We could not recommend Craig more for florals! He was able to take our color scheme and ideas for flowers and turn it into the most beautiful florals. He offered so much more than guidance with florals - he gave us ideas that we implemented throughout our wedding day. His experience with flowers and weddings is unmatched!
Craig was one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding. He gave so many good tips, even ones not flower-related. He really strives to reuse flowers from the ceremony for the reception so nothing goes to waste. He also uses local suppliers.
Outside of giving him our color palette and telling him a few flowers we don’t like, I (a very type A person) let him do his thing and just trusted it would all come out wonderful. He did an amazing job and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Craig Sole Designs! Craig Sole was our florist for our New Year's Eve wedding day and absolutely did an amazing job. We clicked instantly with Craig during our first meeting. He is not only so personable, but his wealth of industry experience gave us so many great ideas for our wedding. We gave him our initial vision for the wedding florals and by our final meeting, Craig had nailed down exactly what we had envisioned. Come our wedding day, we could not get over how beautiful everything was. The bouquets, centerpieces, backdrop, ceiling, dessert table, and the list goes on. Craig also showed the bridesmaids how to hold the bouquet on the wedding day and ensure everyone was ready for the pictures. He also stayed at the venue as long as possible to ensure everything was prefect before he left. We would absolutely recommend Craig Sole and his team for any weddings or events!
Any questions?
Craig and his team were absolutely incredible! Craig even took some pictures for me when my mom was helping me get ready. He has so much experience and wisdom to share about all things wedding. He is an artist and I loved everything he did!
Craig came very highly recommended to us by friends and I can certainly see why! I will tell anyone I know getting married to book Craig and his team for their wedding florals. He went above and beyond to understand and execute my vision. He also taught the ladies how to hold their flowers properly, which the lesson was blast in and of itself.
Craig made my vision come to life! I only met with one florist and it was him, I knew from the moment I met him, he was passionate about what he was doing and I trusted him completely.
Craig's floral designs were beyond perfect and he had the perfect decor to create our Game of Thrones theme.
Craig is amazing. If I could give him extra stars I would. He is great to work with, fun to talk to and listens. He gave us some great ideas, trained everyone on how to hold and carry a bouquet for the best photos. And all of that was before we even saw our flowers. The flowers were more than we could have imagined they would be. They were stunning!!! We will recommend Craig to everyone we know that is looking for a florist and even those who aren't but might be someday. We can't say enough good things about Craig, his team and the beautiful, stunning work they do with flowers.
Craig is incredible to work with! He’s super passionate about what he does and does an amazing job. He is extremely creative and made our Christmas themed wedding reception come to life. He makes the process super fun and easy!
Craig was AMAZING! He took my ideas of what I wanted and 100% exceeded that! He is so kind and easy to work with! I received SO many compliments on all of the floral at my wedding. You will not be disappointed choosing Craig Sole Designs!
Craig Sole was wonderful to work with for my wedding. I received so many compliments on my bridal bouquet. It was shaped so beautifully with a complex array of flowers, colors and textures. The bouquet was elegant, and I felt wonderful carrying it. Craig came by the church to deliver the flowers, and he pinned on photo charms of my late Father and Grandfather, which was a special touch.
Craig was absolutely amazing to work with, his years in the industry shown upon our first meeting and fed into the wedding. He was a joy to work with and his vision impeccable. with his floral touches our wedding cake became a focal point of the wedding. From my bouquet to the boutonniers and the center pieces he and his team created, everything was a dream.
Craig is absolutely the best! From the first time I met him, up to the wedding day, he was nothing short of perfect, providing any help that was needed. His vision for design and his incredible people skills led to a world class experience for my husband and I. I will never suggest another florist, besides Craig, again! I 100% recommend using Craig Sole Designs.
Craig immediately understood my vision for my wedding and helped make it a reality. He and his staff (shout out to Seth) were exceptionally hard working and infinitely prepared. During the photos, he was helping people get posed and even helping my grandmother up some stairs! A true floral rockstar!
This is the level of service you receive from the best florist in the business. There is an eighth natural wonder of the world, and it is Craig Sole!
Craig came up with a great design for all our flowers and kept it within budget! The flowers were beautiful, and we loved the nosegays. I would highly recommend Craig.
