Tara L Folker
Owner
Tara is a long time flower lover and plant geek.. She was a rambunctious toddler, and decided she would get a head start in the horticulture industry by eating her mothers house plants. This mostly resulted in the poison control center being called repeatedly, but perhaps also instilled in her the love of all things green and growing. Tara has had her hands in the dirt and been playing with flowers, creatures, and plants her whole life. However, she has had no formal training, as she feels this would ruin her.

After following Splints & Daisies on Instagram for years and being obsessed with her work, I was finally able to hire her for my own wedding, and I'm SO glad we did! We were SO obsessed with the turn out, as were all of our guests. I asked her for dark purple & burgundy flowers with lots of greenery & moss (enchanted forest/moody vibes) and she delivered beyond our expectations! The overhead installation, vines creeping down the aisle, and moss details... everything was so perfect and so much more beautiful than we could've envisioned. She was also extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with! If you're picky about the types of flowers you like, and want that certain style that not your average florists can accomplish... I promise you, Tara can! Thank you SO MUCH, Tara! <3

From start to finish, Tara was great to work with. She truly listened to our vision and brought it to life. The flowers were stunning—every arrangement was thoughtfully crafted and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Tara is super professional, organized, great communicator, and so easy to work with. She made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable! We received so many compliments on our florals and it made our venue looks so airy and whimsical. Thank you for being a huge part of our day!

I met with several florists in the area and nothing came even close to Tara and her florals! I had a vision and Tara not only made it reality, she exceeded everything I was looking for. Our guest have not stopped talking about how gorgeous our wedding florals were - I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to stop talking about them or staring at the photos 😍
On top of the jaw dropping florals, Tara is one of the sweetest and most thoughtful people. She is willing to go the extra mile to make your day extra special.
I could not recommend Splints and Daisies enough for your event, I promise you will not regret it!

My husband and I highly recommend Splints & Daisies! Tara was a pleasure to work with. She is professional, an excellent communicator, and flexible. We had some ideas when we first connected with Tara but had no clear floral vision. But after a brief meeting, she filled in the design gaps and over-delivered the day of.
We decided to move our outdoor ceremony indoors the night before our wedding. With short notice, Splints & Daisies was able to modify the ceremony backdrop to fit within the new space, and we couldn’t have been more impressed by the final product. Our backdrop was one of my favorite wedding day details. All of the floral arrangements were heavily complimented by our guests.
We were amazed by everything Splints & Daisies did. Tara and her team are gifted. If we were to do it all again, we’d still choose Splints & Daisies as our florist.

Splints and daisies created the most beautifully dark and moody floral arrangements for our wedding on Nov 3 2023 and we could not be happier! They were exactly as we envisioned and so much more. I asked Tara to create a greenery heavy, dark and moody vibe and believe she delivered exactly that. I will recommend her to all my friends for their future events.

AMAZING humans to work with. When looking at florist sites, S&D was the only one that stood out. Their beautiful story, creative and bold design was what pulled me in. Our wedding was very fall, very October, very bold with all of the colors. Tara was so communicative throughout the 2 year planning process. I apologized so many times for all of my questions and changes made but she assured my feelings and questions were totally valid. I cherish that quality in a professional. I am still obsessed with how she made my vision come to life. The pricing was more than reasonable and absolutely worth it.

i met tara a few years ago and knew immediately she would be the florist for my wedding. i just got married 2 weeks ago and, while i knew she would perfect the vision i had for our florals, she still managed to blow me away. i barely had any direction to give her (because she doesn't need it) and it was so emotional getting to see what she came up with as i stepped into the space for our private vows. i cried about the flowers almost as much as i did about my husband.

Tara is an amazing florist and words cannot fully describe how incredible I think her work is. I deeply admire her committment to sustainability -- that was one of the first things that set her apart from other florists. Second, I love how easy it was to communicate with Tara. My only requests were the colors, the inclusion of red roses, and having a more loose bouquet. But other than that, I didn't have any specific ideas that I wanted to be recreated. The florals were all her original work! She had amazing suggestions that elevated the look of the wedding ceremony& reception, PLUS by going with her suggestions I was able to make the most of my floral budget. People wouldn't stop commenting on how uniquely stunning the flowers were. I would 100% recommend Tara to other brides!

