An Affair To Remember

suggestions for your design. I've never heard so many people talk about the flowers at a wedding. Their inventory is insane - they have everything you could ever need. Not to mention they are the absolute sweetest humans. I cannot say enough good things about them!!

know exactly what we wanted with florals/decor but after one meeting with Jody, we knew it would amazing. She gave us great options and provided her opinion when we couldn’t decide. We added on a cookie wall that would double as our seating chart at the last minute and the AATR team made it look AMAZING! Our guests are still raving about it. All of the table center pieces, church pew decor and bouquets were stunning. Thank you for making our floral dreams come true!!!

he set up of our wedding. For over a year I have been dreaming of a beautiful ceiling install at our wedding venue, it was what I was most excited for and could not wait to wow our guests. Imagine my shock when we showed up for our rehearsal the night before and our ceiling install was completed and we were told another couple was using the space for their rehearsal dinner that night. So on our dime, another couple was getting to use our floral install for free. We were also told that the couple using it could not be stopped if they wanted to take pictures and post them on social media. I was devastated. We were going to be second in line to my own vision! Our venue was also disappointed because they thought AATR had communicated all of this beforehand with us, which they did not and we were blindsided. I sent a message to AATR and so did our venue coordinator letting them know we were upset, and someone called me back, however the blame game was played. They didn’t take responsibility for the lack of communication and I was told to “shake it off” and to “have a good night”. Can you imagine being told that the night before your wedding when your upset and disappointed? Overall, after the experience we had I can say that I’m bummed this ever happened and I was never expecting this to happen because of AATR’s great reputation. I understand mistakes are made, but an apology would have been much appreciated and we never got that.

o fun to work with. From the design piece to event coordination, they took care of my every request down to the wire. Through two postponements, AATR was so accommodating and professional. Thank you Jody + Team for bringing my vision to life. I couldn't recommend you all enough!

I truly was blown away. She is so much more than a florist and ended up designing the entire space with a vision I never could have come up with myself. We had a backyard wedding that included a flip of the ceremony into the reception space and her team got it done so quickly and seamlessly. Cannot recommend them enough!

elivered. I knew and trusted that they would design amazing table arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. They were always willing to work within our budget parameters, listen to what our vision was and easily adapt to any and all changes over the course of planning. They asked questions no other decor vendor asked me and they took the time in our initial planning session to really get to know me as a bride and what I wanted for our wedding day. I highly recommend them - the whole time is professional, kind and efficient!

ng company I happened upon. From the beginning of my conversations with Jody, she was extremely helpful. She knew how to make my floral and décor dreams come to life! From there, she was so valuable every step of the way. She made constant updates to the proposal, continued to help form my vision, and overall was just an amazing resource at a crazy time in 2020! Her and her team do absolutely incredible, beautiful work! I could not have been happier with how our florals and venue turned out. On top of that, they handled all the set-up and decorating of the venue! I could not imagine a better team to handle your floral and décor needs! An Affair to Remember is just spectacular! Bonus: They put all of our florals in disposable vases within the pretty gold vases so that our guests could easily take them home! How genius!!

e most amazing Mandap I (and all of our guests) had ever seen. It was the perfect vision and I wish I could to sit under it every day. Out florals for the Christian ceremony were stunning to say the least. Beyond flowers Jodi helped create warm and inviting, but also stylish and fun table settings. Our guests were floored. Look on further for your wedding flower and decor needs!!

and then some! There are truly no words. Jody spends a lot of time getting to know her couples and knew exactly which venue to recommend after we were forced to reschedule and cut our guest list. She referred us to a brand-new venue that was about to open, The Dogwood, that she knew was reflective of our personal style and it did not disappoint. Their team really pulled out all the stops and made our day fabulous!

ing easy and fun! They take your vision and make it a reality!! It was such a gorgeous venue with every detail! Such wonderful people to work with!

with everything she did. I could not recommend An Affair To Remember highly enough!!!!

hey setup and tore down everything so we could just show up and enjoy the day. Every single guest commented on how beautiful our wedding was, and AATR deserves all the credit. Thank you for everything you did to make our wedding so special!

sultation (where they were well on their way to getting into our heads for our wedding vision) to the curveballs that planning a wedding during a pandemic threw at all of us, they were always a step ahead. They adapted to last minute venue changes and worked with the space and materials in a way that seemed like it was planned this way from the start. As we met different members of the AATR team along the way, we were greeted with smiles, compassion and answers, even when we thought the planning would get hard, they made it look easy. They flipped our space from ceremony to reception and created two unique and beautiful rooms. The floral bouquet was exactly what we pictured and even created the cutest succulent wedding favors. No detail goes unnoticed; AATR is worth every penny.

