  Friendly, professional, flexible, and overall fantastic!

  Martha and Debra were both fantastic! Wedding planning is stressful, especially with Covid, and they made everything easier. I gave them a general idea about what I wanted and they were able to come up with a beautiful bouquet and decorations. Martha is on point with planning and organizing. They made my day really special! I would highly recommend these lovely ladies to anyone looking. You won’t regret it.

  My Wedding Day was Perfect!

  Martha and Deb brought my vision to life. We got married 10.19.19 at Meadow Event Park (Meadow Hall). I wanted a simply but elegant wedding and I was so happy I chose Stewart Berry Designs to help make my dreams come true. The loaner program is the bonus to the package I chose with the planner and floral together. Martha's experience with wedding planning is truly a gift and it shows in her work. Deb made my floral arrangements just how I wanted them. My whole bridal party and guest loved our wedding. They also loved how things ran smoothly and on time. I highly recommend them together you wont regret it. Thank you again for your help with making mu wedding day perfect! I added some pictures to show their work and how beautiful my wedding was with the flowers added. The real flowers were added to our cake as well.

  Custom Floral Design & Wedding Planning/Coordination

  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! We met with several professionals in the area and chose Martha based on communication, detail, and price. I am a bit OCD over details, and my husband is cheap as can be, which makes us very hard to please! ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!! When it was all said and done, we recieved much more than expected! The arrangements were absolutely gorgeous! Martha is totally on point and knows her game. She even loaned us much of the decor we used, and took care of absolutely everything with all of the vendors and guests so we did not worry about a thing!!!

  You can not go wrong with Stewart Berry Designs!! I was looking on line simply for flowers.. and actually only bridal bouquet and bridesmaid's bouquets... I got oh so much more!! for a very very reasonable price I was able to have EVERYTHING - lovely signs with sayings "a la pinterest" beautiful decor items!! I chose victorian looking candle holders and pictures frames to hold table numbers and beautiful little buckets to go by the aisle of seats for the ceremony filled with flowers. AND even wedding coordination services!! Debra and Martha worked with me to provide as much as they possibly could for the budget that I had available...Truly I was beyond pleased. The flowers and greenery were particularly lovely for my November event. I can highly highly recommend Stewart Berry Designs for not only a wedding but any event that you have coming up - including corporate events. Martha and Debra were totally fantastic!!

  Martha was a flexible vendor to work with! I originally intended to do wholesale flowers, however the Richmond area does not appear to have much choice if you are not a retailer. I was honest with her what my budget was for florals, and with some negotiating, we were able to follow my vision for my bridal bouquet. Despite Hurricane Irma causing shortage of flowers, Martha was still able to create a beautiful, cascading orchid bouquet. I highly recommend her services.

  Martha and Debbie truly gave my niece Kendal the vision she was looking for. The Flowers were beautiful! We also did the loaner program and I would highly recommend that to any bride. It took a lot of stress off of the bride trying to find things to make her day special. Martha was a huge help with coordinating the entire event. I would NOT have done with out her help. Even though we had a down pour right before the wedding was to start Martha made sure the wedding went on. She helped with wiping down the chairs as soon as the sun came out and the guests could go take their seats. She lined up the wedding party and off they went. :) I would truly recommend Steward Berry Designs for any wedding.

  Martha and Debbie were fabulous. We contracted them for both flowers and Day Of coordination and they exceeded our expectations. They only contract one event a weekend, so Martha also assisted with the rehearsal. The loaner program was a huge money saver - we were able to find so many pieces through them for the decor that we might have ended up having to buy or rent somewhere else. They also offered flower donations, which is something I was really interested in doing. Debbie found everything I was looking for to use in my bouquet and I absolutely adored it.
  
  Martha wrote a whole weekend plan/schedule, and was very focused on making sure it was everything we wanted. We went through multiple edits and utilized Google Docs to edit and share everything - from the schedule, to the vendor lists, to even inspiration photos for centerpieces and flowers. I'll admit, I was probably a difficult bride to work with - I don't have a lot of knowledge of flowers, or really what I wanted in that department, but both Debbie and Martha were patient and helpful in finding my "vision" for the wedding.
  
