Elite Florals

pictures and types of flowers that I liked. When I reviewed her price estimate, it was a little bit more than I had planned on spending but a quick phone call to Edithy and we were able to make a couple of small changes to save a little bit of money and still have a wonderful quality. I was so thrilled on my wedding day! Edith came to my house to deliver my flowers and the flowers for my girls in person! I knew that she would be at the venue later in the day to make sure that everything was perfect and it was! The flowers were everything I wanted them to be!

made it perfect!!!

ddings theme! Their knowledge of the venue and staff also was of great help in preparing us for what to expect and gave us a sense of confidence going into our big day knowing everything was going to be beautiful! I’ll be recommending Elite florals to every bride and groom to be I meet as well as to everyone I know for all floral needs!!!

ose gold for that special shine! She did all of our bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and wedding arch perfectly. Not only is Edie a master of floral design, she is also a motivator. Our wedding was postponed due to the pandemic and when we reconnected a year later, I was drained and tired of re-planning. Edie picked up on my lackluster energy and gave me a pep talk that really rejuvenated me. She always made me feel like a beautiful bride that deserved it all, and I am so thankful for her. I highly recommend Elite Florals for all your floral needs!

azing to work with. She was so helpful and available if we had any questions. The arrangements were absolutely stunning!

e started picking our flowers I liked with lots of guidance. I ended up changing my colors and having to sit down to see if what we picked would still work. We did make some changes but I had a hard time envisioning what it would look like. I just decided to trust her to do her thing and she exceeded my expectations. We had to make some other changes here and there on numbers of things needed/not needed anymore and she was more than accommodating. Electronic communication is okay but great in person, which was also reassuring that everything would turn out okay!

and making our day so special.

omments about the other vendor we used. I spoke with her the week before our wedding to confirm everything. When the day of our wedding came, there were no center pieces. She told our venue that she emailed me four times, and that I never responded. She also said that none of her brides ever got back to her. Horrible experience, but luckily the coordinator at our venue made sure the center pieces were delivered before our reception started.

. She also did the arch for my ceremony the exact way I wanted which gave it an extra touch. The mums that she provided along the ceremony aisle were truly amazing especially since we were able to keep them afterwards! I would recommend going to this florist for your flowers! Edie loves her job and it truly shows no matter where she is. She is a remarkable woman!

d family’s flowers for the wedding. She was very professional and reliable and she worked through every detail with me on my final consult call. I love all her hard work and how amazing everything turned out- they were so perfect, and I got so many compliments. :) I totally recommend her to everyone!

were absolutely beautiful. She was very pleasant throughout the process, and very sweet when I saw her on my wedding day! Communication throughout was a little choppy, but we didn’t really need to communicate too much anyway so it didn’t impact my opinion! I had a great experience with Elite Florals.

n to us and what we wanted. I wasn't 100% sure what we were going to end up with as we had to make a lot of decisions quickly and the contract was vague, but I was very happy with all of our flowers. My bouquet was beautiful, the centerpieces were high quality, and the colors were perfect for our theme. Edie also helped with a last minute issue with our drapery for our ceremony arch. It was greatly appreciated and we were overall pleased with her work!

seasonality of flowers. Edie worked with me when our invoice was released to make sure the flowers were within our budget and helped me make my vision fit. In the end, our bouquets and center pieces truly did turn out beautifully and Edie and her team executed on the order and delivered the flowers on time. Cons: I had two major qualms with this florist. First, I know some brides have a clear picture of exactly what they want their flowers to look like, but I wasn't exactly sure. Edie started to share a couple of pictures and before I even had a chance to react, she said, "Nope, you don't like it I can tell." I didn't really appreciate how quickly she tried to read my response without giving me time to digest what she was sharing. Secondly, my family and I had minimal communications and lack of understanding about our balances weeks leading up to the wedding. The shop hired a college-bound intern to manage my account and they admittedly dropped the ball on follow-up communications. I appreciated her owning up to it, but I didn't appreciate the tone of the email that we had an "overdue balance" when we'd heard nothing from the shop since our meeting. True or not, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

ry bouquets. And Edie got me right away. The only thing I truly cared about was a big beautiful arch to frame the ceremony, and for elegant subtle touches of flowers for our wedding party to wear, as headpieces and boutonnières. The headpieces were Edie's idea, when I wondered out loud about what we could do instead of bouquets. We didn't have a strong color theme either – all of my bridesmaids were wearing multi colored saris and their own personal dresses for the reception. And Edie ran with it, no problem. At the end of the day, the flowers looked absolutely stunning. Our photographs are gorgeous. By swapping bouquets for headpieces, we saved a lot of money and everything looked amazing, and the bridesmaids felt extra beautiful all night! So happy with our time with Edie. Would highly recommend.

