I could not have been happier with the work Petal's Edge did for our wedding. They were so easy to work with, unparalleled creativity. Highly recommend.
Petal's Edge was so amazing, I wish I could do it all over again. From the initial consultation, where Gerry easily soothed all of my insecurities and concerns, to the sample arrangement to the actual day... I never knew this could be so exciting and easy all at once. Gerry and her team are true artists, and master technicians as well. I'll never forget peeking at the room flip as it was underway and seeing the flurry of activity and how quickly and flawlessly everything was put into place. Impressed doesn't do it justice. My fiance had his doubts about what we were spending on, but I'll never forget how afterwards, he said, "Gerry was so right. This made a difference." Our wedding is still the talk of our friends and family.
Gerry and her team at Petal's Edge were simply amazing! From the very beginning, it was easy and enjoyable. She took our very fuzzy ideas and helped us make decisions that were both beautiful and practical. The design was so authentic to us, and yet better than we ever envisioned! They did such a good job with making our DC wedding come to life.
Gerry and her team at Petal's Edge created a day for us that was BEYOND stunning. I truly appreciate a company that is so willing to go above and beyond to ensure their couples vision is their own - and this Petal's Edge does incredibly well. I never felt my voice was lost, but it as enhanced. They were so accommodating and helpful with the design process. We arranged for all of flowers and rentals through Petal's Edge, which was so helpful when planning a wedding that includes so many details. I can’t say enough about their professionalism, exceptional knowledge, prompt communication, and hospitality. Petal's Edge will always be tops on our list for event planning!
Magical. Ethereal. Breathtaking. Gerry and her team transformed District Wintery into a magical winter wonderland. Our theme was icy blue winter and the flowers, ceiling and stairwell installation were on point!
Wow. Just... WOW!! Petal's Edge has been a dream to work with from Day 1, and it is hard to put into words just how grateful we are. Gerry read our minds and put into a design the vague words we used to describe what we wanted. Following our consultation, we wrote an incredible proposal that was what we wanted, exactly to a T. When I asked about incorporating Origami cranes into the décor, she designed this amazing ceremony piece that combined the paper cranes into our ceremony arch in a way that can only be described as an art installation. It was truly one of my favorite elements. Their talent and imagination are so evident. Gerry was also extremely responsive to all of my questions throughout the planning process. She sees the big picture in the most perfect way, and her advice was always spot on. I loved all of our flowers, from our bouquets to the centerpieces. Truly our vision come to life! I highly recommend Petal's Edge to anyone getting married or wants their flowers to take there wedding just beyond.
Gerry and her team were fantastic to work with from the very beginning of our wedding planning process! Gerry captured the exact feel and look that we wanted for our big day, and guests were in awe of her arrangements! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and even when there was a last minute hiccup with the layout of the floor plan Gerry was flexible and worked quickly to pivot and deliver a new design that I loved. I look forward to working with her on future projects!
We hired Petal's Edge for our October wedding at the Hotel Monaco. I LOVED working with Gerry. Petal's Edge was the first florist I met with, and I hired them immediately. Gerry is made me feel at ease with planning and is so knowledgable and accommodating. She worked with me through several changes to budget, vases and flowers, all while making the process exceedingly painless. Our flowers on the wedding day were stunning and exactly what I had hoped! Now I need another reason to hire them again!
First of all, I live in Boston, MA, and only spent one day in DC to plan our special day. From that day on, despite the distance, I felt completely confident that I was in the most capable and caring hands.
Gerry has an incredible sense of style and vision for one-of a kind elegance and stylish decor. I was amazed! EVERYTHING was beautiful! They even built a custom escort wall for the wedding and band front.
The linen suggestions and flowers, as well as other details, lent the most sophisticated aura to our spring garden party.
I cannot recommend the team at Petal's Edge enough! From the very first meeting, I felt like Gerry understood our vision for the wedding. And yet she took our ideas and enhanced them without changing them. They were helpful, practical, and supportive throughout the entire process, and we would couldn't have been happier with the results. Highlights include a gorgeous arch for the ceremony and the most stunning reception decor. We especially loved how the chuppah flowers became a beautiful element for our sweetheart table. Having an amazing florist and decor team was very important to us, and Petal's Edge knocked it out of the park!
