Absolutely Amazinggggg Floral Team
Xpressions Floral & Events did such an amazing job with my wedding decor and wedding flowers. The flowers were fresh, great quality and simply beautiful. I am a flower lover so I knew I wanted high quality flowers for our wedding day & their services exceeded my expectations. Val & and her team worked with us & helped our vision come together! I was completely in love with all of our centerpieces, our sweetheart table design and my bridal bouquet! They provided a great variety of flowers and made sure to add some of my favorites. Book this vendor immediately! -

Let me tell you Valerie is extremely talented and flexible. She was able to make my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquet better then what I could have imagined. She always had a open line of communication with me during the engagement and worked with me to make sure I stayed within my wedding budget. She is amazing would highly recommend! -

Wow! Seeing my reception space for the first time was a tear jerker!
If you are looking for a dynamic team that can bring your floral vision from your thoughts and ideas on a scratch pad to an elegant space, Valerie and her team is it! Valerie's creative design and floral palette is exquisite! One of the greatest things I love about Valerie besides her attention to detail, she understands texture and balance in a space.
Whatever your preference: elegance, minimal, simplicity to luxurious look no further than Xpressions for all your floral design needs!
I'm looking forward to my next project with Valerie and her team at Xpressions. -

Valerie, Valerie, Valerie!!! I don’t even know where to begin with how amazing and talented she is. I contacted her three months before my wedding and she understood me right away. We discussed what I wanted and because she’s extremely talented she suggested even better ideas and the outcome was extremely beautiful. I know it was extremely hot on the wedding day but Val and her team worked so hard under the heat to make that day special. The colors, the flowers, the design was beyond gorgeous. Val, Iggy and I want to say thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. You did that!! You did that, it was a fairytale. Thank you so much -

Val aka the flower whisperer was a dream to work with and one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding! I wanted a whimsical, magical, and colorful floral scheme, and she flawlessly executed everything and brought my vision to life. We had a few changes along the way and she handled them with grace and ease! She was flexible, responsive, creative, and professional to work with. Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her, and we're so grateful that we chose Xpressions Floral Designs for our special day. Val is so talented and hardworking, and I couldn't recommend her more!

Val is amazing at what she does! I couldn't have ever dreamed of what she executed for our wedding day. She listened to what my husband and I wanted and made sure to incorporate those elements. She thinks outside the box and I couldn't have been happier. My florals were the highlight of my wedding and I even took steps to preserve them as a keepsake. Val is very professional, attentive, and extremely creative. Not to mention her prices were very reasonable and well worth the investment. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married! -

Valerie is amazing. Our wedding was postponed due to covid and Valerie stuck with us the entire way (thru 3 reschedules)!! I’m not sure what my wedding would’ve looked like without her! Everyone said it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to and I honestly agree. Val helped me with centerpieces, chargers, linens, rentals, my altar, and more. Cannot thank her enough. Smoothe communication. Fair prices. Quality work. You can’t beat it! I would recommend Valerie in a heartbeat!!! -

Beyond what I even dreamed of!
Valerie at Xpressions Floral and Event Design brought my wedding floral vision to life with ease! From the first conversation, she was friendly, professional, creative, and eager to help me get started. I shared a few inspiration photos of what I wanted my wedding florals to look like, and she provided me with an inspiration board that was above and beyond what I thought could even happen. The entire process was smooth, and she was even flexible when I decided later down the road that I wanted her to help with even more than what was initially discussed. Her flowers are bright, beautiful, and most importantly...unique. I knew I didn't want standard wedding florals and Valerie over-delivered with her designs. THANK YOU SO MUCH VALERIE! -

Outstanding Floral Services!!!
To my beautiful florist Valerie Bennett with Xpression's Floral & Event Design.....
When I first saw her flowers I was blown away. I said to myself, she is classy and has an eye for this! I knew I couldn’t do my own flowers for my special day 😔 (being that I am a florist myself)but I wanted someone who could pull off my vision! She did just that!! I loved everything about my bouquet (the bling was out of this world)!!! The bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful with the rose gold (which is not even a real color and is hard to pull off lol), the cherry blossom arrangements were absolutely stunning!!! So elegant and classy just the way I imagined it. Thank you for everything!! 💐💐😘😘😘 -

