Forage Florals

Perfection. Forage Florals handled the flowers and decor for our Santa Ynez winery wedding in July 2016. Simply stunning. Forage's floral arrangements were unbelievable and just gorgeous. The flowers looked like they cost twice what they did. I selected the designer's choice package and it was executed with such style and ease. Just tell her your colors and relax be jade she will give you the wedding flowers of your dreams! These flowers had such a "wow" factor. Nearly everyone commented that they were the most beautiful wedding flowers they had ever seen! I'm serious. My bridal bouquet was incredible. People took pictures of the bouquet by itself it was so gorgeous! Working with Forage (Jill) was fantastic and I can't recommend her enough. My wedding looked like it belonged in a bridal magazine or on a wedding website. It was exquisite. All because of Forage Florals.

Jill did all of the floral design for my June wedding in Santa Ynez. Although flowers were not the top priority for our wedding, Jill truly changed my mind on how much floral can make an impact by how incredible her work was. I exhausted my research for a florist who was unique, flexible, organic, easy to work with and afforable. Jill exceeded my expectations. We went for a farm to table feel with lots of fresh produce weaved into our floral design. Jill impressed me immediately when she shared how she planned to use as much as she could fresh off her farm. She even sent pictures of beautiful flowers that she was growing in prep for my wedding. I wasn't sure what to expect when we arrived but we were wowed. Guests commented for weeks after our wedding on how beautiful the flowers were and they truly helped make our photos stand out. Not only was her work amazing, but Jill is extremely personable, professional and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to visiting her on the ranch the next time we visit the valley to see what she has growing! You will be a lucky bride to work with Jill.

Unlike probably most brides, I really didn't care about flowers. Neither did my husband, but that's to be expected from a guy, right? We both were more interested in putting our money towards what we perceived as more important things. And flowers die anyway! Well, I'm sure our wedding would've been just fine had we had no flowers or kept it it to a bare minimum, but it probably wouldn't have felt as magical and romantic and just simply stunning as it ended up being WITH the flowers. We couldn't have been happier with Forage. Jill Redman's flowers and arrangements were like out of a dream. For a girl who didn't care about flowers, I was completely obsessed with how they turned out....still am. Yes, they die, but the pictures and the memories last forever, and that is priceless. We are so grateful to have had such a creative, talented florist on our team. She also incorporated the most gorgeous taper candles and brass bud vases....every little thing looked like it was made for each other. My husband and I worked really hard on some DIY touches displayed throughout the wedding and Jill's flower arrangements and tapers brought it all to life in a way we couldn't have imagined. It took experiencing it ourselves to feel the magic that a talented florist can create. We still get compliments about that day and how beautiful everything was, from my bouquet, the flower girl's crown, the boutonnières to the mom's corsages, who wore the most beautiful gold cuff bracelets that were adorned with even prettier wrist corsages. Finally, and possibly most important, was Jill herself. She was definitely one of our favorite vendors. Always so sweet and thoughtful and a joy to have around. And it was nice to feel that she actually listened to us when we shared our vision. We couldn't believe she was also the only vendor to follow up with us after the wedding. We really appreciated that because to the other vendors who didn't bother, it kind of made us feel like once they had our money, they were gone. I would recommend Jill and Forage to any would-be bride. I'll cherish the memories of her flowers and tapers forever! Thank God for photos and video!
