her flowers. Every single guest we had commented on them. She creates full, luscious bouquets and amazingly gorgeous arrangements. She is expensive, but worth every single penny. She's not a florist- she is truly an artist. Amazing at what she does and also sweet, professional and responsive. She went completely above and beyond for my wedding.

Flowers by Semia made our vision for our wedding come to life in a creative, beautiful way. We had collected vintage glass bottles from antique shops in the States and abroad, and Semia and her team arranged them and filled them spectacularly. Simply put, they made our tent look magical.
My bridal bouquet was perfect; they were able to understand my poorly articulated likes and style. It was so beautiful I did not want to put it down!
My husband and I were most impressed by what the team created for our escort card table. The flower arrangement and design (using one of my antique, family trunks and some vintage globes and maps we collected) was breathtaking and set the stage for the reception in a way that exceeded all expectations.
We live abroad, and Semia and her team were fantastic about communicating via email and always making us feel completely taken care of and in good hands -- which we were!

If you expect magic then go with Flowers by Semia. Semia and her whole staff are the most creative, professional people I've had the pleasure of dealing with. Their work is above and beyond amazing!! My friends and family are still talking about my centerpieces and bouquet...I see pictures and I still get goose bumps. She creates a beauty that goes beyond expectations!

I choose Semia from Flowers by Semia because she had done many parties for me in the past and knew she would do a great job for my daughters upcoming wedding. The word "great" is not even strong enough to what she created for this event. She designed every table to be a true masterpiece! She worked within our budget but gave us way beyond what I thought it would be. As I visited the tables that night, everyone talked about the 3 different centerpieces that was created around the room as true works of art. She also created amazing bouquets for the bride, maids, mothers and grandmothers. She incorporated beautiful decorative pins in all of them, even matching our outfits by wrapping the colors that we all wore around the stems. The place card table had a huge tree with beautiful flowers and crystals that you could not help but stare at. If you are a bride that wants a florist who will listen and execute the "wow" factor, Semia at Flowers by Semia is the one for you.

Semia took the time (several times) to make sure our flowers were exactly what we wanted...the flowers were above and beyond our expectations. They were bigger then life. Thank you Semia for creating such an amazing atmosphere for our reception.

Hands down the best florist in the area!!! Semia really captured what I was looking for at my New Years Eve wedding. Modern, elegant, whites, icy, branches, etc. She offered great suggestions and I loved that she used unique flowers!! Every other florist I spoke with wanted to use the "cookie cutter roses & orchids". That isn't what I wanted, I wanted ART. And what Semia provided was ART!! The ceremony pieces were outstanding!! And my bridal bouquet.....so amazing and beautiful!!! I can't rave enough about her, oh, and her williness to offer suggestions or alternatives to keep within our price range. Thanks so much Semia, you rock!!!
