Toni delivered on all fronts, but if I could give her 10 stars for Value, I would. My budget for flowers was not huge, and she never tried to nickel and dime me or insist on things that I might not need. In fact, to stay within a very modest budget, she actively told me about how I could create smaller centerpieces, repurpose into high top table and toss bouquets, use my bridal bouquet as sweetheart table decor, etc. I was so impressed by her cost-saving strategies!
She was a consummate expert on flowers. She sets up a private Pinterest page where you can see photos of different flowers, and she knows how to give you something you never knew you wanted, just based on a few Pinterest pictures. Trust me I'm a picky bride, and I cannot recommend her enough!! Hire her for your wedding, you won't be sorry! :)
Chandler florals did an excellent job for our wedding. They were able to come up with gorgeous florals that met our budget and desired look. It was a little hard for me in the beginning to trust the creative process. I had some specific ideas in mind and Toni steered us in some alternate directions, but I am happy we trusted her recommendations. Toni was very honest and straightforward with us. In the end she captured what we wanted very beautifully. Toni also did the setup the day of. Phebe was very organized with all the pre-wedding communication. I really appreciated the concept sheet they put together to capture the vision we discussed and I liked the platform they use to communicate, it cuts down on clutter in the inbox. Overall Chandler Florals did a great job, thanks Toni and Phebe!
Toni and Phebe were amazing. Before my initial phone call with Toni I had your typical bride brain. My ideas were everywhere with what I wanted to do thanks to Pinterest. Toni reeled me in and helped me see my vision. After our first phone call I knew I had to hire her. I pinned a few inspirational ideas to my pinterest and she literally made dreams come true! Everything was exactly how I imagined it to be. I cannot recommend them enough! If I could give 10 stars I would.
Phebe and Toni were the absolute best florists we could have ever asked to work with, and there is truly nothing more I could have asked for from them! From the beginning of the process to the very end, they brought warmth, vision, and professionalism to their work with us. I don't know too much about florals, and they put such time and attention into getting to know me and my vision in order to deliver the most perfect arrangements that I could have ever imagined. They not only are complete experts in the work but always treated us with total kindness. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone. It was the best we could have ever asked for!!!
Toni was absolutely amazing and played an important role in making my wedding vision into a reality. She is very dependable, honest and easy to work with. I highly recommend her to any future brides or hosts of events in the area!
Ambiance and florals were very important to me and Toni is one of the most reputable floral designer in the area and reached out almost immediately after our engagement. From the first few seconds of our conversation, I knew I wanted her to be part of our special day. Toni designed and decorated both our candlelit/romantic sunset ceremony followed by a magical winter sparkling candlelit reception. Many people said that the wedding was the most beautiful wedding they have ever seen and although it was my own, after receiving our professional photographs and reliving the day through pictures I couldn't agree more. Couldn't be more happy to have Toni as part of our day she listens to your vision and perfect day then makes it reality. Thank you, Toni! <3
Toni created the most beautiful table florals for the rehearsal dinner I hosted at Newport Vineyards. Since she would be designing the flowers for the wedding on the following night, she understood the bride's color and texture preferences. Other than confirming the number of tables we would have, I trusted her to translate the bride's feel to this venue. Her work took my breath away. Each table had a different arrangement with exquisite color, texture and flow. The overall effect was muted but stunning and musical. The feel at each table was happy and elegant. She understood how to work with this different venue while keeping to the bride's sensibility. In particular, Toni balanced the dramatic florals (dahlias, roses, hydrangeas) with interesting and beautiful accent florals for really wonderful structure. I was incredibly thrilled and happy and we had a most wonderful evening. One final note - I truly believe the flowers quietly set the stage on this night for the start of a joyous weekend!
We were so incredibly happy with the work that Toni did. The flower arrangements were everything we wanted and more. My bouquet was absolutely stunning and actually took my breath away when I saw it for the first time on the morning of my wedding. She came to our venue and set up the tables, and made sure we all had everything that we needed. The scene that she set up at the ceremony site was just gorgeous and exactly what we told her we wanted. She also helped us repurpose all of the flowers, which was very important because we didn’t want to waste them. No one will be disappointed with choosing Toni to work with for your special day!
