Good morning,
I just have to tell you, EVERYONE raved about the centerpieces; the country club staff, our wedding guests, guests from an event held Friday night at the club!! The...
y are still beautiful this morning. I will be sharing your name, if that’s ok. Everyone loved how unique they were. Thank you again for adding to our beautiful wedding for my son and DIL.
Thanks again,

We didn’t think florals and decor would be important to us in planning our wedding, and Yael totally blew us away. Having listened to our preferences and our hesitation in doing an...
ything that would feel not us or like it was too much, she designed what would turn out to be the perfect elements, executed flawlessly. She was insanely patient in mocking up several versions of options, and educated us in way that allowed us to make productive decisions. We trusted her entirely and she delivered, never forcing us to do something that didn’t feel right. She handled our chuppah, all florals, and unique decor elements that were true to our wedding theme. On the day of our wedding, seeing Yael and her team putting together our chuppah in cold temperatures and early hours, she had the warmest smile in greeting us, which set such a positive tone for the day. She had a professional and friendly attitude throughout the whole process. We are sooooo happy we worked with her. 🌻
Working with Designs that Matter for our wedding was a wonderful experience! Yael was so fun to work with! She listened to us and captured our vision for a sustainable wedding perf...
ectly. Yael reused materials and reduced waste, while still creating professional and elegant florals and decor. She took my Pinterest board and created beautiful table settings, a guest list board, florals, and a chuppah that made me cry because it was so perfect. I’m not a DIY bride, and Yael took my ideas and made them a reality. She came and set up early and stayed late to tear it down. My bridal bouquet was so gorgeous. Yael worked well with our vendors and went above and beyond to make our wedding special. My mom and I really enjoyed meeting with her in her studio. She asked thoughtful questions and wanted to make sure she created decor that fit our vibe. She nailed it! If you have an event coming up (bat mitzvah, wedding, baby showers, etc), hire Designs that Matter! You will not regret it!
Just want to say you captured Darcy’s vision perfectly!!! The flowers on Saturday at Wellers were so gorgeous. She wanted a romantic, elegant garden party and that’s what you deliv...
ered. Even beyond what we envisioned when we saw the mirror and seating chart strewn with flowers. Just perfect! I was lucky enough to bring the flowers home after the wedding and now I have gorgeous arrangements in almost every room. ☺️
Designs that Matter was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Yael, the owner, had a direct yet helpful communication style and was incredibly responsive throughout th...
e entire process. The quality of her work was simply stunning - the floral tablescapes and welcome sign she created were bursting with color and truly made the wedding shower feel special. Yael listened closely to my description of the wedding palette and the bride's love of color, and she delivered flowers that exceeded my expectations. Every single guest noticed and complimented the beautiful florals throughout our home. The value of their services was well worth the cost, and I would highly recommend Designs that Matter to any couple planning their wedding or family member planning a shower.
We hired Yael for several special family celebrations. Each time the results were amazing. She worked with us to create unique invitations and decorations that captured what we env...
isioned for each event. Working with Yael was always a pleasure. She is innovative, creative, thoughtful and kind.
We worked with Yael from Designs that Matter on florals, our wedding canopy, table centerpieces, and a photo booth backdrop. She was incredible at accommodating a number of custom ...
parts that our friends and family helped make and figuring out how to work them into designs that she put together. The end result was a great wedding canopy structure with flowers highlighting but not overshadowing the beautiful fabric canopy that was quilted by the groom's mom. Yael helped brainstorm through a few different styles of table centerpieces that would work nicely alongside the bases and custom electronics built by the groom and others. Yael and her team put together an incredible display of flowers and were then able to expertly arrange them at the venue in a number of beautiful settings.

er and brought my vision to life. Her set up and take down services took the stress out of the day and everything was perfect. You get what you pay for and this was worth it! I also used her graphic design services for our invitations, escort cards, table numbers, etc... I loved that everything matched and the designs were elegant and classic. Really, it was a one stop shop for us and that made the whole experience easy. Highly recommend.
Yael / Designs That Matter took care of us for our wedding this past summer. Trust us when we say that you will not regret hiring Yael as your florist / designer. We would recommen...
d Yael to anyone and everyone we care about. Yael is incredibly creative and so professional. My favorite part about working with Yael was her ability to make suggestions based on my "rough idea" of what I was looking for and help make my vision come to life. Yael was so reliable and consistent! Throughout the planning process, Yael was incredible to work with and we knew she was taking care of all of our requests etc. I cannot put into words how beautiful the wedding looked on the day of. Yael's team made it seamless for us and my husband and I felt like all we had to do was show up and enjoy the beauty she created to match our personalities and celebrate our love.

Yael was really great for our post wedding event. She was excellent at communication and really listened to what we wanted and everyone talked about how gorgeous the flowers were.
Designs That Matter was recommended to us to hang & take down bistro lights for us for our wedding at Circ & Root and they turned out beautifully!
Yael’s design experience and expertise were invaluable and an important part of our wedding’s success. We came to the table with some clear design ideas, so we didn’t need as much ...
a day coordinator as much as someone who could implement our vision using their own creative flourish to ensure it looked right.
From the amazing wedding canopy (Chuppah) in our ceremony to the perfect setup of our book-focused centerpieces, Yael and the Designs That Matter team did an impeccable job, paying attention to big-picture vision as well as the smallest details. Yael even went above and beyond to ensure the venue staff had implemented the details correctly.
We couldn’t be happier with choosing Design That Matter, and would highly recommend Yael and her team for anyone’s event needs.

Short Read: Yael made our dream wedding decor come true, was easy to work with, and made everything fit within our budget. I highly recommend her services for any event!
Long Read...
: We hired Yael to guide us through the sometimes overwhelming process of choosing wedding decor. We had some general ideas in mind and she was able to not only turn them into reality, but enhanced them to a level that felt like a dream. She took the time to get to know us beforehand and figure out our likes and dislikes. She was easy to communicate with and had everything prepared in a timely manner. She also added some of her own touches into the design of the venue that truly brought the whole concept together. I cannot recommend Yael enough. When you choose her as your decorator, you will absolutely love what you get!
Yael with Designs that Matter was spectacular to work with as the florist and decorator for our wedding. We had so many changes (including venue change) with Covid and she was comp...
letely flexible through all of it. The pricing is great for how amazing of a job she did! Everyone, including myself, was blown away by how beautiful everything was. She even dropped my handmade hairpiece (stunning!) off at the salon last minute so that my stylist could put it in. Yael made my vision for flowers and decor come to life and was a pleasure to work with!
Yael was amazing to work with. During the entire wedding planning process she was very responsive and accessible. She had creative ideas that helped make the process so much easier...
. The decor and flowers turned out beautiful!
