    Outstanding wedding florist!!!

    Marie is such a talented florist and a kind woman. She was an absolute pleasure to meet with to plan pre-wedding, and she followed up with me when needed as the date approached. She’s organized, her communication was fantastic, and she was very professional. She showed up on time and did an incredible job with my florals! We were blown away by how her work made it all come together. My mom truly enjoyed chatting with Marie and her husband when they came to clean up at the end of the night. We are sooo so grateful a friend recommended Wild Orchid Custom Florals to us and that we went with them! Highly recommend!!

    The best!

    I cannot recommend Marie from Wild Orchid enough! As the bride, I’ve known Marie for years, and there was no one else I trusted more to bring my wedding florals to life. She absolutely exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, Marie was attentive, kind, and truly listened to my vision. On our wedding day (11/2/24), the florals were breathtaking — they were everything I had imagined and more! Every detail, from the bridal bouquet to the centerpieces, was perfect and beautifully crafted. I’m beyond grateful for Marie’s talent, professionalism, and the personal touch she brought to our special day. Thank you, Marie, for making my dream wedding come true!

    Love you!

    Go with Marie!!

    Marie was definitely one of my absolute favorite vendors throughout our wedding process (and I thought I had a killer team). She listened to all my ideas from start to finish and gave me several options for pricing within my budget. She was so creative and everything turned out even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. She is so easy to work with and feels like a family friend by the end of the process. She also was very kind when we had to add some last minute corsages for some of our special elderly guests. Work with Marie and Wild Orchid-you won’t regret it!

    Excellent!

    Marie of Wild Orchid is an absolute gem! From the initial meeting over the phone we knew we had picked the florist that could make our vision of our wedding flowers come to life! When we met her in person she took an interest in our lives and was so excited to do our wedding which was somewhat more unique consisting of various types of orchids of different shades of purple. Thereafter, every time we saw Marie she would always greet us with a warm hug. When we asked her how we would know how the flowers would look the day of she said all we would need to do was to give her pictures and then we would need to trust her. We did and my goodness did it pay off! The flower arrangements, bridal bouquets, flower lasso, and center pieces were all beyond beautiful. Also, the flowers she added to our cake made it pop! She even gave the event a personal touch and took it upon herself to add an orchid on every place setting which looked beautiful! The arrangements kept well and we were able to use the beautiful flowers the next day for our post wedding brunch. We could not have asked for a better florist than Marie!!

    Beautiful and wonderful experience

    My husband and I got married at Riverside Receptions on 5/29/22 and they recommended we work with Wild Orchid and we're so happy they did! From the first phone call to the day of the wedding, Marie made us feel at ease with her positive energy and was so easy to work with. She was patient with us and answered all of our questions and absolutely blew us away with the flower arrangements she made for us on our wedding day! She went above and beyond with the flowers she chose and captured our vision beautifully. Thanks Marie for all that you did!

    My floral was out of this world !!!

    First off let me say how I instantly fell in love with Marie . Felt like like I’ve know know her for years. She is so passionate about making my day absolutely what I imagined it to be . We had many calls/texts prior to the big day . She sent me examples and I actually found a bouquet I found on Pinterest to show her and turns out this was one of her brides , the exact bouquet. The morning off her team was there bright and early
    To set up early , she showed me my bouquet and the look on her face when my face lit up said it all. She is the bees knees !!!
    One last thing , she worked with me so easily when it came to budget , we took some stuff off the quote to make my fiancé (lol) happy . You won’t be disappointed guys , Wild Orchid made my day absolutely incredible. I’m still getting texts about how beautiful my arrangements were .

    My mom brought over my bouquet and I have it on my kitchen table in a vase , every time
    I walk past it I smile :)

    The most gorgeous flowers I've ever seen!

    I cannot say enough good praise about Wild Orchid. Marie was recommended to me by my cousin after she did an amazing job with her wedding. At our first meeting, I brought we discussed my colors/inspiration photos and I just knew we were in good hands!

    She was also extremely accomodating and supportive when we had to completely change our wedding plans and budget due to COVID. It was such a stressful time, and she made me feel confident our wedding would still be beautiful.

    NOW...THESE FLOWERS. I cannot stop talking about them. They completely exceeded my expectations. They were so gorgeous, I wish I could have them forever! From the bouquets to the breathtaking sprays for our ceremony arch, everything was absolutely flawless.

    I will absolutely recommend Wild Orchid to everyone!

    Marie is amazing!

