My husband and I were so happy with our experience working with A Touch of Elegance for our wedding at The Palace at Somerset Park! We primarily worked with Katie Feminella, who wa...s absolutely fantastic from our initial consultation all the way through to the day of the wedding. Before our consultation, I sent Katie our inspiration photos, including our invitation suite, which we felt best showcased our vision, and my wedding dress, and Katie ran with it! Once we signed our contract, we received a detailed version with the names and photos of the flower selections and hard goods. We loved the flowers and greens Katie chose, which included some unique (to me) picks like scabiosa pods and adonis. During the process, Katie was easy to work with and didn't make us feel uncomfortable at all when it came to discussing the budget. She was honest with us that some of the flowers we had seen online would put us higher than the price point we were hoping for. And she was very respectful of our budget, helping us repurpose some centerpieces as ceremony decor instead of just adding more. There were a few extras, like flowers for the photographer's detail shots and a small bouquet for me to toss, that she included for us gratis. All of these little touches showed me that she cared not only about making things look beautiful, but also staying true to our needs.
On the day of the wedding, Katie brought my bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, and the moms' corsages to the bridal suite. It sounds silly, but when I saw her on the wedding day, I could really feel her positive energy and excitement, which only confirmed that I was in great hands. I still remember going into the ballroom to take a peek while I was getting ready and sharing some giddy smiles and laughs with her and her team!
Finally, Katie was flexible and understanding. When I realized one of the selections was a flower I'm slightly allergic to, she quickly swapped it out without making me feel like I was causing too much trouble. She was careful to find two options for me to choose from that looked most like the one being swapped.
I would recommend ATOE to any bride, but I'd especially recommend ATOE for anyone getting married at The Palace because of the close business partnership they have developed over the years. This meant I could leave it up to Katie and the venue to coordinate delivery and set up and take one more thing off my to do list. Please see the photos for some of ATOE and Katie's spectacular work, including the photos they placed on our cake, which took it to the next level!