  In short, they were helpful, on time to meetings and to the wedding, communicative and knowledgeable of the industry. I can't recommend them enough (and have already passed on their information to three engaged couples that I know!). Thank you ladies!

  Stewart Berry Designs took my hopes and visions of my wedding and turned it into a reality! Martha helped me throughout the entire process, rehearsal, and day of coordination, and I truly couldn't have done it without her. Debbie's true talent with flowers was absolutely breathtaking! The entire venue lit up with color, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I am completely 100% ecstatic with their services, and will recommend them to ANYONE!

  My flowers were absolutely stunning for my wedding.
  Martha was such a great help to me in figuring out what I wanted, since I have no knowledge of flowers. She took what I told her, and made me a beautiful bouquet, and my bridesmaids were just as stunning. My mother and mother in law loved their tussy mussy's and the flowers in the aisle were above and beyond. She went out of her way to make sure I was satisfied, and was so easy to work with. Her prices were great. If you want to have beautiful flowers, see them. I got so many compliments!

  Stewart Berry Designs's reply:

  Aida was a lovely bride and we enjoyed working with her. She did make last minute changes and rather than disappoint her we provided the additional items she requested at no charge as we knew she was at the top of her budget. We delivered exactly what she approved on the invoice. On delivery, the order was reviewed line by line with the mother of the bride and it was confirmed as correct. We are so sorry that something was missed - if we had known, we would have corrected it right then. For her bridal bouquet, she had a very long cascade and it was fresh when it was delivered to her. Cascades don't hold up as well in the heat as a hand tied bouquet that can be kept in a water vase, as they do not have a water source. We did provide a mister and instructions on how to keep it hydrated and to put it in the venue refrigerator for as long as possible. We heard that her wedding was beautiful and we wish Aida and Ravindra the very best in the future.

  The flowers were pretty just not real fresh and not in the containers we spoke about. The runner was never put down during the ceremony, as the coordinator, this was missed. My grandmother did not get her wrist corsage. There were alot of items missed that were either included in their floral package or a part of their loaner program that we discussed in our face to face meeting( toss bouquet, groom's boutonniere, cake knife, card box) Some of my guests complained of rudeness. I also don't recall requesting an unplugged ceremony. My day was still wonderful despite all of this.

  Stewart Berry Designs's reply:

  Stewart Berry Designs is very sorry for the miscommunication with this bride. We didn't work directly with the bride, but through a family friend that the bride designated as her "coordinator". Somehow the friend thought that our advertising flyer of things we could make available if ordered, was the actual floral order/and rental list of what the bride was to receive on her wedding day, and did not read the actual invoice and delivery list. She approved the unplugged wedding easel and sign and interacted with the guests. We acknowledge that the bride was disappointed with what she received, however she didn't order nor pay for the items she felt were missing and it was all approved by the coordinator when it was ordered, delivered and set up. We will take this comment to heart and in the future be sure that the bride, and not a surrogate, approve the order, invoice and set up.

  Please take my advice and DO NOT hire them for your wedding or you may suffer the same fate as us. They seem reputable and since they were a team of sisters, where one is a florist and the other a coordinator, we thought it would be great to hire them together. This proved to be a terrible misconception. I will only highlight a few of our issues which resulted in us telling them there services would no longer be needed.
  1. The flowers looked like they were dying and my bridal party was embarrased to walk with them.
  2. The flowers still had thorns on them, resulting in a few people pricking their fingers and bleeding on their very expensive clothes. The colors in the flowers were wrong and didn't match the wedding.
  3. After being scorned about the importance of being on time for the wedding, they were late.
  4. There wasn't any "coordination", our bridal party even had to deliver flowers to the parents.
  5. After we had enough of the lack of "services" we were receiving and told them that their services would no longer be needed, after the ceremony she was so unprofessional that she caused a scene in front of our guests during the cocktail hour. The lack of professionalism was unbelievable.
  6. There wasn't any accountability and the final straw was when she tried to blame the bride for everything on her wedding day.
  
  I rarely do reviews but so many people saw how they treated us that we wanted to make sure no else has to endure this experience.

  Stewart Berry Designs's reply:

  It is unfortunate that Michelle did not complete payment. We understand how up settting that can be but have no responsibility for performance with an unpaid contract. It's impossible to manage a wedding successfully when the bride doesn't pay her bills.
