Sapphire and Lace Event Design

lust Weddings and Events, LLC sent us Sapphire and Lace Event Design's website and Instagram page and just one look at their work and I was hooked. Our last meeting before the big day was with Julie and I'll never forget - Greg had walked out to take a phone call and Julie vocalized not loving the floor layout. Ali crinkled up the paper and Julie helped us re-designed the layout, giggling hysterically when Greg walked back in to the 4 of us looking mischievous! Fast forward to the big day (September 17, 2022) and Julie and her team delivered BIG, DARK, MOODY, DRAMA. All of it. The stunner of the night was the floral hoop suspended over our dance floor - still, everyone talks about how absolutely incredible it was. The flowers were everything I wanted and so much more. Our reception space had all the curtains drawn so no one could see it until the unveiling at 6PM. Greg and I were let in for a sneak peak and I remember taking my hands down from my eyes and my jaw dropped and I cried. It was every part of my vision/dream and I loved every aspect of it. Julie and Bethany and team - THANK YOU. I had a big ask of the dark, moody and over-the-top and you delivered in a way that makes me teary eyed to think of. We were so honored to have you in charge of the part that was the most important to me and it couldn't have been more perfect if I tried. The memories and the pictures of the flowers are something I will cherish and tell stories about for the rest of my life.

r creativity, kindness and responsiveness- highly recommend!!

r and reception not only stunning, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our guests (and of course us). S&L created a beautiful entry to our venue, a gorgeous aisle for the ceremony, enhancements to our bar display, and quite honestly the most perfect centerpieces... sure we're biased, but it was really a sight to behold. If S&L is available for your function, BOOK THEM.

of understanding and accommodating. They held another meeting with us to review our plan that we had made a year prior at a different venue and were patient with all of our last minute changes (some of which were pretty significant, including 2 large hanging floral chandeliers!). They understood our vision and provided their opinion when asked which was so helpful as an indecisive bride! Our flowers were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the number 1 compliment we received at our wedding. They were stunning and I even teared up at my bouquet! Everything was just perfect and I couldn't imagine prettier or more perfect flowers. They really took our new venue to the next level. Bethany and Julie also took care of the set up and tear down, which was one less thing for us to worry about! We can't thank Bethany and Julie enough and would highly recommend them for your wedding or other events! Our flowers were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the number 1 compliment we received at our wedding. They were stunning and I even teared up at my bridal bouquet! Everything was just perfect and I couldn't imagine prettier or more perfect flowers. They look care of the set up and tear down, too which was one less thing for us to worry about! We can't thank Bethany and Julie enough and would highly recommend them for your wedding or other events!

o changes in guests, and our room design. We even had an opportunity to see our centerpieces in our venue a month prior to our wedding, to ensure everything was how we envisioned it. After the ceremony, they noticed my husband's flower was looking a little wilted from the heat and they replaced it, along with refreshing our centerpiece flowers and our archway. I still can not believe how beautiful the flowers were on our day. I would highly recommend them to any couple!

erything from the huge centerpieces to the boutonnieres and corsages were made beautifully just the way we wanted. Julie also was super helpful during the entire wedding planning process. Many of our meetings were held on Zoom because we were planning long-distance during COVID. I still felt like I was getting detailed, amazing service from far away and when I saw the flowers on the wedding day I was not disappointed. I would recommend Sapphire and Lace to anyone!

