Flourish | Inspired Environments

I had interviewed several other florists that seemed very used to the wedding game...I didn't feel like my ideas were really being understood and it was discouraging. Its not that I was asking for anything complicated, but the true creative vision was missing. I brought Lindsey Nartker a few photos of bouquets and designs that I really liked, and showed her my bridesmaids dresses, and she understood my vision right away. My bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely perfect and she and her staff were very responsive, friendly, and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Detroit area.

especially considering I had so many different ideas in my head. She is so easy to work with and does a beautiful job with the finished product. She made our day so stunning, and when I first walked into the room I was speechless on how beautiful it was. Her and her team are absolutely AMAZING and make your day so easy and stress free!

. They are very easy to work with and very responsive! They do a good job working with you, so you get exactly what you want. Their style matched up very well with my vintage shabby/chic wedding. All their event coordinators are very educated on what is relevant in weddings today and you can see that as soon as you walk into their shop or check out their website! Overall choosing Flourish was the best decision!

dding day without their coordination and floral design!

thing they touched was beautiful down to the smallest detail. I worked with both Lindsey (the owner) and Heather and they were great at re-creating the vision I had for our wedding and also recommending changes or additions they thought would really make things pop. What I LOVED about working with them is I really felt like they knew me and thus understood what I liked and really stuck to that so everything felt 100% like my Husband and I. One of the most important things to me as an out of town bride was access. Not only were they extremely flexible with my schedule but they were always available via email/phone for questions or advise. If all of that wasn't enough, their pricing was extremely competitive and I know without question they over-delivered for us. I highly recommend Flourish if you are in the market for a wedding planner, floral, invitations, decor or all of the above. You will be so happy you used them!

chairs so that the combined effect was STUNNING! We continually get compliments from our guests about the work Flourish did. Definitely a choice we would make over and over again. Loved them!!!

utiful! The hall was gorgeous! Only little things were that the peach flowers were a little more "colorful" than what I was thinking in my head and most of our bridal party flowers were dying before the reception..but it was a long, hot day so that is understandable!

ges. I have very high expectations and can be picky - but honestly my bouquet was absolutely stunning and the compliments from my family and friends keep coming. My centerpieces were so beautiful and actually better than I pictured in my head. I am SO glad I had a coordinator for my wedding day - I could relax and stop thinking about everything except for marrying my love. Thank you SO much for making my day so perfect - you ladies went above and beyond to make me feel so special!

she was an ongoing source of ideas and information.Alexis,their stationary designer created save the dates, invitations,table numbers,and escort cards.She was easy to work with,timely in preparing proofs,and talented.Heather,their production manager kept our family on schedule,fielded our questions,and executed our venue set up.She was great,filled with integrity and talent which seems to be a common denominator with this team! Flourish Event Design made the bridal bouquet and all wedding party florals which were outstanding in both quality and design. They created fresh flower centerpieces,arranged for speciality linens,additional votives,charger plates,and up lighting at the reception venue.My daughter wanted the atmosphere at her wedding reception to compliment the beautiful,modern venue she selected.The Flourish team accomplished this and created a contemporary, elegant room that was breathtaking! We found Lindsey and her team to be creative,committed to excellence and attentive to detail.

. Let me start by saying Lindsey, the owner, is very talented. She understood exactly what I was looking for and worked within my budget to make it happen. Our venue said they’ve never seen it decorated so beautifully before. I never once felt pressured into anything I didn’t want or couldn’t afford. She was very supportive of my decisions and helped persuade the moms to support my decisions as well. Every meeting was very personable. I never once felt rushed or pressured. I felt like their only client. They were there to provide input and give advice but really listened to me and what I wanted. It was a very easy process and completely trusted them. My wedding was 250 miles away and they still set up a flawless design. I wish I would have met w/ Flourish before any of my other vendors as they’re very knowledgeable of the entire wedding industry and other vendors. They can be involved as much or as little as you want them to be. I cannot say enough good things about Flourish Event Design. If you choose to go with them – you will NOT be disappointed.

rate deliveries were included with using all of these services, which worked wonderfully to get the boutonnieres and bouquets delivered ahead of the ceremony/reception. The former were delivered right to my hotel room on the 62nd floor! What service. But that's just the beginning... ALL OF THE FLOWERS WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN. I spent I think 3 visits + multiple emails designing and redesigning things with Lindsey and what she ended up creating was stunning. Everything was beyond my expectations and our guests were raving about all of the decor all evening and they're still coming in. I could not be more pleased. Lindsey and her team are amazing. They are not the most inexpensive, but they are very flexible and worth every single penny. USE FLOURISH! The team truly made my wedding vision come to life.

