    Pinterest Worthy Florals

    Courtney did an AMAZING job. She is very detail oriented and asks many questions to ensure her client is getting the exact vision they thought of. She created Pinterest worthy works of art!

    Courtney (and all the women who work with her) really listened to what I wanted & my vision. Kathy spent over an hour with me during our consultation before I had even decided to go with VAB. She took my vision and improved upon it while keeping my budget in mind. She didn't try to up-sell me and she was very respectful. Courtney was very patient when I changed my mind back and forth about some things. She was also always very prompt and thorough in her responses to me, I never had to hunt her down for answers! I would recommend VAB to anyone who wants a florist they can trust & not have to worry if their vision will be executed!!

    Her quality, thoughtfulness and vision were priceless.

    With COVID, we had so many uncertainties but I knew our florals would be amazing. Courtney and her team did NOT disappoint. She made my dreams a reality-something I never knew possible. About 2 weeks before the wedding we had to cut our guest count from 150 to 50 due to COVID restrictions and Courtney had to redo all of the plans she originally had for our reception tables. Even though I wish all of our guest could have joined us, the end product of her imagination and work was something I've never seen. She was so patient with me, my ideas and changes, and I honestly looked to her for advice on navigating being positive and continuing forward throughout the pandemic. She was so thoughtful-I just received an ornament containing flowers from my bouquet and the ribbon from it as well, after I accidentally left it at our venue the night of our wedding. I will cherish that gift and what she did for me for the rest of my life. You gotta check her out!!

    Highly Recommend for Wedding Floral Design

    I cannot say enough positive things about Courtney and Violets Are Blue. She did all the florals for my June 2019 wedding. Courtney is extremely talented and provides florals to be reasonable within your budget. Courtney was available to me for planning meetings and very responsive to emails. She was organized and open to modifications throughout our planning process. She truly listens to a bride's vision and wants swatches of colors to get the perfect color match for her florals. Her floral arrangements WOW'd us! From the bouquets, to the centerpieces, to the garlands, fireplace mantels, and cake decoration…all of her floral designs were beyond our expectations. Her rental products including vases, candles, and gold frames also added to the overall beauty. I appreciated her suggestion to donate some of the flowers to the Indianapolis branch of Random Acts of Flowers, who picked up the floral arrangements from my reception venue the next day and repurposed them into floral bouquets for nursing homes, hospitalized patients, etc. I highly recommend Courtney and Violets are Blue Floral Design!

    Gorgeous flowers!!!

    Courtney is an amazing florist! I didn't really know what I wanted for wedding flowers, but Courtney did a really great job of asking about what I liked during our planning meeting. Our wedding venue looked gorgeous decked out in the floral pieces she designed. She designed stuff to decorate the arch under which we got married which looked absolutely stunning. Our centerpieces also looked nice. The flowers on top of my cake looked great. I loved my wedding bouquet so much that I'm getting it preserved so I can keep it forever. All in all, I'm so happy with how our flowers turned out -- you should definitely hire Violets are Blue for your wedding day too!

    One of the best parts of my wedding!

    I cannot express enough how much I love Courtney and Violets Are Blue!!!!

    To start, Courtney was extremely responsive and easy to work with. She was really transparent about my budgetary needs as well, which I really appreciated as I was on a tighter budget. She also set me up with a pinterest page for she and I to put images and inspo on, which was awesome!

    Then the BIG DAY finally came around and OH MY GOODNESS. Breathtaking florals, friends! I received SO MANY compliments on my bouquet, the bridesmaids, the centerpieces ... all of it.

    Seriously, stop looking and just work with Violets Are Blue. You will love it!!!!!!

    Amazing experience and beautiful flowers!

    I can’t say enough great things about Courtney at Violets are Blue. She was so easy to work with from the first time we met . She took what I had envisioned and brought it to life better than I could have ever imagined. The bouquets were beautiful (13 Bridesmaids and then my own!) and every table at the reception was better than I ever expected ! Our guests constantly commented on the flowers as well. I am so happy she was our florist and would highly recommend. Thank you for making our day so beautiful Courtney !

    Highly recommend VAB!