We just got married at OceanCliff this past Saturday (10/7/17) and we could not wait to rave about Toni and her work on these sites! Our flowers and decor at our wedding were absolutely stunning and I was blown away by the beauty. Reliving pictures from our friends and family has been a blast and I can't get over how gorgeous everything is. All our guests were complimenting the floral design all night and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! Toni is a visionary as well as a lovely person. We loved working with her and definitely recommend her highly.
Toni is out of this world. After my first time meeting with her, I knew that it was a perfect fit. We had the same taste and style, her ideas were amazing, she was very thoughtful in each and every detail --- she truly pulled the look of my whole wedding together. She has SUCH an eye for this thing. She is so sweet and so much fun to work with, as well. I've heard from so many of my guests nothing but compliments on the floral arranagement and rentals (lanterns, boxes, etc) from Toni. She really cares about her clients and she loves working with flowers, which made her wonderful to work with as a bride. Toni, we love you so much! We will miss working with you!!!!
Toni and her team put together the most perfect flowers for both our welcome dinner and our wedding. We had our welcome dinner at Ocean Cliff in the tented outside area. She was very accommodating when I told her we had our own white wood boxes we wanted to use to hold the flowers. We wanted a more nautical, New England feel with blue and white hydrangeas to really contrast our wedding the next day of romantic greens, pinks, and creams and she perfectly did both! She even knew what linens were available at Ocean Cliff and how we could ask to have our napkins laid out to complement the tables which was a special touch!
My vision for my wedding was romantic, lush creams, blushes, and whites with gold and she completely understood and executed it perfectly at Glen Manor. I loved that she created a shared pinterest board so I could pin things such as bridesmaid dresses, my dress, flower inspiration, and she pinned inspiration pictures as well as containers/vases for the flowers to be rented. It helped to really make communication clear and efficient -- we could comment back and forth on specific photos and come up with the most gorgeous flowers!! She worked perfectly within our budget and if there was something I thought was a little more expensive that I wanted to pay she provided alternative options which ended up being better than what I originally wanted anyway! At the last minute we had a few cancelled RSVPs and had to get rid of one table and she was able to reallocate the money for that to something else with no problem, which was a huge relief for me! She hit the nail on the head with every inspiration picture I had showed her from the wide, romantic arrangement I wanted in the entrance to the weaving of greens and flowers through my antique bird cages used for card boxes and also suggested things I hadn't thought of which really made the day! She made the Glen Manor really truly feel like it was our home with all the personal touches.
I'll start with this: We should have called Toni first.
We called Toni in the most inconvenient way: late at night and because our other vendor dropped the ball - this all happening mere weeks before our wedding.
Not only did Toni pick up the phone, but was accommodating, easy to deal with and willing to work in our budget. And on the day, the flowers were unreal.
My wife really worked with Toni - so I was a tad out of the floral loop. However, whatever it was that they coordinated turned into the most unbelievable ambience with stunning and expansive floral accents.
We decided on only candle center pieces (Which Toni absolutely knocked out of the park) but we put floral accents on other places throughout the venue - and it was in these spots that Toni's skills as a florist, and artist, were the most evident.
She, and her team, did incredible work for us and really made the venue what we dreamed it could be - we were both very happy that we ended up working with Toni.
I absolutely loved working with Toni! She's extremely professional and our visions of the big day really come to life better than I could have ever imagined. Toni and her assistant were really easy to work with. Our chuppah was absolutely breath-taking and received lots of compliments from our guests! We had a different style wedding we were going for-- doing something more cocktail style vs. sit down, and Toni really helped to make sure that everything represented the style we were going for. She also surprised me day of with some extras that I did not see coming and it totally completed our finished look! I highly recommend working with Toni for your wedding day!
Toni and her team were wonderful! She did an amazing job of capturing our vision of the wedding. I enjoyed how she worked off a Pinterest page that her and I created during our first consultation. It was instrumental throughout the planning process and made it easy for us to continue to work on our vision until the flowers were ordered. We panicked a little towards the end as we weren't sure if it was going to be what we wanted, but Toni is an artist and truly delivered an amazing product. Our bouquets last over two weeks after the wedding, she uses the freshest and best flowers in everything she does. Highly recommend her and her team for any event!
