Michele Ford Floral Design

with changing circumstances, headcount, etc. as we got closer to the wedding date. She was easy to get in touch with and went out of her way to make herself available to chat with us in our limited time availabilities.  And on the day of, her execution was seamless and flawless.  Flowers and boutonnières were delivered right on time, exactly when and where she said they would be.  Other weddings in the family had issues with florals, so Michele's reliability was incredibly reassuring.  As for the flowers themselves, they were a highlight of the wedding. Although we both love flowers, we did not come into this process with firm ideas of what our florals would look like. Michele somehow divined exactly what we wanted from our limited direction - beautiful, local, and seasonal flowers that took every aspect of our wedding to another level.  She, again seamlessly, was able to repurpose florals from ceremony to reception, minimizing waste but making everything beautiful. And she picked the perfect flowers for the bud vases on our already full reception tables, making the most of the limited space available.   All in all, Michele was top-notch as a vendor and as a florist. We recommend her 10000%.

on, so that we could remain cost conscious while still achieving the floral abundance I wanted. She is able to beautifully capture bride’s vision with her floral arrangements. I would highly her service for anyone having a wedding in Fairfield County!

professional, matched our vision exactly. She met us at the venue to go over things months out has such an eye for design when I felt overwhelmed. She went way above and beyond almost as close to a wedding planner to execute our vision. Boy did she nail it. She was so flexible with all my last minute changes and add ons. Our friends even sent us pictures days later with the flowers in their homes. I cannot thank her, praise her or recommend her enough.

ndor - amazing communication, calm presence, impressive ability to capture and execute the vision and impeccable attention to detail, not to mention so sweet and a dream of a person to be surrounded by leading up to and day of this milestone. I trusted Michele completely as I knew she had a strong handle on the vision, asked for input when she knew I'd care, and has a proven track record of impeccable execution. Walking into that room was like walking into my Pinterest board - she absolutely NAILED it and then some! She is kind, responsive, cost-transparent, and has an incredible eye for details. I'm so thrilled with the choice to use Michele Ford Floral Design for our wedding and only wish I had another occasion again soon so I could work with her again.

ound Michele to be very transparent and easy to work with. There were a few sentimental things I wanted incorporated into our florals, and Michele was so responsive and encouraging of those things. When we realized something wouldn’t work (for example, a flower I had in mind wasn’t in season), she immediately had other ideas and suggestions so that the sentiment wasn’t lost. She worked with me to plan a beautiful event that stayed within our budget. I had other florists tell me that the center pieces I wanted were “the most expensive” type of center piece out there to justify their high prices. When I told Michele about that, she was shocked and said that, actually, the center pieces I wanted are more cost effective than most. From that moment, I knew that Michele wasn’t a vendor who was going to charge us an arm and a leg just because it was a wedding, like so many vendors do. She was honest, transparent, and flexible throughout the entire planning process! And of course, our arrangements were absolutely stunning. We couldn’t be happier!

ing on Long Island in July 2024. I don't know much about flowers and I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted, so Michele took the time to truly understand my ideas/ likes/ dislikes. She brought my vision to life better than I could articulate, and I also appreciate that she helped me to get the most out of my budget. She was very transparent and so communicative throughout the entire planning process- from the beautiful detailed proposal she sent me in the beginning (so I knew exactly what to expect) to responding quickly to my emails, I was confident that Michelle had my florals under control and it was one less thing for me to worry about. I would recommend Michele 100 times over, and I hope to work with her again!

e last year. I spoke to quite a few different florists but Michele immediately stood out. We had the most extensive intro call where she ran through every possible detail, provided input on things I hadn’t even thought of yet, and then immediately followed up with examples and mood boards based on our discussion. It’s safe to say Michele and I immediately hit it off and from there on out it felt like working with a friend, not just a florist. Over the course of the year, Michele constantly checked in with us, sent us well wishes around the holidays, and truly acted as a sounding board whenever we needed help or had questions leading up to wedding day. Our walkthrough at the two month out mark helped really bring things together and she even accommodated some changes I wanted to make or things I wanted to add. The final proposal was so detailed that I had such a complete picture of what things were going to look like on our wedding (or so I thought). What ACTUALLY came to life on wedding day took my breath away…it was more gorgeous than I could have ever anticipated. Michele is an extremely strong communicator -always running ideas by me, asking for or confirming my preferences (EVEN on wedding day asking if I wanted my/my bridal parties bouquets cut shorter), sending me photos of tablescape mockups…the list goes on. Michele is a true professional, an extremely talented florist, and on top of all that- an incredible and kind hearted person. We are so fortunate to have had the chance to work with Michele during this monumental time in our lives and will look for ANY excuse to use her in the future as well🤍

ty and dedication were evident. She crafted a stunning arch that surpassed our expectations and adorned our venue with exquisite candles, adding a touch of enchantment. Michele's commitment to excellence was evident in every detail, and her keen eye for design transformed our vision into a masterpiece. Throughout the process, she consulted with us, ensuring that every arrangement aligned perfectly with our preferences. I wholeheartedly recommend Michele for anyone seeking a florist who not only listens but also brings unparalleled artistry to life. Her talent and passion for her craft truly set her apart. Our heartfelt thanks for making our special day even more magical.

