Shelly's Designs Florist

- everything was perfect! I would recommend everyone to hire Shelly- she will impress!

eceived so many compliments on the beautiful flowers. We would highly recommend Shelly...she is an exceptional wedding florist and a wonderful person. Thank you so much for making our daughters dream a reality!

ther. She also did a great job re using our ceremony flowers in the reception space which I really appreciated. Shelly was absolutely wonderful to work with!

ayments, delivery, and rental return very simple as well. The in-person consult was especially helpful, but Shelly was also very responsive over email through more than one change-of-plans given the pandemic. Thank you Shelly!!

ndemic. We postponed our reception to 2021 but kept our ceremony date 10/10/2020. Since we live out of state and were unable to have a meeting in person for our postponed plans, I searched for inspirations and sent them to her for our ceremony on 10/10. On the day of my wedding I was in awe of how beautiful my bouquet was and was equally blown away by how perfectly she executed my vision into reality. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to work with her again shortly!

. Her pricing is very reasonable since she runs everything from her own shop. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were. The bridesmaids kept their bouquets and we all replanted the succulents. I can't comment enough on how great Shelly is.

t was everything I could have dreamed of and more. What I could not put into words, she put into designs. She took a few small ideas and RAN WITH IT. I cannot say enough kind things. Our wedding would not have the jaw-dropping impact it did without her. Thank you so much to you Shelly and your team.

our wedding venue at the High Five – it photographed beautifully! Shelly was so easy to work with throughout the process and always very quick to respond to any questions. She made me feel at ease from our initial consult and all the way leading up to our wedding day. I would 100% recommend Shelly to any bride in the GR area and beyond looking for a florist! She is truly incredible. Thank you for helping me to create my dream wedding!

zing in every way, and I echo all of the comments left in the 5 star reviews prior to this posting. This speaks volumes to her consistency and reliability. From wonderful and timely to vision-capturing and detail-oriented, Shelly blew me away. I had so much confidence with her understanding of and confirming my visions at our first meeting that I didn’t feel the need to meet immediately prior to the wedding day/week (and that’s tough for a controlling perfectionist, but she made it easy for me to let go and trust). Her communications by phone and email were thorough and she never missed a beat. I cannot stress enough how amazing she was - and I hate writing but I’m so so inspired to share this review with the world. Don’t bother with interviewing several florists for price estimates, or for a variety of supplies and rentals, or whatever it is that is most important to you. Shelly is competitively priced, professional, has a huge selection and everything you could ever want, and continues to sharpen her education and stay relevant in the ever-changing wedding/floral industry. She is on point! Thank you ever so much, Shelly!

installation of each piece. I can't recommend her enough! Her vision is amazing, and she can make any idea turn into a reality. All night long I was getting compliments on all the flower arrangements. You won't regret working with her!!

everything was amazing! Shelly really took the time to sit with us and discuss our vision for the day, she had ideas on types of flowers which was great because I know nothing about flowers. After our consultation and decision i changed my mind about a few things and Shelly was very flexible, even changing out invoice for some things that changed. She was very responsive and we were excited for the wedding. The day of the wedding the flowers were delivered perfectly on time and when they came to the room I was blown away! I saw the beautiful bouquet filled with flowers and succulents and all the colors I asked for, accompanied by the bridesmaids lanterns which were overflowing with lush greenery and colorful flowers in hues of purple as I had requested. Everyone was floored with the execution that Shelly accomplished! If that wasn't enough, the guys boutonnieres were perfect and I couldn't have asked for prettier centerpieces at the reception! Shelly was very flexible in the fact that I had purchased my own terrariums for the reception and i just wanted her to fill them with greenery and flowers, we dropped them off the week before the wedding and she delivered them all done perfectly to the reception space. Overall I would 100% recommend Shelly to anyone, her work is fantastic!!

we wanted and made it all happen and more! Throughout the whole process, she was extremely helpful in making design choices and guiding us as to what would give us the most bang for our buck. Reasonable prices for the high quality work and service Shelly provides. Highly recommend Shelly- she also did the florals for my bridal shower, which were perfect as well!

of! I have had Shelly recommend to me and would recommend her to anyone!

y wedding. She really listened to me even though I do not know much about flowers and created exactly what I wanted. I chose to go the untraditional route and instead of wearing a veil, Shelly made me the most beautiful floral hair piece. I got so many compliments on everything she created that day. 1000% recommend her to every bride out there

ily. I had an idea in my mind of how our flowers would turn out, but never in my wildest imagination did I expect the beauty Shelly gave us. Our bouquets were absolutely gorgeous, our centerpieces simply stunning (all understatements!!!). I was floored and my mother-in-law still is raving about the flowers weeks later. Shelly not only went beyond what I imagined for our wedding, but she's a wonderful person to work with. I never thought I'd have such an attachment to my wedding bouquet that I'm having the petals preserved as Christmas ornaments!

