Florals by the Sea

n Destin in May 2021. Cass made numerous recommendations and put so much time into our Wedding it was like it was her own. Between the countless emails and even more phone calls between us in Pittsburgh and Cass in Destin (which is a different time zone) she never failed to impress. Our wedding day was something out of a fairytale… we gave Cass complete creative control over furniture and accent pieces knowing she would knock it out of the park. Stepping into our ceremony and reception I honestly couldn’t believe it was OUR wedding. It was everything I had imagined and then some. Cass designed and brought an absolutely beautiful arbor for the ceremony; complete with drapes and florals for the perfect setting. Beautiful lanterns lined the aisle and no detail went unnoticed. cocktail hour was also held out on the Captains Deck as well right after our ceremony and it was simply elegant and everything I described to Cass. For our reception I was adamant that I did not like our venues available chairs and had FBTS coordinate beautiful gold Chiavari chairs to be brought in… there was a bit of a hiccup with these just days before the wedding, but Cass was unwilling to accept no for an answer and got them with no issues; she is a miracle worker and the chairs seriously made all the difference at the reception. The Emerald Grande has this beautiful patio next to the ballroom that is accessible to guests included in their ballroom rental fee. For this we asked Cass to create a more masculine cigar bar to be accessible during our reception out on this patio and it was probably one of the biggest hits of our wedding. The cigar bar was PHENOMENAL, and honestly the FOB’s favorite part I think of the entire reception. Cass and her team left no space untouched. Our reception entrance was complete with a handwritten glass seating chart that was beautiful and Cass even put together a wonderful welcome area complete with pictures of my husband and I from years past that everyone absolutely loved. Our tables had stunning/grand centerpieces complete with florals, vines, and candles and the linens she recommended which also just brought everything together so beautifully! Our cake table was beautifully decorated, and Cass brought the perfect stand for our cake. However, my favorite part was the fairytale atmosphere she created over the dance floor. For our dance floor I had a vision of twinkle lights and beautiful seating areas right next to our dance floor where people could take a breather. Cass did not spare a single detail in this area of our reception. She brought in gray/blue pole and drape and strung 20-30 twinkle lights across the dance floor and seating area which was complete with furry rugs (yes I said rugs)…. It was even better than I could have imagined. FBTS/ Cass also provided all of our bouquets, corsages, and boutonniere which were absolutely beautiful! The flowers were all delivered in water and so fresh. They stayed fresh all day and were the perfect colors! I don't know a lot about flowers, but luckily Cass did and she arranged them perfectly. Thank you so much Cass and the entire FBTS team for making our dream Wedding a reality. It would not have even been close to the same without you! Much love from Pittsburgh! – The Zeffiro’s

eous aesthetic. She sat down with us in the beginning and reviewed every detail so she knew exactly what to design. We met in her office, which allowed us to have a first hand look at some of the design elements which was not only fun but also very helpful. The end result was absolutely beautiful! Through out the planning process, she was quick to respond and handled changes that came along in a professional and easy manner. We are so fortunate to have worked with Kellie and highly recommend Florals by the Sea!

ents blew me away. It was originally a beach wedding with neutral colors and palms and I couldn't believe my eyes what she was able to come up with! Not only do they do florals, but they have many other set up options. They brought in beautiful lounge seating, a bar, chairs, table decor, and a sweetheart table to tie in the look. I gave her full decor control allowing her to really make the look and I'm so glad I put my trust in her. If you are wanting the perfect team to put together your wedding and floral design, please don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call. Kellie was a true gem! Thank you Kellie!

and when things were needed to fill the space. We had at least 5 revisions via email due to being a destination wedding. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how the ceremony and reception were stunning. She turned a beach club into the perfect venue. They accommodated layout changes the day before the wedding due to the venue and also specific requests like long farm tables. It definitely was over our budget, but we don’t regret choosing them. My only constructive feedback for them would be to double check the spelling on seating charts! If you want a team that will make your venue more than you would imagine, choose florals by the sea!

bsolute dreamscape. They were able to source an odd request that I had and executed it in a way that I could have never imagined. Using a combination of florals + rental furniture and decor, the transformed a beautiful space into a totally unique and breathtaking environment. This was the one area in our budget where we splurged over our initial amount and it felt like every single cent of that splurge was worth it. When preparing our proposal Cass was so helpful when it came to pointing out things that could be removed or done differently to help keep in line with what we were comfortable spending but still create the look and feeling we were wanting to establish. Cass was easy to work with and created something incredible with very little guidance from us. She worked directly with our coordinator at our venue which took any stress out of my life by not having to serve as the middle woman. The work of this team is phenomenal and I cannot recommend them enough.