The flowers at our wedding were above and beyond anything I could possibly have dreamed. Tara and her team transformed the Tudor Style Manor we had our wedding in into an overgrown fairytale scene. She had the absolutely brilliant idea to have my bridesmaids carry lanterns with flowers cascading off. It was a literal stroke of genius. Wish I could get married again just so I could hire Splints and Daisies. Transformative.

Tara was absolutely fantastic to work with. Incredibly responsive and respectful of my time. Knew exactly when to let me think things through on my own vs when to help provide a gentle bit of guidance to better achieve the vision. And then absolutely nailed the final product. I would 100% recommend Splints & Daisies to anyone and I will absolutely be keeping them on my list for any future event needs.

Our wedding planner recommended Tara to us based upon the vibes that we were going for for our wedding (dark, moody, fall) and Tara took everything we talked about and went for it. Our flowers were absolutely stunning. From the personal bouquets my bridal party and I had, to the flowers on our chuppah, and our centerpieces it was all absolutely beautiful and breathtaking and everything that we could have dreamed of. She was also so accommodating when I forgot about corsages for my MIL and GMIL and about petals for the flower girl. She was truly a gem and I also really appreciate her sustainable practices in how she does floral arrangements. My husband and I didn't have a "green" wedding wedding but we wanted to be as environmentally friendly as possible without compromising the aesthetic choices that we wanted to make and Tara was perfect for that since she tries to only use local in season blooms. Thank you for making our special day so absolutely beautiful!

We cannot express our gratitude enough for the absolutely unreal work Tara created for our wedding day. The florals were the most important element of the day for me what Tara gave us was beyond my wildest dreams. There are truly no words to describe how grateful I am that she was a part of our day. I am in absolute awe of the talent of Tara and her team.
I am going to be dreaming about the sweetheart installation and the bouquets for the rest of my life. The tables were literal perfection. I have seen hundreds of weddings in my career and literally nothing will compare to what she did. Every single person was in amazement over what was created and I will literally be shouting from the rooftops that there is truly only one floral designer any couple should consider.
Tara seriously made my wedding vision come true and I am forever grateful. She is truly one of a kind and we are so lucky to have worked with her.

I cannot recommend Tara enough for your wedding florals!!! She was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. When I had my initial call with her, I didn't know how to put into words my vision for our wedding florals but it felt like Tara just knew exactly what I wanted and I trusted her ideas from the beginning! I followed Tara on Instagram before booking with her, so I knew what great work she did and I was SO excited to see what she was going to do for our wedding. Tara left me speechless (I was actually like freaking out in excitement) when I got to the venue on our wedding day and saw her arrangements. I knew her work was exceptional but OMG she exceeded our expectations times a million. I still cannot believe the beautiful work she put together and we received SO many compliments from our guests!!! I truly don't know how she does it, but it's amazing and you should stop searching now and book Tara for your wedding. You will not regret it! Thanks for everything Tara!!!

My florals from Splints & Daisies were just beautiful 🌸🌼 Tara was lovely from our first conversation through wedding day. She entertained all our ideas and gave professional guidance where needed. And she really understood our late summer vibes. My bouquet was the most beautiful, but all the flowers were so fresh. They have the most fun, whimsical designs too!

The florals Tara designed for my wedding on 8/20/2022 at Terrain were absolutely breathtaking. My experience working with Tara could not have been better from our first intake call to the day of the wedding. I gave Tara some information about our wedding and trusted her to handle the design from there, and I am so incredibly glad I did, because I could never have even imagined anything as beautiful as what I received.
Tara worked with me to stay within my budget which was SO appreciated, but the end result certainly did not look like florals "on a budget". All the guests were blown away by them and jumped at the chance to take home table arrangements. I would work with splints & daisies again in a heartbeat and would encourage anyone who is thinking about it to go for it because you won't be sorry! Thank you Tara!!!

I do not have enough words to express how much I love Tara's work. Her talent and creativity are unmatched. My jaw dropped when I saw the way the room looked after Tara worked her magic. It was breathtaking. She hung greenery from the ceiling throughout the entire room, which was no easy task. She spent nearly all day on a ladder to do so. And the actual floral arrangements were stunning. To this day people still mention how beautiful our florals were. Tara will not waste your time, she provided me with a quote within hours of chatting with her. She answered my emails in a timely fashion. She is straight to the point and as a bride I truly appreciated that. I have nothing, but great things to say about my experience with her.