    Courtney was amazing to work with! I don't live in the Indy area, and she was more than willing to help me plan via Facetime and email. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, doing whatever was needed to stay within our budget. The planning process was very simple and organized, as Courtney had all of the right questions ready to make sure not one detail was missed. She even set up a Pinterest board to get a better idea of our wedding style and vision, and absolutely nailed it. Our flowers were beautiful and I am thankful to have chosen VAB for our special day. Thank you for making our day even more beautiful!

    Amazing Job!

    Courtney is truly amazing at what she does! My husband and I used a hotel at a venue and she completely came in and made everything look elegant, and totally transformed the space. Courtney was the easiest person to work with and listened to what we wanted, even when we didn't have an idea ourselves. She was there and keeping us updated the entire time during the wedding. Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and and glad we went with Violets Are Blue!

    Violets are Blue made my fairy tale wedding more beautiful than I imagine.

    If I could give more than 5-stars, I would! I had the best experience working with Courtney and her team. First, I am not the best at identifying or explaining the type of flower and decor look that I like, but Courtney walked me through the process and helped me identify what I was wanting for my wedding. Then she so kindly spent time at a follow-up meeting with my mom (who LOVES florals and decor) where we made a few adjustments and even added in some fun things. Part of my wedding was scheduled to be outside, but due to weather we moved everything inside. Courtney and her team KILLED it with the change of plans. I felt like I walked in to a fairy tale land when I arrived to the venue. The small touches like candles and sprigs of rosemary were exactly what I wanted. Not to mention, nothing was overpriced or unreasonable. I had many people asking after the wedding who my florist was and I was so excited to share with them my experience. Take a consultation meeting with Courtney and you'll see what I mean. She made my day more beautiful than I could event have imagined.

    Courtney is wonderful, and her work was EXACTLY what my husband and I dreamed of for our wedding! It was magical! Courtney is EXTREMELY professional and responsive! She makes you feel like your ideas are important, and is able to work with a smaller budget! We have not gotten our professional photography back yet but here is a little sneak peak!

    Beautiful Flowers!

    I had a wonderful time working with Courtney to decide on my wedding flowers. We met for coffee the first time and started a Pinterest board to share things that I liked. I showed her an image of a bouquet I was in love with and she immediately knew every flower that was in it and how to recreate it. She worked really well with my budget and the flowers for the day were absolutely gorgeous!

    Handles Every Obstacle with Ease

    Courtney with Violets are Blue did such an amazing job on the flowers for my wedding. They were honestly one of my favorite things about the whole day.

    We planned our wedding in three months, so everything was on a pretty tight schedule. Added to the fact that I was planning from out of town and had to do a FaceTime contact meeting with her, and I could still not believe the ease with which Courtney and co. were able to handle my every need!

    I didn't have a super clear vision for the flowers, just wanted them to be jeweled tone themed, and they were everything I ever dreamed! Courtney took my limited ideas and made me exactly what I had had in mind.

    I 100% recommend Violets are Blue for any Indianapolis wedding. We were able to get everything I wanted well within my budget and it all looked AMAZING. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

    Courtney did an excellent job. Everything she did was beautiful and she helped my wife figure out the look we wanted. Courtney was also a logistical blessing as we needed her to travel for our wedding. It was no problem to work things out remotely and everything went smoothly once she landed in Texas. I highly recommend Courtney and Violets Are Blue! 10/10!

    I literally cannot say enough good things about Violets are Blue! Brides: you NEED to work with Violets are Blue!!! When I started my wedding planning journey I was so overwhelmed after talking to so many other florists who were cookie-cutter, old fashioned, and pushy. However, when I met with Courtney she changed my entire perspective on florals- she is so genuinely talented, creative, and down to earth. She literally went step by step with me through every book of flower types she had (literally 10+ books) in order to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, and she made my million-dollar dreams come to life within the budget I had! I was blown away, and you can tell that Courtney is passionate and cut from a different cloth than other florists in Indy. She has the qualities of the most beautiful flower- fresh, springy, and beautiful. Working with her was the easiest part of the whole wedding planning- she took care of everything, communicated so well, and made sure I had nothing to worry about (which is hard because I'm a worry wart). I wasn't surprised when my mother-in-law (who is a wedding coordinator for her local church!) ended up sharing with me that every bride she worked with who used Violets are Blue had the BEST floral arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres. Florals really do impact the entire look of the wedding and it was crystal clear on my wedding day that I made the right choice. Everything was stunning and really showcased what my husband and I wanted our celebration to look like. People couldn't stop complimenting our arrangements, too! All in all, I really loved working with Violets are Blue and wish I could tell every bride in person that Courtney is the right choice for you. I wouldn't change a thing about the whole process and love looking back at our pictures and remembering what she did for us. Thank you, Courtney and VAB, for making our day so beautiful!!!!

