Gabriele's Hand Designs

lorals and colors at my wedding. Gabriele is responsive, professional, and amazing at what she does! I would definitely recommend her.

fresh and lasted all day/night.

ng with her so great! I sent her ideas of what I wanted for the centerpieces and my girl's bouquets, and it was all fantastic! I would not hesitate to recommend Gabriele's Hand Designs and will use them again for any future events we may have.

ral arrangements for my wedding. From my arbor to my bouquet to boutonnieres; everything came out better than I imagined it. She will suggest flowers which are more in season and is able to work with unique and even challenging ideas. She's beyond reasonably priced in comparison to many other florists. Hire her!!

eable and was able to help guide us to pick the best flowers for the season that would really pop at our venue. Highly recommend!

ould not have been happier with the final result. She was also very flexible with COVID and allowed us to move our date, even though that meant she had 2 weddings to supply flowers for on the same day. Highly recommend her to everyone!

s and understood exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!

set everything up as I had asked and was good to work with!

orked hard to make sure my vision was a reality. Everything she created looked exactly like the photos I had sent her. It was everything I could have envisioned. Also, her price was half of what other florist wanted to charge me. I would highly recommend . She was one of the best vendors that did exactly what I had asked for.

er the same flexibility, knowledge, or care as I got with Gabriele. She sat on the phone with me and got some information on everything from my dress style to bridesmaids dress colors and everything in between. I then sent her pictures via email of my visions. She went through and broke down each one into what flowers were included, their costs, and how I could swap them out to make them more budget friendly. On the day of my wedding when she brought in my and the bridesmaids bouquets, I was STUNNED. I had the same reactions when I saw the centerpieces and everything at the venue and chapel. Gabriele emulated my pictures and vision better than I even imagined. Everything down to the bridesmaids bouquet ribbons matched their dresses perfectly. I am SO happy I went with Gabriele. She TRULY made our wedding. We can not recommend her more ❤️

heme, & emailed Gabriele right away to see if we could discuss some changes. Each time I emailed her, it would take a minimum of a week for her to respond, sometimes even two weeks. She seemed very accommodating to the changes we wanted to make, although it took about a month for us to finally speak to discuss everything. The month before the wedding, I reached out to recap the changes and make sure we were both on the same page. It took her a long time to get back to me, & I asked multiple times for an updated contract with everything written out, which she would not provide, claiming "it was all in her notes". I stupidly trusted this, but also sent my own recap email to her written out of all the flowers we wanted. She sent me a handwritten update. Day of the wedding, some of the arrangements were perfect and beautiful, but there were some major issues with the majority. The centerpiece boxes were supposed to be grey, and they were tan. The flowers were supposed to be roses and some filler flowers, however she used babys breath in the centerpieces and bridesmaid bouquets which I had strictly said I did not want anywhere at our wedding. (And was also NEVER written on any of the recaps) The colors were supposed to be blush pink and white, but they were white, bright pink, and orange. After the wedding I asked Gabriele to explain what happened, and her response was simply that she expressed her artistic freedom creating our flowers, and that she was "not an order taker". Overall some of the pieces were fine however, my bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, and centerpieces were all not what we asked for or discussed. Communication was a serious issue, even leading up to the week before the wedding having difficulty getting in touch with her, which was stressful. I would not use her again.

sts wanted to charge!! The personal flowers, garland, wreaths, and church arrangements were BEAUTIFUL and looked great next to our handmade silk floral centerpieces and bouquets! Another great touch is Gabriele personally visited all pre-wedding locations (hotel, bride’s house, church, and venue) to make sure everything was perfect and to pin on everyone’s personal flowers! Just the pinning alone is so worth it! Our groomsmen flowers weren’t droopy!! We highly recommend Gabriele's Hand Designs!!

g your wishes and creativity/ color schemes all at the same time. Price is also reasonable. She was on time and her services were much appreciated.

atsby theme. She helped brainstorm and creatively come up with beautiful floral designs and even handmade gold sequin tablecloths and runners for us. The day of, we unfortunately had to move the event inside, but thanks to Gabriele, it was the most beautiful indoor ceremony I have ever seen!!! And when I saw my bouquet (Gabriele personally delivered it to me in my bridal suite), I couldn't help but smile even though I was upset about the rain. Gabriele is amazing. HIGHLY recommend. She made our day beautiful.

