Colleen is a magic-maker with her flowers. Part of the sadness of your wedding being over is that you no longer have a reason to keep in touch with the incredible folks who helped you along the way, who you built trust with and who showed you t...
hat they truly cared... people like Colleen. She delivered us a 14 page visionary portfolio that honestly helped guide most of our other vendors of the colors, motifs, themes, and textures that we wanted from our wedding, and all from our first consultation. She went above and beyond for us, throwing in extra perks, not because we're special, but because that's how she does business. And the final pieces were truly jaw-dropping. She's an artist. Don't pass her up!

Tara & Luis were such a lovely couple who were open to ideas and suggestions. The color palette was fun and inspiring to work with and matched the couples cheerful disposition. Such a pleasure to design for them.

So fun to work with you Beverly! You were easy going and trusting in the design process.
Trying to get married during a pandemic was no easy feat! I came to Colleen at Botanikal after canceling my wedding in Illinois. My fiancé and I had decided to move our wedding to Washington and I had about 20 days to completely re-plan it. Aft...
er researching on The Knot and Instagram I knew Colleen was the florist I wanted to work with. I took a leap of faith and gave her a call knowing there was a high chance she wasn't even available on my wedding date. As fate would have it she was! From the first moment we spoke over the phone her communication was incredible. The first week or so of re-planning we emailed constantly back and forth about flowers and arrangement ideas. We were completely on the same page about what I wanted the bouquets and boutonnieres, aisle greenery, and arch floral to look like! Fast forward to the day of where, due to a Covid-related setback, I all of a sudden found myself completely re-planning my ceremony. Colleen and I were in constant contact the entire morning while we rallied to find a new ceremony spot, secure a wooden arch, and organize set up and tear down. My wedding turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and ALL of the floral completely exceeded my expectations! Thank you Colleen!! There's no way my vision for the day could have come together without her!

Colleen from Botanikal Design was wonderful! She was so fun to work with and she truly brought the vision I had for my wedding flowers to life. I loved that she helped me cut costs by using the flowers I had from a friend's hydrangea bush. My b...
ouquet was stunning as were the bridesmaids and flowers girls. And I absolutely loved the arch and two side pieces for behind us at the alter. I also appreciated how she continued to work with me during the whole process. She was encouraging and had excellent taste and advice. Would highly recommend her!
The flowers were absolutely beautiful!
I interviewed several florists before selecting Colleen Elkins at Botanikal. I chose her because she has a wealth of knowledge about plants (she is a botanist) and she has a unique, edgy style.
I told her all the sorts of flowers I wanted i...
n my bridal bouquet and then described the "feel" I wanted for my bridesmaids bouquets and the groomsmen corsages. I was floored with the results. Everything came out looking better than I dreamed. She gave us unique and photogenic arrangements unlike anything I have seen -- even in the top bridal magazines.
I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for something a little different than what a mainstream florist provides. I would say if you want amazing floral arrangements that are unexpected and gorgeous, go to Botanikal.
Colleen was also really great at working with me on the cost. Her original estimate was more than I could afford, so she helped me put my money where it did the most work. I was so happy with the result!