This is not a business I would have anything to do with. The owner is condescending to her customers. In this time of pandemic and uncertainty, she puts all the risk on to the consumer. After reading so many reviews all over the web. I have absolutely no idea has she stays in business. I could not tell you about her product as we have never seen it. My daughter's wedding was postponed once with the COVID -19 outbreak. It was eventually canceled due to the mother and father (both fully vaccinated and boosted) of the bride contracting COVID for the second time. In the end, this person has no clue how to treat customers.
Vendor response 01/20/2022
Thank you for expressing your concern, Shawn.
It was unfortunate that your daughter decide...
d to cancel her wedding just a few days before the event due to her parents having contracting Covid the week prior.
However, we had all supplies, products, and flowers in hand, paid for, and accounted for. Our signed contract was very clear as to how that would need to be handled.
We did the best to accommodate by offering to deliver the flowers to another local location, and our offer was not responded to. We could not deliver and install at the contracted venue, as you had also canceled the venue.
Bailey was an absolute joy to work with for 2 years, through a postponement too! She was a trooper.
I am happy to have been able to donate your flowers to a nursing home so they did not go to waste.
Best wishes to Bailey & Corey.

We had the most wonderful experience working with Tara at Splints and Daisies for our wedding at Terrain. Tara has such a talent for working with florals and provided the absolute most beautiful set up I could have imagined. The process with working her was so seamless. I provided a budget and my likes/dislikes and Tara did an exceptional job! I could not have imagined anything better. Her services are top notch and prices very reasonable for her talent.

All I had to do was look at a few photos of Tara’s work online to know that she was the florist for me. Her work was unlike anything I had ever seen. As an artist myself, I knew I wanted to work with a florist who was also a true artist that approaches all of the work for her clients, with a fresh take on their ideas. After we met her, the decision to book her as our florist had only solidified further. She was incredibly friendly and down to earth and completely receptive and enthusiastic about all of my husband and i’s ideas. Which, only made us all the more excited to see what she would come up with for us. Let me just tell you that she blew us and all of our guests out of the water. I wanted to keep all of her work a secret as she was working on setting it all up so I could take it all in after it had all come together. It was the hardest thing I had to do all day, to not to spoil it for myself. The only time I cried all day was when she brought my bouquet in to the bridal suite for me to see.
My husband and I were one of the first couples to get married after the pandemic shut everything down back in early 2020. We wound up having to postpone our big day 3 separate times. And with each postponement, I worried most about losing Tara as a vendor if other couples had already booked her on our new dates. She was the one vendor I could not picture my day without. Luckily it all worked out and she brought all of our visions to life even better than we had envisioned them ourselves.
Overall, I could not recommend Splints and Daisies more than I do. If you want a truly unique take on your ideas and for you guests to still be talking about your florals weeks later, look no farther than Tara. I would give her more stars if it were possible.

Tara is a true floral artist, and I can't recommend Splints & Daisies more! From our first conversation to the end of our wedding night, Tara had everything organized, under control, and executed beautifully. She was super communicative and incredibly helpful during the planning phases, and created stunning custom designs with minimal input from me (she asks all the right questions). I mean, just look at the real-time reaction photos of me seeing my bouquet for the first time! The floral designs were some of the biggest WOW factors of our wedding - every single guest commented on it - and yet, it was one of the simplest aspects of the day to plan and prepare for. Trust Tara's suggestions and expertise. Her work is PURE MAGIC.

I’m a wedding photographer so I have a review from the vendor’s perspective - Tara is the best at what she does. She really is. The fact that she uses all locally grown material is amazing and she’s so supportive of other small businesses and vendors. I have her at the top of my preferred vendor list for my own clients and I get so excited when they hire her. Her craftsmanship is unique and you can tell it was her work without having to be told. She makes fine art floral pieces rather than just standard bouquets or centerpieces. I can’t recommend her enough.

