Camellia Faire Floral & Event Design

fessional pictures when I receive them

oral arrangements were so vibrant and true to the venue that our ceremony space still looked even better than what I'd dreamt up. They brought the outdoor garden in and made our wedding stunning. I absolutely cannot recommend Camellia Faire Floral & Event Design enough. They're incredible!

needed to make changes to our proposal. Maura really captured our vision so well and I was so in love with my and my bridesmaids’ bouquets. I wish they would last forever!

that they had experience designing at our venue since they had good recommendations for which parts of the space would look good with certain types of flower arrangements. We really appreciated the design workshop, where I felt that Maura had a really good understanding of the color palette and look I wanted for the florals. On our wedding day, however, it was like we were delivered someone else’s flowers. The color palette was completely off, full of dusty pinks and saturated magentas with traditional flower choices, rather than the peach, blush pink, and pops of blue with a wildflower look that we had specifically discussed. The flowers were the most important component of the wedding for me after the venue and the amount we spent reflected that. It has been a month since our wedding and I am still totally heartbroken that the flowers that I’ll see every time I look at my wedding pictures are nothing like what I imagined and what we were shown at the design workshop. I appreciated that Kate was able to fix the bridal bouquet at least and that Maura came by the venue to check in after I indicated that I was upset by the state of the arrangements, but at that point it was too late for anything meaningful to be done for most of the arrangements.

understood what I was looking for and even brought out fixtures and centerpieces and whipped up a small bouquet for me to get a visual idea of what it would look like. When we left that day, we were about 99% sure we would be booking her for our wedding. One of best things that Camellia Faire offers is their Floral Design Workshops! About 2-3 months before your wedding date, you are invited to their adorable studio to have a one on one meeting with Maura and Erin where you get an even better idea of what your bouquets, centerpieces and any extra décor will look like. The space is filled to the brim of flowers that are in season for your date and there are so many different types of fixtures to match whatever style you are going for! I am a visual person so having this gave me peace of mind knowing that Maura knew exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding date twice due to Covid and Maura and Erin were nothing short of amazing and so supportive during the whole process. They were so fast at emailing us back and helping us set up our new dates. Fast forward leading up to our third date, Maura and Erin made sure to check in and I shared any updates and changes that have happened along the way and they were super understanding and helpful. The day of the wedding, I was so excited to have our bouquets delivered and see how everything would come together. Let me tell you, I was blown away. They transformed our venue's ballroom to match our elevated garden party theme. The space was filled with flowers, greenery, lanterns and candles! My bouquet was just as beautiful and I literally wouldn't let it go all day. I was obsessed. The only bummer that took place was that for my mother, mother-in-law, our godmother's and my grandmother, we got them corsages to wear and unfortunately everyone's flower fell off throughout the night. Other than that though, everything was beautiful and perfect! The Camellia Faire team that came onsite that day were so friendly and kind and they really did an amazing job! Thank you again to Maura, Erin and the entire Camellia Faire Floral team for being apart of our day! The wait may have been long but it was so worth it in the end! Please go do yourself a favor and schedule your initial consultation with Camellia Faire today if you are currently looking for your florist! You won't regret it!

d they went above and beyond. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how gorgeous the flowers were, and the designs complimented everything so wonderfully. I loved that they had the floral workshop months before the wedding. I had spoken to multiple other florists and they are the only ones I spoke with who offered that and I found it really helpful to see things in person and talk through different stylings. They are beyond patient and helpful. I emailed them with a bunch of questions I had and they were very responsive. Also a few weeks before the wedding during our final meeting I shifted the color scheme to some lighter tones and they were great at adjusting the vision and making our day a beautiful one! They and their team are wonderful to work with and we're so glad we picked them for our day!

o make sure the décor was perfect, while suggesting creative twists on my original ideas and always happy to entertain new ones. Their passion for their art really comes through when you get to see mock-ups of the centerpieces, bouquets, and other key elements at the design workshop. It was so helpful to know ahead of time exactly what the flowers at our wedding would look like. Everything turned out even better than I envisioned it, and the Camellia Faire team went above and beyond to make sure our winter wedding went off without a hitch (even staying in a hotel the night before the wedding because of a predicted snow storm!). I cannot recommend Camellia Faire highly enough – they did an incredible job and were phenomenal to work with.

d our Covid postponed wedding and were extremely flexible in allowing me to update my floral design from what we had planned the previous year. I changed my mind several times, and Erin was so patient with me and generally excited to make my vision come alive. Planning sessions both in person and online were a breeze, and Erin was great at matching what we had in our heads with actual examples. Could not recommend them enough to create the perfect wedding atmosphere!!!! I got married out of state so I'm not around the PA area, but if I could hire them for all my future events, I would in a heartbeat!

repare me for the moment I actually saw them on the day of. I was in AWE of the work by Camellia Faire Floral. I would say they were the flowers of my dreams but they exceeded that. I can't stop looking at the pictures of just how beautiful everything was. I don't know a lot about flowers but Maura & Erin were able to see my vision and run with it, especially my idea for black taper candles! Thank you so much Camellia Faire Floral for everything!

capture my vision. The only reason they were not a 5-star vendor was the organization and communication behind the scenes. We had trouble processing our payments from the very beginning, which appeared to be a lack of communication between the team and the booking platform they use, and unfortunately these issues were present each time we had to process a payment. We had to email or call many times before getting any sort of response, which left us feeling in-limbo most of the time. I know this wedding season is jam-packed for vendors, but as a bride, it added an extra, unnecessary layer of stress. Maura and Erin’s artistry is truly unmatched, and on wedding day, we could not have been happier with our flowers. Some better business and organization practices in the office would make them a perfect vendor.

