Fantasy Fulfilled

The floral designs that Janel and the Vivid Expressions team create are pure masterpieces! Her creative talents are wholeheartedly conveyed through her works of art. Because of Janel's artistry, my wedding embodied a "pineapple paradise" vibe. I will forever be completely obsessed with the lovely floral creations that were made for my special day. It truly made me feel as if I were transported on a tropical getaway! Janel emanates positive energy and was very sweet to work with. I cannot wait to have the Vivid Expressions team at my next future event!

Beautiful and Unique!

Working with Janel at Vivid Expressions has been one of our favorite decisions for our wedding day. We had a vision of a travel-themed wedding with some unique centerpieces that didn't include just flowers. However, we had a lower end budget. Janel made sure to not only respect our budget, but produce everything we wanted for our big day! Her kind, warm personality made it so easy to work with her. We love that unlike other floral planners, she provides you with a custom hand-created picture of what your wedding day's decor will look like. We found that super useful and could adjust anything that we didn't like (although we loved everything she presented to us). Definitely recommend her for your wedding day decor and flowers! We even received a little thank you gift after our wedding. She sent us the cutest travel-themed thank you cards to send to our guests. We loved working with Janel!