into the perfect venue for a more intimate wedding. Jody and her staff are professional, creative and very accommodating. We were able to put it all together in 3 weeks without any problems. We highly recommend them for any occasion, but especially for a wedding. They are truly terrific!!!

ive and responsive. She would like light candles so that we could really get a feel for how it would look. She helped us think through how to be cost effective. And the final outcome was breathtaking. We were at Union Station in the Grand Hall and honestly I couldn't believe how beautiful she made it look. I am so grateful we chose An Affair to Remember. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Jodi!

riously. We knew within minutes of meeting Jody that we wanted her and the amazing team at AATR to make all of our flower dreams come true. In fact, I distinctly remember the smile that came across my mom's face after we met Jody, followed by a "We need her." During the initial consultation with Jody, I only gave her my wedding colors and talked about my overall vision for the day. She then brought everything to life (using my Pinterest boards for inspiration), and then physically made a mock-up table with everything we had talked about; to say it was beyond perfect would be an understatement. When you hire Jody and AATR, not only do you get incredible flowers, but you get the blog-worthy tablescapes you've been drooling over for months, a patient team willing to accommodate last minute add-ons and panicky emails (sorry, guys!), and the peace of mind knowing that everything will come together seamlessly on your big day. On the day of our wedding, the girls went above and beyond. They ensured that everything was perfectly executed; from the aisle bouquets, the arbor arrangements, the tables, the banisters, cake flowers, fun bouts, I could go on and on. Jody has the extraordinary ability to visualize exactly what you want for your wedding day, and she settles for nothing less than absolute perfection. I cried when I saw my flowers the morning of my wedding, and I cry every time I see photos of them on social media months later. Our flowers MADE our wedding. And a special shoutout to Ashli for making my fall, boho vision come to life. I will never have enough words to thank her and the rest of AATR, and I cannot recommend them enough.  To Jody and her awesome employees, thank you all so much for making our wedding day so perfect. Your hard work and dedication made our wedding day unforgettable, and we can't thank you enough. Love, Mandy and Max Nagel

d instantly fell in love. At our design meeting, we talked color, style, shape, overall aesthetic. We had such fun getting to see so many options of arrangements and got a visual when Jody offered to also add table linens to the contract; we got to see an entire look before we made our decisions and could swap pieces in and out of the design in her shop that night. Also, I can’t think of a more patient vendor to work with. I think I changed my mind, adding and removing things from the contract several times during our planning process and Jody never questioned my crazy brain, only offering suggestions on how to make the day the most beautiful and it was! We received so many compliments on our florals and I was proud to say who designed them. I truly can’t say enough positive things about AATR! Thank you, much love!

e was able to put together a gallery of images of ideas just from my Pinterest and was able to perfect it the moment we began talking. When Jody did a mock up for me of what our centerpieces would be, I cried. It made the whole feeling of getting married so real. Not to mention, a very important piece of family jewelry was left of a bouquet. Her team was able to find it after the tear down. They could have easily overlooked this tiny detail but they didn’t. I would recommend them to anyone around! Thank you so much Jody!

ons in order to create the details to carry out your vision. She has a special talent for truly understanding what you want. Her professionalism and attention to details is exceptional. The large, full bouquets she created were just exquisite and exactly what my daughter envisioned. The intimate ambiance created at the venue set such a lovely tone for the whole reception with the lovely linens, candlelit centerpieces, and gorgeous large arrangements spaced throughout the room. Every detail was carried out with special attention and care. We were just delighted with so many compliments from our guests who thought the room looked gorgeous- all of it! Jody was a joy to work with, as were her staff, and I am thrilled that we had the privilege of working with such talent. We give her an immense amount of credit for creating such a beautiful room for celebrating this very special day.

ss, it was more than I could have imagined. I had ideas and trusted Jodi and her team and they ran with it. All the florals and decor tied the event together so well. I received so many compliments from guests on how amazing the florals and decor looked. Florals was one of my top two things that were important to me at the wedding. I gave Jodi and few inspiration pictures and some textures I liked, and she blew my mind. Jodi is a magically, gifted, and talented woman. Hire her, she’s amazing.

anned out. It was the most fun vendor appointment we had and I hope to use them for other events in the future. The flowers on the day of the wedding were everything I could have asked for and more...but I had no doubt that they would be. I worked with Gabrielle and really considered her a friend throughout the whole process. I was so relaxed the day of my wedding and attribute a lot of that to knowing that we were in the best hands with Gabrielle and her team.