    Wow. We had so many changes due to the pandemic, and Marie was able to pull everything off flawlessly. We had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and lush our fall florals were. It was a total dream! I told Marie I wanted lush, greens, whites, and a touch of Fall, and she made it look so beautiful.

    A lovely experience with Wild Orchid Custom Floral Design

    I met some lovely florists in the area for a June 2020 wedding, but when I met Marie at Wild Orchid there was no contest, she is so easy to talk to, you will feel like you made a new friend! She is overflowing with ideas and suggestions to make your vision come to life. Marie was prompt in returning phone calls, emails, and texts. Most importantly, she helped us stay within our budget and had many ideas for us to get the most out of that budget. The wedding had to be postponed due to COVID-19 and a change in military orders but Marie went above and beyond to accommodate our circumstances. When we can make this wedding happen we plan to call Marie.
    We 100% recommend Marie at Wild Orchid Custom Floral Design.

    Still talking about them 5 months later!

    My daughter interviewed several florists and looked at their flower designs. She decided that Marie had the most beautiful flower. Marie did phone meeting with Suzanne in the early stages and then met with us when our daughter visited from MT. Marie was very attentive to detail and suggesting flowers that would be available at the time of year. Marie only does one wedding a day and brings extra flowers to make sure all is perfect for the bride. She even went to the hair dressers shop to make sure the floral crown fit properly and was what Suzanne wanted. She moved the flowers from the church to the reception venue which was only 3 blocks away and set everything up. It was perfect.
    We had so many wonderful comments on the flowers. We gave the center pieces and arrangements away to people who didn’t need to travel far. We had comments later about how the flowers lasted for 2 weeks. My elderly neighbor let hers dry and still has them in a vase! She loves how they look even dried.

    Totally awesome!

    Wild Orchid created the floral arrangements for our son's wedding. We were amazed at how beautiful everything was from the wrist corsages to the flower girl's crown to all the beautiful flowers that adorned the ceremony site. Everything was perfect! When we walked in to the reception we couldn't believe our eyes! The table arrangements were absolutely stunning! Marie took special pains to make sure every detail was covered and the guests were commenting on how gorgeous everything was. I would highly recommend Wild Orchid.

    Show Stopper Flower Arrangements!

    My heart is SO full. My new husband Andrew and I (Eee!) couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Marie and Wild Orchid is absolutely amazing! She helped me cast my vision and cares so much about the little details to really help make our day super special. When we walked into the ceremony and reception, I felt like I walked into a fairy-tale wedding. She completely exceeded my exceptions. Marie, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You helped make our day one that we will NEVER forget. Your work is amazing, energy is contagious and your keen eye is just the icing on the cake. Fantastic work. 10/10!!

    Outstanding!

    Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! There are NO words to describe the outstanding service, professionalism, creativity, attention to every detail, and little extra touches that went above and beyond what we even agreed to. Marie and Tim Pauly, and her team outdid themselves and knocked everything out of the park! The communication between us was ongoing, respectful, and never once did we have to worry about one thing on our special day. Wild Orchid without a doubt made our wedding day the best it could have been. I am proud to pass them on as an excellent recommendation to EVERYONE! You will NOT be disappointed. Thank you so so much Marie and Tim for all the love and care that you put into making our wedding day so special and beautiful. We love you!

    Highly recommend booking with Wild Orchid

    I will start by saying I HIGHLY recommend booking Wild orchid for your wedding!! Marie is AMAZING! I saw pictures of Marie’s work online before meeting with her and was already very impressed from what I saw online. After meeting with her I knew I wanted her to be my wedding florist. The pictures of her work is gorgeous but to see my vision become more than I could have ever dreamed of is beyond words! All of my guests and bridesmaids were commenting on how gorgeous the flowers were and how great the room smelled from them. Marie is so talented, easy to work with, helpful, and one of the nicest people I have ever met. She was always available via email, text, or call. I changed my vision as I was planning and she was so helpful and even met with me again to make sure everything looked the way I wanted it to. I cannot say enough positive things about her and the beauty of her work! Highly recommend booking with Wild Orchid!!

    Thanks for making our wedding day stunning!! I would highly recommend Wild Orchid to anyone!

    Way Beyond our Expectations!!!!

    Marie is a pleasure to work with. She makes the whole process easy and fun. Her flower arrangements were absolutely stunning. She transformed our venue into something out of a fairy tale. The flowers she used are top quality and unique. She jam packs her arrangements with flowers and they are truly works of art!! We received dozens of compliments from guests and staff at the venue. Don't hesitate for a second about going with Wild Orchid. Start planning early and book her immediately because she will book up fast!!