Splints and Daisies helped me with my wedding flowers and that was the best decision of my whole planning process! Tara was so kind, knowledgeable, helpful and with floral skills, so talented. She helped me maneuver through the process of rescheduling with the utmost professionalism and fairness. She worked with transparency and respect, being careful to explain everything, as we were all pivoting and figuring out how to handle the pandemic. I highly recommend Tara and her team, the level of talent is sky high and they are just such a joy to work. The wedding flowers were beyond gorgeous and the most memorable part of my day aside from getting married!

As most Brides know, this year has been a journey figuring out next steps due to COVID-19. Although we had to ultimately post-pone our wedding, Tara has been really responsive, accommodating, and helpful in a time when not all vendors have been. Even before the discussions to postpone, she was very attentive in listening to my vision and I have every confidence she will execute on the plans flawlessly next June when *hopefully* we'll be able to have our wedding. Looking forward to working with Tara over the next few months.

Tara and her team work absolute magic with florals. I mean serious magic. From only communicating over the phone, email, and looking at my Pinterest board she went above and beyond my expectations. She does not skimp on what she provides and everything is amazing quality. The fireplace was the main focal point of both the ceremony and reception and she did not disappoint on dressing it up and making it look absolutely gorgeous. And ugh, the hanging greenery😍 You are getting the best of the best when you book with Tara!

I didn’t have a particularly detailed vision of our wedding flowers, so the best thing I did was hire Tara. You can rest assured that no matter what she does, it will be magical. I put the most impactful décor of my wedding into her capable hands and she more than delivered. She was honest about what flowers (and greens!) cost, and helped me figure out how to get the most bang for my buck. When our table situation changed a few weeks before the wedding, she was flexible and solution-oriented. I’d hire her again tomorrow.

I have been working with Tara for about a year now - first for our initial wedding date of August 2020, and now as a pandemic bride with a August 2021 date. Tara's work first captured my attention on Instagram - it's incredibly beautiful, vivid, and lively. She was willing to work within our budget to accommodate all of our requests. I fully appreciate her transparency and recommendations based on our vision for the wedding. As we don't have a planner or designer, Tara's floral work would truly be the spotlight (and a beautiful one at that). In the past week, we moved our wedding to 2021 due to the pandemic. Tara was incredibly responsive and adaptive to our new date - we are thrilled to be working with her in 2021 and appreciate her open lines of communication & artistic vision.
August 2021 Update: If you are getting married in Pennsylvania, book Splints & Daisies! You will not regret it! Tara was absolutely amazing to work with - she's a florist who is passionate about her product, helping your vision come to life, and she knows her stuff. We were originally supposed to have our wedding in August 2020 and had to reschedule due to the pandemic. Nearing the decision date last year, Tara was incredibly responsive, understanding, and made our postponement very easy to navigate. When we arrived at our venue this year, my jaw dropped when I saw the florals she had prepared. Every piece from table arrangements to bouquets was absolutely stunning. The biggest comment we got all night was "these flowers are amazing!" I can't say enough great things about Tara - she truly brought our entire day to life. Thank you, Splints & Daisies!

Unfortunately, I am a pandemic bride that has had many sleepless nights over if it would be safe to have my fall 2020 wedding. Ultimately, my fiance and I decided it was in the best interest of the health and safety of our loved ones to proactively postpone our wedding to 2021. I was so upset at the idea of possibly losing Tara and her beautiful work on our big day (especially since florals are so important to me) but we were lucky enough that she was available for our new date! Tara made the postponement process so easy and seamless for us. Not once did she question or contest our decision to proactively postpone and that kind of understanding and humility meant the world to us, especially now. The wedding industry has been hit hard by this crisis and it can be easy for the stress of it to take over anyone, but Tara has navigated our situation with grace and professionalism. For that, we are so grateful and can't wait for our beautiful florals next year! Though we didn't actually have our wedding yet, I'd recommend Tara to anyone just going off our experience with her during these tough times.

Tara took my vision and made it more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She really is an artist. I still cannot get over the details of my bouquet. Choosing her will be one of the best decisions you make.