with any other florists because we had total confidence in Jody (as did all of our vendors, who told us that she is the best). With very little direction, Jody totally got our vision and put together a beautiful design proposal at our meeting. What she came up with for the wedding day was even more beautiful than the Pintrest photos in the proposal. It’s impossible to pick a favorite, but the real standouts were my bouquet (which our photographer said was the biggest she’d ever seen), the altar, the sweetheart table, and, of course, the floral collar and leash she made for our dog of honor. The flowers were even better than we imagined, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

f planning over the phone. Jody was incredible to work with and tailored things to our vision. When I felt like something was a little costly, we scaled back in certain areas. While I was in town, I went to their office and was able to see what the tables and everything would look like together and tweak things from there which was fun! The flowers were so beautiful and my bouquet was HUGE but not overdone. It was just better than I could have imagined. Our guests were a little rowdy and broke a couple things we rented and they were very gracious and understanding. Thank you!

beyond, in every sense, to make sure that my big day went off without a hitch. The decorations were stunning, the floral arrangements were incredible and my bouquet was perfect. Gabrielle was even in the process of planning her own wedding and still was able to be attentive and provide over the top service. I recommend them to everyone!!!

ion I had coming in and turn them in to the most amazing, beautiful design. She was always responsive to my countless questions, emails, and extra visits. She worked with me to find the perfect purple napkin and made it so easy to make changes and work within our budget. The final product was absolutely stunning and beyond what I ever could have imagined.

hen I didn't know what to choose. I could not have pictured a more beautiful reception room! I truly was amazed when I saw how they had transformed the space. Also, I could not stop saying how beautiful my bouquet was!! I highly recommend using an AATR for your decorating or rental needs!

trips. All it took was a phone call with Jody to know that she perfectly understood the look we wanted to achieve and that she was who we wanted to work with. AATR gave us a level of confidence - knowing that everything was in their hands - allowing us focus on enjoying our wedding rather than stressing. On top of that, Jody worked with my mother-in-law on the rehearsal dinner - it was so beautiful, we would have been thrilled if it were our actual wedding reception rather than the rehearsal! Our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception were so much more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and we are so thankful to the AATR team!

the initial meeting, Jody sat down with us and went through every little detail about the look, theme, and floral vision for our wedding day. She even asked questions as to what shade of blush (dusty vs bright) and burgundy (more purple vs more red) we wanted in our color palette. She laid out numerous linens, napkins, and chargers for us to complement our floral choices. Her proposal was itemized and by far the most detailed in terms of florals, linens, decor items, and location on the wedding day. She was always very responsive with her emails and made any updates I requested. The day of our wedding, her team did an unbelievable job setting things up just like we had discussed. They were very detail-oriented, yet were able to work quickly and effectively. They flipped our ceremony location to a reception location in under an hour, which was no easy task with a caterer, band, and photo booth also trying to get set up. At the end of the night, they took things down quickly without us having to worry about anything. And they were able to help us get out by midnight. I could go on and on about how amazing Jody and her team are, but you just need to work with them to get the true experience!

we just got to “play” with colors, décor, flowers. She was able to listen to what I was saying and bring it to life through past work photos/pinterest or what they had in house. By the end of the night we had all of the décor set and ready to go! Jody – was fun, creative and got back to my emails pretty quickly! I really appreciated that she gave her honest opinion on numbers/sizing for things. As someone who doesn't know a lot about flowers, I didn’t feel like she was “just trying to make a sale” but truly cared about my needs and vision. We made a few adjustments right before the wedding (adding more flowers) and I’m so glad we did! On the day of the wedding the flowers were even better than we had been picturing! We had so many compliments regarding the flowers and centerpieces. Not to mention how amazing they look in our wedding photos. It’s been a month since our wedding and I still have my bouquet because I just can’t bring myself to throw it away (LOL). I would/will suggest An Affair to Remember to all my friends and family getting married in the future!

as a level of comfort with her that we felt immediately, and it only increased as we realized how knowledgeable she was about flowers, and the wedding industry in general. She was extremely easy to talk to and really made an effort to get to know us and our preferences. After sitting down and meeting with Jody, we ventured into their showroom which displays all of their rental décor and linens. It was absolutely amazing! I’m a visual person and to be able to see everything in-person was incredible. She even has a table set up in the room to play around with different linens, table settings, and centerpieces! We had such a blast, as it was the first time we could really see our wedding vision coming to life! Jody made the experience fun and collaborative as she worked with us to design a truly unique table setting that matched our vision. After our initial meeting, Jody sent us a detailed proposal containing images, descriptions, and pricing. She was so easy to work with when it came to our budget and would happily make suggestions and adjust our proposal to get us to where we needed to be. The final product was exceptional and left us speechless. To say Jody nailed our flowers and décor would be an understatement. And, as if it couldn’t get any better, the minute the doors opened and guests started entering the ballroom, the scent of the flowers came wafting out. It was perfect! We received numerous compliments on how great everything looked (and smelled!) and are so thankful to Jody and her team for helping to make our day what we had envisioned from the start.