    Beautiful flowers & creative florist!

    Marie at Wild Orchid was amazing! From day one, she was extremely helpful. She dedicated a lot of time working with me to ensure my vision successfully came to life on my wedding day. She had a lot of great suggestions and truly understood what I was envisioning. She made herself available in the months and days leading up to the wedding to discuss floral arrangements and make sure everything was perfect. On my wedding day, she brought her team with to step up all of the flowers at the venue -- it came together more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! I highly recommend Marie at Wild Orchid -- thank you Marie for making my floral dreams come true!

    Elegant, classy and showstopper

    When we met with Marie she asked me how I was my wedding to be described as, and I told her “ELEGANT, CLASSY, and SHOWSTOPPER”! My dad is an avid gardener and I love sitting in his patio and smelling the different scents that his flowers give off and I wanted that same feeling when I came into the venue. Boy, did she ever come through for me. If there was anything I wanted to splurge on, it was on the flowers and it was so worth it! My cascading bouquet was over the top! I absolutely loved it! I had requested that she put the flowers on our cake and it was so beautifully done that it looked majestic. My family has not stop raving about how royal our wedding looked and that was because of the work Marie and her team did. Marie got to know me on a personal level and I know that that helped to see what I had envisioned for our special day.

    Thank you so much for your amazing work and I wish you all the best! Looking forward to having another event where you can do more arrangements for us.

    Marie came highly recommended by my wedding venue. After seeing her website and pictures of her stunning work, I knew I needed to meet with her. Upon meeting Marie you can just feel her genuine, sweet personality come through. Her passion for what she does is just spectacular to see. I had no doubt in my mind, I knew she would do the absolute best work for my special day. The wedding day finally arrived and when Marie came with the flowers I was just overwhelmed with excitement. They were even more beautiful that I imagined they would be. Her hard work and dedication to her clients is so heart warming. You can tell she loves what she does. If you are in need of a florist, look no further, this lady is amazing <3

    Marie is an incredible florist who creates such life in her arrangements. She is eager to work with you, gives an honest opinion, and stays within the budget you allot. From day one, we knew Marie would be the best fit. She walked us through multiple examples that were exactly what we were hoping for. Throughout our planning time, we met up with Marie several times to go over logistics and ask questions. She was always willing to update our contract and show examples of how our ideas would piece together. Marie went above and beyond to make our wedding exquisite and beautiful. I would highly recommend Wild Orchid for any special event that requires floral arrangements, we will definitely be coming back!

    Marie Pauly at Wild Orchid is an amazingly talented, creative florist and a truly wonderful woman! I gave her a few inspiration photos and my wedding colors, and what she came up with was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!

    My cascading bridal bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres were absolutely STUNNING! Marie also created the most breathtaking and romantic tablescapes at our reception; I can't tell you how many compliments we received from our guests. I also love that she recommended putting sprigs of evergreen at each place setting—it shows that she truly cares about every detail!

    If you are searching for a florist for your wedding, look no further! Marie is simply the best!!

    Marie was phenomenal!! She had her daughter and husband help out and they surpassed every expectation we had. 2 weeks before the wedding we requested a petal scroll for the aisle and she didn’t even question the timing (even though hurricane Maria was making last minute deliveries tough). We feel like Marie is part of the family now and whenever we have a floral need we call her.

    I chose to book Marie for my wedding because she did the flowers for my cousins wedding and they were absolutely beautiful. 2 years later it was my turn to book a Florist. I had only one in mind. Marie was the only Florist I met with because I knew I'd be happy. I think she personally handpicked these flowers from heaven because they were the most stunningly beautiful,flowers I have ever seen! I was brought to tears when she delivered them to me at the church. I couldn't be happier and I wish I could have kept them alive forever. Marie was an absolute pleasure to work with and she treats you like family. It's no secret that she loves what she does. It is truly reflected in her work. If you want perfection for a reasonable price look no further!!

    Marie is hands down a phenomenal florist and has a warm, welcoming personality to go perfectly with her amazing skills! It was a pleasure working with her on my wedding. Communication with her is super easy and she goes above and beyond to make sure your ideas come to life. She is extremely accommodating to your needs and the detail in her work proves just that. When I first saw all the decor in place it gave me goosebumps, not only because of how beautiful it was but because it shows how much love and effort Marie puts into her work to make your day magical!

    The ceremony decor, reception arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, flower crowns...EVERYTHING was PERFECT!! She made my dreams come true with a beautiful floral design down the aisle and all my guests have not stopped talking about it.