she did an amazing job taking my vague suggestions and thoughts and turning them into something that was truly stunning. Literally, my jaw dropped when I walked into the event space--our photographer even took a picture of my face when I got my first look at everything! The flowers, the furniture, the flow of the space, everything was beyond what I could have imagined. Sally was also a dream to work with--so patient, helpful, and accommodating. Our wedding planner told me that when you go with Florals by the Sea, you get more than you pay for, and that was absolutely my experience. I'm so glad that I went with her and her company, and would recommend them to anyone.

to make my experience the most stress free and enjoyable it could be. When I look at our wedding and reception pictures, I am still BLOWN AWAY!!! Everything was absolutely perfect. She truly turned a dream into a reality! We were amazed by how spectacular the flowers and decor came out; it was like a fairytale. Every detail, from the biggest to the absolute smallest, was planned out, coordinated, and beautifully displayed. It’s been months, and I still have people telling me how beautiful it all was. She truly went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone! With so many choices, choosing Florals by the Sea and having Kellie in our corner to guide us was one of the best decisions we could have made. After meeting with her the first time, it was easy to see right away how talented and genuine she is, along with the fact that she has a wide range of expertise in designing and planning all types of weddings. I felt so blessed to be working with someone I knew I could trust with our big day. I can’t thank Kellie enough for having so much patience when picking out the details with me. She was great at giving us her opinions and laying everything out for us. She always made time for any questions I had during the entire process. She made my dream wedding a reality and I couldn’t ask for better!

all white flowers), the calligraphy mirrors for the reception tables were stunning and my absolute favorite was the centerpieces/bridal party table. The use of candles and flowers was absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend Florals by the Sea to anyone getting married in Destin!

setup was exactly how I imagined it. Thank you so much! Cheryl

orals by the Sea. We met in September for our May 2017 wedding and in that one meeting with a few pics of my liking, etc... Kellie got it! When I saw my bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquet...I was more than amazed...I was speechless as she hit it out of the ballpark...vintage romantic! I could not have been happier. We had a very small beach wedding, (3) bouquets, (2) arbor arrangements, (9) bouts and (3) wrist corsages...the price was a little more than what I had anticipated; however, the florals I chose happen to be more expensive flowers as well (a lot of peonies). I wouldn't have changed anything...it was well worth the price, just be prepared...beautiful flowers cost, but this is one of the most important components in my view. I've had tons of people say my bouquet is absolutely the most beautiful bouquet they've ever seen...so she impressed beyond my imagination. Kellie was wonderful...I highly recommend Florals by the Sea, but contact them as soon as you have a date; they book quickly from what our experience was.

aughter's wedding in their hands. That was a decision I will never regret. Kellie was our designer and I loved her enthusiasm and creative ideas when we first met. She was professional and had a confidence that I hoped would be reflected in her work. Looking back, I would say she could have had 10x that confidence and her artistry would still outshine her words. I was dumbfounded when I saw my daughter's bridal bouquet and I will never forget the moment I saw the reception site for the first time. Kellie transformed the tent at Carillon Beach into the most breathtakingly beautiful work of art! It was more stunning than I could ever have imagined. If it would have been possible, I would have stopped time and sat in the center of all that beauty and just breathed it in. But alas, the evening went by much too quickly, amidst continuous comments that it was the most beautiful, magical wedding. And I certainly agree! Kellie, you created the perfect atmosphere for a glorious celebration that will be treasured in our memories forever! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

made them come to life in such an elegant way! We couldn't have asked fora more beautiful backdrop to the best day of our lives!

was amazing to work with and brought such innovation and creativity to the table. She was always responsive to our ideas, and also issues, and never failed to come up with the perfect solution. Walking up to the reception, my sister and I were blown away with what Kellie and the FBTS team created! Truly a breathtaking setup! If you want the wedding of your dreams, you need Florals by the Sea on your team!

I liked for a wedding bouquet and she by far exceeded my expectations! It was exactly what I had envisioned! The day before my wedding, I called her store in a panic because I had forgotten to order 4 boutonnieres for the men. My error was quickly taken care of with professionalism and kindness. Throughout the entire process Sally was prompt with her email responses back to me and was always kind and helpful. I would highly suggest Florals By The Sea for your wedding. I had many compliments on my bouquet and I am very satisfied that I chose this florist.

yed on due to the wind but all the guests commented on how the flowers really stood out. And she put them in various locations around the boat that I would not have thought of either. Great job! Would use again with no second thoughts!

l times. I told Marja some things I wanted and didn't want and emailed her a few photos for reference, and she took it from there. The bouquets were PERFECT and better than I even imagined! I would choose Florals by the Sea again and again.

geous flowers; my bridesmaids bouquets were nothing less than that as well. The flower colors were stunning and flowed with the color scheme of the wedding flawlessly. Kellie, our floral designer, was super sweet and responsive. She understood any idea I had and made my floral dreams come true. Thank you Kellie and Florals By The Sea for adding the perfect touch to my Destin wedding!

her pictures of what I wanted and they were exactly what I wanted and more! Thank you!

ils to make them more special. I was very pleased with how he flowers turned out.