dding was three months ago and we still get compliments of how beautiful our flowers were. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.

erything turned out. Her pricing is competitive, her detail in every arrangement is beautiful and she can really do anything! Thank you Shelly.

area. Her work is absolutely stunning and she always over delivers your vision. She keeps an individual file for each of her brides, and puts your pictures that you send her in a folder just so she can capture your vision perfectly. She comes and sets up all of your flowers to make sure they look perfect, and she's the last one there at the end of the night breaking them down as well. She has a large array of great rentals as well from candles, flower stands, bracelets for corsages, etc. It made the process very effortless! I had guests begging me at the end of the night if they could take my beautiful arrangements home. I couldn't say "yes" fast enough! Thank you Shelly.

e. I remember walking into my Church ceremony and thinking how beautiful the flowers looked. I had this same thought when we saw our decorated reception venue for the first time. She was great to work with, professional, and added all the small touches that we wanted. Highly recommend!

process and she created absolutely stunning arrangements that aligned exactly to my vision. Our floral arrangements, bouquets and all of the floral touches were one of my favorite parts about our wedding day! Shelly is very educational, thorough and creative and works extremely hard to match her work to your vision. I would recommend Shelly to anyone looking for a 10/10 florist in the GR area! the Grand Rapids

could imagine. She’s a talented florist and she made everything perfect for my big day. I would recommend her a million times over.

or me after hearing me talk about different flowers and colors that I liked/ disliked. The day of she was flexible with the changing weather, worked great with our venue, and set up a beautiful floral array. Would HIGHLY recommend.

ed bouquets and arrangements with a pop of blush pink, I showed her a few pictures of what I was thinking and she exceeded by expectations, they were more beautiful than what I envisioned! They went so well withe the reception and really achieved the look we were hoping for! The flowers definitely made my dream wedding the fairytale that it was! Thank you so much Shelly for all of your hard work, you deserve way more than 5 stars!

ions. She pays close attention to detail, and responses very quickly via email and phone call. She offers payment plans and worked with my budget! I received so many compliments on my flowers. I would recommend her to anyone and would choose her again!

g turned out exactly the way we wanted! I would recommend her to anyone I know, she is very reliable and very affordable! She understands that each bride has a different budget in mind and she made sure that we stayed within that budget. I didn't have to worry about a thing when it came to my wedding day, I had total confidence in her work and she didn't disappoint! Thank you Shelly and to all of your hard working staff for helping to make our wedding day the most perfect day!

to work with and I was so beyond impressed to see my flowers all set up on our big day! For sure recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing florist! So so so happy I chose her!

elly was very helpful and made the process easy for us.

mail questions, is creative, and is such a skilled designer. For her winter wedding, my daughter, the bride, wanted to do the initial steps of putting her centerpieces together, with Shelly providing the fresh flowers on the wedding day. Shelly worked with her to advise her, and recommend more workable solutions to make the results the best they could be! She even used her own time to re-do some of the initial work in order for it to come out perfectly. Shelly is a true artist, and a dream to work with. The reception landscape looked breathtaking!

rned out to be gorgeous - everyone at the wedding commented on how pretty they were. She is very kind and helpful and accommodating as well. I would recommend her to any bride, any day.

for me of a bouquet she thought I would like - it was perfect. She listed all of the flowers in the bouquet and made some adjustments due to do seasons. She has tons of rental items in her shop too so I was able to see everything and pick out exactly what I wanted for centerpieces. She itemized everything in an invoice so that we could see pricing. She was very professional. On my wedding day, I arrived at the church and saw the photographer outside taking a picture of my bouquet and I almost started crying... it was SO beautiful! I ran up and just couldn't stop staring at it! The bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful too. And when I walked in the sanctuary towards my groom and saw the huge floral displays I was so amazed. They were absolutely beautiful. Even better than I could have imagined. Lastly, when my groom and I were announced at our reception, I saw the centerpieces all set up for the first time and I just couldn't believe how beautiful it all looked. I am a visual person and I had a hard time imagining how everything would look, so seeing it all come together was so exciting. I was very pleased with Shelly's Designs, and I got many many complements on everything. Highly recommended!

lutely stunning our floral centerpieces and bouquets were. Working with you was so easy. You knew exactly what I wanted. I appreciate everything you did for our wedding day! THANK YOU!

iful garland for our head table. On the day of the wedding I couldn't believe how beautiful the flowers and centerpieces were that she came up with! She took what I had in my head and completely blew it out of the water. To top it all off the flowers lasted beautifully for a week after the wedding!

y recommend her to any bride looking for a beautiful bouquet.