HE would reach out to us when things were quieting down. We greatly appreciated when her team contacted us 2 weeks later and we set up an appointment for a Saturday 2 months later. On Thursday, 2 days before our meeting, I had no contact with them since setting up the appointment so I personally called to confirm if it was still on. They had NOT reached out to us earlier. When I called, her team had told us specifically that "they were overbooked" and that we had to reschedule. I was disappointed since we have busy season coming up and literally no other available weekend free. I rescheduled but I called to cancel, I let them know I was disappointed in the earlier cancellation (in which I would have driven 2 hours in 4" of snow, if I didn't have the insight to call ahead). What I got subsequently was a personal voicemail, from who I presume was Edie herself, alluding that 1) she told her staff to let clients know she had a personal emergency, and 2) I was rude to have put myself above her loved one. LET US RECAP. Her team did not reach out to me to begin with, and when I did it myself, they gave me a different excuse. A personal emergency is ALWAYS more important and we would have understood immediately if that is what we were told in the first place. What's even funnier is that both Edie and her team got my name wrong all 3 times I called. Some attention to detail. I'm sure the team and Edie are lovely people, but there are some communication issues that need to be addressed.

as well as us with her!! Contact with her was easy with quick response time. Day of the wedding when she brought the flowers in I may have teared up because the flowers were exactly what we wanted and absolutely beautiful! They were me and Ed in flower form!!! She is amazing and knows what she is doing for sure!!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend Edie with Elite florals!!! Magnificent!!!!!

taff were very sweet and helpful, and the flowers were beautiful, which is the only reason why I am giving a 3 star rating. Edie was very fun and kind when I met with her to discuss flowers. For months I was in touch with her, mostly through her assistant who acted as a middle man, but all of my questions were always answered which I was thankful for. I met with Edie one final time about 4 weeks before my wedding, and following that I received my final invoice. I just had to clarify the details of 1 item (my ceremony arrangements) with Edie. Her assistant arranged a time for me to call and speak with her, but when I did, someone else answered and told me that Edie was currently unavailable and that she would call me back that day. She never did. Her assistant was very apologetic and said that she spoke to Edie about my questions. She sent me Edie's answers, and Edie totally misunderstood what I was even asking. I practically begged to speak with her. Her assistant even called me to personally apologize at one point, saying that Edie wanted me to know that things were hectic with other weddings. That's no excuse. I am a paying client just like the other brides. I understand if she needs to wait a few days to get back to me, but for the entire 3 weeks before my wedding I tried desperately to get in touch with Edie and eventually gave up and cancelled that item entirely, and found flowers for it myself. All I needed was 5 minutes of her time. She either doesn't care about her brides enough to give them the time of day, or she just can't handle being overwhelmed with business. Either way, there is no excuse for how I was treated.

turn out. If I didn't trust my venue on their quality, I probably would have been apprehensive. So overall, while the quality was good and the flowers looked great, I did feel like there was a lack of communication.

die is her excitement and passion about her work. Even though I had pictures of what I wanted, Edie informed me that my wedding has to be special and that my flowers must be unique for my special day. Edie told me to trust her and I'm so glad that I did. Every arrangement was stunning. Edie even offered advice that was helpful for my big day. Even before the wedding, I used Elite Florals for my son's prom because Edie's first impression was the best. I'm glad I used Elite Florals and definitely recommend this florist for anyone seeking "stunning" arrangements. B. Hill (Massey)

e looking for, and she did a great job. All of our bouquets and the boutineers were gorgeous. Edie is so knowledgeable about flowers and puts together beautiful bouquets. She coordinated with our officiant and delivered the altar flowers to the church and delivered the bridal party's bouquets to us at the venue. She also helped us put together our favors for our guests, making the day of our wedding less stressful. Elite Florals was great - I don't think I could have found a florist as good as them on my own.

th us over email to make sure everything regarding timing was all planned out for the day of the wedding. The flowers were delivered on time, however they were different than we expected. We were looking at something different than what we had been shown in the meetings, and it was a disappointment. I feel as if we have been tricked and scammed, and most importantly, my daughter felt disappointment on the most important day of her life. The worst part is, after the event when I called to explain to Edie, she refused to refund my money or even give me so much as an apology, because I hadn't called sooner. I called a few days after the wedding. I wasn't going to step out of my daughter's reception to call the florist - what did she expect? Overall, I was very upset. She knows what she is doing, and she can be a great florist, however I would never recommend Elite Florals to anyone I know.

confident in her vision. I had seen beautiful arrangements on Pinterest and with Edith's help we chose an arrangement that was not only beautiful but also meaningful. I was able to use flowers that were part of my childhood memories and also reflected my fiance's background. I had such high hopes and expectations that I felt, surely nothing would be as good as my imagination. I was wrong. Edith walked into my bridal suite and I could not have been happier. A beautiful arrangement was before me and I could not stop staring. I am so happy with the final result and will be looking at the pictures of the amazing arrangements for the rest of my life. Thank you Edith and Elite Florals! 9/13/14