Although we didn’t have a full service wedding our flowers were still beautiful. Tara does mostly fill service but accommodated me willingly. We had her do my bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnières, and two flower crowns. Communication with Tara was super easy and she was there every step. My dad picked up the flowers day of our wedding and had nothing but nice things to say about her. There was a spot of some dead flowers in my bouquet but we just cut them out. But other than that Tara did an absolutely amazing job.

I am still speechless over my wedding flowers. Tara took my vision and made it more beautiful than I could have ever possibly imagined. She truly is an artist and a florist combined and my day wouldn't have been as perfect as it was if it wasn't for her. So many guests came up to my husband and I and told us the flowers were the most beautiful they have ever seen and we agree! Tara completely transformed our venue into a magical, enchanting, bohemian dream. I can't recommend her enough and several of our guests who are getting married in 2020 wanted her contact info and reached out to her before our wedding was even over. Stop thinking about it and hire Splints & Daisies. It'll be the best decision you make, besides marrying your soulmate. :)

Tara was so enjoyable to work with! She took all of our changes in stride and ended up producing flowers more beautiful than we could have imagined! Last-minute changes would normally freak anyone out (they did for me) but Tara had no problem showing her creativity and designing a set up on the sweetheart table instead of a swing that was never made. The altar/arbor setup, sweetheart table, bride's bouquet, flower girl bouquet, and flower girl crown were all absolutely gorgeous. Everyone could not stop talking about them! I recommend Tara to anyone who even mentions florals, for weddings or otherwise!

Splints & Daisies makes some of the most lovely flower arrangements.I found Tara's website on google and then I saw her Instagram and I instantly knew she was the perfect choice for me. I discussed colors, flowers, and shared my Pinterest with her and she made it come alive the day of my wedding. She is also very flexible if you have any additional request after the initial conversation. I definitely recommend Splints & Daisies if you're having a wedding or any other event.

Being a creative professional myself, I was recommend Tara by the venue for her creativity and ability to set herself apart. After our initial meeting I had zero doubts or hesitations and booked her the same day. Tara knows her stuff and is beyond talented which made this part of the wedding planning process truly worry-free. We discussed the general theme and colors for the wedding, she made helpful suggestions based on our budget, and with absolute confidence I let her have creative freedom over the floral design.. Yes, I had no idea what the flowers were going to look like until the day of our wedding.. And honestly I was overwhelmed with emotion when I first walked into the reception area, it was better than I could have ever imagined.. Everything from the boutonnieres to the centerpieces was perfect, and I wouldn't have changed a single thing!

Can I give her 6 stars? Tara was fantastic. Considering my main wedding color does not come in a flower and that I didn’t have a specific picture of what I wanted, I gave Tara a general idea of what we wanted. What she came up with was just perfect! The bouquets that she came up with looked amazing and I couldn’t have asked for better. Her style is unique and she was just a wonderful person to work with.

Tara did such an amazing job for our wedding. She brought my vision to life perfectly and I could not have been happier with the floral arrangements at the reception, not to mention my bouquet was a dream. She worked within our budget and was responsive and thoughtful throughout the process. Thank you thank you thank you!

Tara Folker is hands-down the best at what she does! She did the flowers for my sister's May 2016 wedding, and we reached out to her as soon as we were engaged for our November 2018 wedding. Her stunning flowers were definitely the highlight and focal point of our wedding decor, and they couldn't have been more perfect! Highly recommend.

Creative, Flexible, Confident, Accommodating, Talented, CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT TARA! As a bride who honestly knows nothing about flowers, Tara took the lead and helped me bring my "classic winter white" vision to life. As a type A bride, I was very involved with my other vendors, but had full confidence after meeting with Tara and seeing her work, that the flowers would be just perfect. And guess what? They were! If you're debating working with Splints & Daisies... don't.. Just say "I do!"