ifferent options to cut down prices here and there. We ended up going home after that meeting with a color scheme picked out and ideas on decorating. Her and her team who helped set up did a wonderful job. The ceremony and reception were seriously gorgeous and our bouquets were perfect. Highly recommend using them!!

ridal party’s bouquets were silk with the bride’s grandmother’s brooches set in. They were beautiful. Jodi had two areas of STL Union Station to decorate. The ceremony room was perfectly lit with candles, drapery softened the room, and the grand staircase was decorated with vintage suitcases to bring in the theme of the station. The grand hall was gorgeous. People who were just staying at the hotel kept telling us what a beautiful room it was. We could not have been happier with her and her team’s work!

hey were more than willing to work with us last minute to change up some of the distribution of the centerpieces as well. The only issue we had was the mother of bride and groom corsages were welting by the end of the night as well as one flower in the bridal bouquet. My photographer had wanted the flowers delivered early so that may have been the issue. Otherwise the flowers were beautiful.

t on a suspended floral head table piece, and Jody made it happen (within budget!) She was very easy to work with, and we had so much fun together designing my vision. She was helpful with advice, and really worked with me to tweak the design until we got it absolutely perfect. If you are on the fence for any reason, hire them! You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for making my wedding vision come true!

to work with and made the entire experience so easy. I was not sure what I wanted the flowers, tables, bouquets, etc. to look like on my big day but after a quick meeting with Jodi, she put together a plan that not only fit with my budget but was exactly what I wanted. Even with some last minute changes, Jodi went above and beyond by upgrading some items that really enhanced the overall look of the reception hall. We still have people commenting on how amazing everything looked on our wedding day and I have Jodi and her team to thank for that! I cannot recommend them enough!

s showed up and put everything together. So EASY - I didn’t have to do a thing! I also needed help setting up table numbers and one of the girls got them from me and took care of it. SERIOUSLY, how genuinely nice is that? It’s the little things that makes your day so special, that nice gesture was so so appreciated. These women are legit! Thank you guys

ns, and had tons of ideas to show me to pull inspiration from in the intial first meeting we had! She was always on top of it too - anything I needed she was there to help! The communication was wonderful and I don’t have any complaints! Everything was done in a timely manner for the Big Day and the experience was the best I could’ve ever hoped for! When it came to the actual wedding day and seeing the vision come alive... my breath was taken away. The flowers were beautiful and she and her team have a true eye for rustic elegance - our wedding was in a barn and with all the decor, it looked like an entirely different venue - the venue owners said it themselves that they were impressed and found themselves a new florist to recommend! Thank you SO much Jody, the Brown family cannot thank you enough for what you did - it was AMAZING! Highly recommend!

he biggest difference to me was the meeting we had to play around with the centerpieces for the tables. I was completely at a loss for this one. That was not a problem. Jody showed us so many options and made the process fun! I felt at ease when I left the meeting because I knew we were going to have a beautiful reception because of An Affair To Remember. T

e decorations. The floral arrangements in the church, the bouquets and the table arrangements were all outstanding! As the Mother of the Bride I very much appreciate their creativity and recommendations. Our daughter and I didn't exactly know what was desired but we did know "the look" we wanted to have created and AATR did not disappoint - in fact, they exceeded our expectations by creating an atmosphere of elegance. They added so much to the wedding day and we are so appreciative. I can't praise them enough - they are simply the best in the business! Lauri H.

with. The flower arrangements are amazing!! When I first saw my bouquet it took my breath away. So beautiful! Our reception looked stunning! Every detail was perfect!

e up with some creative ideas to stay in budget, and overall just made the flowers stress free, beautiful, and easy. She also does lots and lots of different styles of flowers, from the traditional and elegant to the more modern and fun! Go check out her IG or FB. She has tons of pictures of her work on there. I would 100% recommend her to any bride in the area.

use her for my wedding too. When I first met with Jody, she carefully listened to my ideas and even pulled up my Pinterest boards to see exactly what I envisioned. She took the time to put together a detailed proposal with images showing exactly what I would be getting for ceremony and reception decor. In the months leading to my wedding, she was very flexible with small tweaks I wanted to make. The day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing and was in awe of how perfectly and beautifully everything turned out! Flowers and decor can make or break a wedding and are something your guests will talk about and remember. If you book with AATR, you can rest assured that you are in the best possible hands!

and she turned them into real life, it was great to see the vision I wanted created! The flowers and decorations turned out absolutely beautiful! Jody is one of the best people to work with for a wedding I would definitely recommend them for your flower and decoration needs!!

oyed their online payment form - it made our exchange run smoothly!

and Blakely and the rest of the team are AMAZING. So sweet and willing to help whoever with whatever. Absolutely love them!
