Wish I could give Melissa of Scores of Hellebores a 10! In my wedding planning journey I never dreamed I would have met such an incredible vendor and artist to create such beauty ...
for my wedding...my small intimate wedding. Melissa literally transformed a very simple space and event into something worthy of being showcased in a magazine! Everyone that sees the pictures from my wedding says these are a Pinterest junky's dream! I shared with her my vision and she ran with it to create an amazing environment! She even included little things I had overlooked like a gorgeous hair wreath for my daughters hair...which absolutely made her day and made her feel so special. Melissa is a kind, peaceful soul with an eye for beauty like no other! She is an true artist that uses nature as her brush. Thank you Melissa for making our day so incredibly special, I will forever be grateful for your love and blessings.
I have been planning entertainment events for the last ten years and have used almost every florist in town (and out of town as well). Flowers can be tricky - they have the ability...
to completely transform a room or an event, but not done well they can leave a lasting bad impression. When it came to my wedding, flowers were one of the only things I truly cared about getting right. I am a plant enthusiast and live for flowers. I was nervous to find a florist. I knew I did not want the traditional type, but was having a hard time articulating what I did want. Enter Melisa Saraceni of Scores of Hellebores. She came highly recommended by our planner. I was not familiar with her work as she is relatively new to LA. I took a look at her website and facebook page and was blown away. Her aesthetic was strong and the love and care of her floral arrangements were tangible. I met up with her for tea. She quietly listened to my wild rambling about the types of flowers I loved, the overall look of the wedding, the flowers I did not like, color choices, and my weird obsession with a pampas grass background etc. She was patient, kind, mellow and warm. I knew I wanted to work with her right away. Over the next few weeks, she emailed me pictures of floral magic she was experimenting with in her shop, pictures of the plant dyed ribbon she purchased (which somehow was the oxblood shade of my dreams) and different ideas using plants she has come across in her hikes. Each time I received an email I would scream in delight. I couldn't believe the love and thought she was putting into this. Somehow she got exactly what I was looking for during our tea date, but a thousand times better. Her creativity and care is hard to describe. You can tell she truly loves what she does and it translates into perfection. On my wedding day, I burst into tears when I saw what she had created. She transformed my outdoor Malibu wedding into a magic, lush, woodland fantasy. She built floral teepees for each table as centerpieces, which I had never seen done before. She transformed my corsages into stunning bracelets with gold cuffs. She took my husband's quirky taste and hate for boutonnieres and created the most amazing piece for his suit complete with berries that were such a vivid cobalt blue we thought she spray painted them (which she did not). We had never seen anything like it. The floral crowns she created were out of a painting. Lastly, the pampas grass background for our ceremony was so beautiful it is hard to describe in words. Speaking of words- it is difficult to try and describe the beauty she created. My flowers are still being talked about to this day and were hands down my favorite part of our wedding. She is a magician and one of the most talented people I have ever come across. She is going to blow up and I will sit back, smile and watch in awe and admiration of the complete and utter beauty she continues to create.