We worked closely with Bethany who immediately understood our vision when we first met her at their (super cute) cottage. She took everything we said and came up with a wonderful proposal, complete with the beautiful floral arrangements, as well as the accompanying decor that we were able to rent. She then took the time to meet with us at the venue for a walk-through and brought florals and centerpieces so we could see it all come together before the big day. On the day of, I was blown away with the final product. The team was even able to repurpose several arrangements in different locations as we progressed from ceremony to reception. The team worked seamlessly to set-up and tear-down. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering.

he floral vision we had imagined, and they combined experience, seasonal knowledge, and pinterest boards chalk-full of great ideas. As pandemic restrictions forced us to continually move our date throughout the year, they did the legwork to figure out how they could stay true to our vision while still using fresh, in-season florals. When our event finished its metamorphosis from continued pandemic precautions, they helped us to maximize our budget in a safe, appealing arrangement at our venue. The speedy and flexible set-up and teardown crew was an excellent help in ensuring everything went smoothly on the big day; they even stuck around to repurpose flowers from the ceremony to enhance the reception. Their wearable flowers and greenery were excellent additions to the wedding party, especially the floral collar garland they made for our ring-pup! Our florals were so beautiful that we will be preserving them in resin as forever keepsakes of our special day.

d Lace will take your wedding to the next level. I have seen them create wedding magic, from Megan Markle inspired florals to blooms bursting with color, they can take your vision and run with it. Not only are they amazing florists, but this duo is just a total pleasure to work with, they clearly LOVE what they do and they are AMAZING. Anytime one of my clients tells me they hired Sapphire and Lace, I do an actual happy dance at my desk because I know their day will be EXTRA beautiful.

WONDERFUL. She made my venue and ceremony look GORGEOUS! it was actually unreal. A lot of tears when we saw the venue for the first time. thank you for everything you all did, and I highly recommend them!!!!

nter pieces were absolutely stunning. Absolutely must recommend for any bride who wants beautiful real flowers that are set up and taken down for her without stress or worry.

t for a walk through of the venue and to see samples I knew they totally understood the direction we wanted to go and fully trusted we would love what they came up with for our wedding day! Julie and Bethany not only created beautiful arrangements but they are also just so kind and fun to work with. They pay special attention to all the little details and it makes working with them such a good experience. We also had them provide candles, linens, and the arch for our ceremony - everything looked so nice and I was so happy to see everything come together that day! They go above and beyond (even saving me with a spare key when I accidentally locked my bouquet in my room right before the ceremony!) and I would HIGHLY recommend working with them!!

e also adding in the most beautiful feminine touches to make such a unique and gorgeous event. When I was walking down the aisle and saw the arch they created, I about cried it was so pretty. The care and talent that goes into Sapphire and Lace's work shows in the stunning results. All of the guests were raving about how beautiful the flowers were - I would recommend Sapphire and Lace to anybody who is planning a wedding!

what they do! They truly have a knack for creating the most beautiful floral arrangements. We had the most gorgeous altar flowers! I sent in some pictures and ideas of what my husband and I were looking for in terms of bouquets and centerpieces. I received a very detailed outline of recommendations and thoughts to go with the romantic vibe I was trying to portray. We agreed on three different types of centerpieces to encourage variety in the ballroom venue. Julie and Bethany were always willing to offer help whether it be suggestions of linen colors, chair covers, etc. They showed up as scheduled for set up and we were able to do our own tear down as long as all vases were returned. I would recommend Sapphire and Lace to anyone! We received numerous compliments and are VERY pleased with their work!!

s were absolutely stunning. I was more than pleased. I wanted a very soft elegant look and they did just that and more. I received many comments about how gorgeous my florals were at our wedding. I knew my florals would be beautiful, but I never expected them to be as amazing as they were. My bouquet was everything. They incorporated every flower I wanted and made it a statement like I wanted. Julie and Bethany paid attention to every detail and made my floral dreams come true. I cannot thank them enough!

ide from bouquets and centerpieces, we also had them create a "floral cascade" for the Mary statue at our ceremony- it was absolutely gorgeous, more than I could have ever thought it would be. They truly came through with creating the atmosphere for the big day. We received many compliments on our flowers- I was able to tell them what kind of colors I was envisioning, and they showed me all the possibilities for our wedding on July 27, 2019. They also were incredibly patient with all the last minute questions we seemed to throw at them, and we're so thankful. We loved working with them, and hopefully can't wait to work with them in the future!

