Long lasting, beautiful flowers from bouquets and centerpieces to specialty pieces and boutonnières, Designing Images Florist far exceeded my expectations!! All flowers are not created equal, and Carol really knows her stuff. After visiting sev...eral other florists I can tell you that Carol really listens to what you want and comes through with incredible floral designs! She takes the time to get to know what your dream flowers are, and talks to you about your choices, letting you know what to expect with the choices, for example, knowing there was nothing dainty about any of our Groomsmen, she helped us pick a flower for their boutonnière that was sturdy, durable, and would last the whole night, this is something noone else had mentioned to us and really made a huge difference! Carol was really easy to talk to and really took the time to get the full picture of our Wedding, and even offered some ideas that I hadn't thought of that incorporated perfectly! Carol's attention to detail is so comforting, you know nothing will be overlooked or just thrown together. Sent in a swatch of the Bridesmaid dresses and she was able to match the ribbon on their bouquets to their dresses perfectly. All the flowers lasted for weeks after the wedding, still as beautiful as the day of. It's been 6 weeks since my Wedding and I still have flowers that are full of life! Carol really does more than floral arrangements, she helps pull your dream wedding together! Carol helped us stay in budget and let me know when my expectations were too high or unreasonable, offering ideas for alternatives that were much more obtainable and often in season which I was really going for, to keep us within our budget. She even gave us lots of tips for things besides our floral arrangements, tips that really helped us during planning and on the day of, that had really helped make everything a little easier. You'll have to go see Carol at Designing Images if you want those tips and tricks, as those are for her to give out, not me :). I cannot say enough kind words about Carol and her floral designs, I can't image having gone through anyone else! You will definitely not regret going to visit Carol!
