We were very happy with the job that Sara at Sweet Magnolias did.  She met with us, listened carefully to what we wanted, discussed it in depth, and found the best solution.  We had a number of photos that we wanted her to use for inspiration, and she delivered arrangements that were as good as, or better than, what we had been looking for.  

The flowers impressed us, our guests, and even the hotel staff.  And she did it all for a fraction of the price of her competitors.  

She went over and above for us, and If I had to give anyone advice on planning a wedding reception, it would be to contact Sweet Magnolias immediately.  We were really impressed.

I can honestly say that Sara's superb organizational skills and e-mailed reminders/links to check out various flower websites (for different shades and varieties of flowers and fresh design ideas) helped me out tremendously!  She was gently persistent in keeping me on track. 

The professional way she handled the local wholesale florists was evidence to me that Sara is on top of her game. Her knowledge of floral trends and of flower pairings is extensive and was shared generously. 

The bouquets were simply beautiful and really drew the eye, and her corsages and boutonneirs were gorgeous and neatly taped, lending a very sophistiicated and clean effect.

I was an extremely confused bride when I first came to Sara, and she was wonderful to me. I was getting married in an extremely bland room that needed dressing up, and I had all kinds of crazy ideas. And I kept changing my mind about what decor I might use. She rolled with the changes and each time I had a new idea for an overall look, she gave me wonderful ideas and resources for achieving it. In the end, I went with an evergreen theme and wanted roses for my bouquets. She integrated the greenery and white roses wonderfully and gave me the overall effect I was looking for.

I also wanted a special requirement for my bouquet, I wanted it rolled in a certain way so I could add a family heirloom to carry and so I could easily unwrap it and give away the individual flowers to important people in my life. She did a fantastic job accommodating me.

She was extremely helpful and professional from the first moment and delivered everything I could have hoped for. I highly recommend her services for your special event.