You will not regret working with Gerry and her team at Petal's Edge! I started the design process with a color scheme and a few ideas, but Petal's Edge elevated those ideas without changing their essence in ways I could not have imagined.
We worked with Petal's Edge for our September wedding. I wanted to fully embrace the season and all of the colors, but make it modern and something that guests would talk about long after the wedding day. For our ceremony in the round, they designed an incredible suspended piece. I teared up when I walked into the space.
For the room flip, the ceremony piece remained over the dance floor while the tables had a mix of long and round designs. Their professionalism is outstanding, and they will go above and beyond. They made me feel my wedding was the most important event they had ever worked on.
There is no one else I would rather have worked with to make my perfect day come to life! Thank you to everyone at Petal's Edge!
Choosing Petal's Edge was one of the best choices we made for our wedding in October of 2023. Gerry was an incredible partner in bringing our vision for a modern fall / moody pumpkin vibe to life. Gerry and her team brought ideas to the table that we had not even considered. They even painstakingly hung a custom neon sign absolutely perfectly. If you're looking for the best of the best wedding design team in the Washington, DC area, look no further! They are amazing.
Gerry and her staff at Petal's Edge Floral Design exceeded our expectations. We had STUNNING flowers and stress-free service for our fall DC wedding. Gerry is easy to deal with and very responsive. Highly recommend this company! Her calm patience dealing with ever changing and multiple bridesmaid dress colors and her ability, on short notice, to come up with a well thought out and exquisit floral design that tied it all together was especially appreciated. Wonderful attention to detail.
Gerry and her team are absolutely amazing! Professional, responsive, knowledgeable and stunning work! My wife and I planned our wedding ourselves and we had so many one-off questions and Gerry answered all of them thoroughly, thoughtfully, and promptly. Amongst all the planning chaos, she put us at ease! We truly can’t thank her enough for her expertise and for making our wedding day so beautiful!
Petal's Edge is amazing. Gerry and her team were incredibly kind and help in working with us to find the right set up that matched our vision for our wedding. She had great recommendations for flowers, greenery, and the urns/lanterns to go along with it. Highly recommend.
We feel so fortunate to have hired Gerry Rogers and her Petals Edge team. From first interaction to last, she understood our vision, applied her high standards and taste to it, and executed with perfection. From the Welcome Sign garlands to the gorgeous arch and enormous aisle arrangements for the ceremony (later moved to provide stunning backdrops to dance floor pictures), to the perfect bouquets, boutonnieres, and floral cuffs, to the breathtaking head table raised and lower arrangements, to the brilliant 3 different guest table arrangements, to the phenomenal, EXACTLY as we envisioned, table card display, to the lovely gift table arrangement, guests were raving from beginning to end and still are. Each display took our ideas and went over and above what we could have envisioned.
Gerry's passion and commitment, excellent guidance and advice, and highest quality and standards make her top of the top. Highly recommend.
Where to even begin! I hired Petal's Edge for my DC winter wedding, and they went beyond what I could have even imagined. I worked with Gerry, and she was the kindest and genuinely talented person ever! I feel fortunate to have secured Petal's Edge and their team bring my wedding to life. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat just to work with the best in the business again!!! The next time you need floral/decor for any event or wedding seriously hire Petal's Edge! You will not be disappointed.
Gerry and the entire staff at Petal's Edge created a day for us that was beyond stunning. They went above and beyond to ensure our vision was realized, and were accommodating and professional throughout the entire process. I can’t say enough about their exceptional knowledge, professionalism, prompt communication, and hospitality. Highly recommend.