Xpressions made our dreams come true
Okay so let me start by saying that I was an out of town bride. I was recommended Xpressions by my coordinator that I met in a Facebook group. As soon as Valerie (the owner) and I first talked on the phone, we instantly clicked. I swear it was like she could see inside my brain and presented such an on the money vision board to me, I was super excited. Fast forward to a week before the wedding and we had to change ceremony sites and table designs for the reception due to covid restrictions, no problem. Valerie was flexible and understanding.
Every detail for both the ceremony and the reception exceeded any expectation my husband and I had- even down to the aisle flower petal design that she creatively improved.
When I tell you it took our breath away when we walked into the reception room, I am not exaggerating. She made our Victorian Aristocratic Dinner Party vision come to life. All of our guests talked about how beautifully decorated the reception was for days after our event.
Xpressions in a nutshell shell- creative, talented, high quality, easy to work with/flexible, and VERY fairly priced.
All of my friends know that I wanted a David Tutera over the top style wedding and with only thirteen guests, thats quit a feat...But with Xpressions Floral & Event Design, Valerie absolutely crushed it!! It happened. 10 out of 10. If you don’t hire this company to do your wedding, you are missing out. -

The MOST beautiful bouquet ever!
Valerie and her team far exceeded my expectations. After experiencing a set-back with delaying our ceremony due to COVID, changing from a Vegas Elopement to an intimate home wedding ceremony and planning a wedding in a six week time frame, Xpressions delivered a perfect experience. My bouquet was STUNNING. Valerie was communicative, timely, reliable, and so creative. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! -

Briana Sent on 03/18/2020Exactly what I needed!
Valerie was amazing! I tried not to give too many requests and let her expertise lead the way instead of micro managing, and it was definitely the right choice. Our floral arrangement complemented our wedding photos in exactly the way I had hoped. And she even coordinated not one but TWO hair pieces choose from. Wow.
Plus she was extremely flexible with us. We had to reschedule due to really bad weather, and she didn't miss a beat. She helped our big day go exactly as planned.
The investment was totally worth it for perfect wedding photos that we'll look back on for the rest of our lives. -

Xpressions Floral is Incredible!!!
It's one thing to look at floral ideas on social media/gather your inspiration board. It's another to communicate your ideas and see them come to life so spectacularly. Valerie at Xpressions Floral did just that. I still have guests days later telling me how absolutely beautiful the room was decorated, and how much they loved our centerpieces. Valerie was so easy to work with, and communicated everything down to the flowers she was using for my vision. I know I didn't catch it all, but I could just tell even with our head table that she put together a little extra for us to make our table pop. Valerie, I can't thank you enough for making our special day even more perfect. If you're looking for a wedding florist, you should contact Xpressions right now! -

Florist and Decorator
Val and her team did an absolutely perfect job at our wedding. From the beautiful florals- to magical decorations, her and her team knew what they were doing and knew how to work together. She met with us months before and really got a great idea of what we wanted and what we could do- she helped us prep decor and even went out and bought decor on her own to match what we had. I have never experienced such dedication and creativity- she was simply amazing and the best. -

Shaunda Sent on 05/21/2019Hire Val for your flower and decor needs
Where do i start? I wasn’t a believer in a ton of decor or flowers, however upon speaking with my planner who recommended Val and reviewing Val’s vision she had for us, i was sold! We planned a wedding from 700 miles away, which was stressful in itself. Val made the decoration part easy by allowing us to rent the most beautiful decor and making all of our flower arrangements. When i viewed the space for the first time i literally bursted out into tears of joy! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding was. Val was always professional, flexible and easy to work with during the planning process, going out of her way to view multiple venues with our planner while we were out of town. It was also nice not having to lift a finger day of, not running errands the day after to return any decor. Thanks Val for helping us create the best day ever, our wedding PS: our velvet tablecloths were everything!!! ! Xoxo Shaunda and Scott -

Valerie is pure talent and it shows. I recently had the pleasure of working with her on my client's April 2019 wedding - and guests raved about how beautiful the space was. Weddings at Noah's Charlotte - tends to all look the same - but Valerie really elevated the space adding in flowers, trees, glassware, and candles. Her team was polite and quick. The couple was in absolute awwww of how their vision came to light. Looking for a florist with talent and vision - do yourself a favor - and hire Val. Highly recommend. -

Yolanda Sent on 10/18/2010It's kinda ironic on how we met...I had been doing alot of internet surfing and comparing. I had emailed her company re: information. At the same time, we had also scheduled a venue visit to see what an actual setup for reception would be...What a coincidence when we found that Valerie (who was working at the venue setting up for another wedding) was the same vendor I had contacted! To me, this was a sign that she was the ONE! Her work is amazing. Valerie is a seasoned professional who knows her stuff. She is so talented. She worked with my husband and I in terms of budget and overall theme. This young lady is good at what she does. We would definitely use her again. -

