We had the best experience with Michele! We only needed to show her a few photos of our vision for our wedding, and she knew exactly what she was doing! She set everything up perfectly, which made the morning of the wedding run so much smoother. She has so much experience in the wedding industry and it really shows! I would recommend her to everyone I know! We could not have asked for a better florist for our wedding!

Michelle was by far my favorite wedding vendor to work with. She understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding florals. She also delivered all of the florals and set them up exactly how we had envisioned. She is an expert at knowing what looks best, and very helpful with picking out which florals to use with the consultation.
Our florals were amazing, and we received many compliments on them. Michelle responds quickly, and overall was amazing to work with.

Working with Michele was honestly the easiest part of planning our entire wedding. She accomodated us quite last minute and we live halfway across the country. Despite the distance and timing, Michele walked me through the process over the phone on a weekend. My fiance and I looked through her Facebook page, let her know what we liked and didn't like, what our colors were and what our needs were and she put together a quote that we then modified a bit. Michele communicated with us throughout the process. When we got to our reception hall, we were completely blown away by how beautiful the arrangments were, how well they complemented the venue and how perfectly they matched our colors. We highly recommend her and are so glad that we found her.

Michele has been an absolute pleasure to work with, she exceeded my expectations on our floral arrangements. She is truly talented and passionate about her job and knew how to execute my dream floral design without hesitation. I look up to Michele in my ways because she gave me helpful advice when it came to weddings, since I haven’t been to many weddings in my life and didn’t know much about them. I would highly recommend Michele to anyone looking to get married - she is extremely professional and will make your dreams come to life.

Words can’t capture the sheer magic that our wedding day held, and a significant part of that enchantment was woven through the breathtaking floral arrangements created by Michele. From the moment we met, her passion was evident, and it radiated in every arrangement she curated for our special day.
Michele not only listened to my vision but elevated it beyond my wildest dreams. Her attention to detail was astounding; each bouquet, floral crown, and floral accent was a masterpiece in its own right. Michele brought our venue to life with an ethereal beauty that left me in literal tears of happiness. What truly sets Michele apart is her genuine care and commitment to making our day perfect. She seamlessly blended our many different flowers and the resulting ambiance was beyond anything I could have imagined. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication made the entire process an absolute joy. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Michele for not just providing flowers but for creating an enchanting atmosphere that added an extra layer of love and magic to our celebration. To anyone seeking a florist who will turn dreams into reality, look no further than Michele. She is simply phenomenal.

Highly recommend!! Michele was the easiest vendor to work with during my wedding planning. She made the whole process so simple. She was able to visualize what I wanted just through a phone call - she even gave us advice on the groomsmen outfits just because she has such passion for what she does. Honestly just such a lovely experience. Thank you, Michele!

A majority of my florals fell through the week of my wedding. I contacted Michele immediately and she was able to supply the florals for my entire wedding! I sent her some inspo pictures and she absolutely nailed it! She made my bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutineers, corsages, a toss bouquet, and was even able to get bunches of baby’s breath for my tables! She was so incredibly kind, understanding, and easy to work with! I got so many compliments on everything and I owe it all to Michele for making my dreams come to life in a pinch!

When I decided to work with Michelle as our wedding florist, I had a very loose vision of what I wanted...literally just a picture of a bouquet that I liked with our wedding colors. I was admittedly very caught up in wedding planning and struggling to find time to consider the details. Michelle went so far above and beyond, I cannot say enough amazing things about her. Not only did she make sure I had the most gorgeous flower arrangement I could have asked for, but she also walked me through every single possible gap that I didn't think of originally, from centerpieces to boutonnieres to an arrangement for the sweetheart table and so so much more. Her attention to detail and professionalism washed away all of my stress and anxiety -- when it came to flowers, I knew I was in the best hands. When I finally saw a sneak peek of the reception area before the ceremony, I was in shock at how beautifully everything came together...so much more than I ever even dreamed of. Thank you so much, Michelle!

Michele took so much time listening to my daughter in law's ideas. She captured them all so beautifully. The bouquets were stunning. She was. able to bring the earthy and the rich colors together in a fantastic way with the added drama my daughter in law desired. I am amazed at how professional and creative she is. She created the most beautiful tables for the reception. Forever grateful.