Petal's Edge was, in one word, INCREDIBLE for my spring DC wedding! Gerry worked closely with me to create a design that was absolutely gorgeous and spent considerable time on the phone walking me through possible design ideas, flowers, and where we could reuse flowers. I also did a complete re-work of the color scheme about 3-4 months out which Gerry handled like a pro. I really appreciated that Gerry tried to keep our budget in mind and suggested cost saving strategies throughout the process. I felt like I could really trust her expertise throughout the process and felt confident the arrangements would be beautiful going into the day. When the day came, I was completely floored with how gorgeous my bouquet was. She truly brought my vision to life where I asked for specific things (like a touch of blue, for example) and also used her amazing artistic talent to bring together amazing flower combinations. I also did not have a wedding planner (but did have a day-of coordinator) and she was really wonderful to work with directly and super responsive. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Gerry and Petal's Edge!
Petal's Edge designed the most beautiful, perfect flowers for our wedding! The bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful and the tall pieces were exactly what I was envisioning - it's as if Gerry read my mind. Petal's Edge will come highly recommended by me and everyone who attended our wedding.
y was a pleasure to work with. I wanted a chinoiserie themed wedding and Gerry immediately understood my vision once I showed her a few inspiration pictures. Gerry provided her professional input on the floral arrangements to ensure that the flowers were timeless and elegant, which I greatly appreciated. Gerry also respected my budget and provided suggestions on how to say close to my budget.
I had postponed my wedding twice due to Covid, and Gerry remained extremely professional and flexible throughout the whole process. There were some minor last-minute changes during the weeks leading up to the wedding, and Gerry was very understanding. The flower arrangements were stunning and even prettier than I imagined! Our guests thought the flowers were beautiful and some even took the flowers home! I highly recommend Petal’s Edge!
Had a wonderful, wonderful experience with Gerry. They were so professional and the flowers for both the ceremony and reception were gorgeous. The only vendor I used who I didn’t feel the need to check in with the day-of. Would highly recommend.
Petal's Edge was the first vendor we hired for our wedding and we are SO glad we did. Gerry (the owner) seamlessly moved venues and dates with us. Throughout the whole process Gerry was incredibly responsive, kind, and knowledgeable. My husband and I are not exactly creative, but Gerry got our vision immediately and turned our venue into something we could have never imagined in our wildest dreams. Working with Gerry was an absolute pleasure and her work is beautiful!
From the moment we met Petal's Edge, we were blown away by their attention to detail, their calmness and most of all their professionalism. Throughout the planning process, they were responsive to our concerns, were able to accommodate my changes as the wedding date grew close. We were utterly speechless when we walked into the reception. What I had visualized had not only come true, but was better than I had ever imagined. It was absolute perfection.
We had a microwedding/elopement this past weekend and Gerry did my bridal bouquet and a boutonnière. She was super responsive to my initial inquiry and worked with me to create a bouquet I loved. Communication was clear, she was super friendly and easy to work with and I LOVED my flowers. I even saw a little sneak peek on instagram the night before so I knew exactly what to expect the next morning. Highly recommend. The flowers are still looking gorgeous several days later.
We were just reorganizing our wedding photos and I noticed the floral arrangements. We were so lucky to have chosen Petals Edge. Their team were responsive throughout, offered great suggestions, and kept on budget. Believe the positive ratings. You won’t be disappointed.
We booked Petal's Edge in 2019 for our planned April 2020 wedding. I had one or two reference photos of an aesthetic that I really liked, but no real solid sense of what I wanted aside from that. After our initial consultation, Gerry put together a proposal with whimsical wildflowers that really created a vision of our wedding that I was very excited about. Then 2020 came along, and we ended up postponing our April wedding until September. Throughout everything, we were always able to touch base and check in with Gerry as 2020 progressed, and the pandemic life kept going. When our postponed, pandemic wedding finally happened, our planned Spring flowers made our new Fall wedding so bright and colorful. The flowers were perfect, my bouquet was stunning, and I couldn't have been happier. Despite the craziness of this year, our smaller wedding provided us a reason to celebrate and at least see some (socially distanced) friends and family. I truly feel so lucky that we booked Petal's Edge for our wedding. All of the flowers for the ceremony and reception made everything just so beautiful, both on the day and in all of the wedding photos to look back on afterwards.
Gerry and her team created the most beautiful floral ring for our ceremony, and created some very unique and personal elements that truly distinguished our wedding We loved it all so very, very much. We were planning last minute and for a distance, and she was exceedingly responsive.