I can not describe all the wonderful, unique, and amazing things about Craig, but I will try to make a few. First, Craig was much more than a florist he had so many wonderful tips, tricks, and ideas from venue set up to where my Mom could find her dress. He has such a great attitude and does exceptional work. After the first meeting with Craig my sister and mother and I couldn’t say enough how much we loved him! Day of the wedding so many people came up to me and told me how wonderful he was from family, wedding party, and even vendors! Craig made my day feel so special, his flowers were amazing and his presence was so wonderful! Can’t say enough good things.
For flowers Craig Sole Designs is the best! I called everyone in town, and they either said teardrops would be too difficult, or they were booked and to call Craig Sole! Its a small family run buisness run out of a building that used to be a house they turned into a beautiful flower shop!! They have been in the business for years. If it's difficult Pinterest type idea you have in your head, Craig knows what he is doing and can do anything! I had no real plan in my head and my bouquet was so gorgeous! All I said was no yellow red or orange and I wanted a teardrop and I was shocked by what he created! He even teaches you how to hold it to make you look the best depending on the shape or type of bouquet. Craig is a wonderful and fun man! Every interaction I had with him was a blast! I told him I needed flowers to decorate our cake and he said "how big is it, and what color flowers?" I told him and he said he knew exactly what and how many we would need! He is so much fun and will make you a work of art out of flowers that will literally make you gasp when you see it! I will use him for any future flower needs! He is a kind honest man who wants to make sure you are taken care of! When I asked him about preserving my bouquet he said don't... that it costs way too much usually twice as much as you pay for a bouquet itself and to spend that money on the honeymoon or something else that would be more worthy of the price tag! I really recommend This gem of a florist! They will work their hardest to make sure the flowers on your big day are perfect! Whether you only purchase a bouquet for yourself like I did, or if you go all the way and buy flowers to fill the whole venue, bouquets for all your bridesmaids, and boutonnieres! He will treat you exactly the same, with the same care, respect, and support! He would have delivered my one bouquet, but unfortunately he had 3 weddings that day, and I was so thankful he still accepted me as a client! He said he could add in one more bouquet no problem once I let him know I couldn't find anyone else and they all kept telling me that I should call him. I also found Craig himself or someone else, since everyone there is equally kind, knowledgeable and helpful, are always super easy to get ahold of on the phone daily if you ever have any questions or concerns! Sole Designs really are the best at what they do! You will not be disappointed if you choose to share your Big Day with them!
We love Craig & his team! They scream creativity and customer service. We liked all our vendors, but Craig Sole was by far our favorite vendor to work with. I was determined to have a flower-less wedding after an unpleasant experience with botany in college, but when I met Craig at a show, we talked for an hour and I hired him to guarantee more time with his sunny personality! We found our cake & officiant at Craig's suggestion, and he even tied my husband's bow tie at the wedding. I loved his floral nosegays instead of bouquets, but otherwise had no floral vision and Craig created the most beautiful Edwardian mantle display with cascading ribbons and buds, and a floral arch which lit up for the evening festivities. Beyond the creativity, Craig was more than flexible as the backdrop for our ceremony changed with the final guest count, then especially accommodating and kind when we postponed our March wedding for the pandemic with one week's notice. I've only met a handful of kind, creative souls like Craig, and you'll want him around for your wedding. Our guests were delighted by his flowers and so were we! We're planning to work with him for upcoming community fundraisers as well.
Could not have asked for a better florist! Craig was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. He offered great advice and perspective on all things wedding related in addition to his beautiful floral arrangements. We received so many complements on our centerpieces and bouquets. His designs did an amazing job of transforming our outdoor site into the wedding I had always dreamed of. Could not recommend him highly enough!!
Craig was definitely my favorite vendor to deal with for my wedding. I met with a couple floral vendors before meeting with him, but none compared to his cool/hip/groovy vibe. Immediately he made me feel like my ideas were possible and worked with us. Grooviest man in OP/KC.
Craig is a hoot to work with! He is so passionate and knowledgeable about flowers. He made my wedding vision come true!! We met with him several times before the wedding and he was very welcoming and personable. I’d highly recommend him to any brides looking for a florist!
