Ilonka Floral Decorator

knew then, that Ilonka would do our son's wedding. From the birch bark Chuppah, with flowers adorning the top and side, to the boutonnieres, and the short and tall centerpieces on the tables, all were outstanding. Friends and relatives were just blown away with Ilonka and Keel's work. Most had never seen anything quite like it.

ven though our wedding was moved indoors, she provided great alternatives for arranging the ceremony. She's the best!!! ❤️❤️

view the photographs! The table center pieces added a whimsical softness to the room... so delicate and lovely! I worked directly with Keely and basically she took the reigns and ran with it after i described my basic wishes... Truly a natural talent and spectacular work!

ll of the flowers that Ilonka provided were stunning! She is the best. There is absolutely no substitute!

bouquets and personal arrangements for our parents and grandparents, the sweetest flower crown for our flower girl, incredible eucalyptus and olive leaf garlands for the front door, staircase, and our VERY long reception tables, a fabulous peony and olive leaf arrangement on our arch, the most breathtaking hanging floral arrangements in the reception tent, and so much more...all on a day that was 90+ degrees and very humid) they were also helpful, patient, flexible and extremely kind throughout the entire planning process. What I love most about this mother daughter team is that they truly love what they do, which made the entire experience so much fun for me and my Mom. We felt as though Ilonka and Keely were with us every step of the way (even when we had to change wedding venues several months before our date!) and I am so grateful for that. Their experience, knowledge and attention to detail is unparalleled. They completely transformed the venue space and when I arrived that day everything I saw surpassed the vision I had for how things would turn out. We received endless compliments from our guests on the flowers, and are truly blown away by the beautiful turn out - the arrangements they created truly made the wedding! I feel so much appreciation and gratitude for everything they did to bring our dream wedding to life. I will think of them every time I look back on the beautiful day and amazing experience that just wouldn't have been the same without their special touch!

m bouquet from just a simple explanation. Additionally, these ladies took care of everything on the day of the wedding and were incredibly flexible throughout the planning. I highly recommend using Ilonka. You will not be disappointed!!

uests came in all week long. Trust Ilonka to make your dream come true! Mother of the Bride

was a pleasure to work with. I changed my mind what felt like a million times and Ilonka was always very patient, helpful,and responsive. I highly recommend Ilonka Floral and would use them again in a heartbeat!

wanted to cry, because it was more beautiful than I had ever imagined! Not only was it done in a superb way, but she was SO nice to work with as well! I highly recommend her!!

bunch of beautiful red roses that were simply stunning against my white dress. The flowers were fresh all night and made for some wonderful pictures. Ilonka and Keely are so friendly and professional with creative vision to make every bride's dream come true!

; just amazing and far exceeded our expectations. Many guests commented on the beautiful arrangements for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Ilonka and her daughter Keely were very professional, a delight to work with and totally flexible to our needs. We gave ideas of what we wanted and their flower selections and recommendations were perfect. We purchased a series of vases for the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception so our guests could take flowers home and enjoy them for days to come. Ilonka made some of the most amazing arrangements we have ever seen. Ilonka and Keely, thank you so much for making such beautiful arrangements; they were truly perfect! Darcy & Dan D'Andrea

d Keely met with us several times before the wedding and were open to our ideas--they created flower arrangements that were exactly what we were looking for! We had so many compliments on the flowers arrangements, bouquets, and one of Ilonka's staples--the hanging candelabra arrangements! Everything was so beautiful and we can't thank Ilonka and Keely enough! I would definitely recommend using them for your wedding or other event--they're amazing!

nsive and time sensitive so we had NO worries about everything being in place and elegant - a joy. Ilonka had this knack of sensing what our daughter wanted and turning it into an enchanted, beautiful evening. She understood our budget and more than met it with memories that are beyond value. Thank you. Thank you.

leased with the finished product. She also asked me lots of questions that I had not yet thought about, which helped me to really pull together my decor for the reception. Her experience was such an asset to me. Her service was also top notch. She was responsive, flexible, and stayed within my budget. On the day of the wedding I remembered I had forgotten to ask for a small bouquet of roses to place at the statue of Mary in our church, and she whipped something together and had it waiting at the church for us. She went above and beyond, and I am just so happy and relieved that I had such a great florist and artistic spirit to help make my wedding day feel perfect. If I ever have any events in the greater Philadelphia area requiring floral decor, she will be my first call.

