Maria Schendzelos Design

Look no further for a florist, Maria is the one for you! Maria was professional, knowledgeable and very considerate of our budget. What I loved most about Maria is we gave her colors and a dollar amount, and she did the rest. I didn’t have to pick out the types of flowers I wanted because I’m not the expert, she is. She was able to make my dream wedding come true with the perfect in-season flowers to make it affordable. I couldn’t say enough good things about her. She even stayed to help wedding coordinate for us. She was recommended by our venue, and it was the best choice we made. Thank you, Maria!!

Maria is incredible. She is an absolute dream to work with, I cannot recommend her enough. She was so willing to work within our budget when so few other vendors were. Originally, we were just going to have her do the bouquets and boutonnieres, and do the table arrangements ourselves. But after talking with her, we wound up having her to the table arrangements as well, still staying within our budget! Not only that, the day before our wedding she brought fresh flowers to add to the backdrop of our friend was creating for our reception venue. It all looked absolutely gorgeous. We had a low budget wedding and planning was not my favorite thing. But she made everything look so stunning and made our lives so much easier. I am so grateful to have found her for our wedding, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist in the area!

Maria did an awesome job for our floral arrangements. I showed her some pictures of the colors and style I liked and she nailed it. Everything was beautiful! I would highly recommend her if you love eloquent and timeless arrangements.

Maria did a wonderful job with the flower arrangements for my niece’s bridal shower. Everyone complemented on how lovely the flowers were.

Maria did a magnificent job with the floral arrangements for our daughter's wedding. The wedding was in our home. Maria was able to dress up our farmhouse style home using our our ideas and adding her creative touch. The fireplace decor and staircase were just beautiful. She also made the stunning bouquets for the bride her attendants as well as the centerpieces for the dinner tables. Everything she creates is simply beautiful! I highly recommend her!

We love working with Maria at the 173 Carlyle House. She is always very professional, on time, a great value, and does amazing work. I am using her for my daughters wedding at the Carlyle House on 4-4-20! I would highly recommend her.

Maria did a wonderful job for our November wedding in Norcross! We were having trouble finding a florist that was within our budget and then our venue recommended talking to Maria, and I am so glad they did! Not only was Maria able to work with the budget we had, but she totally understood and matched the vision I had for flowers. She was there throughout the months leading up to answer any questions we had, and really took the time to get an understanding of what I was looking for. The flowers, table arrangements, and other arrangements and decor throughout the venue were absolutely beautiful. The colors and greenery she used were exactly what I had envisioned for our Fall wedding.

We used Maria for our wedding in Norcross,Ga on April 27,2019. I ended up having to book her last minute due to complications with my previous florist. Maria assured me everything was going to be great and not to stress! I sent her pictures of what I liked via Pinterest. Maria used the photos I sent her, and made some of the prettiest bouquets. I was so AMAZED when I saw my bouquet the day of the wedding. It was everything I had hoped and dreamed for. When we arrived at the Carlyle House, and I saw the ballroom my mouth dropped in awe. The ballroom was so beautiful. My guest have still not stopped raving about how the whole house had flowers throughout and how beautiful of a job she did! 100% recommend Maria to any bride! She is so sweet and just wants the bride to enjoy all the planning!

Maria is WONDERFUL and will make planning your event a breeze. We had two receptions (American and Bangladeshi) with two different color schemes. As with any wedding, cost was a huge concern. Maria helped us come up with a plan to share flowers between our two events which saved us a ton of money. We also weren't picky about the type of flowers as long as we hit on colors and budget, so she got creative with what was in season to make that happen. She was also excited about that creative freedom, whereas other florists made me feel like a difficult client when I mentioned that. You cannot go wrong hiring her. Thanks for everything Maria!

We hired Maria to do the flowers for the wedding last year, and the results were absolutely stunning! Everything was above and beyond expectations, and she was so easy to work with. Maria really made sure that we were using our budget to get the most wow for our buck, and it really showed on the day as we received many compliments on how beautiful our flower arrangements were. Would highly recommend!