Craig Sole was amazing to work with for our wedding. We met with him several times to work through our vision for the big day and to finalize flowers and centerpieces for our event space. His team did an amazing job on the flowers and making sure to incorporate several special touches to make our day even more memorable. They did a great job of working to create unique arrangements and centerpieces and helped us stay within our budget. We loved working with Craig and would recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful flowers for their big day.
This man is unbelievably talented at what he does. He is an expert in all things “wedding” and will put you immediately at ease during a very stressful time. He was flexible and accommodating to our budget. Can’t forget he’s hilarious and just an overall pleasure to work with!
Craig is one of my favorite people now. If you are looking for a florist who you will LOVE and not simply work with, Craig is your guy. He helped my dreams come to life and made our wedding absolutely beautiful! He goes above and beyond to bring it all together. Craig and his team are fantastic!
I can't say enough about Craig and his team! When it came to flowers, I had no idea what I wanted. I went to Craig with a few thoughts on what I was thinking and he ran with it from there. I brought him about 30 lanterns and I thought he would hate me, but he took them and made them just what we needed. From the centerpieces to the bouquets and everything in between, it was perfect! He is so fun and easy to work with, I absolutely enjoyed every part of it. Thank you Craig!
Seriously amazing. Craig and his team were wonderful to work with and I could not have asked for more beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding. Thank you so much Craig and team!
Just make it easy for yourself - choose Craig Sole Designs and be prepared to have beautiful flowers at your wedding. Our initial consultation with Craig was fun, exciting, thorough and set us up for everything we needed for our wedding. As soon as we met Craig, we knew that we could leave everything in him and his team's hands. We shared what our vision was, some likes and dislikes (visuals were helpful), and our flowers came out even more beautiful than we could have imagined! A week before the wedding, I wanted to add in flower pieces for my hair, and they did it easily. They looked beautiful!
Craig also helped us find someone to make pies for our wedding, was a wealth of knowledge for all types of wedding things (how to hold your bouquet), and just a wonderful person to be around. We also loved how he reused our flowers from the ceremony for the reception! Craig Sole Designs is so amazing and we absolutely love Craig.
Craig Sole was the best to work with! We met with him a couple times and we completely trusted him with our flowers! I told him what I was looking for and the flowers turned out way better than anything I could've ever hoped for! Him and his team also reused flowers from the ceremony to the reception and transported them from each venue for us. Craig also came to our venue while we were getting ready and showed the bridesmaids how to hold their flowers without covering up their dresses. He was so much fun to work with. I would recommend him to anyone!
First of all, I have to lead off with - I ADORE Craig. If I could have him as a family member, or at least a best friend to hang around all day, I absolutely would. He is hilarious, sweet, sincere, and fun to be around, much less work with. I loved working with him as well because he tells it like it is, gives fantastic advice and suggestions, and the end results are GORGEOUS. I was so happy with his arrangements, and quite a few of our guests asked to take some of his arrangements home with them. He also has a wonderful team who I adored working with as well. If you stop by his business, make sure to play with his kitten, Crickett!!! Thank you for making my day as beautiful as I had dreamed, Craig!!
I LOVED my flowers!!!!! Craig absolutely blew my mind with the bouquets - he is incredibly talented. The centerpieces were exactly what I had hoped for, and I didn't give him much direction! More importantly, he played a huge role in our surprise wedding. We invited everyone to our engagement party, where our bouquets were hiding in plain sight as part of the decor. As one of the few people who knew about the surprise, he stayed at the party to help organize the chaos! He was able to get all of the bridesmaids organized and gave us quick bouquet lessons during our 20 minute room flip/dress change. He really went above and beyond from start to finish and he is a JOY to work with. Not only were the flowers gorgeous, but he kept me laughing the whole time. His work is brilliant and he is so fun - what more could you ask for?
I cannot say enough good things about Craig! He did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding And. The flowers were more than I could have ever asked for! He took my ideas and created exactly what I wanted. He wasn’t only my florist, he gave me so many great ideas and tips for my wedding and even helped coordinate the day of. Without him, I wouldn’t have held my bouquet correctly. I would definitely recommend Craig to anyone looking for an amazing florist.
coordinate the day of
I cannot say enough great things about Craig and his team. My husband and I sat down with him, with just a few ideas, and our venue location, and the 3 of us created a full floral vision for our wedding. My bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquet, the boutonnieres, the European nose gays, the center pieces, and the cake topper were all GORGEOUS!! Craig delivered and setup the flowers the day of, and came back after all the dancing was done to retrieve everything . He was easy to work with and offered lots of great advice and even showed me and my bridesmaids the best and most picturesque way to hold our bouquets. If you're looking for elegance and that "wow" factor for your floral arrangements and still have a budget to maintain, look no further than Craig Sole Designs!
