Emalee of Birdseed Florals is probably one of my most favorite vendors of all time. She is a true artist at her craft, taking my vision and transforming it into something more amaz...
ing than I could have even imagined for our wedding day. She was so easy to work with and everything looked absolutely perfect. The sustainability and support of local farms is exactly what we were looking for on our big day - go with Birdseed Florals, it'll be the best decision you can make! Will add photos when we get them back!
Birdseed delivered floral perfection on our wedding day! Emalee was a pleasure to work with — she is communicative/responsive and very kind. The bouquets, boutonnieres, chuppah arr...
angement, and reception florals were even better than we’d envisioned. We had many guests share their amazement by the flowers with us. We highly recommend Emalee’s Birdseed Florals for your wedding!
My husband and I got married at Appleford Estate on September 1, 2024, with Bird Seed Florals as our florist. We came across their work through Appleford's instagram and absolutely...
loved the floral aesthetic and how it worked so well with the vibe of the venue. Emalee was incredible to work with! We met a few times over phone and zoom calls so she could understand our vision for the day. Based on color and local/seasonal flowers, she curated bouquets and table pieces that felt unique to us. She has such an eye for floral arrangements, creating a beautiful ceremony and reception space for our wedding day. Everything felt so organic and whimsical. We couldn't be happier with all of Emalee's creations, thank you for everything Bird Seed Florals!!
Emalee is an incredibly talented florist. Our wedding was wildflower-themed, and Emalee made our Venue look like a dream. I was honestly stunned when I walked into our reception a...
nd saw how much more vibrant the space looked after adding the flowers. I was not alone. The number of compliments we received from friends and family about the flowers was kind of wild, but honestly deserved. Emalee communicated clearly with us and was able to create a scenery even better than we imagined possible. Emalee also outdid herself with the boutonnieres and bouquets. To anyone looking for an incredibly skilled, kind, and easy to work with florist, Emalee is the right choice.
Emalee made our wedding vision come to life! We sent her a pinterest board with our general ideas and she returned a mood board that inspired the direction of more than just our fl...
orals. It was from that initial conversation with her that our wedding look really began to come together. The florals on the actual day were perfect. She worked with some of our more custom elements such as our hand-made wedding arch seamlessly. Our guests gushed over all of the table decor and arrangements throughout the venue. Emalee was so easy to work with. She was very communicative and happy to answer questions and suggest ideas for other decor items. She also sourced several vases and pieces of pottery to fill out our table scapes and displays. We loved that you could rent part of her glassware and pottery collection and the fact that all of her blooms are seasonal and locally sourced. She was the best. We highly recommend working with her!
Do yourself a favor and hire Emalee for your event. Seriously. My rule of thumb when hiring vendors was to select people are are cooler then me with style I respect, so I could ful...
ly trust them to execute a killer vision on my wedding day. Emalee delivered. She is great to work with and I was so impressed how she just got me right away. She responded to my inquiry with an entire vision board based on my email and I was sold. I let her do her thing on my wedding day and I loved having the final look be a surprise to me and my husband. We stan Birdseed and we stan Emalee.
Breath-taking, one-of-a-kind works of art is the best way to describe the florals done by Bird Seed but not even these words capture the essence of seeing them in person. The work ...
is visually stunning and photogenic which made them memorable to not only us but many of our guests as well. You can sense the creativity and commitment in each flower and how it is individually placed. These florals made our day extra special!
Emalee was so amazing to work with for our May 2023 wedding! At our first call I knew we’d be a great fit. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and artistry are unmatched! An...
d such a nice person of top of all that. With only a couple meetings and emails she executed my vision perfectly and even better than I could imagine. We had a few unique requests with mushrooms and mossy features that she helped us incorporate. I was floored when I saw everything come together day of! We received so many compliments on the florals - bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, ceiling decor. So happy we chose to work with Emalee for our special day and will be recommending her to our friends and family! Thanks, Emalee!
Emalee is a brilliant artist, florist, and scientist. We could not recommend hiring her enough. The feedback we received regarding our flowers was universal praise. She sources all...
of her designs locally from Southeastern PA and Southern NJ which makes perfect sense considering we live in such a rich. agriculturally productive area. I knew we were going to love what Emalee put together when she showed up with her notepad and pencil to our walk-through at the venue. You will not get this level of service elsewhere. Our flower designs looked better and were more tasteful than celebrity weddings with budgets 20 or 30 times higher than ours. I have no doubt Emalee is going to the top of her field.
If anyone is on the fence about hiring Emalee for your floral/table scape/wedding needs (which, why would you be? But that’s a different convo!) Do it!! I was blown away by the att...
ention to literally every detail, the color scheme was spot on, everything was equally whimsical and romantic, I don’t have one negative thing to say!! & I’m a Virgo, so take what you will from that, ha :) Seriously though, all of our guests were impressed and asked about each floral arrangements down to the ceramics! 1000/10 experience, the hype is real!! Tysm Emalee!!!
Working with Emalee was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process, and her designs are a huge part of what made our day so memorable. Aside from being s...
uper easy to work with -- from the start with a detailed proposal, great communication throughout, and adaptable to our preferences and budget -- she is also beyond talented. I love that she works with in-season-only florals, fruit and veg, and also incorporates foraged elements, making for truly unique designs -- wild and timeless.
I'm a firm believer in hiring talented people and getting out of their way, and working with Emalee was the epitome of that experience. We discussed my vision of non-traditional fruit and veg centerpieces, and she was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable that I immediately trusted her to run with it. She also suggested additional decor based off of that initial conversation. When I saw everything come together the day of the wedding, she totally captured my vision and then some. I don't have pics (yet), but the foraged greenery and wild grass arrangement on the venue's staircase was strikingly beautiful, the specifics of which I would never have thought of myself.
I feel so lucky we got to work with her for our wedding, and though I don't usually plan events, hope to experience her work again in the future.
It was an absolute dream to work with Emalee. We knew almost instantly that she was the best of the best and trusted her implicitly - from her incredible modern and whimsy arrangem...
ents to her commitment to sustainability and supporting local to her taking care of donating all of our florals after the wedding. She understood our vibe and aesthetic from the very beginning and ran with it in a way that was more magical than we could have ever imagined. And communications with her were so easy, too! Would recommend Emalee and Bird Seed Floral to literally anyone.