    I highly recommend her for any event because she is a very talented woman who will without a doubt put a huge smile on your face! Thank you SO MUCH for all that you have done!! Words will never truly describe how grateful I am!

    Seriously the best florist around. Marie EXCEEDED our expectations with the flowers. The flowers are a detail of my wedding I will never ever forget because they were absolutely stunning. She even incorporated part of my mom's wedding dress to wrap my bouquet in!

    I was planning this wedding from across the country and the team was patient and flexible. I wassnn't 100% sure what i wanted as far ass colors went and Marie completely took the lead and guided me, without disregarding what I wanted and our budget. She sent me photos and I sent her some photos I had saved as well so she could work off of those. When I walked into my venue the day off i was astonished on how amazing it looked. I couldn't have been more thankful and happy.

    Marie was AMAZING to work with! When we first met I had a few pictures of arrangements I found online that I liked. Talking it over with her I could tell that she knew what I wanted before I knew what I wanted! As I explained thing she made them seem so real, and I felt totally comfortable trusting her to make my wedding as amazing as I imagine. She answered my e-mails promptly and helped me make sure that I was within the budget that I wanted to be. When things got closer and I needed to make a last-minute change or correctly to my proposal she was more than accommodating. When the day came I was not disappointed, she came to set up everything and even stopped by to tell me congrats and drop off the bouquets. What I actually saw on the day was so much more than what I imagined. If I had to do it over, there would be no doubt that I would hire Marie again, without question! I would highly recommend her in an instance to anyone and everyone!

    Marie was wonderful to work with. Very easy to talk to and she understood what I was looking for and was willing to work with my budget. She's also extremely understanding, we ran into an issue with my venue and she was a great sport about it and everything was handled quickly.

    Working with Marie was one of the easiest aspects of my wedding. From the moment I met her and gave her a vague/brief description of what I wanted she was able to build and create beautiful outcomes with no extra work on my end. After my initial meeting with her I knew I could trust her and her work (I mean, just look at her photos!). I have also attended (not knowing) weddings she has decorated and they were just as beautiful! She was extremely flexible with my budget and it was very apparent she loves what she does. I felt completely comfortable to let her work her magic and it did not disappoint! The day of, she was on time and completely prepared. She did all set ups and transfers which was 100% worth it; I never once worried about flowers! When I walked into my church and then again at my reception, I was blown away with the colors and arrangements. She was able to visualize all of it and it all turned out perfect. I could not have asked for a better florist for my wedding, just beautiful! Highly recommended!

    Marie did a FABULOUS job with the flowers and decor at our June wedding at a winery/vineyard. She went above and beyond what anyone could ask for. She met with us countless times when we had questions and was able to guide us in the direction of colors and themes for the venue we chose. In addition to the flowers, she also provided beautiful candles, table numbers, and picture frames to use. She is truly a beautiful person inside and out and her work is definitely 5 stars! Thank you Marie!!

    Marie was wonderful to work with and listened to our ideas. She spent a lot of time with us and assured us everything would turn out awesome. And, the flowers were awesome. I did compare prices with two other local vendors and I believe Marie provided us with more flowers for less money than the other two vendors. Couldn't have been happier. Will definitely use her again.

    Marie was truly wonderful to work with. I was not sure what I wanted for flowers, but after our conversations, Marie was able to figure out what was perfect for me and my venue. She took my budget and made the most of it with almost no direction from me (because I wanted her to be the creative genius. )
    The bouquets were fabulous and the centerpieces were to die for. All of my guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were and how they really reflected me and my personality.
    I cannot thank Marie enough for her work! I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to use her for your wedding!

    Marie was absolutely wonderful! She completely nailed our autumn vision with beautiful flower arrangements, lanterns, wood slices, and tall twig arrangements with flowers and tea lights. Everything was stunning and we received so many compliments! I especially appreciated how Marie was so attentive to my budget and helped me stretch it by using less expensive flowers in the bridesmaids bouquets while using the more extravagant flowers in my bridal bouquet. Marie also did beautiful arrangements for my bridal shower, using pastel versions of our colors in teacups. I have recommended Marie to other brides and will continue to do so, and will definitely contact her for future events!

    Marie is an amazing and wonderful person and she is great at what she does. From experience, planning a wedding can be very stressful at times. For example, the decorations and flowers were probably the most stressful part in planning my wedding. After meeting with Marie and with her help, my stress level was reduced and I was able to relax. Marie is very flexible and easy to work with especially if you are one on a budget. My husband and I were extremely happy with how everything turned out and would have not changed a thing. I loved my bouquet so much that I had it preserved. We would highly recommend Marie for your next event. You will not regret your decision.