The flowers from Craig Sole Designs made our wedding so special and unique. First Craig works with you to understand what you are trying to achieve with your wedding. Second, he teaches you how hold the bouquets, pin on the flowers, etc. It is so helpful.
Craig had all the flowers ready for us to pick up or he can deliver them to your venue. We got so many compliments on the flowers it was insane.
The flowers for my wedding were beautiful. Craig made the process of getting my flowers super easy especially since I do not know much about flowers to begin with. I also had Craig move the flowers from the church to the reception venue so it took a lot of stress off of me to find someone to take them over for me. I highly recommend Craig for any of your flower needs!
Craig is a pro and he has a wealth of wedding knowledge. Our flowers were gorgeous! Highly, highly recommend!
Craig combined our preferences with his creative vision flawlessly! Everything from the church decorations, to the bouquets, to the centerpieces were absolutely beautiful. He was so incredibly helpful, not only with floral arrangements but with so many other aspects of the wedding. We actually chose a few of our other vendors based on his suggestions and we couldn't be any happier! Thank you so much Craig for making our night so beautiful!
Craig is amazing, and his designs are stunning. And by stunning I mean stop-in-your-tracks and appreciate the beauty of the moment because EVERYTHING LOOKS GORGEOUS. His arrangements transformed our ceremony and reception, with everyone raving about the flowers. But aside from being the best at what he does, he has this wonderful and warm personality, and is delightful to work with. Craig is an artist while I’m the analytical type, so it was a ton of fun just figuring out what to do and leveraging his creative personality. He will take whatever ideas you have (whether it’s virtually nothing or an entire vision), and then make your entire event beautiful. And really, he’s just easy to fall in love with…I can’t imagine having chosen anyone else!
Craig is so wonderful and so creative- he made my wedding as beautiful as i ever imagined. He is fabulous to work with and a true visionary. He made the wedding experience so much fun and added an extra creative touch to my big day. He is amazing and my flowers were gorgeous!
Made my wedding perfect! Craig is an amazing florist and went above and beyond my expectations. Our flowers were better than perfect and he even used flowers that dried beautifully after we discussed that I enjoy repurposing things that would typically be thrown away. He made a garland that was put on a gazebo we were married in front of and it was well worth it. I am almost sad that my wedding is over because getting to visit Craig and his staff was always so enjoyable! I know that any time I need flowers and flower arrangements, I will be committed to getting them from Craig Sole Designs. Thank you, Craig!!
Craig is extraordinary. He is as kind as he is talented! He took into consideration my specific tastes, my vision, and my budget and created the flower arrangements of my dreams! I live in NYC but decided to get married in my hometown of Kansas City and I didn't really know who to use as my vendors. I am so glad I went with Craig. I can't say enough great things about him and his crew!
I can't say enough positive things about Craig & his entire team. They are so creative, flexible, and a joy to work with. Flowers were a very important component to me as I think arrangements can completely transform a space, and beautiful bouquets make wedding pictures that much prettier. I had so many different color schemes in my head and changed my mind about 5 times, and each time Craig was so helpful and fun to bounce ideas off of. In the end, he helped bring all of my ideas together and create bouquets/arrangements that were more beautiful than I could have imagined!
Craig was the first florist I called (by recommendation) and I was sold immediately. He has impeccable instinct and is incredibly receptive to the look I was going for. Not only did he deliver BEAUTIFUL arrangements to my wedding, but he went above and beyond to help put me at ease. I would recommend Craig to anyone needing floral services
From the moment we met Craig, he had a beautiful vision for our wedding. His knowledge of the wedding industry goes beyond just flowers, he assisted with other parts of the wedding as well. He knows how to compliment any venue, and achieve the look you want, making his flower arrangements an art form.