Maria was just wonderful! So easy to work with! She gave me just what I wanted and repurposed the flowers several times for different parties during the weekend. I look forward to working with her again.

Maria was so incredibly helpful and sweet when I was planning my wedding! When I went to meet with her the first time, I had no clue what I was really looking for or what was necessary. She helped me figure out what flower arrangements I would really need (to avoid looking too cheap) and which ones weren't really necessary. I really appreciated that because I didn't feel like she was taking advantage of me. She genuinely just wanted to help me get the best that I could, while staying inside my budget. Maria let me drop off my center pieces at her house a week before the wedding and delivered them to the reception for me. She even took the pieces back home with her afterwards and let me come pick them up a week later when we returned from our honeymoon. I would recommend Maria 120% to any bride out there. Aside from the fact that her flower arrangements were so perfect for my wedding, she's a mom and a grandmother and it really shows with how caring she is with her clients.

Maria played a big part in making our granddaughter’s wedding so special. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and my bouquet was just how I had imagined! Maria was very professional and easy to work with. The flowers really made all of our pictures perfect. Thank you, Maria!

I absolutely love Maria. She is a wonderful designer who is committed to making her clients happy. Her passion and creativity are contagious! She will go to great lengths to make things happen! Her interior design background has an amazing influence on her designs. I trusted her implicitly with my wedding and recommend her wholeheartedly to couples who want a floral designer who truly cares.

Maria did a wonderful job for our wedding! The flowers far exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail was superb and she added a lot of unexpected touches that made everything very special. All of our friends and guests raved about how beautiful the flowers were. Maria provided great service at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend!

Our flowers were amazing! Maria listened and exceeded our expectations on the flowers for our wedding! Our flowers were gorgeous and captured the look we wanted. Maria is talented, creative, and professional. No detail was overlooked. Thank you so much! I highly recommend!

Maria was an incredible florist! We were able to meet a couple of times before the wedding to go over our vision for an elegant winter wedding. She was able to put my thoughts to work and created centerpieces, bouquets, and little touches that went beyond anything I could have asked for. She also provided centerpiece candles and such that added to the tables. She was able to work with our budget and our ever-changing need for more / less boutineers and bouquets. Maria also helped us select our invitations and stationary needed for our wedding and thank you notes. She did an incredible job in providing samples for us and getting everything to us quickly. Maria was also a huge blessing on the day of our wedding. She had the flowers at the reception and at the church before I could even think to stress out about it. She does a great job with communicating with all other vendors to know what is allowed, when to be where, etc., which saves a busy bride a lot of energy. Maria was a joy to work with and I will forever be handing her name out to anyone and everyone that needs a florist for any occasion. :)

Loved Maria's floral design for my wedding! She pulled together exactly what I envisioned, and at a great price! She really understood what I wanted for my wedding, and I could not have been happier with what she created! So many people complimented how beautiful and FRESH the flowers looked and how cute the little decorations she added were. The best part was I didn't have to worry about a thing. She came and set it all up for me exactly how I wanted it on my special day so I could just relax and get ready.

As a wedding photographer I worked with many vendors. Maria is one of the best florists that I've ever worked with! Her work is always BEAUTIFUL, she always arrived early and completed her work earlier than what was planned. She is always approachable, take the time to understand what the clients want and did a great job every time!

Maria is an amazing designer! She designed the flowers for my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding ceremony and reception. She was very personable and listened attentively to all of their ideas. She took those ideas and turned them into a fairytale! Everyone commented on the flowers. Maria was like a second wedding planner with such great ideas!

Love Maria! She is so personable and wants everything to be perfect on your wedding day. Maria worked very hard to communicate with us and make our flowers look like the pictures we showed! She is very experienced and wants you to be happy!

Maria was one of the best investments I made into the wedding. She went above and beyond for our wedding, she provided beautiful floral and decoration for less than the cost of just florals with other vendors. She blew me away with the final product, my bouquet was “Pinterest” perfect. She was amazing, even gave me her daughters wedding timeline when I was struggling how to plan the day. I can not say enough about her work. Every detail with florals and decorations were perfect.