nd she beat some of them by more than 50%! I wanted beautiful flowers on my wedding day but did not want to spend a fortune and I found the winning combination with Gabriele. The bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful and complimented my vineyard wedding perfectly.

he is such an artist! After sharing a few photos of what I was imagining for my bouquet and the reception decor, she took it from there and honestly gave me even better flowers than I was imagining. She was so kind and easy to work with, extremely responsive and attentive to my sometimes excessive emailing! I highly highly recommend choosing her to be your florist. She is so reasonably priced, and really helped me to stay within my budget. She also puts a lot of care into her work which is so professional and wonderful. She came to my reception to help set up each and every one of the centerpieces before the ceremony, and pinned all the guys boutonnieres to ensure they looked perfect. I could go on and on about how much I loved my wedding flowers and how grateful I am to Gabriele for being the best. I researched/spoke with a lot of florists before landing on Gabriele and I hope I can save you the time and energy and just give you the advice to choose her. I promise you won't regret it!

flowers. She was very responsive to calls and e-mails. We were very happy with the final result.

ooden barrels for my center pieces she helped me design every piece of floral décor I would need. She held my hand every step of the way and that was great for me as I am not a creative person. Thank you Gabriele for making all my flower dreams come to life.

we wanted and didn't want for our wedding and stayed well within our budget. She kept in constant contact and we were able to add or subtract things as close as up to two weeks before the wedding. Only complaints are that when the flowers were delivered the day of, her assistant Sean left the rose petals that were supposed to be scattered on a table with memorial candles in the ceremony room, in the hotel room where us girls were getting ready and we had to scramble to get them downstairs for someone to scatter on the table before the ceremony and he didn't stay to pin the corsages on our moms as promised. Otherwise, it was a pleasure working with Gabriele and her team and would definitely recommend her!

, Gabriele did perfectly. The colors were vibrant and exactly what we wanted. The table center pieces were exactly the way I asked for them to be. And the price was extremely reasonable. Between the 9 bouquets, 1 flower girl "wand", 10 boutonnieres, 3 parent boutonnieres & corsages, 3 grandparent boutonnieres and corsages, 13 table center pieces and archway decorated with flowers for our ceremony, the price was amazing. If you want a good deal and stunning flowers, please check Gabriele out!

est for our colors, style, season and budget. It was way more affordable than I anticipated. She has a gifted eye and sense of style. She was very accommodating, reliable and easy to work with. She also has some nice items to rent including sheperds hooks and got us our aisle runner. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors to set up at the venue. I can't recommend her enough!

t for me. She was extremely professional and intuitive, and listened carefully to what we envisioned for our wedding day. Throughout the entire planning process, we emailed back and forth, bouncing ideas off of each other. She made excellent suggestions, and when it came to the big day, it was clear how thoughtful and creative she was in her choices. Everything was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Gabriele was so incredible, and even pinned my “something blue,” a beautiful handkerchief from my great-grandmother, right into my bouquet. She was at my house right on time to drop off bouquets, then made her way to the church to meet the boys. She hand-pinned every flower to their suits, and did the same for all of our attendants. Gabriele designed the gorgeous ceremony decorations and arrangements, and she certainly did not disappoint. The simplistic arrangements only complemented the beauty of the church. Before leaving the church to head to the reception venue, Gabriele made sure that everything was all set, and stopped to fluff my dress before I headed down the aisle… such a beautiful personal touch. Gabriele then made her way in the pouring rain to our reception at The Riverhouse, where she continued to work her magic. From the cocktail décor, to the centerpieces, and everything in between – it was spot on! She even put a few small flowers on our cake to make it that much more special. Every arrangement looked as it if were out of a magazine, and when walking into the reception hall for the first time, I was completely amazed at the beauty of the room. It literally took my breath away…the arrangements were absolutely stunning. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Gabriele's Hand Designs. Gabriele is professional, creative, intuitive, talented, and has a genuinely kind soul. You will not be disappointed.
