The Elegant Bee

looking for a florist!

nd ideas I had in my head. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking quality elegant flower arrangements.

theme, and I don't have specific colors in mind. I just want everyone to feel wonderful when they walk in." And when prompted further, our daughter's response would be "It's a feeling I'm going after, not a look, and I know what that feeling is." Somehow, after a couple of hours of speaking with our daughter, Patti at the Elegant Bee new exactly what our daughter wanted and carried out her vision and "feeling" perfectly!!! Patti and her team are amazing at what they do and we cannot imagine the wedding without them!!

and made the day so beautiful. After the consultation, I was provided with a detailed list of the arrangements (down to what flowers were in each arrangement) and the pricing of each, as well as how each could be repurposed moving from the ceremony site to the reception site (which their wonderful staff stuck around to move). Their familiarity with the other vendors in the area made coordinating a breeze (especially when I didn't have a dedicated coordinator). I can't recommend them enough! Made our day!

e my order was in, I knew it was going to be magical without a doubt. Her work is congruent with the latest trends, yet can be traditional too. She can basically create anything you want. She duplicated my pinterest requests to a T and did not disappoint. She asked for swatches of my wedding colors to make sure that the flowers and ribbons would match. Flowers were on time and perfect, perfect, perfect. Would not have done anything differently. My favorite arrangement was the eucalyptus swag on my welcome sign. I was so in love, I wish I could have kept it forever! I couldn't thank Pattie and her team enough for everything they did for our wedding and especially for her prayers and sweet thoughts. Thank you for treating us like family!

was super easy to work with and they delivered on every aspect of the ceremony and reception. We had several different varieties of spring flowers and they incorporated deer antlers into several of the arrangements. It was absolutely beautiful and I'm still getting compliments from our friends and family. Don't look any further and go with Elegant Bee!

om scratch. Great florist!!!

flowers. I had the privilege of working with Amanda. Amanda went above and beyond in making sure my vision came to life on my wedding day. She was accommodating and flexible when I needed to make changes to the number of centerpieces and helping me try to stay within our budget. I have always loved roses and my bouquet included garden and spray roses. It was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Wedding planning can be stressful but my experience with the Elegant Bee was anything but stressful. I highly recommend the Elegant Bee!

n to life in ways we never thought possible. They truly put their customers first and you WILL NOT be disappointed in the quality and beauty of their end product!!! Our jewel- toned-rustic-country wedding theme was certainly a challenge and The Elegant Bee knocked it out of the ball park! The breathtakingly beautiful floral displays with vintage country décor...they made our dreams come true and we will eternally be grateful for their advice, prayers, and service throughout the entire process.

e for your wedding.

in on the focus in such a beautiful way. She really listens and supports her brides and delivers such a beautiful, unique and elegant product that matches whatever your vision might be. She also genuinely cares about blessing your marriage. Couldn't ask for anything more. In fact, my husband just asked what I'm doing and after I told him he said, "She is so sweet. Can we just go hang out with her and learn things?" That's Pattie. Bride and groom approved!

he flowers but they weren't missed – everything was beautifully done!

e, creative, and very, very kind. I highly recommend them. As a former wedding coordinator I've had the opportunity to work with several high-quality florists, and this group rates among the highest.

tifully designed. I highly recommend The Elegant Bee.

conversation she was able to figure out exactly what I wanted. The flowers were beautiful, fresh and colorful with gorgeous arrangements. On top of that, Amanda was well-organized, punctual and easy to contact - completely stress-free. My ceremony and reception were stunning thanks to the flowers. I couldn't have been happier! I highly recommend The Elegant Bee to anyone in the San Antonio area getting married.

so I sought out a florist with experience and talent, and Elegant Bee was that and more. Amanda met with me twice at my request just to get the flowers just right and walked me thru the whole thing, she listened to everything I asked and even accomodated me when I wanted to tweak a few things very close to the wedding. At the ceremony, I could not believe how much work was put in by Amanda and the team to get everything perfect. The flowers were breathtaking to say the least! But what impressed me even more was that Amanda stayed well into the ceremony to transition my arrangements! Bottom line is Elegant Bee went above and beyond to create the flowers of my dreams.