Melissa helped us with all of our planning and coordinating, and Lindsey for flowers. All of the girls were beyond helpful and answered any questions quickly and professionally. Melissa helped me get my ideas down and supported me through out the wedding planning process. It was worth every penny spent. They flowers turned out to absolutely stunning, as I had forgotten what we even talked about! You could just tell Lindsey your vision and she'd go above and beyond. The day of services were perfect, as we had our ceremony and reception on family property. They arrived early to help finish setting up and make sure everything ran smoothly. I didn't worry about a single thing, because I knew Melissa and Heather had it covered. They had umbrellas when it rained before the ceremony and Melissa curled my hair again before the ceremony when it went flat. They made sure everyone did their jobs and that everyone was having a wonderful time. I could not be more thankful for everything they did for us, it was worth every penny! Thank you for helping make our day perfect - because it really was:)

They did a BEAUTIFUL job with all the flowers and linens. When I walked into my reception hall I was stunned by how nice of a job they did. The centerpieces were a great size for a "smaller" sized centerpiece and my bouquet was so beautiful, and it saved nicely. They did all of the set up and clean up themselves. I would highly recommend flourish event design to anyone looking to have a beautiful wedding. Thank you ladies!

a bit). All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make sure you feel at ease and prepared beforehand and that you have nothing to worry about the day of your wedding. They arrived and set up everything quickly and came back at the end of the night to tear everything down. I absolutely loved everything they did, my centerpieces and bouquets were perfect. Couldn't be happier!! They are the best!!

were beautiful and exactly as we had requested. The team made sure we stayed on track for the big day and nothing slipped through the cracks.

ions. It was a little pricier than another florist I checked out, but I trusted Flourish more for their overall knowledge of the flowers and best combinations for the flowers I chose. The flowers looked great on my wedding day!

smaids dresses and Flourish matched all the shades to the girls dresses and it coordinated very well. I am so happy with the way it turned out! Lindsay at Flourish was very nice and knowledgeable and she answered all my emails and questions/concerns. Thank you Flourish for making my wedding so beautiful!

h Event Design, owned by Lindsey Nartker, met, and then exceeded, our expectations. Our wedding plan contract included a vast array of custom-designed printed materials including the save-the-date, invitation, guest information pieces, and event-specific menus. Additionally, we chose to highly personalize the décor with the inclusion of vintage pieces that required a comprehensive vision from bride-to-designer. We were highly satisfied with Lindsey’s amazing ability to interpret this vision and subsequently tell the story of us, the bride and groom. We were very pleased with Lindsey and her staffs’ willingness to remain in direct contact with all of us -- the bride, groom, mothers’ of the bride and groom, and all our chosen vendors. The organization of their Base Camp communication software was a vital part of managing our out-of-state couple, providing an outstanding means of sharing thoughts and suggestions while permitting our fast-paced business and social lives to remain intact. Additionally, Lindsey’s obvious control of the important timeline moved along our project with relative ease and resulted in successful deadline completions. We were also very pleased with Lindsey and her staff’s constant air of patience and politeness. While most of us are not artistically talented, we each had opinions and priorities. Lindsey was always respectful of our offerings, and constantly conscious of our budget. We thank Flourish Event Design, including Lindsey and Heather, for creating a wedding that began as an idea and became a highly memorable weekend for our family and friends. We highly recommend ending your search for the “perfect party planner” by contacting our new friends at Flourish.

ly Lindsey! I would refer them again and I can't wait to see all my photos.

