Floral Fantasies by Sara

space for my wedding. Thank you!!

discuss my vision and I couldn't believe my eyes after I saw the beauty she was able to produce while also helping us stay within a budget we were comfortable with. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the florals came out, and we have Sara to thank for that, the pictures don't even do it justice!! Thank you Sara for helping our wedding dreams come true :)

! People were raving about how beautiful the florals were, and I couldn’t have been happier. I highly recommend working with her!

tter than I expected) with only a few phone calls. When we did our meetup before the event, I walked in to her shop and my mom started crying. It was literally everything we ever wanted and more. And then on the day of the wedding, somehow the bouquets were even more beautiful than the samples we saw the month before. Sara was able to combine all of the unique color combos and styles I had in mind and brought my wedding decor to the next level. I couldn't be more grateful to have worked with her to make my wedding floral dreams come true. Thank you, Sara!

od our vision and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. The wedding florals were stunning and exactly what we had imagined. Sara was also great at incorporating our personal touches and making suggestions to enhance the overall look. Not only were the flowers gorgeous, but Sara was a pleasure to work with. She was professional, organized, and attentive to our needs. Sara made the process stress-free and we are so grateful for her hard work and dedication (even as we were met with delay-after-delay due to the height of Covid). Overall, we highly recommend Sara to anyone in need of beautiful florals for their special occasion. Sara truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Thank you, Sara!

rty dreams come true. Everything was stunning from the centerpieces to the greenery around the columns to the archway arrangements. Sara is so talented and one of the sweetest people to work with! She was super helpful in explaining the different options and what would work with our budget and vision. I sent her my Pinterest board and some inspo pictures and trusted her to work her magic. You can tell she loves what she does! We highly recommend booking Sara for your wedding florals!

ood. We had Sara add some greenery to our tent and it took the whole feeling to another level. I don't have our professional pictures yet but can't wait for them to admire all of the beautiful work that was put in. She truly brought my vision to life and was a delight to work with.

o work with us on changing dates, constantly changing table sizes and color schemes. We were so obsessed with our bouquets that we are getting them preserved in resin. Thank you Sara! xx

come up with, and she totally made it happen. Everyone raved about the bright colors and beautiful displays. Everything looked perfect.

mony decorations, to bouquets and table centerpieces were gorgeous. Our guests commented on how elegant all of the floral decorations were. Her designs really enhanced the romantic atmosphere. She was professional and so pleasant to work with. We highly recommend working with Floral Fantasies by Sara!

azing job making it become a reality and everything came out beautifully.

most tasteful vision and understood exactly what I wanted. Thank you for making our day so special!

d more. The colors and flowers she chose were all absolutely stunning and even all our guests were complimenting how beautiful all the pieces were. I am so lucky to have worked with Sara and highly recommend her and her team!

ed with some darker tones, but as our wedding planning developed, I decided I wanted color and lots of it! When we met in person, Sara showed me what she could provide and I was definitely pleased, but when our bouquets arrived I was so happy I cried. Sara and team certainly delivered on my vision. So much color and she was able to get some peonies in the bouquets. Sara is also willing to work within a tight budget. I really enjoyed my experience with Sara and certainly recommend her to any future brides.

ture of what I envisioned for the day. As I thought through and shared my responses, Sara mocked up floral arrangements and centerpieces right at the table in front of me. She brought my words to reality. It was so exciting to see my preferences come to fruition and also reassuring to work with an expert. Previously, I had visited a few other shops in the area and my experience greatly differed - consisting mainly of long-winded questionnaires centered around price with no in-person visuals. When spending so much money (especially when you’re not too familiar with the space), it’s helpful to see live samples. While bringing my interests to life, Sara helped evolve the details - bringing in new ideas to complement the vibe that I hadn’t even thought of. The entire experience was positive, productive and rewarding. I left having a firm plan in place - one that I was very excited about - with someone I whole heartedly trusted. All communication afterwards with seamless, as was the day of operations, as Sara’s team worked directly with our venue. Everything was taken care of for us. And the final product was exquisite - more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. My theme was boho chic, consisting mainly of greenery and herbs (multiple species eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary, willow twigs, etc.) and candles galore intermixed within golden geometric holders. We had a combination of runners, and high and low arrangements that brought so much life to the space. The vibe was romantic, in-touch with nature, and oh my goodness did the room smell amazing (lavender/rosemary/eucalyptus combination). I highly recommend working with Sara - she is an artist and joy to work with.