Toni is outstanding!! She spent so much time with me on the phone before my wedding and created a beautiful atmosphere for our church and reception venue. My bouquet was out of this world gorgeous and everything I dreamed of! Her and her staff were so professional and moved so swiftly that we never even saw them the whole day. Everything was set up beautifully, on time and behind the scenes. Highly recommend Toni for any event, but especially a wedding!
Toni was absolutely amazing!! First, she has an awesome personality so she was fun to work with. She also totally got the look that I wanted with minimal direction. She was easily able to work within our budget and still make everything look fabulous. I would highly recommend!
Toni and her team (especially Stephanie) did a wonderful job with the floral arrangements for my wedding. I went in with a vague vision and they were able to completely deliver! They were always responsive to emails and phone calls and the flowers on the day of looked amazing for the entire day. Toni was also very cognizant of staying within my budget, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Toni to anyone having a wedding in Newport!
Toni and team are absolutely wonderful to work with. From the first 10 minutes of our call I knew she understood my vision. We created a pinterest board during that first call and were able to share ideas throughout the planning process. What I also loved about Toni was how much she KNOWS the Newport venues. When we were sitting down going over the floral plans she was drawing out the location of how the cocktail tables are set up, where the entrance to the ballroom was and even telling me to get extra long linens for the outdoor tables as our venue can sometimes be a little windy.
When Toni arrived (yes, she personally delivers the flowers) with my and the bridesmaids bouquets I was in love - it was EXACTLY what I had imagined and talked about. Arriving at the venue was no different.
If you want someone professional, who knows Newport and will TRULY give you what YOU want - hire Toni now!
Toni Chandler is an incredibly talented and passionate florist! She truly captured my vision for our ceremony and reception. In addition to a phone consultation, we had an in-person meeting at her shop to discuss all of the details. The planning phase was simplified as we created a Pinterest board together - it was so effective and really fun!
Everything Toni created was simply beautiful! From the bouquets, to the ceremony flowers and reception centerpieces - each detail was more perfect than the next. Her execution was so close to what we had discussed - I was so impressed to how lovely everything came out.
Toni and her entire team are great to work with and I definitely recommend,. Thank you also to Stephanie who was extremely helpful throughout the planning process.
Toni is the best at what she does! My entire wedding start to finish was beautiful and exactly what I had wanted thanks to Toni. She is such a wonderful person to work with and has a great sense of the type of bride she is working with and the vision they have for their weddings. I had complete trust in Toni and I really enjoyed working with her. I highly recommended Toni to all future brides and grooms! :-)
The end result of Toni's work is beautiful. She can be slightly difficult to get a hold of and a little scattered, but overall her work is gorgeous. She has so much experience and really understood my vision for the day (even if it changed a few times). Lovely person!
I would definitely recommend working with Toni as a florist, with a few stipulations. Right away, Toni was very professional and accommodating. She was willing to work within our price range, gave helpful suggestions when I was unsure what to do about ceremony decorations, and agreed to have flowers repurposed for the reception (Note – other florists thought that was tacky and crazy, but Toni totally agreed that it was cost-effective and encouraged it). Her prices were reasonable and she was very flexible in working with my vision. She even started following my Pinterest wedding board to get a better feel for what I was looking for, especially because I hadn’t the slightest clue where to start with the flowers. However, because she is so busy, at times it was difficult to get a hold of her. Often I felt like I was hounding her with emails and voice messages both to her store and cell numbers. She scheduled our final consultation with me and then never called. I had read about this in other reviews so I never really worried about it that much, but if you are a more anxious bride it is definitely something to keep in mind. Also, there was some miscommunication the day of the wedding in terms of some of the flowers for the ceremony/reception and repurposing the flowers, even though it had been in the contract. That all being said, the day of my wedding my bouquets could not have been any more beautiful. They were
the most unique flowers I had ever seen. I absolutely loved them and could not have imagined anything more perfect. I am still in love with them a month later, and I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out. Another bonus was how Toni handled everything the day of the wedding. When she had questions about where everything was supposed to go at the venue, she called my phone and asked to speak with my Mom so that I wouldn’t have to deal with any additional stress. She also gave us some extra rose petals she had from a previous wedding to use for the ceremony. She is really a wonderful woman, and as long as you don’t mind being a bit more aggressive in terms of communicating and ensuring that everything is followed from the contract, you will be totally happy with the outcome. Thank you for the beautiful flowers Toni!