Petal's Edge did an incredible job on the floral arrangements for our wedding!! The bouquets were absolutely gorgeous, and the ceremony arrangements and reception centerpieces were stunning. We appreciated Gerry's flexibility most of all. Everything Petal's Edge did made our wedding feel incredibly special. The flowers exceeded even my wildest expectations and we are so glass we hired Petal's Edge for our wedding.
We can’t thank Gerry and her team enough for creating such a beautiful floral display for our wedding. We loved the elegant and timeless arrangements that surrounded us on our special day. Our guests loved the garland so much that many ended taking some home. Gerry really took the vision I had been dreaming of and turned it into reality!
Petal’s Edge made me the MOST beautiful floral hair comb I’ve ever seen for our 2020 COVID-elopement. We had to change a lot of our plans, but having this small touch made me feel very special and beautiful on our “little” day. I loved it so much that I dried and kept it. Thank you so much, Gerry!
Finding a florist was difficult for me until I spoke with Gerry Rogers. I had spoken with 5 other florists over the phone and when I spoke to Gerry I just felt immediately she was gonna be the one to help me make my venue beautiful and she EXCEEDED expectations. She wanted to meet me in person and I live 1.5 hours away and it was SO worth it for a first meet. I signed a contract the next day! She brought my vision to life and I felt her prices were excellent. Her flowers were fresh, bright, beautiful and lavish! she was very responsive over email and set up our venue with ease.
Petals Edge created absolutely beautiful floral centerpiece arrangements and bouquets/boutonnieres for our December wedding. They were more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined and truly contributed to the joy of the day. Petals Edge has our highest recommendation!
Cannot rave enough about Gerry and her team at Petal's Edge. From the very moment I emailed her an initial inquiry, asking if she had my date free, Gerry was incredibly responsive, helpful, insightful and informed. She educated me a lot (a rather indecisive bride!) during our initial consultation, and we really thoroughly discussed my vision and ideal style. Booked her within hours of that conversation, and loved every moment of working with her. Their pricing is reasonable (I spent more on flowers than any other element, aside from venue), and I feel I got every penny's worth! I loved being able to modify my flowers (design, coloring, amount, etc) right up until about two weeks ahead of the big day --- including entirely modifying my bridal bouquet! Gerry and team created the most unique ombre rose bouquet I've ever seen - so in love. I had 100% confidence in their work, set up, call times and pricing. She is transparent, and again - incredibly responsive. It's actually her responding too, from her iPhone, wherever she is in the world! You never get some generic, template response from Petal's Edge - just high quality, educated, engaged and passionate care! Thanks again, Gerry and team - you made my day incredible.
Gerry created gorgeous floral arrangements for my daughter's wedding. The bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, the table arrangements and arbor flowers were all just beautiful. She captured our vision perfectly, and we were so happy with everything. We can't thank Petals Edge enough.
Gerry made our wedding day so perfect! We hired Petal's Edge not only for flowers but also for day of coordination. All I can say is that it was everything and more than we imagined it would be, and it wouldn't have been possible without Petal's Edge. In particular, we provided an inspiration picture for the ceremony arch, but provided some direction for things we didn't like and wanted to change. Gerry walked us through what those changes would mean, how they might change the look, and gave other suggestions. We really felt guided and educated throughout the process. We really enjoyed working with Petal's Edge so much, and the team working with Gerry on the day of was so professional all around.
Gerri did an amazing job on our flowers and put thought into every detail. Our centerpieces were gorgeous and turned out exactly how we imagined. Beautiful all around!
The flowers for our wedding were absolutely gorgeous!
Wow - I would choose Petals' Edge Design a million times over.
Gerry was beyond exceptional to work with. I initially called Gerry as soon as I got engaged to set up an appointment and was nervous about the florals as I'm not a design expert and didn't want to spend $10K on a wedding planner to put together a design scheme.
Gerry took me off the ledge by reassuring me that I didn't need a "design scheme" and that our wedding venue (Top of the Town) needs very minimal decor as the venue has floor to ceiling windows and is the decor in it of itself.