h and will bring your wedding pinterest board to life. They are extremely dedicated and passionate about making their clients wedding dreams come true. They truly exceeded my expectations! I lived in Florida and was getting married in Pittsburgh, so I had to do a lot of email and phone communication with them. Bethany was so professional and extremely prompt with her correspondences. We had our initial meeting over the phone and I had sent them inspiration pictures of what I was hoping for. Based off of pictures, Bethany was able to get an idea of what I was looking for as well as add some input as to other colors and greenery that would work well with the color scheme. I was a tad clueless when it came to the flower arrangements, so Bethany’s input was so extremely helpful. After our first phone call meeting, they had sent me a personalized vision board of my wedding flowers and the flowers they would use. A month before the wedding I had met Bethany at my venue as a walk through for my flowers and décor and I wanted to cry tears of happiness – she made everything I wanted come to life from just a few pictures and some phone calls. My bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning and I could not have asked for a more beautiful bouquet. The wedding party/parents bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful and the perfect size. Let’s not forget about the stunning center pieces – so many people took them home and they lasted for almost 2 weeks! Lastly, I asked for a gorgeous lush garland with stemmed votives topped with floating candles for our sweetheart table, and oh did they deliver!! It was such a gorgeous and romantic table! Also, the Bethany picked the perfect fresh flowers for our wedding cake. We rented votive candles for the tables and some stemmed votive floating candles for the escort card table and guestbook/gift table. Everyone was in awe of how beautiful the flower arrangements were and how creative all the details were. I HIGHLY recommend Sapphire & Lace to anyone for your wedding or special event needs! ☺

do! I was able to share what I was looking for generally and they put it all together. The flowers for my wedding were beautiful. I loved working with Sapphire and Lace!

super dedicated, uber creative, and PASSIONATE about making their clients' dreams come true, but they so exceeded my expectations. I gave Bethany + Julie very little detail on what I wanted, just some photos and very high-level description (I was not a super detail oriented Bride), and they created a stunning environment, better than anything I could have envisioned!! The gorgeous lush greenery and white textured florals were fantastic. They were so efficient at putting our budget against the pieces that would really "WOW" and make a moment + memory. Bethany + Julie are true PROs. They can work with any vendors in any space, all while remaining cool, calm, and collected. They are among the most passionate and kind people that I know. In my opinion, this is one of the most special and important parts of Sapphire and Lace. They truly love what they do and have a real connection with their clients. This review was very challenging for me to write because I just can't articulate how amazing they are!! Book Sapphire + Lace!! :-)

rom the first consultation. I had very little floral knowledge going into the meeting, and Julie was so sweet and helpful explaining everything and making great recommendations based on what I was trying to describe. They also have so many different rental items to choose from and they show you so many options during your consultation to get an idea of what you love and what your style is. They then sent me a personalized vision board of my wedding florals and the flowers they would use. I can't tell you how beautiful everything turned out on the wedding day. I was obsessed with my bridal bouquet and wanted it to live forever!! You must choose these ladies as your wedding florist- you will NOT be disappointed!

eautiful and were even more amazing than I envisioned! Talented and such a pleasure to work with! Thank you again for all the beautiful florals!

e sweetest and easiest to work with. Took what we wanted and ran with it and the bouquets, boutinerre s and kissing balls turned out gorgeous. Absolutely perfect.

egree because they are so passionate, knowledgeable, and excited about what they are doing and it translates through their work. I wasn't entirely sure what my vision was, but they helped me walk through it and even created design boards for me to see it all in action! I also rented signs from them which were beautiful and the perfect touch. These two sisters are so patient and understanding and worked with me every step of the way through all of my additions and subtractions to our wedding and reassured every decision I made with positivity and happiness. Our wedding day was STUNNING to say the least and everything Julie and Bethany worked on was romantic and elegant while still being vibrant, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Our bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful and the perfect size and our centerpieces were immaculate and lasted the following week as many people took them home. They also crafted the long greenery runners of my dreams and helped me find ways to repurpose the flowers from the ceremony to the reception so it was as beautiful as possible. If you're still reading this- do yourself a favor and call them asap! You won't regret it!! :)

did they run with it and BLOW MY FREAKING MIND!! If you are on the fence between a few florists, don't walk, RUN to your computer or phone and contact these two ladies.