    Courtney with Violets are Blue was SO amazing! She was super detail oriented and made note of every little preference I mentioned and was awesome at communicating. On the day of the wedding, everything looked SO beautiful! I was in love with my bouquet and the stunning centerpiece so! She was also able to think on her feet when me made a mistake and had more tables at the venue than centerpieces that we ordered... So she created a couple new centerpieces on the fly free of extra charge. So accommodating and great to work with! I love how she listened to my vision and brought it to life! Thank you Courtney!

    Courtney did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding! I will never forget that feeling when I walked into the room and saw my vision come together perfectly! I had very specific flowers, colors and style and she absolutely saw it through, going above and beyond. The details were incredible - from the mercury glass candles, to the antique gold frame for the seating chart, to the draping of the fabric around the chuppah (wedding canopy). She was so easy to work with and completely open to my ideas and last minute changes too. I would use Courtney again for any event!

    I spent a ton of time researching options for a florist for my wedding. I had an idea of what I wanted, but no clue how to get there. I also definitely had a budget to stay within. Courtney with Violets Are Blue helped make my vision a reality and worked diligently to help me plan to stay within budget. We worked together to determine where I could cut back and where it was important to spend. The pictures I provided her came to life better than I could've imagined. Her response time was the best of any vendor I worked with throughout my entire engagement. I would highly recommend to any bride or event planner looking for thoughtful guidance, attention to detail, reasonable and budget friendly prices, outstanding response time, and all around some of the best service I've ever received as a customer, let alone as a bride. Thank you Courtney and Violets Are Blue!!!

    Whether your a Pinterest bride or the more creative bride, Violets Are Blue Floral Design is who you need to call. We worked with Courtney Wiley and she is amazing! She was very helpful, knowledgeable and she matched our really good taste in flowers with a budget that would work for us. She went above and beyond any Pinterest post we presented her with and she made every part of our day absolutely breathtaking. So much so that my wife and I were brought to tears from our pure joy and happiness of how it all came together. Courtney and her team made our dream wedding a reality from the very beginning. Our guests haven't stopped talking about just how beautiful it was (our wedding was back in August 2016). We are eternally grateful for Violets Are Blue and their amazing talent. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more.

    I would recommend Violets are Blue to anyone planning an event, especially brides. My mom and I knew that we wanted someone that knew what they were doing - someone that was passionate about it. I am overly obsessed with flowers/floral, so I had to have the best! The lead designer, Courtney, was absolutely incredible. We gave her our vision and budget, and she ROCKED it! I wouldn't have been able to do the floral part of my wedding without her! I can't wait until my friends start getting married so I can proudly recommend Violets are Blue! And since I'll most likely be planning them (I'm an Event Planner in the real world), I can't wait to work with Courtney again!

    I absolutely loved my experience with VAB. I had a very basic idea of what I wanted the flowers to look like, but other than that I was lost. Courtney expertly led me through all different color schemes and ideas and ultimately made the most beautiful bouquets I have ever seen. I honestly could not stop looking at them. The handful of sparkly brooches she put in there were the perfect touch to make the whole thing amazing, as well as serving as my something borrowed and blue!
    And then there was the reception.. My goodness it was amazing! Candelabras and giant martini glasses filled with pearls - the whole atmosphere was so Gatsby, I was in love!
    I won't ever stop recommending her, and I'm currently trying to think up another event where I could work with her again on! Thank you so much Courtney for making our day a beautiful one!

    Due to the short planning time prior to my wedding, Courtney and I weren't able to meet very many times, but she was able to create a beautiful bouquet and reception flowers that fit what I wanted perfectly! Courtney and her team were there in a pinch when we needed them and were able to create amazing arrangements!

    Courtney is awesome! She has been very patient with me and all the little changes I keep making up to my big day. She seems to know exactly what I am asking for and has a plan in her mind when I tell her what I want. I cannot wait to see the final outcome!