Craig did such a fantastic job with our wedding, I don't even know where to begin! From our very first meeting, I knew Craig was a stickler for details. He made sure to understand every step of our ceremony and reception so that he could offer suggestions for flowers. When envisioning my wedding, I never really had a clear idea of what I wanted for my flowers. After chatting with Craig, he helped me figure out what style would look best in the space provided. Craig & his entire team were so professional on the day of the wedding, I could not imagine my day without his fun personality in it!
Craig absolutely nailed the florals for our November 4th outdoor wedding. I had a fairly detailed idea of what aesthetic I wanted (woodsy, lots of greenery, Colorado-esque florals) and even some certain flower types in mind. From the first meeting to the day of, Craig worked with us to ensure my vision was not only met but exceeded on the day of by listening to my ideas and then suggesting additions that I would have never thought of but loved. No idea I threw out was too crazy or far fetched and it was a great, collaborative process. My fiance, family and myself absolutely LOVED how everything turned out and it was even better than I imagined. Craig even tracked down a special last-minute request of a flower type that I wanted to have included in my bridal bouquet the week before when I asked about it. Craig and his team also came back to our venue after our reception ended so we could donate all of the flowers. Absolute perfection from start to finish working with Craig. You will not regret working with him!
Craig is amazing and so helpful! His flower arrangements are beautiful and he goes above and beyond with every aspect. He is a family friend and we just love him! His personality is great and his shop is fun to visit. He gives a lot of wedding related advice that is extremely helpful! Photographer tips, reception layout ideas, etc. He is a real artist when it comes to floral design and he really knows how to do weddings!
Craig was absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I knew the moment we met with him he was our florist!!!! I trusted him from the beginning! He took the arrangements to a whole new level! Everyone raved about how beautiful all the arrangements turned out!!! Hand down THE BEST florist in Kansas!!Actually he is the best in the USA!!!! I would not waste my time on anyone else! PLEASE go see Craig!!! Thanks sooooooo much Craig for making my wedding! It truly was the icing on the cake!!!!
Craig Sole was one of our favorite vendors during the planning of my daughter's wedding! He was so fun and helpful and had many great ideas. Working with him was such a joy! He is so talented and honest so we never had to worry about anything and he provided such beautiful flowers for us. Can't imagine choosing anyone else to provide for all our floral needs!
Craig Sole is hands down the best florist in the Kansas City area. His arrangements he created for my wedding were absolutely breathtaking. He soared above my expectations to create a wedding that was simply magical. Craig was a dream to work with offering suggestions while still keeping my wishes at heart. I can't thank Craig and his crew enough for all of their hard work in making my special day even more special.
Craig is an amazing florist !! He pays attention to every detail and truly loved his work ! He was even able to do custom things I wanted! The pricing was very reasonable and I'm sooo happy he was our florist ! The flowers brought such beauty to my wedding ! Craig has a wonderful personality that will keep you smiling !
Craig is beyond amazing thank you
DeShawn and Amanda
Craig is by far the best florist in Kansas City with very reasonably pricing. He did such a great job with everything. I was so happy with the outcome of the wedding flowers. He is so easy and fun to work with. I gave him little information on the vision for my wedding (because I simply did not know) and yet he made the absolute perfect arrangements! Communication with Craig was very easy with a quick turn around time. I would highly recommend Craig!
Craig was the florist for our Winter wedding this past December. I was (not surprisingly) so pleased with his work! Our bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony arrangements were beautiful and Craig's "english garden" style made our wedding even more dreamy. He also included some candle towers, votives etc. at no additional charge.
He is easy to work with and creative and can work within budgets. He delivered everything as promised, and on time! I absolutely recommend Craig Sole!
Craig Sole is in one word FABULOUS! From the minute we sat down with him, we knew he would be our florist! The flowers for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding could not have been better. Craig was a delight to work with and I would highly recommend him for any floral needs! He listens and he delivers!
Craig is the best! He made my wedding more beautiful than I could have imagined! Not only were the flowers beautiful but Craig also was so helpful in fulfilling the vision I had for my wedding! He went above and beyond the flowers and helped us from everything from the centerpieces to the layout of the room to how to coordinate the flow of the evening with our DJ! I could not recommend Craig enough!