Toni Chandler is truly an artist. She was a pleasure to work with and delivered some of the most beautiful wedding bouquets and boutonnieres I have ever seen. She was happy to accomodate us with our small flower budget and made wine out of water with it. On the wedding day, she delivered our bouquets right to our front door. Everything was so easy and seamless. I could not believe how beautiful everything turned out! I couldn't recommend her highly enough!
I don't even know where to start with Toni Chandler! She is so incredibly talented! She can take your vision and make the most stunning bouquets and centerpieces that you have ever seen. Her work is breathtaking!
Going into my wedding, I had a vision but I didn't know much about flowers. When I explained my vision and shared pictures, she was able to capture this beautifully!
My flowers were simple, but she added touches that made them unique. Our centerpieces were a mix of three different styles. Some giant tall centerpieces, some low in vases, and some candlelight. It was absolutely eye-catching and beautiful!
When we left for our honeymoon, we were so sad to leave our flowers behind! I hope to have her make an anniversary piece for us every year because they were so breathtaking! My guests have not stopped talking about my bouquet and the table arrangements. I am so thankful for Toni!
I could not be happier with Toni's beautiful floral arrangements for my November wedding in Newport, RI. She listened to my requests so attentively and beautifully worked in my ideas and vision into the final pieces. I had special requests to tie in meaningful family heirlooms into the floral arrangements and Toni not only did this but truly appreciated the meaning of these pieces and how they represented her work. All of the guests at my wedding loved her work so much that my mother and aunt called Toni soon after the wedding to sing her praise. She represented my taste and love of the fall through the colors and textures of all of the floral arrangements and I am so happy I picked her as my wedding florist. I could not recommend her more highly!
Absolutely loved the flower arrangements & bouquets Toni made for our wedding. Even more beautiful that what I was visioning. Very talented, quick to follow-up, and SO happy with her service!! :)
Toni is an extremely talented florist. Toni herself listened to my vision and had many great ideas of her own. She even offered to try a few things on my behalf. The flowers on my wedding day were stunning- just what I wanted and so many of my guests complimented them. They were truly special and I couldn't be happier!
Toni and her team are the best! We met with Toni well before we had picked out our wedding color theme, and by just meeting us and without much info at all, she pulled together some photos of floral arrangements she thought we might like... and totally captured the look I had in mind! Throughout the entire planning process Toni was easy going and professional. Our wedding was weeks ago, and we are still getting compliments on the flowers and décor she provided. She worked directly with our other vendors to ensure everything would go exactly as she planned, and she showed up in person to give her best wishes and deliver my bridal bouquet the morning of the wedding. If you're looking for a personalized and stress free experience, Toni Chandler's the way to go!
We went to Toni because we were told that she was the lady to go to. She seemed to really listen to our ideas at our initial meeting and be on the same page as us. We requested Dahlias specifically as the focal and gave her my pinterest account as a reference point when it came closer to the event. She was expensive but we thought worth it because she seemed to get us and seemed to get on that personal level.
However, when the day of the wedding came, do not get me wrong, she did a good job however there was not ONE dahlia except for at cocktail hour. I specifically wanted them in centerpieces/bouquets. We had been there two days prior for our final meeting and saw the same floral arrangements that were at the wedding that was set up already. It was almost as though she threw them back in her freezer and used them two days later at our wedding.
We got hydrangeas which isn't a sin with Newport however I'm not an idiot on the expensive hydrangeas vs the ones you can pull from a tree anywhere.
Absolutely the best florist! Toni helped us with all of our ideas and kept everything within our budget - even offer up some tips to cut down the cost. All our wedding guests raved about the bouquets, center pieces, and all the flowers arrangements around our venue. Truly spectacular!
Working with Toni was one of the highlights of my wedding planning process. From day one, Toni provided excellent customer service and truly cared to bring my vision to reality. She was very accessible, innovative in her designs, mindful of remaining within budget, and just a delight to work with on a regular basis. The meeting with my mother and Toni in Newport was one of the best planning memories!
The day of the wedding, the flowers looked more gorgeous than I had ever imagined! Toni hand delivered all the flowers to my suite in beautiful, rustic baskets- everyone was speechless at how amazing everything looked. A talented, professional, and kind-hearted artist!