s. They were little works of art. She had never been to the reception venue before, so she met me there a few months before the wedding to gather information about my vision for the space. She demonstrated patience and flexibility whenever I changed my mind throughout the planning process, reworking the flower proposal several times. I appreciated the honest opinions she provided and her openness to my ideas. It was evident that Ilonka takes pride in her work and genuinely cares that every wedding she helps to create turns out beautiful and unique. Early in the process, I made a lot of specific flower request. As I got to know Ilonka and gained confidence in her work, I realized that I didn’t need to micromanage her. Letting go and trusting Ilonka was the best decision I could have made. She nailed my vision and improved upon it in ways that I hadn’t imagined. Her experience and expertise reflected in every arrangement, from the delicate flower girl crowns to the beautiful garland for the sweetheart table. The venue was so impressed with Ilonka’s work that they added her to their list of preferred vendors. The quality of Ilonka’s work is unparalleled. Come to you first appointment with a general idea of the atmosphere you hope to create and she will deliver the wedding of your dreams. I cannot thank her enough!

apprehensive about how exactly to make our wedding a beautiful event in spite of this fact. When we met with Ilonka and Keely initially, they asked us several questions about our venue and mentioned that they would be in touch with sample pictures and style ideas. I do not know how they were able to translate our un-artistic ramblings into elegant design ideas, but they did! They had clearly listened to the specific decisions that we had already made, and provided us with several different options that might work. It is evident that they take great pride in their work, as they truly strove to fit the décor with the venue, while still incorporating and acknowledging our design preferences. Exemplifying this, they took the time to independently go out to the venue to explore the site. They called us right afterward because they were so excited about the new design ideas that they had come up with while looking at the space! On the day of the wedding, they made everything incredibly easy for us and dropped off bouquets and boutonnieres in plenty of time for photos, and at times that accommodated our transportation schedule. Despite having everything delivered early in the day for pictures and the 90-degree weather that we had, the flowers looked absolutely stunning all day long. We received numerous compliments from our guests. On top of everything else, they are absolutely delightful to work with! Their passion for design comes through in the attention to detail that they provide to every piece. Our dog was our flower girl/ring bearer, and they even made her a wreath to wear that was gorgeous and was so well made that it lasted throughout the entire day! For us, the process could not have been easier, and the outcome could not have been better!

ne of the reasons. I cannot thank you enough! Colleen Moore, mother of the bride

e and style personally which translates into her beautiful and highest quality floral design. I really liked the fact that she only contracts one wedding per weekend. She personally does all the work herself along with her daughter. They help with entire table design not just drop off arrangements. From start to finish I knew everything would be perfect and it was. The flowers at the church, the brides and bridesmaids bouquet and the dinner tables at the reception were all stunningly beautiful! I was over the top pleased and delighted. Thank-you Ilonka for being so great to work with and for helping to make the day extra special.

n the beautiful flower selections. She constructed breathtaking tables for my reception using unbelievable flowers, pots and gorgeous candelabras. Her recommendations and suggestions enhanced the venue room, really creating the overall romantic theme. Our guests still rave about the centerpieces and how her work made the wedding so memorable. My wedding would not have been as beautiful without her (and I really mean that!) In addition she is a beautiful person to work with - kind, professional and patient. She met with us many times to easy our concerns and answer our questions. I knew come wedding day that her work would be amazing and she did not disappoint!

n helped us with our lack of knowledge with flowers and was able to give us a good idea of what she had in mind with pictures which put me at ease. She genuinely has a very calming and stress free approach which I greatly appreciated, I do too, and its hard to come by in the wedding industry! With Ilonka, planning was so easy and lovely, but when I walked out and saw everything they had done, I melted. Absolutely PERFECT. I had no idea how aligned our visions could be, but Ilonka and her daughter made the most magical transformation on the alter, the farm, the trees and tables... it was amazing. I got endless compliments all day about how lovely the flowers were. But it wasn't just the flowers, they had a vision for so many details, from hanging votives in the trees to the flower girls head wreaths, and our cheese table display! Our space was expansive and I was afraid I'd need endless flowers to really make an impact, but they got it, and did it tastefully, elegantly and organically. I cannot say enough good things about Ilonka, they make it worth it.

elped me pick flowers that were in season and sent a zip file with pictures of each flower. She set up the flowers at our ceremony location and then moved them to our reception location so we could reuse arrangements. The quality of the flowers she had was unbelievable. Every flower looked impeccable. Even the photographer commented that he's never seen white flowers look so luxe but also unique. My guests could not stop gushing over the flowers and many asked to take arrangements home. If you want quality, service, and attention to detail, Ilonka is the florist for you.

will bring it to life. She turned what is an otherwise bland ballroom space into my dream wedding atmosphere!