Craig did a great job and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous! He was so much fun to work with and had a ton of great advice about each part of our wedding. He is so sincere and easy to work with. I'm grateful someone suggested him to me because it was a great decision!
Craig Sole made my wedding dreams come true! I had a crazy idea for a flower "wall" and he went above and beyond to create something better than I could have ever imagined. I walked in to the wedding venue on the day of our wedding and was in awe of the beautiful centerpieces and flower "curtain" Craig created for us. And he managed to do all this within our budget!
I didn't know anything about flowers (or much about planning a wedding, honestly) when I first met with Craig. He taught me so much throughout the process and you have the sense he is one of those rare people who truly enjoys helping and educating people. He was more than our flower vendor, he gave me great ideas for the wedding and was so patient when helping me make decisions.
Our entire experience with Craig was delightful, organized and beautiful!
Craig Sole made such beautiful floral decorations for our wedding! Not only is he a genius with flowers, he also gives amazing advice for how to make a wedding flow with brilliance, sweet ideas for wedding traditions (love knot in the bouquet), how to pose for pictures, etc etc. We were very blessed to have this fella as a part of our special day! Thank you so much Craig!! Alex and I couldn't have been more pleased with everything you did!
Craig made our wedding day over the top! We met with Craig multiple times to make sure every detail was perfect. I had changed my mind so many times and Craig stayed on top and didn't miss a beat. Our centerpieces were top of the line and so elegant. Our favorite part was the ceremony arch, Craig just completely nailed it. Craig Sole will exceed your expectations.
I would remiss in my "duties" as a bride if I did not leave Craig Sole a five star review. I cannot begin to describe how absolutely phenomenal this gentleman is: his meticulous attention to detail, passion, and careful consideration of every one he works with is second to none. I knew from the moment my mother and I walked up to his home that I had found my florist; I didn't need to look anywhere else. The whimsical ivy covering the house, the flowers everywhere and the cat (!!!) on the front porch sealed the deal. And then we actually met him. He spent over two hours listening attentively to what we wanted and came up with all kinds of delightful and very helpful suggestions on how to make our day amazing. The flowers he gave me were everything I had hoped for an more. Also he is a hoot and a half to work with! Needless to say, we will never get our flowers from anywhere else. He is incredibly talented and it would be downright foolish for you to use anyone else.
If I could recommend one vendor to anyone starting their wedding planning, it would be Craig Sole for floral arrangements! Craig and team were absolutely phenomenal. The arrangements were simply breathtaking. From the rehearsal dinner pieces, to the ceremony alter arrangements, the boutonnieres and corsages, and most importantly to me the bouquets- Craig has a vision for everything. And more importantly he listens to you and takes what you want and envision in to account in the designs. Craig Sole Designs isn't just about making flower arrangements, it's about creating magnificent works of art. They are unique yet elegant. He can tailor the pieces to exactly your style and needs. Craig and his staff have a real eye for the details as well and know exactly what to do for each piece to make them all different yet uniform in nature. What is unique about Craig Sole designs is that they have a huge inventory of vases, pedestals, votives, alters pieces, etc. So if your vendor doesn't supply these pieces, Craig will set up and deliver them so you don't have to. Craig made everything very relaxed-- and the flowers last over 2 weeks after the wedding!!!! He is truly the best florist in town and I will continue to use him for all my floral needs in the future!
Craig Sole and team created amazing floral designs for my wedding! The floral exceeded my expectations!! Craig went above and beyond to get a certain flower that was special to me. I cannot recommend Craig Sole Designs enough!!
We are so happy we chose Craig to do the floral pieces for our wedding! He is so experienced and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to ask to help me narrow down what look I was going for. He also provided a wealth of suggestions about our floral choices as well as advice for the wedding in general. He brought out many different flowers to help me visualize what the final product might look like, and the final product was gorgeous! He also loaned us enough mason jars with our center pieces for each table, vases for the bridal party bouquets, and stands for the altar flowers. We couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you so much, Craig!
I am not sure there are words to describe just how amazing Craig is. I think one of the most important things about planning a wedding is having vendors you trust to do a fabulous job and to give you exactly what you envisioned even if you, yourself, don't know yet. Craig did an outstanding job with all of our flowers. From the rehearsal dinner, ceremony alter, table/center pieces, boutonnieres, corsages, all the way to the flowers on the cake. Craig has a gift for making every piece so unique, down to every detail. Craig also have a huge inventory of all sorts of vases, pedestals, votives, alters, the list goes on and on. It was nice being able to use Craig as a resource for those rather than bringing in another vendor. It was a stress free process, all because of Craig. He is truly the best you could ever use.