I liked Toni right off the bat when I met her. She was pleasant, friendly, and (most important) really interested in listening to what I wanted for my flowers. Also very important: she understood that I did not have unlimited money and was willing to work with me on the prices. I had some florists providing quotes that were twice as much as what I ultimately paid with Toni, and I did not feel that I had to sacrifice quality at all. She did a beautiful job on all the flowers. It was exactly what I wanted-- simple, classic arrangements of peonies and roses with hydrangeas and other touches of blue. It worked perfectly with the bridesmaids' dresses and my dress, and it made the reception look very pretty.
...and everyone agreed. Toni and I were pretty much on the same page for just about everything, although there were a couple details I felt fell a little short of their price.
The tables were lovely, lanterns and bridesmaids bouquets perfect, but we had been so excited for Christmas trees to be part of the mix, that I was a little disappointed with the quality of the fake ones that showed up. For what we paid to 'rent' them, we could have purchased much nicer ones ourselves and while she was dead on with the satin trimming on the tables and bouquets, the ribbon used to dress the trees was completely off. The rest of the room was deep red and crimson, while she used a candy apple red on the trees - I don't think anyone but me really noticed, but it almost looked cheesy.
Overall, Toni was easy to work with, had great ideas and followed through with execution, I'm just not sure what happened with those trees.
toni made beautiful flowers for our wedding. She was able to see my vision and deliver it. I was interested in a simple classic style of pink, green, and yellow peonies and roses. Toni did an amazing job. I had several comments from friends and family on how amazing and professional the flowers were. In addition, during the meeting i was describing my hesitation about the simple ivory linens and she was able to directly guide me to the rentals company neighboring her and advised me on beautiful blush linens.
My only delta for Toni is service. She is not the most responsive to emails or not always timely for meetings. She has an amazing assistant who definitely improves the service. And on the day of the wedding the flowers were delivered a bit last minute for comfort :) but they did make it on time and Toni personally delivered them.
Toni completely nailed our vision for our elegant winter wedding. When we met back in June, she was accommodating and flexible to our design style and budget needs. She was always available to answer any questions by email or phone. If she couldn't contact me personally, there was always an assistant in touch.
The morning of my wedding, she delivered a gorgeous arrangement with a card sent by my husband. She came back later in the afternoon and absolutely amazed me with my "go big or go home" bouquet. I cannot say enough about how absolutely stunning my bouquet was. It was fresh and full of every type of flower we had discussed at our meeting. The best part was that the anemones had perfectly opened up just in time for the ceremony. The black centers looked amazing! Toni also attached my rosary beads to the bottom for just the look I wanted.
Our ceremony and reception arrangements were perfect and elegant. All white hydrangeas which were full and lush with beautiful candlelight. I just can't say enough about what Toni did for Jason and I. Not only were our flowers amazing, but the Christmas decorations and arrangements all around our venue (OceanCliff) were done by Toni as well. This made for our perfect winter wedding.
Thank you, Toni!
I do not know where to start in expressing my gratitude for Toni's beautiful work. She and her team did a fantastic job with the floral design for our wedding at Glen Manor. I cannot say that I was surprised as it was so easy working with her entire team from the very beginning. When I first approached her for a consultation, I remember the warmth, professionalism, and enthusiasm she showed me. When (all) other florists balked at my conservative floral budget, Toni embraced me and my ideas, telling me that anything was possible and that I deserved to feel special for my big day. I still remember when Toni said that she wouldn't want florists treating her daughter as if her budget wasn't worth their time and so she wouldn't treat me that way. To have someone of her caliber and experience say that put me at ease. Though we never met in person prior to the wedding, I always had the utmost confidence in her and her work. She and her team answered my questions and reassured me every step of the way. She made my vision a reality.
I cannot tell you how many compliments we received on the floral arrangements during our wedding. The rooms at Glen Manor looked elegant and regal. The bridesmaids' bouquets were classic and perfect. My bouquet was out of this world. I will never forget the way the gardenias smelled that day and it is one of my favorite wedding memories. At the reception, I couldn't imagine throwing my bouquet and so I gifted it to my mother seeing as how gardenias are her favorite flowers. The candlelight throughout Glen Manor set the scene for a magical evening. Everything was absolutely breathtaking!
Toni is an angel. I hope that I will one day be able to work with her again for another event.