    Wild Orchid Custom Floral Design made my daughter's wedding beautiful! Every bouquet, corsage, boutineer, center piece, church arrangement, pew flower arrangement and flower girl head wreath was wonderful! The owner, Marie, is a delight to work. We really appreciated how quickly she answers emails amd phone calls. Everything on the wedding day was set up on time and to perfection. I highly recommend this florist.

Some of the flowers I wanted were not in season and she improvised with comparable flowers that still made the bouquets look amazing! We received so many compliments on flowers and how beautiful it was. I also gave her my budget and she was able to accommodate everything I wanted within my price range. Marie is a joy to work with. I will be using her for future events as well!

    Marie was incredible. I am not one of those people who dreamed of their wedding since they were little. I had no clue what kind of bouquet or flowers I wanted, in fact I had no clue what kind of wedding I even wanted. Marie was able to look at my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses and put together some ideas.

    When it came to the day of the wedding she totally blew me away. She surpassed my expectations. I wish I could of frozen time and had more time to enjoy how beautiful all the flowers were. I had so many compliments on all the floral arrangements; they really were all the decoration we needed. I will definitely be using Wild Orchid again!

    Marie Pauly is a talented and energetic person. She has such a wonderful talent that everyone should experience on their special day. From day one Marie was amazing to work with. She took our ideas and brought them to reality. Not only did she know exactly what we wanted, but she also added her incredible touch to enhance my visions. From the moment I saw my banquet I knew I had chosen the right florist. Another important quality of Marie is she cares about your day just as much as you do. You can tell by the work that she does, she puts her heart and soul into it. We would also love to thank her for her knowledge. She knew what flowers were going to be the best during that time of year and made sure that we were getting the best quality. My flowers lasted longer than we imagined. Please take our advice and choose Marie Pauly, owner of Wild Orchid Custom Floral Designs! You will not regret it!

    Marie was absolutely AMAZING to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better florist!! Being out of town made wedding planning tough. Marie was always able to arrange a meeting with us when we came in to town, and went above and beyond to help me keep track of all my wedding planning. Not knowing much about flowers, I showed her a few pictures and trusted her expertise. On the day of, I was speechless when I saw my bouquet and the room. Everything from the escort table to the center pieces were amazing. The venue even told us they have never seen the room this beautiful. She pays attention to detail, is great to work with, and truly loves what she does.

    She is also starting to do invitations and other fun party supplies ( cocktail napkins w/ fun facts on them) that we went through her for. They came out FANTASTIC! It was wonderful to just work with one person for all this. She additionally had fun props for a photobooth, and extra frames for table numbers. All in all, she is an incredible florist and friend, and made our day wonderful!

    Marie was absolutely amazing to work with! She had so many great ideas and was so helpful. She seemed to know exactly what I wanted even when I didn't! She set up the night before my wedding and the next morning the flower had wilted due to the hotel turning their AC off at night, neither of us knew that! We called her and she came and re-did my centerpieces immediately, no questions asked! I loved working with Marie and would highly recommend her to any and all Illinois brides!!

    Marie was fabulous to work with! She has a bubbly personality and you can really tell that she loves her work. This enthusiasm translated into gorgeous decor at our wedding! She listened to our vision for the wedding and "ran with it" to create the most unimaginable reality! We were so extraordinarily happy with how all of the flowers, lanterns, and bird cages came together for our wedding. We would highly recommend using Wild Orchid Floral Design for any event needs. Marie was a dream to work with and we consider ourselves so lucky to have found her!

    I cannot express in words how incredible it was to work with Marie. From our first meeting I knew she was the right florist for me. Full of energy, full of ideas and it is evident how much she LOVES flowers and LOVES weddings. I could probably have been considered a tricky bride for most because I had NO idea what I wanted for my flowers- I just knew what I didn't want. But Marie was so patient with me and very flexible even as my ideas seemed to contradict themselves at times. I am not a visual person when it came to visualizing how each individual flower we were picking out would come together, but Marie was spot on with her recommendations. The flowers she put together were exactly what I was trying so hard to visualize! We received SO many compliments on our flowers, and I am still receiving compliments on them 6 weeks later!

    I went to several other vendors prior to meeting Marie simply for price comparison, and Marie's prices beat all of them! My mother and I both agreed after our initial meeting with Marie that price was NOT the reason we chose her though. Check out her Facebook page and you will see why! Thank you so much Marie for making our wedding beautiful!