to understand our aesthetic, so the process of consulting about decor or layout was easy and smooth. Lindsey is very patient and calm which is helpful when the planning gets stressful. She provides advice when you ask for it and hangs back when you don't. She follows up on details and keeps things moving forward--and was generally very available by phone or email. She thought about small details that made the actual day smooth-itinerary for the day of, snacks for the bride and groom in case we got hungry, etc. My only critiques: the business of doing weddings is now a huge industry--hotels, venues, and vendors often try to charge you for things that you wouldn't think would be add ons/additional costs. If you are looking for an advocate to help avoid some of these costs, or someone who is interested in going outside established wedding vendors to find good alternatives, I don't think the Flourish Event Design team is in this business. On the positive side, they seem to have great working relationships with the established businesses providing wedding related services in the area. Also, be clear on cost from the beginning--there were a couple things I thought would be included in the overall cost of event planning that I ended up doing more work on myself than I thought I would, or things I thought should be included that weren't (e.g. managing RSVPs, writing names on escort cards, etc.) To be fair, there are such a wide variety of things that could fall under the umbrella of wedding planning, so it's hard to be clear on what's included. Overall, our day was beautiful and it was in large part due to the hard work and efforts of Flourish Event Design.

was on top of everything...and she was.

ning process, figuring out my flowers/centerpieces is what gave me the most stress, but after sitting down with Lindsey, all my worries were gone. She took my inspiration and made it a reality. I had checked out other florists in the area and after each meeting, I had the feeling of being "stuck" and not really getting anywhere with them. Then I found Flourish and everything fell into place perfectly. On the day of my wedding, I was able to be at my reception location when the Flourish team delivered everything. I got choked up when I saw everything for the first time. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. With Flourish you are definitely getting what you pay for. Lindsey and the team have a special way of taking your inspiration and bringing it to life, all while keeping it extremely chic. It's been 2 weeks since my wedding and I still have my dying bouquet sitting in a vase on my table because I can't bear to toss it yet.

a month before the big day and decided to change the entire look as the colors were all completely off. I was very happy with the revised centerpieces at the wedding. Some of the flowers were wilted but they set them up on the tables exactly how I had asked. I'm definitely happy I paid the extra $50 to get the preview however and wasnt stressed about the set up one bit on the wedding day because I knew they would take care of it all! My bouquet was absolutely beautiful however the bridemaid's bouquets were very sparse with only a few stems in them which was upsetting considering what I paid for them. The groom's rose corsage was browned and wilted. Overall the quality of the flowers them selves could have been a bit better, but the compilations were nice.

for. She got my vision right away and was able to offer me advice and examples of her own work as inspiration! It was great! I had shown her a picture of a bouquet I loved and she far exceeded my expectations! My bouquet was a dream! We got so many compliments on our flower from the flowers at the reception to the guys boutonnières! I highly recommend Lindsey & her team!

hrough floral options, made design suggestions and made the process fun! She was very responsive and answered all my questions quickly after I asked them. And she was patient with me as my wedding day neared, and I kept making design changes. On our wedding day, I repeatedly received comments from guests that our centerpieces were some of the prettiest they'd seen. And the bridal party bouquets were stunning! They were more beautiful than I could've imagined. Lindsey was wonderful to work with, and I would strongly encourage other brides to consider Flourish Event Design! Thank you to her to helping make my day so beautiful!!

my bridal bouquet actually lasted for >1 week after the wedding!

isioned for this bridal shower thanks to Flourish Event Design due to their knowledge and professionalism. They guided me from Day 1 and were able to give advice and point me in right direction to questions I had about where to hold the shower to how much to spend on gifts for favors and gifts for the guests. I was very happy with their service and would highly recommend using them for an upcoming event.

ses back from the company but we always got an email eventually. Lindsey was very knowledgeable about flower colors and how they will look when I had no idea what I wanted. We did hit a snag shortly before the wedding when we found out they were not allowed into the venue until about an hour before. I freaked out but once I walked in everything turned out perfect. Our bouquets were exquisite and all my guests commented non stop on how good the tables looked at the reception. I would recommend Flourish Even Design to any of my friends looking for flowers and decorations!

our conservative budget, she worked with us to create the most amazing bouquets and boutonnieres for our wedding party. In fact, we were so satisfied with Lindsey’s service we went on to have her create our invitations and escort cards. Our guests were blown away by both. The entire process was incredibly smooth and she was always quick to respond to my questions. We got exactly what we wanted at the price we needed. I would highly recommend Flourish Event Design to anyone. Thank you.