We would highly, highly recommend Toni!!. She did the flowers for our ceremony and reception. She is tech savvy and we were able to share lots of pictures and ideas over Pinterest, even though we were planning the wedding from out of town. From our initial meeting we could tell that Toni has great style and taste and takes a lot of pride in her work-- and that led to a really beautiful "wow" for us when it all came together at our wedding.
On the day everything looked even more amazing and lush than expected! She really made the most of our flower budget by re-using arrangements from the ceremony for the cocktail hour and reception. All flowers (bouquets and bouts) and decor were set up early for formal pictures. The bouquets were so pretty, and got a lot of compliments-- She and her team transformed the ceremony space for our reception. It all worked smoothly and came out gorgeous.
The thing with flowers is that you have to see them, so I highly recommend checking out her website and Pinterest pages!! (Her pictures really do show how fabulous she is!!)
Toni Chandler is absolutely outstanding, wonderful and amazing!! From the first time I met her she truly turned my wedding ideas into incredible possibilities and reality! She has so many incredible creative ideas and I truly felt comfortable letting her guide me through decorating each wedding space. All of the flowers and each space looked amazing and she will stop at nothing to make sure everything is exactly and perfectly as you want it! Highly recommend!! :)
I used Toni Chandler Flowers and Events for my wedding in Narragansett on 9/27/13. Being in the event industry myself, I was familiar with Toni's work and always knew I wanted her to do my flowers. Still, I was completely blown away at just how amazing everything looked the day of. Everything was spot on, from the use of my favorite flowers to the color palette to the overall design. Absolutely stunning, I am still getting compliments from my guests about how great my arrangements were! Toni nailed all of my "must haves" and even added some fantastic touches of her own that worked so well with my theme and the venue.Best of all, she came to the rescue and created an additional centerpiece for me last minute when I realized I had an extra table that I had missed. A big thank you to Toni and her team for creating the wedding flower package of my dreams...and within my budget!!
Had a great first meeting with Toni in person. We clicked and felt like she was very professional and represented a high quality service company.
Unfortunately, we didn't hear from her again until 2 weeks before the wedding. A little stressful. The flowers the day of the wedding were beautiful, BUT I had specifically told her the only flower I DO NOT WANT are roses. The day of the wedding, my bouquet, as well as my centerpieces were half done with roses. They were pretty but not want I wanted. Clearly there was nothing I could do at that point. Very disappointing when you are paying a lot of money and you don't get what you paid for.
Even though the flowers and arrangements were absolutely beautiful unfortunately I can not recommend Toni as I had a very negative experience. I had Toni create a Chuppah for me and we had been planning for months that we would use a special traditional piece of fabric (talis) that is very important to my family. During the ceremony when the rabbi mentioned my family’s talis I looked up to discover that it was not my family’s talis. This was devastating for me. Her lack of honesty and inability to take responsibility for this unfortunate event is very unprofessional and I would hate to see anyone else have a similar experience.
When you meet with Toni--and you should--she'll probably tell you a story about the crazy bride who brought a 30+ slide powerpoint filled with inspiration images for each and every detail of her wedding.
Well, that bride was me. As a design blogger, flower fanatic and militant PR professional, I was a tough client with a really specific vision.
Toni instantly understood what I was going for, and asked lots of smart questions that ensured she got it right.
The flowers at my wedding (at Glen Manor) not only met, but exceeded my expectations. The arrangements were classic with a touch of wildness about them that felt fresh and modern. Many guests commented that they were the most beautiful arrangements they had seen at a wedding. In short, Toni really nailed it.
If you're getting married in Newport and the surrounding areas, you MUST use her.
Toni provided our flowers and decor for our July 4th wedding at Oceancliff. From the beginning, she worked with our budget and had fantastic ideas for our holiday wedding. We wanted to ensure that we honored the day tastefully and without too much literal interpretation of red, white and blue, but with a hint of vintage appeal. Toni helped us accomplish this through design and color.
The amount of flowers and quality of the table arrangements were spectacular. The ivory hydrangeas and roses, (tall and small arrangements), were the perfect accent to the grand ballroom. My red rose bouquet was the perfect touch of red and the rest of the bridal party flowers were classic ivory roses to stay within our theme. She also provided our ceremony flower arch and draping which was exquisitely done as well as red roses for our cocktail table arrangements. Finally, to add to our limoncello favors she made a custom lemon tree, which had everyone talking! Toni is very reasonably priced and her designs are classic and elegant. importantly, she listened to our vision of the day and conveyed that in her designs beautifully.