Tara was a truly incredible vendor to work with! We found her via Instagram in very early stages of our wedding planning process and reached out immediately! She replied to email communication so quickly, which as a very Type A bride, was so important to put me at ease. We had a 24-month engagement, so we wanted to get our preferred vendors booked right away so that we could save some stress later in the process. Tara from Splints&Daisies was the second vendor we locked down. I went to meet her while in the Lancaster area to talk through details and felt that she understood my vision immediately. Florals were one of the only things that I was able to put fully out of sight, out of mind. I knew that whatever color scheme, design or installation that she put together would be perfect. I had 100% trust and confidence in her to deliver without any direction. What I didn’t expect was that her floral installation would actually EXCEED my expectations. When I showed up at our venue, The Booking House, my bouquet was already in the bridal suite and it was absolutely perfect. As I walked upstairs to the second floor and saw her hanging tree branches from the ceiling, I was speechless. I wanted the room to feel like the Secret Garden, bringing the outdoors inside for a moody fall evening, and that is exactly what we received. Words don’t appropriately describe the way her work made me feel. It was truly breathtaking, and made the entire vision of my wedding day come to life. Truly magical. She was such a dream to work with - professional, kind, organized and one of the most creative people I have ever met. Five stars is not enough to articulate the level of service that you are getting by hiring Tara and her team. The Splints&Daisies execution is unmatched, and we are so grateful that they were able to make our day so special.

We were going for an enchanted forest theme and HOLY CANNOLI did Tara deliver. My mom casually mentioned she wanted the place to be "dripping" in flowers and Tara delivered in the most spectacular way. She made us a gorgeous greenery archway of our dreams, hung greenery from the rafters, did a ridiculous fireplace piece, and made the most gorgeous nests of greenery and flowers for the tables. The bouquets and boutonnieres were divine. I don't have words for how gorgeous she made our venue. It was plain and open before she arrived and she blew the roof off the place with floral decor. The best part is that I barely had to give her direction, she has amazing style and knows exactly what flowers will look best. Put your wedding in her hands and you will not regret it for a second. She is the absolute best.

Tara is a true artist. She took exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding and made it a reality. The bouquets were each different and unique and the floral arrangements were divine. I can't stop hearing about how beautiful and creative they were. Tara really listened and made my boho/ country style a reality. She is easy to work with and communication was seamless. The day went without a hitch and her team set up and were done quickly.
If you are looking for a very unique boho style- GO WITH TARA.

Tara is seriously incredibly talented. In my opinion, her quality of work for the price she charges is unbelievable. She installed a giant floral arrangement for my wedding and provided huge gorgeous centerpieces. They were jW dropping. She had great ideas for me to save money on my flowers and she was so kind even when I changed my mind approximately 4,000 time :) I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Choosing Splints and Daisies as our florist for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made! Tara was the sweetest to work with and SO talented! She knew exactly what I was going for and brought my vision to life! She thought of every detail and went above and beyond for every arrangement. My bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, apple cider bar garland, bar garland, centerpieces - everything was so magical! You can tell she loves what she does, it shows in all of her work! I'd work with Tara again in a heartbeat!

Tara of Splints & Daisies is a true floral artist! Give her an idea of what you like and she brings it to life beyond what you could have imagined. From our first meeting, my husband and I felt totally comfortable with her. She is super friendly and down-to-earth. We talked about flowers we liked and brought a Pinterest board of the vibe we were interested in, but we put full trust in Tara to do her thing. Going into our wedding day, we loved that we would get to be surprised by all the florals and it was more beautiful than we could have imagined! My bouquet was a gorgeous floral statement, free flowing with wildflowers and a large protea as the wow factor. We had discussed doing something special and different for my husband being in the plant science industry, and she created the most epic floral bowtie with real flowers and in our wedding colors. From the bouquets to the centerpiece garlands with flowers to the boutonnieres and pomanders, everything was stunning! She even had some beautiful flowers that were able to be used in my hair and really completed my bridal look. And flowers for our cake that were the perfect compliment. Tara's style accentuates nature's beauty and we loved that she also focuses on bringing you the best local flowers and using green methods that reduce waste. Our guests still to this day over a year later bring up how beautiful all of our flowers were, especially how cool the floral bow tie was! Tara was SO awesome to work with and we ecstatically recommend her!!!

My flowers were GORGEOUS! We picked up the flowers from the shop the morning of the wedding and everything was ready to go <3. I had ordered a bouquet for myself , sisters , a flower crown for my niece and boutonnieres (4 all together.) I still have a week to go until I get the pictures back but I cannot wait to share them. My wedding day was so wonderful. Thank you Tara!