s one of the best decisions I made in the entire planning process. Melissa was the planner in charge of our wedding and she was FANTASTIC. I didn't meet her until I came into town a couple weeks before the wedding and she was so great in working with me over email and phone. Melissa was at the rehearsal even though it probably wasn't necessary, and she spent all day setting up the day of. She even hand delivered the bouquets and boutonnieres to my parents house while we were getting ready, even though I'm sure she had a million other things to do. She had a few girls on her team helping her out, and they were all just so great. Everything setup by Melissa and here team was perfect and the entire cleanup was really impressive too. I can't recommend hiring Flourish and Melissa for wedding coordination enough, she was awesome! Now onto the flowers, linens and chivari chairs. I first met with Lindsey of Flourish just about coordination but quickly realized that she was perfect to do the flowers as well. Lindsey did a wonderful job listening to what I wanted and also made great suggestions. We only met that one time and the rest of the communication was via email. Lindsey was super responsive. I changed my mind about the type of vessel and number of arrangements a couple times and she was very easy to work with. Also she was able to get linens and chairs much cheaper than my tent rental company (Colonial). The flowers were lovely. There could have been a few more peonies in the arrangements (this may have been weather related) and the bridesmaids bouquets were a little small compared to mine. But overall everything was so beautiful! I definitely recommend hiring Flourish!

ed. I do not believe that she saw the quality of the bouquets, boutonnieres, and the corsages made for my wedding before they left the studio.

exactly what I had expected. My reaction was less than ideal. I had completely forgotten that Lindsey had contacted me during the planning process about adding some larger blooms to the centerpieces to help make them more full and less expensive (yay!) but I never adjusted my mental picture. When all of this settled in my head and I really looked at the centerpieces, they were beautiful and looked incredible in the room matched with the linens and other decor. Lindsey's team happened to hear my gut reaction and approached me ready to fix anything I wasn't happy with and assured me that they were ready to make any changes necessary to make the day perfect. I took a deep breath and assured them I really was happy. They repeatedly made sure this was the case before departing for the day. The bouquets were absolutely stunning and all of the flowers held up so well - a week later, a few centerpieces are still in our home and look great!!!

n manages to go beyond definition and create not only bold and extravagant memories, but does so with ease and in my case, with zero direction needed. Lindsey is a gem. It is hard to fathom that she has only been in the industry for a handful of years, because she manages her company, clients and thoughts as if she were an old pro. However, her young age certainly adds a fresh edge to wedding industry. I used Flourish for all of my wedding day flowers - ceremony to reception, as well as my linens and let's be honest, some unexpected coordination and insight. Lindsey and her incredibly well rounded team overwhelmed me with options and insight at first - Lindsey is a ball full of knowledge and taste, and just by saying "maybe ivory flowers..." she can immediately gauge your every need somehow. I never felt as if I were in a sales meeting, or being forced to like something that wasn't 100% me + my groom. I could go on for hours on how incredible each step of the process was - but I have read enough reviews in my wedding planning experience to know that I enjoyed the to-the-point ones! So here it is - choose Flourish. They will execute absolutely everything beyond what you're imagining. They will be on time. You will be shocked by the value and beauty of their work. They will give you referral bonuses without pushing their business on you. They will send you cookies over the holidays (or at least they did last year!!) They will cater to your every need - and even the ones you didn't realize you had. They know exactly what they are doing, and exactly what you don't need to be doing. I can honestly say - the compliments have been endless on the flowers and the linens alone from my guests. I will thank Lindsey and her perfectly created team until I am too old to walk...and yes, I'll send THEM flowers over the holidays this year!

was awesome at figuring out my likes and preferences and making suggestions to help guide me in my decision making. By the end of the appointment I had picked out all my flowers, linens, colors, lighting etc. She was so nice and professional too! She made it all happen on the budget I gave her too. Lindsey and her staff were always available and professional over the months of wedding planning as well. On the day of my wedding, I was blown away by how beautifully it all came together! My bouquets were the most beautiful I have ever seen! When I walked up to check out or ceremony and reception area, I couldn't believe how perfectly it had all turned out! It was beyond all my expectations. I'm still getting compliments about how beautiful the room and flowers were! I can't express how much I loved what they did for me on my wedding day! I promise if you go with flourish, you will not be sorry! I also got my bridesmaids dresses from studio bridesmaid. Beautiful dresses, so many compliments! My girls loved them! And you will get the same professional service too!

addition, she was very trustworthy and made working with her a pleasure. Each time my mom and I left her studio with Flourish, we would be smiling and saying how much we adored her. Her ideas were great and she worked with us within our budget. Would recommend and use again for other events I have.