I loved the floral arrangements at my wedding. My bouquet was so beautiful and the colors matched so nicely with our wedding colors. I was very pleased with everything and would definitely recommend Toni Chandler to future brides!
When I first met with Toni, she asked me for a few words to describe my overall vision for the wedding and I said something like "vintage romance" and our colors were gray and "pale, soft, romantic pink" and was adamant about no "Barbie" pink. I had a few random picture of flowers I pinned from Pinterest and the Knot that I showed Toni and she instantly understood what I was looking for.
We were married outside at the Hyatt next to the lighthouse so we needed some ceremony flowers to create a central focal point at the ends of the aisle, and flowers down the rows of chairs. Toni's creations were nothing short of amazing. She framed the aisle exactly the way I envisioned if not better. The shabby chic, unstructured arrangements were just the loose and romantic look I wanted. She provided pillars and banistuals for the flowers that stayed put in the high winds that day.
For the reception, I wanted a combination of high and low centerpieces and Toni created stunning arrangements. The lower version was a vintage mercury glass vase with shades of pale pink and cappuccino colored roses, pale pink peonies, and white hydrangea with silvery dusty miller. The taller version was on a white candelabra with a few perfectly placed crystals dripping down.
My bouquet was perfect - the perfect size, shape, and colors to complement my vision. The bridesmaids flowers were complementary to the shade of the dress (I sent Toni a dress swatch).
For the men, Toni created lovely (yet masculine!) boutonnieres that matched the overall look and feel of the wedding.
Our wedding was about three months ago and people are still raving about how amazing the flowers were.
Thank you, Toni!!
Very happy with our flowers, and the service provided by Toni and her assistant, Ali. Toni wanted our wedding to look as beautiful as we did. Both she and Ali were attentive and responsive to our needs. She was the only florist we met with, and I'm happy we didn't explore other options. Great job.
Toni blew me away with the flowers for our wedding day! I didn't give her much to work with -- just our colors, a few pictures of things I liked, and a budget, and she worked her magic. Everything was as I had imagined it, and everybody commented on how beautiful the centerpieces and bouquets looked the day of the wedding. At the last minute, my mom wanted to add a touch of red to her flowers, and Toni was even able to make that fit beautifully with our purple and green color scheme! It was such a pleasure working with Toni and her team -- would definitely recommend!
When I ever saw Toni's work on her webpage, I was thinking "I've got to book her!".. I made an appt. and she worked with my budget as I was hoping she would. She made great suggestions about re-purposing flower arrangements from my ceremony to the reception.. which turned out to be an excellent idea of course. She is basically a mind reader.. I showed her different bouquets I like and even though I was ALL OVER THE PLACE with ideas, she knew exactly what I wanted! It was great to feel care free when it came to a very important part of my wedding.
When I ever saw the bouquets come to my house, I was in awe of how gorgeous they were! She hit the nail on the head for sure. I was so excited to see what the ceremony and reception spaces were going to look like at that point!
We had spoken a few days before about adding two corsages and although they didn't arrive at my house they made sure to bring them ASAP when I told them this! Excellent customer service. Emails were promptly replied to and Toni and her staff were nothing but helpful.
My reception and ceremony space were gorgeous.. the bouquets were amazing.. I wish I could have kept everything forever!
I could rant for days about how great Toni Chandler is at what she does, but you should find out for yourselves :)
It was pleasure working with Toni Chandler and her incredibly professional and responsive team. Toni worked with us to balance our creative hopes;) and budget limits, which was greatly appreciated! The flowers were beautiful and many of our guests commented on how lovely the dinner center pieces were! We would highly recommend Toni.
Toni does amazing work! She transformed the room into something I've never seen before. We told her the flowers we wanted and she worked with us and our budget. She did an amazing job at the church and with my bridesmaids and my bouquets. Everything was gorgeous and I highly recommend her!
My fiance and I were working on a pretty tight budget for flowers. Toni listened to what we were hoping for and produced a budget-friendly plan to produce our winter wonderland. She made our venue and ceremony look exactly the way she described. She certainly delivered and she was incredibly easy to work with! I highly suggest using Toni for her creative ideas and willingness to work with her clients.
