From This Day Forward

Barbara did absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! Our flowers were stunningly beautiful and I cannot say enough about how great they were. What was most important to me was the big centerpieces, & not only was Barbara very accommodating to that, but I was blown away at how amazing they turned out!!!!! She did amazing- from the bouquets, to centerpieces, to the flowers on the arbor, etc. Would definitely recommend!!!!!

Can't say enough of how of beautiful the flowers were for our Son and his Bride's wedding. She made the Bride's vision a reality from the bouquets, beautiful cemterpieces, and the beautiful arbor they were married under!!! Everyone raved at how beautiful and unique the flowers were!!!! All we can say is a big THANK YOU for make a dream a reality. Barbara and her staff are also so wonderful to work with, you can't find a nicer and more lovely person to work with. Highly reccommend for your florist!!!!!

I can't say enough good things about our experience using FTDF for our 10.21.17 wedding at The Brawley Estate in Mooresville! I was drawn to Barbara for her gorgeous designs at an affordable price - I don't think there is another florist in the Charlotte area who can produce such high quality work for such a reasonable amount! Barbara was very passionate and attentive from the beginning as she understood my vision for a "vintage Southern glamour" affair and offered suggestions and advice to bring it to reality. I was absolutely blown away with the final product - I remember watching from the bridal suite as she and her team decorated the pergola for our ceremony and feeling such a sense of excitement and relief to see the final product! Our guests commented multiple times on how gorgeous our flowers and decorations were. Barbara made our dreams come true, and we are so grateful for her because of it!

Barbara is the BEST! I would recommend her to everybody!!! She did an amazing job with all the flowers and decoration. She is very professional and had everything done before time! She is the sweetest person in the world.

Barbara did an amazing job making my Pinterest inspiration come to life for my wedding day. She was conscious of my budget and offered solutions for using different types of flowers to achieve the look I was going for, but still keep things reasonable. She also has a huge selection of vases, candle holders, votives, etcetera, so it was nice not to have to go buy all those things that I wouldn’t need after the wedding. My wedding coordinator doesn’t normally work in the area, and she was blown away by the gorgeous arrangements Barbara put together for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Thank you so much Barbara!

BARBARA IS THE BEST!!! She is amazingly talented, brings more flowers than is necessary, and does beautiful work. I cannot say enough good things about her...picking a florist was something I was dreading during the wedding planning process. I love flowers, but am not super creative and had no price reference to go on...so I wanted a florist who would also do design, but they needed to be creative enough to work within a limited budget. Barbara sat down with me to listen to my scattered ideas and things I liked, then showed me a few things she'd done in the past...and somehow made our ceremony and reception look like a wedding in a magazine! She was by far the best vendor selection we made.

Barbara is amazing! I met with a few florists to start and quickly narrowed it down to two. What sold me on Barbara was that she seemed to really understand and support my vision, and that I could tell she had more creativity than a traditional florist. Not to mention, she has an outgoing, bubbly personality and exudes passion for what she does. Being very particular, I met with Barbara twice in person before and at least twice over the phone before my wedding. In addition, any time I had an idea, thought, question, inspiration picture, etc. she encouraged me to communicate with her through text, which was super convenient. I really appreciated that Barbara never made me feel rushed or like I was a bother, which wasn't always the case with wedding vendors. She offered many different options in order to make sure I could get the look I wanted within my budget. I couldn't have been more pleased with the way Barbara transformed my wedding venue!! Starting with a completely blank slate-- an empty Dairy Barn-- she created an elegant, beautiful setting of lush flowers, lanterns, greenery, and tons of candles. She truly strives to give you exactly what you want and more, in the highest quality, within your comfortable budget. I would highly recommend Barbara to ANYONE!

If you are looking for a florist to transform your wedding venue into something magical, you must seek out Barbara at From This Day Forward. She has an amazing eye for design and gave me great ideas that I never would have thought of. My fiancé and I also had some different ideas about what we wanted and she was able to incorporate everything in such a unique way. I received so many comments about how beautiful the centerpieces were at my wedding - I just wish I could have taken them all home with me!! Reach out to Barbara for your wedding day plans - you will be glad that you did!

10/31/15 Our daughter's Wedding theme was "a night under the Stars" and Barbara made it happen!! She is not only an amazing flower specialist, but an unbelievable Artist. She is able to see what you envision and dream of and she knows her flowers. She transformed the venue into a sea of floating candles and blue and purple orhids submerged in water. Throughout the tables, was entwined flowing greenery and various glass containers of different heights with the lii candlles in floating water.and every table was unique. lBehind the Bride and Grooms chairs was an arched trellis of willow tree and climbing vines and twinkling lights. The head table had the greenery flowing from the front all the way to the end entwined through all the water containers. When I entered the Ballroom, it was a sight to behold...I have never seen a more beautiful Wedding reception!! The Ballroom glowed and sparkled with all the candles and the reflection on the water. She was also able to do the same magical mystical theme of flowing greenery with orchids for the Bride as well as the bridesmaids bouquets. iShe then placed heavy wrought iron laterns with lit pillars of candles outside on the wrap around porch and down the stairs that lead to the dock and water...the glow added to the view that was seen from the sparkling reception room. Most importantly, she will work within your budget and use her resources to get the best for your vision. Barbara created the most magical unforgetable night with her talent and she will do the same for you!!!

Barbara is one of the best florist around. She takes what you are seeing, and makes it better. She so wants to do the best work, and stay within your budget. She has done several weddings of my friends, and I knew she would not disappoint me with my flowers for my wedding. She added everything I wanted and more.

While I was worried leading up to the wedding since I began planning well over a year in advance since my husband and I were completing college, I noticed a little less contact than I had hoped for. Upon being referred by a friend, I felt for sure things would be great. I was more than happy with my flowers. With an open mind on how I had hoped my flowers would look, I provided a simple pic with an idea and allowed Barbara to take the picture and produce what she felt looked best. Upon arriving in the limo and seeing my flowers I almost died. They were beyond what I could have ever imagined. She was very reasonably priced and the outcome was more than I ever expected.

beautiful and great tasting cake, easy to work with