.. she listened and executed! Very professional. Made us feel like our wedding was the ONLY wedding... and was special. Would gladly recommend Ilonka to anyone planning a wedding - or any event. Wish we could do it again!

ved the craspedia she used!

ces. She created a vintage, elegant, even somewhat bohemian look to our wedding. The quality and color of the flowers were fantastic, we were able to use them (even our bouquets) the next day to beautify our brunch. Keely surprised me and brought some beautiful flower lantern/globes to hang in the trees (at no cost), they were a huge hit. Not only does she have great taste, she is so accommodating. I had some last minute changes and she was completely understanding and worked with me on it. Wedding planning can be stressful, but Keely was fun to work with and has such a fresh, unique sense of fashion that I didn't worry at all about how the flowers would come out and they were more beautiful than I ever imagined. Loved it!

xecute what we wanted, she made suggestions that made the entire event even better. My daughter and I loved working with this special person!!!

he warmly welcomed us into her beautiful studio to discuss initial plans and arrangements and did an excellent job of balancing her professional opinion with my ideas too! We planned our wedding from long distance and even when I changed my mind about the style, Ilonka sent me details and photos to ensure we were both on the same page! The flowers for our wedding turned out perfectly and we received so many compliments about how every detail worked so well together much in part to the wonderful color schemes and arrangements that Ilonka created. I couldn't have been happier and I would recommend her work to anyone that asks!

gave her a couple of ideas on the type of flowers we liked and she wowed us with her proposal and it was even more amazing in person. This was our family's second time using Ilonka for a wedding and we had nothing but the best experience both times. She is so professional about everything and is also incredibly flexible with schedules. You won't regret your decision to use Ilonka. She pays attention to every detail so that you don't have to on your big day. And your guests will be wowed by what she and her team can do.

o sit down and lay out all my ideas again (we had 4 different centerpieces) but I am so glad that I did!!!! If I was going to be a florist, I'd want to be exactly like Ilonka!! She was prepared, her studio was very nice and set up for different style weddings. She had her portfolio on a computer ready to go. The most important thing I will say, she did not just get my vision. She took it to the next level, a level I could never imagine as I am not a florist. All of my arrangements were better than I had dreamed they could be. Ilonka was exceptionally easy to work with and honestly if I could throw a big party every year, I'd use her every time. She is absolutely worth every cent!!! Thanks again Ilonka!!

as. I would definitely recommend Ilonka. I look forward to doing business with her again in the future!

de all of the containers/holders that I provided work! She took some of our own pieces of decor and did ridiculously cool things with them. I loved that she didn't need a ton of input from me aside from color/flower preferences, because she is truly an expert and I really didn't have any idea what I wanted specifically! She delivered our flowers early in the day so we would have them for pictures, and even threw a few flowers on top of the cake when our topper went missing! It was a pleasure working with Ilonka, she made flowers and center pieces one of the most stress-free parts of our wedding, and the guests all RAVED about the flowers!

substitutions to create an amazing end result. llonka is creative, organized, detail oriented, thoughtful and all around a great person to work with. She is an incredible communicator and her sweet, calm demeanor kept me at ease throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed brainstorming with her from beginning to end. We had a blast bouncing ideas off of one another. Everyone at our wedding was beyond impressed by our beautiful flowers. Our setting was elegant, fun and most of all breathtaking!

h piece was a unique design not just flowers. The combinations she uses provide balance and compliment each other. Ilonka goes the extra mile. Ilonka listens and executes with excellence and precision. She heard the night before our big event that my husband really wanted centerpieces that allowed guests across the tables, to see one another. So, she took it upon herself, despite having had them a little higher, to make adjustments. She took the extra care and time to lower every single piece. He was so happy with the outcome. Our event was held under a lovely tent and under a gorgeous 70' grape arbor. Ilonka's designs were petfectly in-line with the surroundings . Our event would not have been complete without Ilonka's designs. She is attentive, professional, and has a beautiful contagious joy in all her work.

for the first time, she was warm and welcoming and sitting with her to discuss my ideas felt like I had known her for years. She collaborated with my mother and me to really bring my vision to life. With a tight budget throughout our planning, Ilonka was easy to work with and willing to tweak things to help us stay on budget, even up to the last few weeks before the wedding. When we had last minute needs for alter arrangements, I simply sent her a photo of the church and she took it from there, producing gorgeous arrangements for the price we could afford. After showing Ilonka a photo of the bouquet I wanted, with the intricacies and detail, she designed it perfectly to match. The centerpieces were equal part breathtaking and dramatic, which really just made our reception room complete. She even surprised me with the gittery bands I really wanted on the tall vases, which was just perfect! Ilonka exceeded all of my expectations and I really cannot say enough about how wonderful she is and thank her for making my day so special! Hire Ilonka for your wedding and you won’t be disappointed!