I appreciated Gerry more than she'll ever know when we had that initial conversation. It was the thing I worried about most - not having a designer's eye and wanting the event to look "cohesive'.
When I met Gerry in person, it reinforced what I already knew. I wanted to work with her!
One of her many talents is being able to translate all of my buzz words: "classic", "chic", "elegant", "pop of color", "bridal", "sophisticated" into flowers and color palettes.
Gerry's proposal was flawlessly put together. She took all of my abstract concepts and put them together meticulously well.
Another thing that I appreciated immensely, was Gerry being amenable to my budget and not upselling/cross-selling at any point. At no point was she making me feel insecure for not having something.
She reminded me that a decade ago, people got married without wedding planners, and without an extravagant wedding budgets, and everything turned out just fine. When I asked her if I would be "remiss not to having something". She said that, "I don't *need* to have anything, but if I *want* to have it, she's happy to add. Her voice of reason was so calming and reassuring. A true professional.
I would re-hire Gerry and her team in an instant for any event. She's my wedding designer floral angel.
Gerry delivered a great set of arrangements that perfectly matched our vision and the space. We met with Gerry early on and conveyed our desires and she helped shape them with what was possible and in season (in terms of colors and flower types). The statement arrangement and bouquet really stood out as memorable.

I absolutely loved having Petals Edge do my wedding flowers. Gerry was very accommodating and was able to turn what I was picturing in my head and making it a reality (especially when I decided to change two of my wedding colors 4 months away from the wedding). I especially loved how she was able to incorporate shamrocks into every single floral arrangement, from the bouquets, to the boutonnieres, to the centerpieces. It really helped incorporate the "Irish elements" that we were going for, since our wedding was 6 days after St. Patrick's Day. If you're planning a wedding in the DC area, I highly recommend Petals Edge!!
Gerry was marvelous to work with! We scheduled an in-person meeting to go through all details of our vision for the day. She was very responsive to our ideas, but threw out helpful suggestions regarding price points and potential substitutions. I only brought in photo inspiration for the bridal bouquet and relayed every other idea verbally, but when I reviewed the contract proposal, it was so incredibly detailed and captured what we were looking for perfectly! From the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, to groomsmen boutonnieres, to the three proposed table designs, everything was spot on and we received so many compliments from our guests! Happy to recommend Petal's Edge to anyone!

We worked with Gerry at Petal's Edge for our wedding and are so pleased with the experience. I do not know anything about flowers and live in London, so Gerry was able to work with the pictures I sent her and understand the atmosphere I wanted to create. She also worked within my budget, providing great recommendations on what we could do within it and what may be less important. Gerry also provided candles for an elegant tablescape. With very little input from me, Gerry understood what I wanted and made everything look perfect on the day!
Gerry from Petal's Edge did a great job with our flowers and our vision. She hadn't even seen the bridesmaids' dresses but I explained our color scheme and the bouquets matched perfectly. I loved my Ivory Vendela rose bouquet as well, very beautifully done and it was so nice that she delivered them directly to us at the hotel. The centerpieces were beautiful as well and incorporated all I had wanted, it was helpful that we saw a sample beforehand and were able to tweak anything if we needed to. I would definitely recommend Petal's Edge, they were prompt in their responses to questions I had, and delivered a great product.
Gerry was absolutely great to work with. Even though I had the initial consultation with Rebecca, who is no longer with the company, Gerry seamlessly picked up right where she left off. I showed her photos of what I wanted based on their previous work and everything turned out great! When I met with her about requesting additional flowers, she suggested reusing the MOH bouquet and chair poises for those areas, which definitely saved me money!
She even delivered to three separate locations (for an additional fee, which I thought was worth it) on time and made sure to call beforehand. When she delivered my personal flowers she also helped add some photos of my deceased father to the bouquet. She transferred the florals from the ceremony site to the reception site, which again saved on purchasing additional floral arrangements, and set everything up in time before my guests arrived.
My only recommendation would be to make sure you send her a follow up email after meeting in person. I met with her at the end of July and thought everything was confirmed, but as I didn’t follow up in writing it wasn’t final. She accepted the few changes even though we were less than a month away from the wedding, which I was very grateful for!