rkshop in advance of your wedding to help you figure out exactly what you wanted and I am sure that played a big role in what they delivered. Everyone could not stop commenting on how beautiful our florals were. Thank you so much Erin and team!!!

when I felt as though I was not communicating it clearly. They are literally the sweetest people ever! Their floral designs are beautiful and unmatched and we are still getting so many compliments on our flowers weeks after our wedding! We cannot thank Camellia Faire enough for helping us on our special day!!!

are very knowledgeable with their flowers and what types and colors look great together. I showed them a picture of a flower without knowing the name and they were able to identify it and provide it for my wedding day even though it's not always in season in the Summer. They communicate and accommodate very easily and can work with you for whatever your style is. I would 10000% recommend them to any of my friends and family getting married in PA!! They truly made my vision come true and made my wedding look like a fairytale.

wedding and the florals they came up with blew my mind they were so gorgeous. At our final rescheduled wedding this July they transformed the space and our guests were raving the whole night about how gorgeous everything looked. Truly a dream to work with, creative geniuses, and super nice on top of that! They were nothing but helpful and flexible with the COVID craziness and I hope to use them for any events we may have in the future!!

l wedding on our original date. Maura even comped my bouquet for that wedding as a thank you as both myself and my husband are frontline healthcare workers (how amazing?!). Erin was so communicative and easy to work with- often redoing my proposals as things changed. Camellia Faire did florals for both our small October 2020 wedding and our wedding reception in August 2021 and both times the work was absolutely stunning and brought our vision to life. We would recommend Camellia Faire thoroughly (and already have!) to anyone looking for a floral designer on their big day!

ess and they were everything we wanted. Thank you, thank you thank you!

We got dozens of compliments on our flowers and how they added to the soft, romantic atmosphere. I was literally moved to tears by the beauty of the finished product. If you're looking for a true professional who will make your wedding unique and true to your personal style, look no further!

t who did our florals. The team is also super easy and great to work with. Thank you!!

dback we had during our meeting and had all options on display which was helpful for me since I don't readily know the names of many flowers.

ny idea what was coming, but every obstacle was handled with such grace, understanding, and flexibility, and made our lives so much easier! From our first phone call in 2019 to the end result in May 2021, Maura and Erin were so on top of things. The bridal workshop in their studio was so much fun and truly helpful for someone who knew roughly what they wanted but had no idea what it would actually look like in a bouquet. We got so many compliments on the arrangements and bouquets at the wedding - everything was exactly as we’d imagined! Cannot thank you enough, Maura and Erin, for making our day so special 💕💕💕

e very excited to work with Maura and her team after our first call with Erin. During our call we explained to her our vision and after going over a few questions she scheduled a second call with us a week later. During the second call she presented a proposal for our wedding that we were very happy with. We already had calls scheduled with 2 other florists so we were not able to commit to signing a contract immediately, but Erin ensured us that our wedding date would be held by them for 30 days. After speaking with other florists we decided we wanted to move forward with Erin’s proposal. This was only 2 weeks after our last call, giving us (what I thought) was plenty of time to finalize the contract. I emailed Erin letting her know we wanted to move forward with their proposal. I was very surprised when a few days went by and I did not hear back from Erin. After being forced to follow up 3 times, I finally received an email back notifying me that they had been going back and forth with another one of their couples all week on their postponement date, and that they agreed to do their wedding on the same date, meaning they were no longer available for our wedding. This was extremely disappointing to hear and very frustrating considering we walked away from 2 other florists thinking that our date was being held for 30 days. I also would have appreciated it if they contacted me after my first email explaining the situation, instead of ignoring me for a week only wasting more of my time. I understand and respect them wanting to honor a commitment to another couple, but it is still extremely unprofessional for them to not offer us the same courtesy by holding our wedding date as promised. If there is ANY exception to this policy, it is not something they should promise to potential future couples.

e wanted and we were NOT disappointed! During the planning process we had phone calls, facetimes, and pictures so that we always knew what to expect but even on the day of I was blown away by how beautiful everything was. It was perfect. For the day of they showed up on time and prepared to set up our arch and deliver the bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and small decorative pieces. The next day they arrived early to pick up and clean up anything left behind. Our venue was really happy with how on top of next day clean up they were. Seriously... don’t look for anyone else. BOOK with Camellia Faire now!!!

ch about florals so I know I wasn't very descriptive, but Maura was able to execute my vision perfectly.

unique challenges of planning a wedding during COVID and when we decided to move our wedding out of state due to PA guest count restrictions that would not allow us to include our entire immediate family, Maura was completely supportive. I cannot say the same about some of the other vendors I had contracted for my wedding. I know Maura is a very talented florist and I am sad I didn’t get to work with her for our wedding, but beyond being a florist Maura is a true professional.

was so receptive to our ideas and made many great suggestions. As a part of working with Maura, she hosts a floral workshop for each of her couples. I have to say that this workshop was easily my favorite part of the whole wedding planning process! We visited her studio and saw live, mock-ups of our bouquets, corsages, and table settings. This was such a great way for us to not only see everything and work out design in real time, but it helped us to picture the big day visually! She rolled with every change we threw her way and embraced it. The end result was a beautifully designed and well-thought reception with amazing florals. I just wish I had another excuse to throw another party with her florals again!