th new ideas in relation to colors, flowers, and the look we were attempting to create. It was reassuring to sit down with her and feel the warmth and interest that she took. The end result was exactly what we wanted providing us with the price point and look that we were after. The flowers and arrangements were so gorgeous they took your breath away.She knows her flowers and her creativity has no bounds. Who could ask for anything more?

at the end of the reception for guests to take home. There were just extra touches that set her apart from the different vendors that I met. Ilonka is such a classy lady and I was so glad that I chose to go with her for our floral arrangement for one of the most important days of my life. I would recommend her highly to help accomplish the wedding of your dreams.

h her and I appreciated her flexibility and professionalism. I never worried the flowers wouldn't be what we wanted. I had complete trust in her ability and wasn't disappointed, I highly recommend Ilonka and look forward to the next wedding. Sincerely, Kim Murphy

ook great care with each of the arrangements and also provided us with beautiful linens to accompany the flowers. Choosing Ilonka was one of our best decisions. Barbara Gross

e pews were trimmed with crisp white ribbons and fluffy white hydrangea...the bride's bouquet exceeded expectation..as did the bridesmaids' bouquets. The floral arrangements and tablescaping were elegant and set the mood our daughter was wanting. I would highly recommend Ilonka to friends and family. Ilonka is easy to work with and full of creative ideas. She really knows flowers. Thank you for a most enjoyable experience.

as delivered on time and was labeled so I didnt have to worry about whose flowers were whose and the centerpieces and other floral arrangements turned out even better than I had imagined! I highlt recommend Ilonka!

of times in the 10 months until my wedding, I thought she would be wrong. She wasn't. Over 3 in-person meetings and countless emails, I second guessed every selection I made. Throughout the entire process, Ilonka could not have been more kind, patient and accommodating. She was willing to work with me so I could get exactly what I wanted, offering ideas at a price I was comfortable with. In the days leading up to my wedding, Ilonka was in constant contact with me. Given that my wedding was in March, we weren't sure we would be able to get all of the flowers I had requested. She notified me of any change, made sure all flowers met her expectations for high-quality, and even drove out of state to get the cherry blossoms I wanted. The day before my wedding, she had to let me know that the lily of the valley she had ordered for my bouquet had died. She scrambled to get my second choice flower, and even made two versions of my bouquet to be sure I was happy with it. To me, flowers make the look and feel of an event. The day of the wedding, when I saw all of the arrangements that Ilonka had created, particularly the centerpieces, I was absolutely blown away. She made my day more beautiful than I ever could have imagined, and I cannot thank her enough!

st in the right place. She was great to work with from beginning to end. She went out of her way to be on time, while also having both a calming and positive energy and exemplar skills in her craft. With a wedding there are so many details and Ilonka thought of all the finishing touches. Her work transformed the venue into an enchanted garden, where the celebration was truly magical. The other exemplar piece of work was the bouquet, which was spectacular and stunning. She captured EXACTLY what I wanted and made this bride extremely happy. I cannot recommend her work more highly - and you do really get above and beyond what you pay for...from the quality of the work, the professionalism, the kindness, the decorative eye, her attention to detail and her overall wonderful manner.

by my photographer and I knew we would hire her from the moment we stepped onto her cute porch in Malvern. I brought some picture ideas of my own and looked through her pictures as well. Within about 10 minutes Ilonka had perfectly captured my vision and I knew there wasn't a thing I had to worry about. She was very willing to work with us in price and all in all it was the most pleasant experience we could have asked for. Ilonka is fabulous and so are her flowers!!

eye and the ability to translate your vision into something even more beautiful than you imagined. Her follow through was extraordinary and she delivered absolutely everything she promised and more.

o a great job...and I was right- my flowers were beautiful! She listened carefully to what I wanted, but also added in her comments on what she thought would work well. She made sure to work with in my budget and always responded to my emails and calls immediately. I would highly recommend Ilonka to any of my friends and family. People are still talking about how beautiful my flowers were. I also really loved working with her over the past year and a half - it really helps when you have a good relationship and trust your vendors on one of the most important days of your life. I knew Ilonka would do a great job and couldn't be happier that I chose her for my wedding!