I would definitely use her services again!
Gerry knows what she is doing. Just listen. I had one idea and when I received the flowers it was a little different than I expected (not much though). Now that I look at my photos I am so glad I went to Petal's Edge. The floral arrangements in the wedding party look amazing in the pictures, as if Gerry knew exactly what flowers and colors would look the best in that exact setting with my color scheme. It was truly beautiful work and very high quality. I have no regrets at all!
We love all of our flowers! Gerry and her team at Petal's Edge created the most gorgeous displays. Everything was so beautiful, and my bouquet really blew me away!
We were so thrilled with our beautiful flowers from Petal’s Edge for our wedding on 5/27/18. We had originally signed our contract with Rebecca of Petal’s Edge last fall and trusted her vision for our floral needs, so we were a bit nervous to learn she left the company a couple of months before our wedding. Gerry communicated with us to give us reassurance and sure enough everything was absolutely beautiful on the day of our wedding! I truly loved my bouquet!
Petals edge was exceedingly helpful. We wanted an unusually rustic look to pair with our colonial museum setting lanterns, but I’d chosen the least accommodating color for flowers in nature. Blue. Petals edge came up with dashing thistle dominant arrangements that complimented the blue and silver yet still went well our lanterns and even managed to provide decoration for our cake (we chose semi-naked cake style explicitly for incorporating the flowers!).
We could not be more pleased with how the arrangements turned out and in particular the pairing of silvered green-gray leaf/flowers with blue-purple hued thistle!! They did a wonderful job!!
Working with Gerry to design the florals for our wedding was so incredibly easy! We had an initial kick-off in-person meeting to discuss colors, flower types, and bouquet size etc. From there we exchanged a few emails up until the event to keep in touch and on the wedding day we were completely blown away by the stunning arrangements Gerry and her team put together. My bridal bouquet was better than I could have ever imagined and the centerpieces at our reception were lush and gorgeous. We are so happy we chose her for this special occasion and I will definitely be working with her again! Every bride needs a vendor who is this easy and straightforward to work with - not to mentioned extremely talented!
We were extremely happy with our flowers for our wedding day. The team at Petal's Edge was amazing to work with. They stayed within my budget, and truly captured my vision. Everything was coordinated appropriately and arrived on time. I would highly recommend this vendor. They truly made this process seamless!
We were so happy with the floral arrangements Petal’s Edge provided to us. I first met with Gerry with some basic colors in mind....and not much else. She asked some great questions to get to the heart of what we wanted. She was flexible with a number of small changes as our plans continued through the summer, and definitely worked within our budget to make a few suggestions of repurposing arrangements between the ceremony and reception.
We almost had one hiccup the day of, when I noticed my bouquet wasn’t wrapped in a piece of sentimental silk I’d provided to them. However, my coordinator called Gerry, and she returned before long with the silk, in order to rewrap the bouquet on the spot, still in time for our photos and the ceremony. It meant a lot that she made that happen for me.
I had a wonderful experience with Petal's Edge! I used them for all of our bouquets, ceremony and reception flowers and they turned out amazing! It met the vision I had for our decor and even more - modern, simple and elegant. I love looking at our photos and seeing how beautiful our flowers turned out. Many of our guests complimented us on how beautiful our wedding was and I know it was because of the flowers. I worked with Rebecca who is the nicest person. She was willing to stay within our budget but still gave me her honest opinions on what would work and look nicer. I also used her for day of coordination and I am so glad I did. She became involved the month prior to my wedding and organized all of my vendors and timeline. On the day of, she took care of all of the set up, making sure we were staying on our timeline and helped with the clean up after. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything all day and could really enjoy the time getting ready with my bridesmaids and enjoy the party during the reception. I would highly recommend hiring Petals Edge and their coordination services!
Petal's Edge did the flowers for every part of our wedding- from the bouquets and boutonnieres to the altar flowers at Holy Rosary Church and the reception flowers at Hotel Monaco. Rebecca was super easy to work with and gave honest opinions on what she thought would look good in the spaces. And they did! I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out- everything looked beautiful, arrived and was set up on-time, and the flowers lasted way longer than the wedding did- even the boutonnieres stayed fresh looking, which is no simple feat!