en mind and found creative was to bring the vision to life. The flowers themselves looked absolutely gorgeous and so many of my guests (and our other vendors) commented on them. I can't recommend Sara highly enough!

ctly what we were imagining; our wedding was truly overflowing with beautiful flowers in our very organic, natural farm wedding and she accommodated every request we had made along the way. She was wonderful to work with and her prices were by far the most reasonable for the very high quality of work she provides. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sara again! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding flowers!

so elegant and classy, yet modern (which is exactly what I wanted). When my mom and I met with Sara she was so kind, personable, knowledgeable, and had a portfolio ready to present. Once she realized I had knew nothing about flowers she whipped up a mock centerpiece to make sure I understood and could picture everything she was describing. 2 weeks prior to the wedding my mom and I went back to approve of a final centerpiece design. The day of the wedding when they arrived, I teared up, they were more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. All the centerpieces took the reception and ceremony spaces to the next level, and the corsages, bouquets and boutonnières were the perfect accessories to the bridal party and my husband and I. I can not say enough about how stunning Sara’s work is. If we had the pleasure of reliving our wedding day over and over again, I’d choose Floral Fantasies by Sara every time. THANK YOU, SARA!

uquet, bridesmaids and table centerpieces and on the day of my wedding, the flowers were so beautiful and everything looked just as I had imagined it and even better. Thank you!!

autiful the arch that we were married under was. I would recommend Sara and her team to anyone getting married in the area.

side with bouquets and loose flowers in jars at our reception. She was very affordable for what wedding flowers can cost. Day of she was early and gave us the peace of mind that everything was taken care of at the church and reception venue. Would highly recommend!! I wish I could upload pictures, take a look at her Instagram page!

t to us, and Sara understood the general aesthetic we were going for and was able to provide it, generally. The trees she put up to disguise the poles in our tent, the greenery she added to the entryway, and the little touches of florals here and there really added character to our wedding. We know we asked for a lot—and overall, she did a good job. Though the flowers at the wedding did look beautiful for the most part, we were still disappointed with two pivotal elements. From the onset, one of the things we told Sara we wanted were large hanging floral installations from the tent, which she hadn’t done before was confident she’d be able to. After working out a lot of kinks, and being very understanding and helpful throughout that process, Sara agreed to both install and build three big round floral wreaths from the ceiling of our tent. But unfortunately, we were disappointed by the end result. They looked to be half the size of what she told us they’d be, you could see the wire hanging, and they also weren’t nearly as lush as what we’d discussed. We had numerous conversations about these installations and had showed her pictures, as well. But in the end, they looked sloppy. We’ve asked ourselves over and over again if perhaps we weren’t clear enough with Sara. But in going back to look at our email correspondence to write this review, we can see the pictures that we sent her as examples were consistent and clear. We are confident that it wasn’t a miscommunication; it was just poor execution on Sara’s part, whether intentional or otherwise. One of the things that we appreciated about Sara initially was that she was trying to save us money. But, as we mentioned, the flowers were an incredibly important part of our vision for our wedding, and we decided to up our budget just to be sure we could have the installations and centerpieces we wanted. We told Sara we’d be happy to spend more to be sure we were getting the kind of look we’d sent her pictures of and talked about. As a result, we agreed to higher prices for the installations. It’s painful to look back on the photos of those installations, knowing we paid her more than we’d originally discussed, but she didn’t seem to put that extra money toward them. Honestly, had we known that would be the outcome, we would’ve skipped them entirely. We were also disappointed by our centerpieces, which were greenery, candles, and terrariums as a runner in the middle. When we went to Sara’s studio a month before the wedding to see a sample of what our centerpieces would look like, we were disappointed in the size. We told her we wanted the centerpieces to be double the width, understanding and agreeing to a substantial upcharge. But what she provided at the wedding was much more similar to the original width she showed us. While they wre beautiful, they werent what we agreed upon. Again, we felt like we paid for very little of a change, if any. Overall, Sara was friendly and amenable to work with, but in terms of the results, we feel she failed to deliver on the things that mattered most to us and on the things we spent the most money on. But if you’re not looking to go outside the box with your wedding flowers, we’re confident Sara can deliver.

t you want and pays attention to details. Definitely recommend.

ing. Sara really captured our floral image for our wedding day. She even created hair pieces for all of our ladies in the bridal party. We highly recommend Sara!