anted and stay within a budget. She considered every detail and it showed the day of the wedding. The colors, design and quality of the flowers were truly spectacular! Ilonka was an absolute pleasure to work with --- always very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for something special, Ilonka Floral Design is the place. Katie B.

even more beautiful than I could have imagined! They fit in exactly with the theme of a "summer garden wedding", which is the atmosphere I hoped to have, combined with an air of natural elegance and class. The flowers were gorgeous and I couldn't have been happier! Ilonka is a wonderful person to work with and has a talent for understanding your vision and bringing that vision to life in her floral decorations. I highly recommend using her as your floral decorator!

y made my vision come true. We received countless compliments on the flowers at our wedding. I couldn't have been happier with the way things looked - just beautiful. Most important to me, as a bride who did not have a wedding planner, Ilonka was a key vendor for our wedding. She was responsive, thorough, and a true partner - she visited the venue, and worked with the manager at our reception site without having to get me involved. With only an eight month engagement, I needed a pro like Ilonka to be able to "run" with things a bit on her own. We were so happy working with Ilonka that we had her do the flowers for our engagement party and my shower too. Finally, you can just tell she loves what she does and has a passion for flowers and decorating. I love her taste, and her dedication. If you want personal, attentive service and a beautiful end product, Ilonka is the best!

e the flowers amazing, but was worried that they would not fulfill the vision I had. On the day of my wedding when Ilonka dropped of my flowers I was speechless...they were everything and more than I had been hoping for! She worked so hard to find what I wanted and made all of the flower arrangements so unique and gorgeous! I really enjoyed working with her! She was easy to work with and exuded confidence which allowed me to share my vision and then trust that she would do all that she could to make it amazing! I would recommend Ilonka to all!

enterpiece. She was engaging, working with my initial ideas and turing them into a cohesive look. Ilonka offers a variety of styles, has an incredibly creative eye, and will give you the look you want. I was so happy to have worked with her.

g flowers. I met with Ilonka and her daughter, Keely, exactly one year before my wedding date and they immediately understood what I was envisioning and offered helpful suggestions. On the day of my wedding, the flowers were simply breathtaking! The bouquets and all of the arrangements looked even more beautiful than I had imagined! Ilonka and Keely were wonderful to work with and I knew all along that they would do a spectacular job. I can't thank them enough for all of their hard work. My wedding day was perfect and Ilonka and Keely were a huge part of making that happen. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a special event!

us a few new ideas and took care of it. She's very reasonably priced for what we got as well.

oves what she does and did everything she could to make sure we loved the end result!

e was went beyond my expectations with our flowers for the ceremony and the reception. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the flowers were.

ey always made me feel comfortable and relaxed that this element was under control! They were very attentive and responsive to questions or changes. They helped work with me on pricing. I trusted their advice and input and it paid off! I got tons of compliments on my centerpieces and my bouquet. Everything was gorgeous and went off without a hitch. I would recommend Ilonka again and again.

ourceful in providing suggestions and insights that enhanced the overall presentation and effect. The resulting color palette was so much more beautiful than I had originally imagined, and we were able to use seasonal flowers which helped to keep costs down. Most of our communication was conducted by phone and e-mail, and Ilonka was always prompt to respond to my questions and concerns. She worked directly with the venue staff to take care of all set-up and take-down needs; I never had to deal with any of it which was great for me! I received tons of compliments on our flowers and especially my bouquet, and our friends and families are still commenting on them as we review photos from the big day! Ilonka's work is incredibly beautiful and elegant, AND it appeals to more traditional tastes (i.e., my parents) as well as more contemporary/edgy preferences (i.e., me and my husband). I really enjoyed my experience working with her and am SO thankful for the incredible work that she did! I would highly recommend her to other brides and to anyone looking to enhance any other special event!

llent taste and judgement. I recommend her highly and look forward to working with her again some day.

tching my color scheme. She was extremely flexible and fun to work with. I would highly recommend Ilonka for your upcoming event!

ridal party. We had a vision for our wedding that Ilonka interperted and created a beautiful, and classy display for our day. We knew the color scheme we wanted and Ilonka was able to create a pallet that was truely perfection. I would reccommend Ilonka Floral Design to any bride who is looking for something with edge, class and imagination. They were truely remarkable!

y. The ceremony flowers and reception flowers were just perfect for my garden wedding, draping flowers on the water wall, and gorgeous centerpieces of pinks and greens and cool silver lanterns. I would refer her to anyone looking for a truly talented floral designer!