    Throughout the planning process, I could not be happier with Wild Orchid Custom Floral Design. Marie truly knows what she is doing and can adapt to any style and vision. She offered several unique and creative ideas that I never thought of before, but loved. Not only is she talented, but her enthusiastic and positive personality make her a pleasure to work with. Throughout the day, I heard so many compliments on all of the flowers and would truly recommend her to anybody.

    Marie is wonderful to work with. She understood the vision wanted for the wedding and pulled it all together. The colors, the decor, the little extra touches were perfect. She is not just a florist, she truly has so much talent and can help you with so many details. We were so fortunate to find her. I would highly recommend Wild Orchid Design for anyone planning a wedding or any other event!

    Marie was perfect! I wanted to be able to just give her my vision and not have to worry about micro managing her. I was able to do just that. We wanted to go with a more Earthly theme and she completely got it. Marie went over and above, she even helped set up my cookie and candy bar. I received compliments galore from the guests.

    Everything came together perfectly!!!! Couldn't have done it with out her...

    If I could give Marie at Wild Orchid a higher rating than 5 I would. My flowers were absolutely amazing and everything I dreamed of. Marie is a pleasure to work with, in fact it is upsetting to me that I will not be speaking to her weekly anymore. She is always professional and has many of wonderful suggestions to make your special day beautiful. Ladies – trust her suggestions. She is passionate about her work and will not treat you like only a paying customer but a friend. I have already been recommending her services to all my friends.

    Marie we love you and hope to keep in touch. Thank you for all you do!

    I can't begin to describe how wonderful Marie is to work with. She is a ball of energy with so many wonderful ideas! Flowers were one of the things I didn't really care about at the start of the wedding process, but after talking to Marie she helped me see how they can be used to add those beautiful touches and colors to my wedding theme. All of her arrangements were simply gorgeous and fit perfectly with the romantic vintage look I was going for. There are not many businesses that take the time to get to know their clients, but by the end of our wedding, Marie felt like an old friend. She truly loves what she does, and it shows through her attention to detail and her desire to make all your wedding dreams come true. It would be foolish not to pick her as your florist!

    Wild Orchid could not have possibly provided us with a better experience. Marie was as helpful as anyone involved in our wedding, and she was a huge part of our big day. She was extremely experienced, accessible, flexible, and fun to work with. Not being experts on flowers ourselves, we asked for a lot of advice rather than having a lot of pre-conceived ideas. When we asked for suggestions, we relied on her expertise and it led to great results. She was able to seamlessly incorporate the ideas we did have with her own ideas, and it turned out better than we had even imagined. Our wedding was outdoors on a farm, and Marie's flowers and other materials were the perfect complement to an already beautiful setting. We also used Wild Orchid to help decorate for our wedding shower, and that was a great experience as well. We could not more highly recommend Wild Orchid for any occasion; you will not be disappointed.

    Deciding to hire Marie was one of the easiest and best decisions we made in planning our daughter's wedding. Marie was incredibly easy to work with, responsive to the point of intuitiveness in regard to the vision my daughter had of her wedding, and I don't know that I've ever seen anyone work harder to make sure everything was perfect. Marie's work went beyond flowers and bouquets, to staging an absolutely beautiful country chic wedding atmosphere. She was fun to work with and almost as excited about the wedding as we were. Wild Orchid was a dream to work with!

    My fiance and I choose Marie as our florist from friend recommendations and it was SUCH a great decision. Marie is soo sweet and outgoing. I couldn't image a better florist. She was so detail oriented and really knows her flowers. I know nothing about flowers so I came to Marie with some pictures and visions of what I wanted and she thought up the most beautiful arrangements for my bouquets, center pieces, and escort table. I know she was going to do an excellent job but when I saw my bouquets and walked into my reception hall I was blown away by how she exceeded my expectations. I absolutely LOVED Maries' work I would definitely recommend Wild Orchard to all of my friends and family!! Thanks Marie!!!

    Marie is a phenomenal florist! She listened to everything we wanted, and made it even better than we imagined. She stayed to help set up everything in the reception hall, and made sure everyone had the arrangements they were supposed to have.

    She's the most passionate florist we've ever met, and a joy to work with!

    Marie at Wild Orchid did an amazing job on my wedding flowers. She came highly recommended by Acquaviva Winery. I only spoke with Marie, I never actually met with her. I explained what I (thought) I wanted and left the rest to her. I was awed on my wedding day at how absolutely perfect the bouquets and centerpieces turned out. She did not let me down, she's a professional and exceptional at her craft.