felt like she really understood my style and my preferences so after showing her a few pictures of things I liked on pinterest she put her own spin on things and made my bouquets and arrangements one of a kind. She is also willing to work with any budget and you can rent vases and all sorts of things from her shop which is soooooo nice. She came to set up the day of; brought all of the supplies and then, for a small extra fee, came back the same night to pick everything up. Shelly truly is wonderful to work with and created the most beautiful flowers ever. Decorating is the worst part of the wedding day and she took care of everything. Highly recommend Shelly.

to emails and always took the time to answer our questions. We told her our budget, and our vision and she made it happen! It was like she pulled a picture out of my head and delivered it to me in a bouquet! Our flowers were so beautiful and we got so many compliments on them. I would highly recommend Shelly!

he Centerpiece's were fantastic, everyone loved them. Really enjoyed working with Shelly, she was professional and listened to what I was looking for in my flowers. Worked very well with our budget, was very impressed with the outcome. Totally recommend Shelly's Designs Florist to all my friends and other future brides. She is great and you won't be disappointed.

ing. She was able to turn those thoughts and pictures in to exactly what I had imagined our wedding floral would look like. The ceremony decor she helped us with took my breath away when I walked in to the room, and the centerpieces and bouquets were stunning! She was so easy to work with, very responsive to e-mail, and created a very easy way for us to make payments. I would absolutely recommend Shelly to anyone looking for flowers in the GR area!

s! Secondly, since she works out of her home, her prices are much better as she isn't upping the price to pay for her building. On average her quote was $500-1000 less than my other quotes. So you'd be worried about how the flowers looked?! They were absolutely beautiful. She worked with my budget & made it look like I didn't have a budget!!!

ught out my colors of the wedding. She showed her creativity which I loved. If you don't know the first thing about your flowers and what kinds you should put in your bouquet, Shelly will figure it out within minutes. Having her as a vendor who delivers, pick-ups, and has everything looking professional and amazing, made our day amazing.

the reception was held. We are new to the area so we had to depend on referrals. The day was beautiful! The flowers were just as we dreamed that they would look. Our first visit with Shelly was to meet her and to give her our vision. Shelly's designs is a home based business! You truly feel right at home:). She was really good about thinking of all our needs and asking us great questions that helped her build upon our vision! she keeps you in your budget with out taking away from your dreams. We then met with Shelly a second time to go over everything to see to it we were all set for the big day! December 27, 2014 was the most beautiful day and a big thanks goes out to Shelly for making it happen!

our wedding was in Grand Rapids, the majority of our communication was via email. Shelly was extremely responsive and timely and made this an easy process. We arranged a meeting with Shelly and she is great - extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She provided suggestions and really helped us narrow down what we wanted. We opted for real flowers for the bouquets and boutonnieres and then fake flower arrangements for the front of the ceremony room, which we rented from Shelly. These arrangements looked great and were available at a fraction of the cost of a real, large floral arrangement. She also has a multitude of different items you can rent, including card vases/boxes, name card holders, candle holders, vases and numerous other items. Her prices are extremely reasonable as well. Shelly delivered everything on time and as expected and even came and picked up all of our rental items at the end of the night for a nominal fee. Our bouquets and arrangements were GORGEOUS and even better than discussed or expected. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful the flowers were. My only regret was that I had to leave for my honeymoon two days after the wedding so I didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy my bouquet after the fact! If I ever need floral arrangements again, I would definitely contact Shelly and would recommend her to any of my friends and family!

e did great!

did take some time to work through all the detail, I was very at ease when we were done. From helping her own daughter out with her wedding, it is truly visible how Shelly works well with a young bride. She was the guiding force behind idea, but I never felt led astray or pushed towards one idea over another. Then the day of, she was phenomenal. The church was ready to go when we arrived after the salon. My matron of ceremonies had no issues gaining contact with Shelly and her timeliness was refreshing on such a time crunch day as a wedding can be. I would recommend anyone getting married and seeking a florist who is willing to go the distance, to get Shelly. She was not only the florist for our wedding. We rented table numbers, a cake stand, cocktail table toppers, candles, and a few tall candelabras to place flowers and candles on. She eliminated the need to go through any other decorating or wedding planning groups. I would like to also note that the church and ballroom spaces we used were extremely happy to know we were working with Shelly. While working with all our pinterest items here and there, she is still able to maintain great professional relationships with people that are known to be strict and critical of a bride’s choice. Shelly can make a bride so confident in her vision and is worth every penny and then some. Whereas some of the larger florists/decorating companies in the Greater Grand Rapids area were quoting me at one and a half times the budget I presented, Shelly kept us under our budget and allowed us to truly wow our guests.

outonnieres were so vibrant and classy. The centerpieces pulled everything together. The best thing about Shelly is that she is way more than a florist! She was always so upbeat and offered advice when it came to planning! I really enjoyed working with her!