Craig is absolutely amazing! His team is so responsive, brilliant thinkers and great listeners. There is no doubt that you will quickly form a fabulous relationship with Craig. He not only is incredibly knowledgeable about floral arrangements and styling but he knows so much about weddings. He provides great insight. Craig and his team were incredibly responsive throughout the entire 20-month engagement. They took care of every little detail (even details I thought we would have to manage) -- from delivery, to advice, to the flowers on the cake to last minute changes and pick up -- Craig made me day so magical! I would highly recommend Craig.
I can't believe Craig hasn't gotten more reviews by now! I guess he's just my favorite little OP secret, because Craig Sole is the wedding florist of your dreams!!! We came in with a vision and he literally made it come to life in a couple of sit down meetings (We sat around 5 hours total, but we chatted a lot... ha! Regardless he really gives you his attention!). He focuses on you, what you want, AND what your budget is - while adding in his 30+ years of experience and creative genius. He's so congenial and enjoyable to be around, I'd go back to just to hang out with him in his inspiring little downtown OP house turned florist shop. I felt that Craig was invested in making my wedding come to life as more than just a florist, but also a friend and an all around designer as well. Our venue was a little different (a restaurant) and we only had about 100 people but he still jumped right in with us. He's been doing this for so long and he saved us on so many things simply with his free ideas! He came to help set up himself on the day of with his staff and I was just so appreciative of everything he did and said that I cannot stress enough how amazing our experience was with Craig and his entire staff! I think he used to do much bigger weddings primarily, but now he just wants everyone to be able to have the wedding of their dreams. Go meet this guy, you won't regret it! :)
Craig is a legend. His studio alone is a very magical place to be. I am an artist myself and he seemed to understand me and the way I think and was delightful to work with. He understood my vision for the wedding immediately and I never had to worry again about flowers. His staff was punctual, friendly and very professional on the day of. I would not hesitate to recommend Craig, he does amazing work. I feel like I lucked out working with him. He was by far one of my very favorite vendors.
This guy is a total artist. And that comes complete with organized chaos. His place is filled head to toe with flowers and plants and everything you could think of needing for weddings or other events. I don't know how he stays on top of it all, but he does. And he does an absolutely beautiful job doing it. Craig also comes with a ton of helpful advice, so when you meet with him, come ready to take notes. He totally got my style for the wedding. I didn't get particularly specific with things, but I trusted he would know what to do and when the flowers showed up, they were perfect. The whole wedding was perfect. Thanks, Craig!
Craig did a fabulous job. Prior to the wedding, Craig provided knowledgeable feedback and advice to help us make decisions about the various flower arrangements we wanted for our wedding ceremony and reception. On our wedding day, Craig provided gorgeous bouquets, boutonnieres, floral arrangements for the ceremony and reception, and a beautifully decorated arch. We truly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone! He is passionate about what he does and won't let you down.
Craig did an amazing job incorporating all of our elements. The bouquets, boutonnieres and bracelets were the perfect size, color and look. The altar arrangements were absolutely gorgeous. Not only did he provide suggestions during our consultation, but he shared several wedding tips, which were very helpful. Craig went above and beyond to make our day so perfect. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a talented, professional florist.
Craig is one of a kind! We enjoyed working with him, not only is he a magnificent florist but a true artist. He worked with us to execute our vision and made true works of art that were everything we imagined and more. Craig and his staff are timely, professional and attentive. They had us come into the shop the week of the wedding to look at the flowers and make sure our visions were aligned. He knows his stuff! Craig personally pinned all the men's boutonnieres and gave a holding bouquet 101 to the bride and bridesmaids. We enjoyed every appointment with him. After working with Craig we will not get flowers from anywhere else!
Craig Sole is the BEST floral, artistic designer in town. My daughter was married on May 7, 2016. He listened to our vision, he put it all together and even more! It was just fabulous, elegant, Outstanding! I would never choose anyone else!