le meeting, everything was absolutely as I imagined on my wedding day. The flowers were simple and beautiful - not over the top. They also brought in lanterns and pillows. For the somewhat 'hands off' bride, this was a dream. I don't have much to compare it to as far as price is concerned, but I do feel like we got a lot for the cost.

ht from my dreams! They were very accommodating to help me stay within budget, and never made me feel anything but special! My friends constantly joked that they sounded more like my wedding planners than just florists. I would look through their website to match up the descriptions of what they said they would offer to pictures they had in their gallery: that made it very easy to work with them and modify things I wasn't too crazy about and confirm things they suggested that I absolutely loved. They responded to my many emails and even had phone calls scheduled with me so we could discuss the needs and wants. In the end, everything was completely perfect. (Note: when I had rehearsal at the venue without the decorations/flowers/etc, my husband and his friend were worried how the venue could ever look good for a wedding. On the day of the wedding, they were absolutely amazed. My husband said: You and Florals by the Sea have way more vision than I ever will!!) You will not be disappointed if you work with Florals by the Sea, just communicate your desires and review their suggestions and go from there.

ld potentially be moving indoors to a town meeting room - not nearly what we had in mind! I trusted Sally completely (which is hard for a designer to say!). Thankfully, we had no rain - and Sally gifted us with an additional lounge area at our reception! It was the perfect touch. All of our guests were in awe of her work, as were the groom and I. Everything was beautiful and perfect. Sally handled all of our decor - florals, linens, decorative pieces, furniture and even lighting. She also used all of our ceremony florals as reception centerpieces, which was so helpful for our budget. We love Sally!

color perfectly!!!! I could not be more pleased. Thank you so much Florals by the sea!!!!!!

had never met. My wedding was Mothers Day weekend so most florists were booked and would not help me. I needed only a few small bouquets. Sally was extremely helpful and gave me several options in different price ranges to choose from. The day of the wedding the flowers were everything she had described.

se many flowers but more candles and an outside "lounge area" complete with white couches, antique trunks, and chandeliers. This was the "wow" factor which completed the wedding. They are extremely organized and are there if you ever need a question asked. You will not be disappointed if you chose them.

they captured it. They also let me bring in my own colored ribbon the day before along with some charms that I made of my grandparents since they had all passed away. They attached my ribbon and grandparent charms for no cost. They also had a beautiful pearl arrangement of pins in the front that I did not expect. They were timely about answering emails since I was a destination bride and I appreciate that. They were wonderful and the flowers were so fresh. They lasted for 4 days after the wedding so that I could get home and dry them out. I had just a simple yellow rose bouquet.

team just created a beautiful beautiful atmosphere!!!

e flowers. The flowers were all absolutely perfect! I was concerned that my hydrangeas would wilt, but they all still looked perfect, even the next day! Great value, beautiful work!!!

en she followed through on every single detail she listed in my proposal (gave me every flower she outlined in it - did not leave anything out!). My bridal bouquet was large, lush and exotic, and I got so many compliments from my guests on the overall decor of the reception (many even going so far as to say it was the most beautiful reception they've ever seen)! She and her team will build up anything you want (for me it was a pergola with white draped fabric). She was so incredibly sweet, professional, and incredibly talented, it truly was such a pleasure working with her. And the fish hook with dendrobium orchid boutennieres for my husband and his groomsmen were gorgeous but masculine and truly fit their personalities. Sally is a total rockstar!

cision. I literally told her, "we're thinking yellow... and I like lilies" and she took care of the rest! She sent back a thorough invoice with a description of the bouquets I could expect. When I didn't know what some of the flowers were, she pointed me to a helpful website and even sent some pictures of similar assembled bouquets. They were absolutely gorgeous and we signed the contract. Again, I am not a flower person, but when we actually got the flowers on the day of the wedding, I was blown away by how incredibly gorgeous they were! SO many people complimented me on all of the bouquets, but I can't take any of the credit. It was entirely Sally's vision (and of course her flowers and assembly!) and I can't say enough about how wonderful the final product truly was. I would recommend Florals by the Sea to anyone planning a wedding in the Florida panhandle!!!

make it real. The flowers were amazing and lasted almost 2 weeks after the wedding. Don't hesitate to trust and use Sally @ Floral by the Sea.

requested last minute with no problems. Even the mini for the groom was perfect!

in the realm of flowers. I gave my mother and Sally the colors I wanted, what I liked and didn't like about certain flowers and decor and they went to town. My bouquet was perfect from the flowers all the way down to the wrap and bling! My matron & maids bouquets were exquisite and they lasted ALL day, night, and through the next week! I have 3 of the 4 bouquets dried and haven't decided what to do with them, but they look amazing! Sally came and prepped the day before the wedding, all day of the wedding and broke down immediately afterward. She even allowed us to use flowers for the brunch the following day! I am so pleased with her work. I recommend her services for your big day!

azing, I couldn't have asked for anything better!