was so easy to work with. I am still getting compliments on how beautiful the flowers were! Would highly, HIGHLY recommend!

married at Eolia Mansion and it was super important for me to find a floral designer that has worked there. They’re not vendor and DIY friendly with their strict rules. I had reached out to another Eolia bride graduate and she recommended Michele. I’m beyond grateful that the stars aligned. I started working with Michele well over a year in advance and my design changed a few times. Michele brainstormed with me to make sure we were on the same page and that I had the look I wanted. It went from boho chic to cottage core, and we decided on somewhere in between with coastal chic with a garden look. She was so organized! She made mood boards and power points. Two weeks before the wedding, she provided a beautiful detailed PowerPoint that included the name of exactly every flower and how she’ll design every piece. Everyone that I showed it to was so impressed. She bent over backwards to help me work with Eolia’s strict timeline, budgeting costs, and repurposing installations. Definitely not an easy task. She truly cares about you as a person and your budget. When I contracted with her, it was the height of the inflation uptick and she assured me that she won’t increase prices as long as I don’t have any specific flower request. I only had peony as a request and thank god they’re in season for my date. Now for the art. After telling Michele my earth tone color scheme and the general arch and bouquet design, I let her have full creative control. She did not disappoint! Everything was amazing! Especially the ceremony aisle and arch installations. The blooms she picked out were very high quality and specialty cut flowers. I received so many compliments. Even my own parents said they were mad that they couldn’t take pictures underneath the arch cause I dragged them away for family pictures right away 🤣. She decorated my cake and provided my dog flower collar without me asking! Everything she did was a Pinterest board. Pure perfection. I would recommend her 100x times over. Her pricing is more than fair and it’s not just pricing alone. It’s everything that you get from Michele. A genuine person that truly cares about you and your special day! I know I wrote this a few times already but I can’t stress it enough.

o the end of the Wedding night, Michele was there every step of the way to make sure that every detail was executed perfectly. To start, when I contacted Michele in the early stages of looking for florals, she put together a quote based off of pictures and ideas that I sent to her in no time at all! From there, we touched based several times throughout the entire wedding planning process, and she helped me tweak details, and create the floral vision that I was looking for. Michele is always communicative, professional, and extremely detailed when it comes down to the entire planning process, and the specifics of each and every single detail for your Wedding Day. Michele not only helped me with the flowers for my wedding, but helped me figure out the other details regarding cocktail signs, picture frames, and personal touches including flowers for my hair, a ladybug pin on my MOH's flowers, and a beautiful babies breath hair crown for my flower girl. Michele even went out of her way to meet my husband and me at the venue, and walk through the space so we could brainstorm ideas together. I cannot recommend Michele enough for any event - she will make sure that your vision comes to life, and go above and beyond to exceed your expectations, just like mine were!

th for our wedding. Michele understood my vision very early on. She was so communicative throughout the planning process which I sincerely appreciated. Once we did a walk through of the venue together, she had so many additional ideas and suggestions, and was genuinely as excited as I was for the event. Fast forward to wedding day, when I saw all the floral, I was BLOWN AWAY. It was literally exactly how I had envisioned it in my mind and Michele brought it to life. Michele truly cares about her clients and takes great pride in her work, which really shows and that is why I cannot recommend Michele enough!

eded. She is so pleasant to work with. She really listened to what we wanted and made our vision come to life. You can tell everything she does, she does with love, which makes such a big difference. She exceeded all expectations, without her our wedding wouldn’t have been half as beautiful as it was. Thank you Michele!

I could have ever imagined. Her creativity and attention to detail are unmatched. Not only was her eye for design superior – she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication was 10/10 and she is the type of key player you want on your team during the chaos of wedding planning. She delivered classic wedding florals with a modern twist. She has truly mastered her craft. One of my bridesmaids has booked her as well and has shared an equally positive experience. I truly cannot recommend Michele enough. Florals are such an important factor in the appearance of your big day and Michele is someone you can fully trust with that job!

en she'd be great!) From the beginning, Michele communicated every step of the way, showed me sample setup photos of greenery she thought would work for part of my vision and really made the airy, wildflower designs of my dreams! Over the course of our working together some product had increased in price (which is obviously out of her control). She notified me right away and offered beautiful, comparable options that remained within the budget she had already quoted me-allowing me to remain within my own budget which was was so appreciated. Her pricing was also shockingly reasonable in comparison to other quotes i received for the same requests. The amount of work and effort i saw her putting in day of (i know there was MUCH more work put in before she got there), she could be/should be charging so much more, but she's able to do beautiful work and remain attainable for brides. I could go on and on, but don't second guess working with Michele. She was my best vendor by far.

pulled everything together perfectly. We loved them, and they got so many compliments. Working with Michele was great from beginning to end. She was so easy to work with and communicated with us every step of the way. I also found her prices to be reasonable compared to other quotes that we had gotten. I highly recommend her!