Elizabeth Sent on 08/23/2010Valerie was wonderful and talented for my July wedding. She was professional, helpful and extremely creative. I'm a visual person, so she was very thorough and clear to let me know exactly what my wedding flowers and design would look like. She did all my bouquets, boutonnière’s, and entire ceremony and reception decor. She was extremely flexible with my last minutes changes, and was always available for communication. The value for cost was amazing, and looked like I had spent thousands and thousands of dollars. I got so many compliments about the flowers and design, and it was all thanks to Xpressions Floral Designs. -

I don’t know where to begin. Valerie has been a pleasure to work with. When you give her your vision and trust her creativity magic happens. We changed our wedding day and with less than 24 hours, Valerie came in and made our venue absolutely stunning. It was stressful for everyone but she did what she could do to ensure that our day was still beautiful. We got so many compliments on the florals and the decor and the attention to details made our design so special. My bouquet was lush and vibrant, my bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely unique and stunning. Valerie is truly one of a kind and if you are considering her as your florist, you should absolutely make the decision...NOW!!!! -

Ciara Sent on 01/11/2012Valerie was great to work with. The flowers that she provided for the reception were beautiful. She also did a good job on my bouquet. The prices were reasonable and she was able to work within my budget. I only had a few minor issues with the service. Valerie was hard to reach at times, but it seems as though corresponding via email helped to resolve this issue. Also Valerie instructed me to choose a very basic cake and then she would decorate the cake with fresh flowers at no charge. She did not do that and it was very sad to see a plain cake on my wedding day when I was expecting so much more. Also Valerie failed to provide a toss bouquet. Thanks to the quick thinking of the staff at my venue, one was given to me. Overall she did a good job. Everyone loved how my tables looked. I would recommend Valerie to other brides. -
![Naomi]()
Naomi Sent on 09/10/2010Valerie was amazing to work with. Before finding her I was having a hard time finding a florist I felt comfortable with considering price and quality. I told her my budget and my vision and she brought everything to the table wonderfully. She added more flair to the event than I could ever ask for.
There was one major issue, but luckily it was fixable. Valerie delivered my flowers a day early. My wedding was on a Sunday and she showed up with my bouquets/boutonnieres Saturday. It made me panic a lil bit, but thankfully we caught her on time before she left.
Other than that she really did a beautiful job. My venue and table centerpieces looked great!
I would recommend Valerie to others. She was very easy to work with, listens to what you want, and is able to make your wedding look beautiful. Just be sure to reconfirm the day of the wedding ;) -

Michelle Sent on 10/03/2019Unfortunate Experience
I was excited to work with Valerie after learning about her from another vendor. But she fell just short of my expectations. Her professionalism was poor when it came to her communication. She didn’t call when she said she would and even my event planner couldn’t reach her at times. Also, in my contract my delivery time was 4pm. When speaking with her before the event she told me she had 3 weddings on the same day....and was trying to figure out her deliveries. As the bride, 2 weeks before my wedding, she made me feel unimportant and like my order was going to be rushed. Long story short she didn’t abide by my set delivery time and had someone deliver the flowers early. Not only did it catch me off guard but some bouquets had flowers wilting, which we had to remove. Overall just disappointed in Valerie -

One of the Worst Vendor Experiences
I feel compelled to warn others about my experience with this florist for my daughter’s wedding.
The day of the wedding was even more disappointing. The structure she created collapsed in the middle of the ceremony, what was agreed upon was not delivered.
This was not just a miscommunication this felt like a scam. Please do your research and proceed with caution. -

Sprauve Sent on 07/31/2020Horrible experience - Run don't walk away from vendor.
My personal experience with Valerie was horrible she lacked patience. After paying my 350.00 deposit, we set up a meeting at my venue which I scheduled with the hotel director and she never showed, my venue was in North Augusta SC and she claimed she drove to Charlotte, North Carolina she expected the rest of her payment the same week without showing reliability for her error. When we talked over the phone, she said when I set up to meet her at the venue that I had bothered her and she had all these other weddings, looking back I sent her one text message about meeting at my venue, she also talked about our budget and said she was use to having thousands of dollar wedding, my fiance and I decor planning was over a grand but she made it seem like we weren't up to her standards of what she normally charges people. Despite her error on her end she refused to give back our 350.00 dollar deposit for doing absolutely nothing. -
![Erica]()
Erica Sent on 05/10/2017Valerie's customer service has been less than professional. My fiancé and I called off our wedding and have requested cancellation and refund. According to her contract, we should receive all except the deposit. We've paid her off in full in advance. It took her over a month to only give a partial amount the refund and is refusing to abide by her contract,. She is the worst. Do not hire here. You will regret it