plan for your event, and I may have preferred to work that way. The bouquet, chair and sign garlands were slightly off what I wanted, but overall it was just gorgeous.

the rest. On the day of the wedding, everything from the bouquets, to table decorations to chuppah was perfect. She used a wide array of flowers and all of the colors looked wonderful together. The flowers looked gorgeous the day of as well as in the pictures from the photograph. Sara was helpful and responsive during the planning process and made my life much easier.

hought the floral arrangements couldn’t get any better, I saw the bouquets and was absolutely blown away. They were absolutely perfect! We got so many compliments on our table arrangements and bouquets. They were exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend Sara and her shop!

our centerpieces. Everything came out absolutely beautiful, and the flowers/colors she chose for the bouquets perfectly complimented my bridesmaids' grey dresses. I'm so glad we chose Floral Fantasies!

and the like at a wedding. And probably with most weddings, you don’t pay these things much attention. They are just kind of background color. But by working closely with Sara and with her careful attention and amazing eye, the floral aspects of our wedding just popped in a way that made the whole wedding more special. We had a general idea of the kind of floral arrangements we wanted, and the color scheme, and through a process of figuring out what worked for us and what didn’t, we reached an end result that was eyecatching without being overbearing and perfectly complemented our ceremony and reception. In addition to all the floral accents and the bouquet, Sara also set up for us a beautiful four-post arch that, in the venue we chose, just completely made the ceremony unique and special and very, very us. A successful wedding is a combination of a lot of decisions. You might not notice when you make a decision about a vendor that is just ok, but you kind of feel it. But you will definitely notice when you make the right decision. Floral Fantasies is the right decision for your wedding.

oned it could be. She helped decorate the ‘empty’ space too which I didn’t even ask for, yet I was so grateful. My reception room was insanely gorgeous and we got so many compliments on how wonderful it looked. I will be starting at picture of her flowers for many years to come! Thank you Sara and team!

had gorgeous dew drops like they were right out of a forest! Highly highly recommend!!!

ning of my supposed to be outdoor wedding it was pouring so I was not the happiest of brides. Once I saw how Sara decorated the 'plan B' ceremony space and gave me my bouquet I could not stop smiling. She decorated my ceremony arch with greens and touches of cream colored flowers, it was more beautiful than any pictures I could find online. I live in Washington, DC and my wedding was in Hudson, NY. I ended up never actually meeting Sara in person but we spoke via email and phone and she was a pleasure to work with. She sent me pictures of a centerpiece example a month before my wedding. I decided I wanted to change some of the flowers and rose colors and she did made it happen no problem. Sara is honest and will provide her expertise when asked. Whether you have an exact vision in mind or just a few ideas of what you imagine your flowers to look like Sara will make it happen.

bout working with us to make my Pinterest dreams come true within budget. She worked with us, providing options in areas I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. The best part was the month-before preview where you get to see a sample of a centerpiece ahead of time based on in-season flowers. I’ve seen so many issues with other wedding florists from friends weddings and I was ecstatic to see my wedding flowers the day of. They were even more gorgeous that I dreamed– and I have very high standards from working in events :) Sara went above and beyond, added extra florals that she had leftover throughout the venue to make the day even more gorgeous. I received so many compliments on how amazing the flowers were from all of the guests. If you are looking for a true floral designer, Sara is your girl.

ley, and we communicated exclusively via email until our one in-person meeting. We were going for a rustic/boho autumn feel, and Jessica and Sara absolutely nailed it. We got married on Sunday, October 15, 2017 at Red Maple Vineyard, and we had mixes of flat eucalyptus, burgundy dahlias, pink/white roses, and everything looked absolutely amazing. Our arch especially looked especially gorgeous - even better than a beautiful photo I had emailed to Sara and Jessica. My bouquet was also unbelievable gorgeous and exactly what I had wanted. An important tip, I stayed within my budget, and Sara and Jessica were very accommodating to make small changes so I could stay within my budget. Our one-on-one meeting was efficient and fun, and I knew at that meeting that we were in fantastic hands. No issues at all on the day of our wedding, everything went smoothly and on schedule, and all of the flowers and decor looked unbelievable. I have to say, I was absolutely blown away by the end result, by how beautiful our wedding decor looked, and it was with very minimal work on my end. Worth every penny, we are extremely thankful to have had such a fabulous experience, and my husband and I highly recommend Floral Fantasies by Sara!