    We gave Marie our general ideas and she went way beyond our expectations. Her decorations were so beautiful, we were awestruck. My bouquet was just gorgeous, we are having a portrait made of it to hang! Marie was a delight to work with and we couldn't have been more pleased with the results.

    It was wonderful working with Marie in the planning of the floral arrangements for my daughter's wedding in November. My daughter selected the color plum for her attendants' dresses, and she wanted accents of orange, plum and fuchsia for the flowers. I wasn't excited about using orange as an accent color; however, Marie did a superb job of blending all the colors together and all the flowers were absolutely gorgeous. She was so excited about how she could do the table arrangements for the reception and she followed through as promised. Marie is so personable, and she works with your ideas as if she were doing it for herself. We received many compliments on the flowers. Thanks for all your work, Marie! Pat Smith

    Marie is wonderful! She was so attentive and helpful with our floral arrangements and even with other odds and end suggestions, etc. leading up to our special day. She even helped me with items needed for our cake and cupcake display.
    The flowers, candles, etc. used for our wedding and reception looked AMAZING and made me cry they were so beautiful!
    I would recommend her to anyone I know and would use her again for any party/event!! She made our day even more special and unique!!

    We had a wonderful experience with Marie at Wild Orchid! We met with her for a consultation without knowing much about flowers, and Marie was able to decipher our descriptions of what we wanted and put together a beautiful arrangement. She was available to talk to whenever we had questions on anything, and she did a great job figuring out what type of look we were going for and she was able to fill in the pieces without having to bug us with minor details. We weren't totally sure what to do on our place card table, so Marie said she would "work her magic". When we got to the reception we were amazed at what she had done! The flowers were better than we could have imagined, and we've gotten countless compliments on how beautiful it all was. Everything from the flowers for the wedding party, to the place card table, to the reception, it was all PERFECT. We couldn't have asked for anything better, and we will definitely be recommending Wild Orchid to friends and family!

    My wedding would have not turned out the way it did if it were not for Marie. Not only did she give me peace of mind (especially when I was my own wedding planner and everything in between), but captured what I wanted perfectly on my tight budget. Everything was beautiful; no words can describe my experience and gratitude.

    WOW Marie was amazing, better than amazing, FANTASTIC! My wedding bouquet turned out exactly what I wanted. It was simply breath taking. She was able to create what we wanted just by our explanation of our vision. Everyone was blown away by her work. Also, her center pieces are something our guests are still talking about. They made the room. What was so cool about it was she took some of my mothers greens from her own garden, (the house that I grew up in) and incorporated them into my bouquet and some other pieces. Talk about sentimental :) We would recommend her to ANYONE who wants to make a great impression at their wedding. Marie is so friendly, so accommodating, and very timely. Plus, her and my mom became instant flower buddies. Thanks Marie!!!

    Where to even start with how AMAZING Marie was at my wedding! When I met with Marie to go over the flowers for he wedding I had NO IDEA what I wanted! She kept telling me names of flowers and I would have no clue, so she would show me pictures and I would still have no clue! I admittedly know nothing about flowers and what looks good together so I pretty much gave Marie fee reign. I told her the colors and the general feel of the wedding and she jumped right in and knew exactly what to do! I could not have asked for more beautiful flower arrangements. Everyone at my wedding commented on how gorgeous they were. I feel like the flowers really made the whole wedding to come together.

    Not only is Marie an extremely talented florist, but she is also on of the most kind and caring people you will ever meet. She treats every bride as if they were her own daughter and works extremely hard to make sure you get exactly what you want on your day and that everything is perfect! She showed up VERY early to start putting the reception room and ceremony site together and was meticulous about each detail. She does more behind the scenes than you will ever realize. Anytime I had a question (even if it wasn't flower related) I felt comfortable calling Marie and asking her opinion. When I couldn't decide on linens... call Marie, not sure what colors go best on the escort cards... call Marie, what should I use to put my cards in... call Marie. She always had the perfect answer.

    My wedding ended up being more beautiful that I had ever imagined and it was due in large part to Marie. She managed to see my vision even when I didn't know what it was. She made sense out of the crazy things I told her and made the wedding feel very "Me"

    Without hesitation I would recommend Marie! She is amazing and you will never regret choosing her!

