Monique nailed our wedding flowers!! We talked over the phone several times, set up a pinterest board and she made it all happen at a reasonable price. We got married in Tahoe and wanted a classic, organic, modern with a little preppy vibe. She got it all perfectly and I loved everything. She was very open to changes and was wonderful about staying in contact as she purchased items as the wedding got close.
I would highly recommend her and her team.Monique nailed our wedding flowers!! We talked over the phone several times, set up a pinterest board and she made it all happen at a reasonable price.

I'm so impressed with Monique of A Special Day Designs! I originally was looking for someone to teach me flower arranging and happened on her website by chance. She offers flower arranging classes for the DIY bride! What a concept! I took the class on flower girl halos and corsage making! She did a terrific job teaching a newbie how to work with the wire, gluing techniques and provided all of the supplies to complete two projects! She even came to my home! It was so much fun and she's so easy to work with! My projects turned out great and I feel confident I can make the flower girl halo for the flower girl at my son's upcoming wedding! I plan on taking more of her classes in the future! I highly recommend her and wish we had found her sooner for my son's wedding!I'm so impressed with Monique of A Special Day Designs!

Monique was wonderful to work with! 90% of my contact with her was through email and she always responded promptly. I never really had a vision just knew that I liked wildflowers and through Monique's questions and Pinterest she was able to give me EXACTLY what I wanted! A few weeks before the wedding we met up at our venue and I told her what decorations I had and she was easily able to work in the flowers and complete the look we were going for.
Many thanks to Monique and her talent! I only wish that I lived closer to her to have flowers from her all the time :)Monique was wonderful to work with! 90% of my contact with her was through email and she always responded promptly.

Monique is amazing!! She went above and beyond my expectations and I could not have been happier and more stress-free on my wedding day. She was so flexible and very understanding with my situation. I'm serving in the military and in the 8 months before my wedding, I had traveled to 3 different countries and 6 different states. I was constantly busy and never in one place so most of our communication was done via email. She really took the time to work with me and check in with me on the ideas I had for the wedding. I showed her a couple of photos and ideas I liked and let her run with it.
When I came to the wedding venue, I couldn't have been more impressed to see everything set up and decorated and to see her creative genius at work. I received SO many compliments on the flowers/decor and especially on my unique bouquet. I can't believe what she was able to pull of with my budget!
I'm really so truly grateful to have had Monique be a part of our wedding. She provided the most beautiful flowers and decor and most of all, peace of mind!Monique is amazing!!

I really enjoyed working with Monique. I had a few ideas about what I wanted (sunflowers) but I really gave her creative license and the bouquets were GORGEOUS. I'm still getting compliments on them. I was initially interested because of the reasonable pricing; and after our initial meeting, I was sold on Monique's vision and personality - which was our main priority in selecting all of our vendors.I really enjoyed working with Monique.

Monique is amazing! When I wrote to her and asked what we could get for our budget, I had no idea she'd be able to pull off all she did! Monique took my bridesmaids' dresses and came up with an amazing idea, and since she blogged it, I was able to show it to my family and friends, which was great. The flowers were inventive and beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about her!Monique is amazing!

Monique was very thorough and open to ideas we had for our Tahoe wedding. Mixing mid-century modern beach meets the Tahoe woods she added her amazing floral touch to our ceremony and reception. We worked very well together via email & over the phone with my husband and I located in Southern, CA. Put your trust in Monique for your wedding day, we did and she absolutely came through.

Monique was amazing. She was willing to work within my budget. I was impressed that she brought a sheet of ideas that included my dress and the bridesmaids dresses to the initial consultation before I had even signed a contract with her. She made extra corsages for grandparents that we did not know were coming the day of the event. She was on time and prepared. The flowers were amazing. I received more compliments on them than almost anything else at the wedding. I would use Monique again for an event and recommend her highly.Monique was amazing.

Monique was wonderful to work with. She has amazing ideas and is extrememly talented. I had a very detailed cascading orchid boquette that turned out better than I had ever imagined. She was on time delivering flowers on the wedding day. And responded back to us very quickly when we had questions. I would definately reconmend A Special Day Designs by Monique Wilber.Monique was wonderful to work with. She has amazing ideas and is extrememly talented.

Very good option for those looking to save money on flowers. There was less flexibility than with other vendors; for example, the colors of the flowers were not quite what I would have liked--but it was a fabulous value and I was very happy.Very good option for those looking to save money on flowers.

Overall, Monique is great to work with - she's sweet, responsive, and willing to work with whatever ideas you have. She was also willing to negotiate on price for several items, which was helpful.
I would recommend Monique for beautiful, budget-friendly flowers, but with the following heads-up: Be VERY CLEAR with her on exactly what time you need your flowers. I told her our reception site was ready for set-up at 2pm, and that my aunts would meet her to pick up the bouquets at 3:30 so we could have them for our pre-ceremony photos. Starting at 3pm I got a series of texts from her saying how it had taken longer than expected to "load the vases in the car" and she hadn't yet left her house (about 45 minutes away). She finally got there about 4:30pm, and as a consequence a) my aunts barely had time to get ready for the wedding, and b) my pictures (which started at 4pm) didn't have flowers in them for the first hour. None. Not my bouquet, not my bridesmaids' bouquets, no boutonnieres.
For me, this wasn't a huge deal because the no-flower pictures that I've seen turned out pretty cool, and the final product was truly beautiful (and within my budget) - but I feel like it's my duty to "warn" future brides that you need to be very specific with her - I have no doubt that if you are very adamant on exactly when she needs to be there (not: "Set-up is from 2-5" and assume she'll show up at 2pm), that she'll show up when you ask.
Overall she's great to work with, just that one thing could've ruined a more, er, high-strung bride's day.Overall, Monique is great to work with - she's sweet, responsive, and willing to work with whatever ideas you have.