ements were. Sara can make your visions come to life! She met with me twice before the wedding to ensure that she had my visions down pat. Even after changing a few things last minute- Sara did not disappoint. The bridal bouquets were lush and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. She tied the table arrangements together perfectly by adding gold votives and candles to create an unimaginable tablescape! I went into wedding planning thinking, "who cares about the flowers- they're pretty regardless" along with "no one remembers the flowers from the wedding". Believe me, people WILL remember the floral creations made by Floral Fantasies and you WILL be glad you hired them to complete your dream wedding.

ing, and she was very helpful showing me different flowers and looks. I knew what colors I wanted and had some photos as inspiration, but I loved her work so much that I really left things to her artistic vision because I trusted her so much. The bouquets and other pieces she put together for our wedding were over-the-top beautiful. We received so many compliments. I didn't even see a test bouquet prior to the wedding day, since we live far away, and I was completely impressed and in love with the results! Hire Sara!!!!

ets, and floral crowns that were better than anything I could have imagined! We had strangers ask us who created the floral arch for our ceremony, everything was so stunning. They turned our rustic barn venue into a glamorous paradise. I would highly recommend Floral Fantasies!

ally over 2 hours away from me and we worked together through emails and phone calls. Even though she was so far away we made it work and everything came out beautiful. She was so easy to contact and work with. Thank you!!!

oute, we decided that having a professional and thoughtful florist that knew our venue and could help bring the decor to life really outweighed any cost savings. And WOW, I'm really glad that we did! We gave our budget to Sara and they really helped us work within our range to make everything wonderful. For example, she was completely OK with only doing personal flowers for the groom, and flowers for bride/bridesmaids (no groomsman boutonnieres, no corsages for mothers), and offering empty vases for us to place the bridesmaids bouquets into after the ceremony to help trim. We live ~2 hours away and it didn't end up working out for us to go up to visit in person, but Sara was happy to hop on the phone and send pictures for options. I wanted to change something on the bouquet after seeing the photo, but couldn't quite point out what felt off, but I trusted that it'd come back wonderfully. It was beautiful when I saw it on my wedding day! We went a very neutral greenery/white theme for our outdoor wedding at Red Maple Vineyard, and it fit perfectly - from the candles with the centerpieces to the small greenery/flowers I placed in my hair. Since they knew the space, they were really able to help maximize the decor for maximum impact. The only thing I would have loved to see was a little more greenery/flowers on the arch for our ceremony, as the reference photos we shared were a little more 'full', but that could have simply been a byproduct of working within our budget. For any other brides-to-be struggling with investing in flowers or anyone without a super specific vision/idea of what they want, I'd really recommend Sara!

ur to her store, twice, to meet her and discuss my ideas. Sara was flexible when it came to cost and offered a variety of options to meet my budget. This was one of the main reason why I chose her, aside from her gorgeous work. She also provided a beautiful basket for my flower girl. There was a miscommunication as I expected a weaved nest for my ring bearer but it was not there on the day of the wedding. However, we made it work and the beauty she created certainly made up for it. Sara really listened to what I wanted and the flowers were absolutely stunning!! They were one feature of the wedding that received endless compliments from my guests. She was fun and sweet and overall a pleasure to work with.

r day feel so special !

olor scheme in a really elegant way. Jessica did an amazing job decorating the pergola for our ceremony. It looked even better than I had imagined! My husband and I would highly recommend Floral Fantasies by Sara!

it impeccably. Sarah created three table designs for me each within my budget and together they looked stunning at the wedding. The aisle markers and chapel florals were beautiful. We had a groomsman who was quite allergic to pollen and Sara helped to pick a flower for his boutonnière that still fit our theme but was low in pollen so he was comfortable throughout the night. My bridal bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets were stunning. I told Sara that I loved peonies but she wasn't sure if they would fit in my budget because they are normally past season in July. Sara made it work for us and my bouquet was just stunning. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Sara and I would recommend her to anyone.

ill sit with you as long as need be to listen to the vision you have in your head but cannot create. That vision you had over and over comes to life through her and her daughter. She's honest and it shows that she really, truly loves doing this. The flowers were extremely fresh, lively, and fragrant. I am the type of person that wants what she wants and will tirelessly do what I can to get it. Well, Sara knew that and she aimed to please in every single way possible. I am beyond ecstatic that I chose to work with her. I am telling you, you will NOT be disappointed working with Sara. Thank you for giving me my dream florals for my wedding!