    Working with Marie for my wedding was such a fantastic experience. She was full of ideas and incredibly creative with the design for my flowers. They were absolutely beautiful and unique, she really listened to what I had envisioned. I feel like the entire experience was one of a kind. Marie had such a warm and open personality from the start, I felt as though I was talking to a friend I had known for years. When it came closer to the wedding day, her communication was quick if I had any last minute questions. Marie was patient throughout and made my flowers a huge highlight of my wedding.

    My daughter got married on August 11th. Marie, owner of Wild Orchid Custom Floral Design did the flowers. Everyone that has said something to me about the wedding has commented on how beautiful the flowers were. They were stunning! I purchased vases for the centerpieces so our guests could take the table arrangements home with them...not a single one was left on the tables. Marie and Tim went above and beyond to make my daughters wedding day perfect.

    My daughter and I did not really know what types of flowers we wanted. We gave Marie the color palate and she made it happen. She has the ability to take your vision and make it a reality. I never worried about what it was going to look like. I knew it would be beautiful and it was! More beautiful than I could have ever imagined. It was a stunning sight to see the color pop when we walked into the reception room. The coral, orange and yellow on the pewter overlays was perfect, just as Marie had told us it would be! I cannot say enough about the escort table and the fireplace mantle, what a WOW factor for the entrance into the reception. SIMPLY GORGEOUS!!!

    I will never be able to thank Marie and Tim enough. Their attention to detail gave me the freedom to simply enjoy the day with my daughter. Marie treats her brides kinda like they are her daughters. She wants everything to be perfect for them and most of all she wants them to be happy.

    As a bride, I had a hard time choosing the type of flowers to go with, which is typical. I just wanted the bouquets to look beautiful. From the beginning, Marie had a whole lot of suggestions, which blew my mind. She made my flowers look like a piece of art. Her devotion to getting things done the right way was magnificant! I can always count in her to with time, changes and types of flowers. Marie and her team went the whole nine yards to deliver the flowers on my big day.

    I would definitely recommend Marie and her team to anyone! She is one of the most patient, reliable and professional person I have ever worked with. Her work says it all!

    Marie puts such heart and soul into all the little details of each and every event! Her excitement lifts others around her into being even more excited about their special day!! I've recommended Marie to several close friends and will continue to do so!! The flowers for my brother's wedding were vibrant and perfect!! They were so fragrant that the bridesmaids all were sneaking sniffs throughout the ceremony! I held my sister in law's bridal bouquet and could smell the roses at an arms length away! Even in the heat, through a trolley ride and several photo locations, the bouquets were in tact and the flowers still so fragrant and fresh!! It may sound silly but I woke up the next morning after the event and thought "man the flowers were such an awesome and impressive part of the wedding!" Marie did a spectacular job as always, she definitely poured her hard work and love into my brother and our family's special day!!!!!

    Marie helped make our daughter's wedding the most beautiful day of her life. The centerpieces and corsages were absolutely gorgeous. She is very creative and unique in her designs. She truly loves her brides and will enthusiastically execute your ideas to perfection. Her love for her profession and her clients shows through in all she does. We feel she surpassed all our expectation in a florist.
    Marie makes beautiful memories that will last forever!

    Marie Pauly was a fantastic florist for my wedding! I could not have asked for more beautiful flowers. From the first time we met to run through ideas to our final phone call the week of my wedding, she displayed professionalism as well as an honest and true enthusiasm for my wedding and her work. It was very easy to share my ideas and even to let Marie run with my color and flower concept. The finished product was an absolute breathtaking flower arrangement. From the bouquets and boutonnieres to the centerpieces, Marie did a wonderful job.

    Marie did the most fabulous job with our wedding. From our somewhat vague descriptions of what we wanted, she absolutely nailed it. She could not have been more on target with what we wanted if we had shown her pictures of it. It was definitely much more than what I expected. Marie is super easy to work with, she knows her craft and most importantly, her craft is her passion. If you want someone who is going to care about your wedding or special event as much as you do, if not even more, choose Marie.

    Marie, the owner of Wild Orchid Custom Floral Designs is amazing. Her creativity and attention to detail shows in all of her work. My daughter's bouquet, the reception table centerpieces, the boutenierres, everything was as i had envisioned.

    It was a pleasure to work with her to come up with florals that really made the right impression and added so much to the evening. Many of our guests came up to me to ask where i had found such beautiful centerpieces and i was happy to recommend Marie!

    marie did such a beautiful job with our wedding flowers. I just told her the basics of what I liked and I gave her the go ahead to work her magic. She had so many neat ideas of ways to do things with the flowers. Everything turned out so wonderful, I was so pleased with Marie's work. Marie was a pleasure to work with and she had so much positive energy,which was infectious.