At my first meeting with Michele I knew I was in good hands. She listened to my image and walked me through every detail to make sure we didn’t forget anything. When covid hit she was quick to calm my worries that she would absolutely be able to adjust with us. I went into my wedding day knowing she had everything under control and not once did I feel like I needed to check on anything. She has many years of experience and it shows. Real fresh flowers were important to me for our wedding day and she delivered exactly what I wanted and beyond.

I very much enjoyed working with Michelle, our florist at Custom Floral Designs. She helped me obtain all my favorite flowers for my August wedding, as well as suggested some additional varieties which were perfect to fill in our ceremony arbor decor, table bud vases, and bouquets. Additionally, I appreciated her flexibility in working with me and the baker to adorn our cake with the perfect blooms!

The first time I met Michele I had an immediate connection. You could definitely tell she had knew what she was doing when it came to wedding flowers. She had a clear list of questions to ask and items to make sure we talked about. She was so personable and took the time to listen to all the ideas I had and then helped me refine them. I booked Michele for my wedding before I even left my consultation. Unfortunately COVID hit shortly after that and my fiancé and I postpone our wedding. When I notified Michele she was so supportive and rescheduled us for our new date, no questions asked, and no extra fees. As our second date approached, we decided to postpone one more time. Again Michele was great and got us booked for our new date without any issues. We even met with her again to go over each aspect and made changes as it had been over a year since we first met.
We finally were able to get married in July and I can say it was worth the wait. Michele’s floral arrangements were better than anything I could have imagined. She took my vision and elevated it to a level I didn’t know could exist. I was blown away. My guests could not stop talking about how beautiful all the flowers were. I cannot say enough good things about Michele and Custom Floral Design. I would use her again in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone getting married!

Michele's arrangements are absolutely beautiful. She is very, creative and pleasant. However, I believe she could benefit from an assistant to take notes and keep her on track during client meetings. If you want to leave it all to her whim, you're good to go. If you're an organized person, be prepared to take meticulous notes, bring them with you to every meeting, keep repeating what you agreed upon in detail, as well as how it's going to get done and who is going to do it, because she will not have the notes from the last meeting and will remember basically nothing that was agreed upon. And, insist on a detailed invoice so that you know that she will (hopefully) deliver what was promised. The end result was really beautiful, but really stressful getting there. We had to take care of one issue ourselves the hour before the wedding, and it was something I had repeated to her over and over and over. I work with a lot of people with super creative brains, so I get it. Just be prepared. I give her an A+ on beauty and creativity, and a C- on organizational skills.

Michelle was so great to work with! We had to make some last minute changes to our wedding plans and she was so accommodating to those changes! We had met once in person and I showed her ideas of what I was looking at doing for the floral design and talked once more over the phone and I had no doubt she would perfectly capture that on wedding day. Sure enough-she did. Everything looked remarkable! Thank you Michelle for everything! Highly recommend

Michele was so wonderful to work with. We had a hectic time planning a wedding in 2020 and only having met with her once in person and then one more time on the phone I had no concerns going into the wedding the day of! Her confidence and ability was impeccable and I didn’t see the flowers until I was walking down the aisle. Having only seen a few inspiration photos she absolutely nailed the floral design we were looking for, so stunning and I was blown away. The ease of service was huge and Michele was a wonderful help. Highly recommend!!!

Michelle was the second floral appointment I had and am VERY HAPPY I went with her! Her experience and personality made it super easy for me to go with her company. She was very excited to do all colors for the bridal party party; grooms and brides.
When you go to her just like any other appointment with other vendors have pictures. I know exactly what my groom and I wanted and then she made the magic happen.
The day of the wedding, I meet her in the ball room where she was doing center pieces and showed me everything. I was just blown away! Still in love and our guests cannot get over how beautiful and amaizing they are. To quote a guest of ours "I did floral in the 70s and 80s. The work your vendor did is just breath taking" .

Michele put so much time and effort into every detail of my flowers for my special day. I sent pictures and Michele matched them identical if not better. I requested headbands of fresh flowers and she did it and made them look better then the pictures I sent, she is truly what her name is.. “Custom flower design” This florist exceeded my expectations in everything she did and HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND her if you want beautiful flowers on your special wedding day.