tion. They took our color choices and punched them up to arrangements that we never would have thought of. We had guest after guest asking who did our flowers. The wedding party's bouquets and boutonnieres were beautiful but the way they added floral touches to the barn, including lanterns, a bar sign and adding greenery to our rustic chandeliers was what really put it over the top! I loved that they were also amenable to using my ironstone collection, and other items as vases. It was icing on the cake that they are such sweet, positive young ladies! They were a delight to work with!

The only thing was my girls bouquets were a bit smaller than I had imagined. But they were so accommodating for all my requests and were so easy to work with!!! Worth every penny!

t as well in the heat. Also, I ordered petals for my flower girl that were not delivered (luckily my venue had fake petals) and my maid of honor bouquet was not larger than the bridesmaids as requested (and I also paid more for). My bouquet also lost many petals during the ceremony and had to be rearranged for pictures so it would not be noticed. I'm a pretty understanding person, but these were bummers on my wedding day.

worth the money!!

attentive. They were able to take my inspiration boards from Pinterest, come up with designs and signature flowers, and eventually nailed my wedding day vision. 10/10 would totally recommend!

ing and added extra touches far beyond what we expected!

or to my wedding. after a last minute change from pick up to delivery the flowers were everything i imagined.They were beautiful and cost effective.

oard to life! No, seriously. Let me explain. I came across Sapphire and Lace’s floral design on Facebook and after digging deeper, noticed that they offer so much more than florals and style weddings from top to bottom. From outdoor wedding arches, wedding table garland, wedding sweetheart tables, fabric draping, hand-lettered wooden signs, printed program bags, calligraphy place cards, you name it – they can execute it. We met with Sapphire and Lace for our first consultation about a year and half prior to our big day. Over cups of peppermint tea, we talked through the look and feel we were going for. I always dreamed of having a romantic vineyard wedding – one with big white tents lined with twinkle lights but getting married in Pittsburgh, PA left limited options. A few days after our first meeting, I received a text directly from Bethany stating that she found the perfect space for us – the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. This initial meeting was just the beginning of the amazing relationship we had with Bethany and Julie throughout the wedding planning process. Their ability to calm the most anxious bride is uncanny, and their attention to detail and to our particular wants and needs is truly unmatched. They not only made my fiancé and I feel so special (when we knew they were working with tons of couples at the same time), they also made our families feel looped in on the process. They took our ideas and ran with them, suggesting burlap table linens, metal table numbers, dinner menus written on large gold mirrors… all ideas that we could only dream of but had no idea how to execute. They arranged all of our rentals, from a velvet sofa set, a wooden dresser for wedding programs, a coffee table made of stacked antique suitcases, and vintage dishes for our Pittsburgh cookie table, and more! They also worked with each of vendors (and we had 6!) to make sure everything and everyone was aligned. Oh, and the wedding flowers! My bridal bouquet was simply enchanting – complete with over ten different types of flowers from roses to dahlias. It was full of texture and color. Then, on the long farmhouse tables, they positioned flowers in different levels using glass vases of all shapes and sizes. These vases were then positioned between votive and long-stemmed candles – creating the most romantic wedding tablescape that guests are still raving about. I guess you’re wondering… price. All I can say, WORTH EVERY PENNY. We spent a bit more than the average couple on wedding décor given it was one of our “must-haves” but Sapphire and Lace not only came in on budget but gave us SO much more for our dollar than we could get with anyone else. The ladies at Sapphire and Lace are on the verge of greatness and I feel so fortunate that we were able to use their wedding styling services before they’ll be booked up by a-list celebrities. Come 2020, I would put money that they will have their own show on HGTV. Joanna Gaines meets bridal… Cherish this sister team! They are one-of-a kind and the type of people that you will want next to you on your wedding day. Thank you Sapphire and Lace for everything – you captured our love and were able to showcase our personalities through your incredible work. We wish you all the success in the world.

