    Amazing service from start to finish

    From the very first phone call, I was so glad to have hired Tildy Floral Designs. They were thoughtful, responsive, well-organized, and incredibly professional! We received many compliments on their work at our wedding.

    Beautiful and Thoughtful!

    Rachel of Tildy Designs was a joy to work with. From our intial consultation, she and I clicked! She totally understood my vision, worked within our budget, and maximized our quantity and quality of florals. She did beautiful work- we were thrilled with our florals and her personal touches. She was so kind and called in frequently to see how wedding planning was going- asked if we needed anything, etc. She was an absolute joy to work with! So grateful for her

    I do Tildy!

    Absolutely loved my experience with Tildy Designs! When I first started working with Rachel her business was down town MHC but moved to New Bern unexpectedly but it did not put a damper on my experience. She was more than willing to work with me & my budget. Not to mention she helped deliver the flowers @ low cost since she moved. Highly recommend

    Made my dream wedding florals come to life!

    Rachel was AMAZING. Friendly, professional, great price, and incredible work. I could not be happier with how our wedding florals turned out. She truly made my dream wedding florals come to life. I mean, just look at these photos!

    I cannot tell you how happy I was to work with Rachel. It was the BEST wedding planning decision I made. She was my wedding coordinator and florist. Ladies that is the best thing you can do for yourself on your wedding day is hire a wedding coordinator. They take all the stress off and you can soak in everything. The day goes by so fast anyways the last thing you want to do is worry about answering questions from the other vendors and worry if everything is set up, and the list goes on. The flowers and decorations at our wedding was exactly what I was wanting. I provided Rachel with some photos of flower arrangements that I...

    The best!!

    Rachel was amazing from start to finish. I was pretty much clueless when it came to wedding planning but she took as much time as I needed to answer any questions I had and give me some fantastic ideas. The bouquets and boutonnières were AMAZING!! I could not have been happier with them. She managed to take my colors and turn them into the perfect addition to our wedding. Highly recommend!!

    I walked into Rachel’s store on a whim back in February to window shop some bridal and maid of honor bouquets. Rachel greeted us immediately and told us she would answer our questions right then even though we didn’t have an appointment. I am the worst kinda girl. I don’t know anything about flowers. All I knew was I wanted coral colored flowers and that I loved daisies. Even with my vague answers to all of her questions, Rachel absolutely KNOCKED IT OUTTA THE PARK with my bridal bouquet, maid of honor’s bouquet and the small flower bracelets for my husband’s and my mother, as well as the boutonnieres for the guys. I had no idea what to expect,...

    My mom and I did not have an appointment, but went in hoping to see if this was a place to consider. Rachel happened to be free, so she just met with us. We were there for 2 hours. I had a good "general" idea of what color flowers I wanted, but nothing more than that. Rachel is so talented and I love her style; she made my wedding flower vision come to life.I genuinely loved the flowers used,the little accents of greenery, etc. Up to the week of the wedding, she did a wonderful job of communicating with me to make sure we were on the same page for setup, delivery time, etc. My wedding day came and...

    I chose Tildy Floral Designs for both my bridal portrait bouquet and wedding day bouquets/boutonnieres. The bridal portrait bouquet looked o.k, but just not what I had in mind. I emailed Rachel, the owner, and what changes I would like to make for my wedding day flowers...and boy did she listen! My wedding day bouquet was beautiful!! I had so many compliments on it. Even my husband couldn't get over how great they looked. I also had a huge cross that she did an amazing job filling with so many roses. It looked so good. I would definitely recommend Tildy for your wedding flowers!!

    I was lucky enough to find Rachel after a terrible dress shopping experience. I walked in her shop alone and within a hour I walked out of her shop with not only my dream dress but so much more! I had found a dress, a florist, a wedding planner, and most of all a calming spirt in the 9 months of wedding planning. As a bride to be all I knew is things that I didn't want in my wedding and no real plan. With her guidance I had a beautiful wedding and a stress free experience. Her flowers were amazing and provided the venue the feel that I was going for. We wanted to shop local for our wedding and in Rachel found a way to do that and more. She truly is the best!!

    Before finding Rachel, I spent countless hours researching my options in Emerald Isle. She seemed the most experienced, professional, and sophisticated in the area. Honestly I was a bit surprised when she agreed to help me plan a wedding in less than three months. Thankfully, she said yes.

    She also didn't flinch when I told her the wedding venue was a nearby cafe/coffee shop. In such a short period of time, she had to transform a cozy local breakfast nook into our dream wedding venue.

    While I just hired Rachel for floral design, she took the extra time to help connect me with other vendors (music, hair/makeup, cake) in the area and even talk me through...

    My husband and I live in Georgia but wanted to have our wedding in North Carolina because we have many friends and family there and we have a close, personal connection with the state. A friend of ours in New Bern suggested we consider the Emerald Isle area and that we contact Rachel Deere with Bridal by the Sea. This may have been the best suggestion we ever received. We flew to North Carolina to meet with Rachel and we had an instant connection. Even though we were meeting her for the first time, Rachel felt like an old family friend. She was so warm and welcoming. We knew instantly that we had found our wedding planner. Now, coordinating...

    Rachel was outstanding every step of the way. From initial planning, to recommending vendors, to coordinating the day of the wedding, Rachel was a joy to work with. I can't imagine my perfect day without her help. And my husband was highly impressed as well. I would highly recommend her services.

    Rachel did an amazing job on floral and decor for my October 2014 wedding. I couldn't be happier with the end result. It was so fun working with Rachel from start to finish - she had some amazing suggestions throughout the planning process to help me save money, identifying easy projects for me to take on while she did the heavy lifting. Our bouquets and boutonnieres looked amazing and just as I had envisioned. The ceremony space provided just enough decor to make my beach wedding special without taking away from the beauty of natural surroundings. The reception was breathtaking, with beautiful lanterns hanging from the rafters above and tables covered in candlelight to make the environment intimate and cozy. I would recommend Rachel to other brides in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our day so special!

    Bridal By The Sea and Tildy Designs were lifesavers! In planning my daughter's wedding, I realized early on that I was in over my head with planning and details. Rachel to the rescue! She provided links to vendors that I would have otherwise never found from music to transportation! Not only did she provide the links, she actually worked with the vendors to ensure they delivered exactly what we wanted for our events. Throughout our 10 months of working together, Rachel consistently provided sound advice and information with a calm professional demeanor. In addition, Tildy Designs provided the most beautiful flowers and décor throughout the weekend. Rachel's designs are outstanding! She has a intuitive way of determining what type...

    I was planning my wedding while pregnant and she literally headed off every issue before it got to me so I could be stress free and concentrate on my pregnancy and the birth of my son. When I got word that my top choice caterer wasn't going to be able to provide the food for my wedding I almost panicked but before I could even call Rachel, she called me with a new caterer and a tasting set up and ready to go. And the food was amazing! Rachel and her staff allowed me to sit back and enjoy my day knowing all the behind the scenes was taken care of!