Okay.. so I can't say enough good things about Tara. If you haven't already, check out her Instagram. Just do it - you'll thank yourself later. From the moment I booked her, I knew I'd be in great hands. Tara's patience was so great to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and her professionalism & passion for what she does really shines in her work. Her job is not easy (who just magically creates huge pieces of art out of flowers so seamlessly?) She is a true artist and I wouldn't have chosen anyone else for my special day. Everything she did was so thoughtful, beautiful, and blew me away.

Tara was AMAZING! My centerpieces, bouquets, and arrangements around my ceremony space were everything I dreamed of. People are still talking about how beautiful my floral arrangements were. She even made flower crowns for my niece and daughters to wear as my flower girls—they LOVED them (and they lasted all night long!) I highly recommend you don’t pass Splints n daisies up—they truly brought my vision to life!

Tara was fantastic through the process. I hired her as my florist because I loved her unique designs and I knew I could trust her to do something beautiful without having to micromanage. I told her what I lived and let her do her thing. She came in on my wedding day with the bouquet of my dreams and made my day stress free. I recommend her to everyone I know!

Tara with Splints and Daisies is a true floral artist. She created absolutely stunning bouquets, centerpieces, and a hanging greenery/mantle arrangement for our ceremony/reception space. We got married at the Booking House and Tara transformed the space into a magical greenery wonderland. I continue to swoon over the pictures I have of the floral arrangements. I highly recommend Splints and Daisies!

Tara's creative vision made our wedding dreams come true. My husband and I worked with Tara for our wedding and I am still in awe of how perfect our flowers were. She transformed the Cork Factory ballroom and it was just gorgeous. My husband was so adament on making a mantle for the fireplace at our venue and Tara was on board with everything. She also had a back up plan which put my mind at ease but everything came out stunning. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend working with Splints and Daisies for your next event.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Tara is absolutely amazing!!! She created the vision that I had for my wedding with such perfection! Tara was extremely flexible when my fiance and I had to change our wedding date from the Fall to a Winter wedding (four days after Christmas) due to an unforeseen health issue . Tara was scheduled off during that week and was so accommodating and kind to still work with us on our new wedding date. The floral landscape she created for our tables and the bouquets were absolute perfection!!! Tara is a must have for your wedding or any occasion if you are looking for a gorgeous vision!

Look no further, you won't regret going with Splints & Daisies. Not only does she make gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces, she worked directly with our decor provider to add flowers to hoops that would hang behind our heads for the ceremony. The hoops were absolutely stunning and Tara was tons of fun to work with!

I am a nut for flowers and knew they would be a central part of the decor for my wedding. The 2 hour drive to meet with Tara and book her for the wedding was 110% worth it. She exceeded my wildest floral dreams. Not only was every piece impeccably designed, but her use of local flowers was the icing on the cake. Because of her eye and artistry I have found many new flowers to count among my favorites. Trust her skills and she'll top anything you could find on Pinterest or in magazines.

Tara is incredible! I was so unsure of what I wanted for flowers. I had a vision, but I couldn't quite put it into words what I wanted. It was as if she had plucked the thoughts right from my mind and made it even better. Our flowers were STUNNING and blended in perfectly to our decor. She is also super accommodating to work with any budget! But trust me, invest in flowers, invest in Splints and Daisies, and you won't regret it!

Tara and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding flowers. I still cannot believe how beautiful everything turned out, it was beyond anything I could have imagined. The next day I went up to the reception space to admire everything one last time because I could stare at it forever. With just a few ideas and colors she made the most insanely beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and altar. She is so talented with her arrangements and puts colors and textures together that you wouldn't even think of. I am so, so happy we chose to go with Splints and Daisies for our wedding flowers, and would highly recommend anyone looking for an easy, fulfilling experience to do the same! Thank you so much Tara!!

Tara was amazing to work with and I could not recommend her enough. We got married in August at The Cork Factory Hotel in Lancaster, PA and from the first call we knew Tara was the perfect fit. She was so knowledgeable about the venue and willing to work with out budget. She is super attentive and perceptive and was able to take our pinterest boards and conversations and make our dreams a reality. She gave great suggestions and was open to all of our ideas. The bouquets and hanging floral arrangement from a ladder as our alter exceeded our expectations. I would tell anyone to book her without hesitation and am already looking for another reason to use her!