Overall my experience with Petal's Edge was very positive and the floral arrangements were beautiful! I had a very specific idea of what I wanted my arrangements to look like and Rebecca took the time to listen to me and come up with some great ideas. I was on a tight budget, so ultimately I opted to do my own table arrangements (we had a small wedding so it was doable), and Rebecca was very willing to make the changes to the initial quote she sent. With a very busy schedule, I did not have a lot of time to shop around so I may have been able to go somewhere that was slightly cheaper, but overall I was able to stay in my budget and was extremely happy with the bridal party flowers.
Rebecca from Petal's Edge not only took care of he flowers, but also the day of coordination. We had pretty much went in one afternoon and asked her to have alien plants that matched my tartan. This plus filling out a timetable was apparently enough to knock things out of the park! Rebecca was on top of things throughout the whole process and a pretty great person to boot. Each arrangement was spectacular, and since they were all plants our guests could take them home. You know they must have been pretty great if people were assigned guard duty, as the take home feature became quite competitive. The end of the night did not bring about a massive clean up effort as the lights turned on, but everything was already packed up and neatly boxed in the corner of our room and out of the way. Truly a great team to work with!
RimasFilms has recently filmed a magical wedding at the Willard Intercontinental, where the floral design was created by the Petal’s Edge Floral Design. I have met team myself, while they were getting everything ready for the big day. They were working hard and fast, very focused and organised. And the final result was spectacular! The Floral Design of the wedding, was just, what the wedding film needed, it helped to create the emotional mood. I highly recommend Petal’s Edge Floral Design!
I met with Rebecca to discuss my ideas, and she was spot on with the designs while working with my budget. The centerpieces were so beautiful (we used mostly greenery, and she managed to make them look just gorgeous), and she helped figure out some of the smaller details, like single peonies for our nieces. The swags that she created for the ceremony space were breathtaking, as were the bouquets.
Petal’s Edge put me on edge. Our wedding was great; the only thing I would do differently if I could go back would be to NOT hire Petal’s Edge (PE). I was planning from overseas and stupidly (in hindsight) put down a deposit based solely on portfolio and advice from my planner-- before having a call with Gerry. Had we had that call first, I would NOT have hired her. She was rude, condescending, and really unpleasant. I had pinned some photos of bouquets I liked and she spent most of the call telling me how ones I found to be similar, were, in fact, not similar. She could have said, “Oh it seems like you are drawn to X and Y, is that right?” But she didn’t, she was rude (made a crack about how I didn’t understand how gravity works) and did not provide any value added or professional input. She just kept saying “we can do whatever you want. It’s not up to me, it’s up to you!”
So with the burden of decisions put back on me, and without any professional guidance or creative input from Gerry, I was then left to spend HOURS finding the exact shape bouquet I wanted, the exact flowers, etc. Because I didn’t feel like she “got” what I liked and would do great things with flowers, I had to be prescriptive and clearly outline what I wanted.
Fast forward some time… After having assured me she could get “whatever I wanted” in terms of materials, twenty days before the wedding Gerry informed me and my planner that she was unable to source a major element of my centerpieces. This was disappointing in and of itself, but particularly frustrating that Gerry had never flagged this might be an issue or said like “I’ll have to confirm availability closer to the date”… no warning whatsoever which I think undermines her professionalism.
Lastly, in her revised quotation (once we knew number of tables etc.), the prices for the bouquets went up, after having assured us that flower choice would not impact the budget. She also jacked up delivery charges for seemingly no reason but at this point I found interacting with PE to be a negative distraction so I let it go. However, I found these price adjustments to be just additional instances of being misled and not treated well by Petal’s Edge. The flowers on the day turned out fine (two stars for that), but I had such negative feelings about Gerry and PE by the time of the wedding, I just couldn’t even feel excited about the flowers which, by the way, were not on the cheap end of the spectrum.
Caveat emptor on this one and DEFINITELY meet/call before placing a deposit. If you don’t like what Gerry is dishing out, walk away. I wish I had!