t their aesthetic would be a perfect fit. After one quick meeting with Lindsey - she put together a beautiful collection of cream flowers, greens + berries for our lovely, textural bouquets and boutonnieres. She was also very flexible when at the last minute we needed to add loose Hydrangeas to our order for cocktail tables. Everything was dropped off onsite, with glass vases to hold the bridal party bouquets at the head table during the reception. Overall it was a wonderful, easy experience working with Flourish. I would recommend them to anyone.

with our budget and adjust as needed. She was well worth the money and I would use her services again in a heartbeat. Lindsey turned my dream wedding into something feasible and I'm so glad I choose her and Flourish Designs!

she was so responsive and friendly - and I felt very comfortable trusting her with my flowers, even as I was planning the wedding from out-of-state. I really felt like she understood what I wanted, taking the couple pictures I sent and running with it. She even incorporated the peacock feathers I'd sent - when I decided 2 weeks before that the ‘bouts weren't going to happen if I tried to do it myself. And the price was good, half that of another florist. My only issue is that, because we decided to pick the flowers up, (we ended up getting them the morning of) I was disappointed to see that the boutonniere’s were dead (as in wilted and drooping) by the 6pm ceremony. Granted, flowers don't last forever, and that was the first time I'd seen them all day, so I don't know what condition they arrived in. Even so, it wasn't something you'd notice in the pictures – and getting them delivered closer to the time you need them should solve that problem. But what really hit a home-run were the bouquets, which I LOVED. That's where I felt Flourish really shined. I was just in awe of how gorgeous my flowers were! AND they stayed that way all night long. Overall, I would recommend them, but I'd also recommend having them delivered closer to the time you need them - you won't regret either decision.

that we asked Lindsey to design our stationary, floral arrangements, and coordinate our chair, linen, and ceremony rentals. We could not have been more pleased with Lindsey and Melissa, our event coordinator. Our wedding day was picture-perfect down to the last detail -- elegant stationary, gorgeous flower arrangements, impeccable ceremony and reception set-up, a “to-the-minute” itinerary of the day, and Melissa’s reassuring presence and direction. The day was seamless. My husband and I didn’t need to think or worry about a thing. We loved working with Lindsey and Melissa, and all of the vendors they recommended. Flourish truly exceeded our exceptions.

with the bouquets on their website. Talking with Lindsey was a fun insight into her creative process as she listened to flowers, colors and texture I was interested in and quickly crafted suggestions....(I would not have thought up blue thistle on my own, but it was the perfect accent). When it came to the big day it was so exciting to see my vision come to life. The flowers were beautiful and matched the tone of the wedding perfectly. My aunt, who also works in flower arrangements, was struck by the beauty of the arrangements and especially impressed by the price....she knew they were worth 30% more than their price....helping to confirm my belief that not only does Flourish Events create beautiful arrangements, but they do so at a great cost!

swer questions and give opinions when we asked. My husband and I were so pleased the day of the wedding and we got so many compliments about the floral and decor. Thank you so much, Lindsey!

he appointments more confused than I was going into them. Most places were outrageously priced and expected me to have a clear vision walking into the appointment....well I can be a very indecisive person and didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted. After meeting with Lindsey at Flourish Event Design, she worked with me to shape my vision and gave great suggestions along the way! I left that appointment feeling confident and extremely excited about the design decisions we made together! Throughout the process, I had quit a few slight alterations I wanted to make to the bouquets and centerpieces and Lindsey was very accommodating to those requests! During the floral preview appointment, I changed the centerpiece vases to cylinder vases, which makes it more difficult to submerge flowers because they float up to the top. So instead of saying no, that can't be done, Lindsey came up with a solution by weighing down the submerged flowers with a string and washer. When all said and done, the final product was spectacular! I cant even count all the compliments I received on the room decor and our bouquets! Thanks so much for making my dream wedding a reality flourish event team! :)

on our Wedding Day! Lindsey tailored her suggestions to fit our personalities, and always made us feel that we were the only Wedding she was planning. On our Rehearsal and Wedding Day, I was ready to pass over all of the details, and Flourish exceeded all of our expectations. Lindsey and her team at Flourish were one of the first things we booked after becoming engaged, and it would have been impossible to have such an extroadinary day without them! Thank you so much for everything you did!!!!!!!!

was great at working with me to make my ideas look spectacular! She also had some great ideas to add and, in the end, our flowers were great!!!! One thing I really loved was that her prices were very reasonable, especially since the style is very modern and trendy (some of the vendors like this can be very overpriced).