due to rain they had to repurpose them in our tent. We were so beyond happy with the results, and so thankful that they were there and took the time to rearrange use the flowers so beautifully even with the bad weather. They also made our sweetheart table runner, and it was GORGEOUS! We were also so happy with the wrist corsages they created that made all of the ladies in our life feel so special. These ladies are so talented, professional, and so much fun to work with...I recommend Sapphire and Lace to all future couples getting married!!

don't know much about flowers. After showing some inspiration photos to Julie & Bethany they understood exactly what I was looking for! They are such lovely people and very attentive, answering emails promptly and always available with suggestions or other ideas. We rented votive candles and a few signs from them as well, and everything was absolutely stunning!! I asked for a floral arch for our ceremony space, and they DELIVERED, giving me the most beautiful arch for our ceremony I've ever seen. And I can't say how much I loved my bouquet...they created such a beautiful mix of colors and textures in mine that I couldn't stop staring at it. All of our guests were complimenting the flowers all night, and there were many photos under that arch during our reception. If your looking for exceptional flowers from kind and amazing women, look no further. You'll have the most beautiful wedding in town!

and how they can pull the whole day together! I knew that I wanted peonies, but I kind of the left the rest of the vision up to the ladies over at S&L and our flowers turned out beautifully. I particularly loved the corsages that they did for the groomsmen, as well as the greenery that they included in my bridesmaid’s bouquets and centerpieces. Thank you, S&L, for making wedding flowers easy and beautiful on my big day!

ll how much they care with each flower they placed!

reat to work with a get back to you in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend them!

eat ideas to help us determine what we did want. The flowers and vintage centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous. We would absolutely choose Sapphire and Lace again if we had the choice!

cheme in her head, including dahlias and succulents, and they were able to execute it perfectly. The boutonnieres and corsages were made with little succulents and flowers that we had never seen before--so different and elegant! The flower arrangements at the reception knocked everyone's socks off! We chose long, continuous swags of greenery with dahlias, rununculus (sp?) roses, and other bright summer flowers to decorate long tables that connected. The swags were stunning. People were telling us how gorgeous the flowers were all night. Bethany and Julie were also great to work with. When our guest numbers changed, which meant fewer tables, they were able to use our credits for other flowers, including extra corsages for readers in the ceremony. They were extremely flexible. We would recommend them highly.

nd kind and overall easy to work with. We definitely recommend them!

d they understood the vintage look I was seeking. Their additional decor I rented were milk vases and they were stunning. The girls were responsive and professional. I could not decorate the venue with my personal crafts (not the flowers or rented decor) but S&L were very accomodating and for a very reasonable additional fee they set it up wonderfully. I can't say how much I appreciated the effort. After the consultation in the beginning they also emailed an inspirational board similar to Pintrest with the floral choices. It was breathtaking to see it come together at the wedding!

terest. I appreciated their professionalism and ability to capture a look and feel that I could imagine but barely describe!! The end product was absolutely perfect... wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you Bethany and Julie!

m, welcoming, and were willing to work with our budget and did an amazing job. The center pieces fit what I had in mind perfectly. A little over a month before the wedding we worked with them to add a backdrop to the ceremony and it really made an impact on the atmosphere. They created a huge hang behind our ceremony, stunning. I also always dreamed of wearing a flower crown at my wedding but since that wouldn't have really gone with my dress, they made a beautiful flower comb for above my veil. These women are truly so talented and a pure joy to work with and I recommend them for anyone!

ss anything! Would HIGHLY recommend them!!