Everyone I spoke to seemed to have heard of Craig Sole...and they all raved about him. They still didn't do him justice! His guidance through a process with which I was unfamiliar was invaluable. He offered so many examples and ideas, which is exactly what I needed. Craig is a perfect example of why you hire a professional. We talked at length about the sort of things I liked, the venue, the tone we were trying to set and even without me having specific, set ideas he knew the direction I was going with the wedding and reception and provided stunning arrangements the enhanced every aspect of our venue from the bouquets to centerpieces to flowers on our cake. Honestly...I'd want to have another big event just so I could work with Craig again! The man simply works magic.
Wow, words cannot describe how beautiful the flowers were for my wedding. Craig Sole Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with and created floral designs better than we could have imagined. I met with Craig Sole a couple months before the wedding, as an initial meeting, and hired him after that meeting. In that initial meeting, Craig gave myself and my mother SO many tips regarding various aspects of the wedding that we utilized at the wedding. For instance, Craig noted my color choices were both cool colors and flowers of those colors would disappear in the dim lighting of my reception venue, and showed us pictures as examples. From there, he showed us different shades of the colors I wanted that would show up in the dim lighting, keeping with the colors I wanted just manipulating the shades of the colors to work better in the environment. Outside of flowers, he gave us many tips regarding table layout in the room, etiquette with my fiance's divorced parents to make them most comfortable, how to decorate the tables, and tips in many other areas of the wedding. Back to flowers, most of our wedding guests (we had 130 total guests) commented on how beautiful the flowers looked. We had 2 big displays, flowers as the centerpiece on 14 round tables, bridesmaid bouquets, bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, and wrist corsages. Craig Sole gave us great suggestions on how to use the flowers in multiple places to keep costs down (e.g., the bridal bouquet was the center piece on a family table at the reception, so one less center piece for a table was needed). Finally, after the event, Craig Sole Designs was incredibly flexible on the return of their vases. We took the flowers to my grandmother's nursing home and Craig Sole Designs picked them up from the nursing home a week later. Of all our wedding vendors, my family all noted Craig Sole Designs was one of only three vendors that we had zero problems with, incredibly good service from, and would hire again any day!
Craig and his staff did some amazing work for our wedding ceremony and reception flowers. Craig is always exploring ways to re-use ceremony flowers at the reception to save you money. His prices are reasonable, and I think it's a great value. Most importantly, he took our inspiration pictures and made our dream a reality. His floral designs are truly outstanding! I can't tell you how many compliments we heard about the beautiful flowers!
We could not have been happier working with Craig. He is incredibly talented and creative; everything was amazing and beautiful. Another bonus is he is almost like another wedding planner, which was so incredibly helpful. He does it all, and is an absolute joy to work with. My daughter's favorite vendor, and well worth every penny! We feel so fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with him! Thank you Craig!
Craig and his staff were absolutely amazing to work with! Craig is so knowledgeable about the wedding industry and was able to give me ideas and opinions about what he has seen in the past that added so much to our wedding day. I did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day because I knew that Craig and his staff would take care of anything. If you still haven't booked your florist, I would highly recommend Craig.
Craig gave my wedding a touch of his artistic style with lots of romance. My flowers were exquisite and I will enjoy them forever in my photographs. He sat down with me while planning and guided me towards flowers that fit the style of my wedding and would hold up in July heat. I am so happy that he was a part of my wedding experience. Much love for Craig Sole Designs!
We were referred to Craig by friends who had used him and were so grateful for that referral!! He was so easy to work with, made us feel right at home at his quaint little shop. He got my vision for our flowers right away and I could not have been happier with how the bouquets turned out. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone in the area!!
Meeting Craig, I knew he got my vision just by talking with me. He knew my idea better than I did myself. He is so creative and I cant get enough of his shop, I love just standing in there and smelling all the beautiful flowers & he actully took the time to teach me about them and really find out about my husband & I.
Craig is not just a florist; he is a very talented designer!
He took our vision and made it come to life. He took a our small budget and made the centerpieces appear as if we paid five times as much as we did. Craig's ideas are endless and the flowers are beautiful and only the highest quality.
Craig is fun and professional. He takes pride in his work and gives you 100%.
If you want originality in your centerpieces and someone who knows wedding, you need to talk to Craig!
