I could write a novel about Cheryl and the entire Parkway Florist team. Our wedding took place December 2020 after postponing it a few weeks and moving it to West Virginia after Pennsylvania's restrictions were too heavy to host our day.
We m...et with Cheryl 11 months before the wedding (pre-pandemic) so that I could share with her my floral vision. She made all of the right suggestions and knew right away just what I wanted. As things began changing over the summer because of covid-19, she changed right along with us and our plans.
We met with her once more in November to go over all of the details, timeline, etc. and we thought we had it all planned out, but covid had another plan. First, it was cutting 6 tables-worth of guests (and centerpieces) from our final count. Then, in the weeks leading up to the wedding, we had bridesmaids and groomsman drop out/come back on constantly-- my fiance and I were making almost DAILY calls to Cheryl. Not once did she get overwhelmed or exasperated with the changes.
Pandemic aside, their work is impeccable. I am an extremely visual, detail-oriented and flat out hard hard to please person who mapped out every little detail of our day. I gave Cheryl so many different photos of my "vision," each one containing a different detail that I wanted to incorporate into my bouquet, for example. One photo showing the size of the bouquet, another showing the shape, another with the color scheme and even another with the ribbon I wanted. She took each of these and created EXACTLY what I had visioned in my head. She made helpful suggestions in maximizing the space that we had to work with and gave her expert opinion on what looked best. We had a 10' piece over our head table that we thought we wanted to be placed in front of us on our head table. Cheryl suggested we move it behind us and drape the front of the table with flowers to avoid us having to peek around it for photos- and she was exactly right. The way she can look at a space and precisely visualize how it will look once her magic is added is truly just that- magic.
There are so many options out there to choose from but with the right team at the helm, you don't have to worry about the final outcome. Cheryl and her team WILL deliver to your expectation and keep your worries at bay, just as she did mine in the middle of one of what was most likely the hardest year ever to plan something like a wedding, or to plan anything, in general.
Trust me when I say, you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Cheryl and to the whole Parkway Florist team!!!!!!