e and had extra pedals to line the path for the bridal party. Everyone raved over the flowers. It was just what we wanted. We had interviewed several different florist and they really were the only ones we felt that got our vision for the wedding. And did they ever. Perfection!

e entrance and it just blew me away. She definitely went above and beyond to make me happy!

ng for. There were gasps as soon as anyone walked into the venue on our wedding day, the flowers were the first thing you'd see. Months later I STILL have friends and family raving about the it. My vision would not have come to fruition if not for Elegant Bee. I see others struggle under the weight of picking the perfect flowers, I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Even more important, I’ve made some friends for life. Thank you Elegant Bee!

getting EXACTLY what I envisioned, and also made brilliant suggestions along the way. What I loved her for was that she calmed me down when I was at my highest stress level and gave me advice that I still hold today. I got so many compliments come wedding day and you would be beyond satisfied and in the best hands if you use Elegant Bee for your big day!

flowers from before I was in engaged to our meeting point. I felt like she was reading my mind as she described what she saw and I absolutely trusted everything she came up with. I loved that her quote came with the names of every flower for each bouquet - we were able to look up every flower and really envision what they would look like. And boy did they deliver. I wish I could attach a picture to my review because our flowers were stunning. Since our wedding I have had probably about ten people compliment me on how gorgeous our flowers were.

. I had so much trust in Pattie that I didn't even need to see a trial run. She literally made my wedding look like a set of movie and I couldn't believe the flowers were real! I wish I had a picture to show everyone! I will eternally be grateful for Pattie and her team for all their hard work! I will forever be there friend! You have to hire her!

tion that was available. As we continued to change smaller fine details during their biggest season of the year, they were more than happy to help us despite the other weddings they were working. Everything turned out absolutely beautifully and there wasn't a thing that I would change! Their expertise is beyond anything I knew that existed and my wedding day was beautiful because of that. Thank you so much Elegant Bee!!

She has a beautiful spirit that just shines. She handle my daughter's last minute "freak out" with ease. Flowers were one of our top priorities and The Elegant Bee delivered!

ed into our daughters reception area. I was so amazed at how beautiful everything looked . Every thing was PERFECT!! She is very prompt in getting back with you and really cares about how much you want to spend and she makes every dollar go along ways. I just can't say enough about this wonderful lady and her staff. Patti thank you for an amazing job you did for Brittany's wedding!!!

t Bee did not disappoint! Amanda was so great to work with. She knows everything there is to know about every kind of flower. There were so many flowers I had never heard of or seen before that she picked out for the various arrangements and they were absolutely beautiful. My bridal bouquet was more amazing than I could have imagined. The table arrangements were massive show stoppers. They really helped fill up the space of the huge room they were in, and the room smelled amazing!! Everything they did was better than anything I had pictured in my head. I am so glad that I picked them to be apart of my wedding.

detailed notes from our first phone consultation. She helped me figure out where we would need flowers, and she made helpful suggestions, such as repurposing the ceremony flowers for the reception. She listened closely to my requests and then translated my bride speak into flower speak (i.e., apparently "those little ball thingies" are actually hyperemicum, ha!) She was SO patient in dealing with my many requests throughout the 9 months of planning! And the finished product absolutely took my breath away. My bouquet looked even better than the Pinterest inspiration I had sent her. Everything was perfect. My personal favorite piece was the 32-foot floral garland that they wove by hand for our family-style dinner table. Our guests kept commenting on how beautiful everything looked! As an added treat, my husband and I finally met Pattie before the reception, and she was so kind to us! I can tell that a lot of heart goes into this business, and we feel lucky that her team was a part of our day!

erpiece or bouquet were absolutely stunning - she truly embodied my elegant and classy theme. She is truly gifted and made my wedding incredibly romantic and beautiful. She also was so sweet and fun to work with - her creativity helped guide my dream wedding ideas into reality. I am so thankful I chose The Elegant Bee, it would not have been as beautiful and perfect without Pattie's touch! Best part of my wedding :)

see created for our wedding. All flowers were vibrant and gorgeous upon arrival and the arrangements could not have been more breathtaking. I received many compliments saying that I had the most beautiful bouquet they had ever seen. I realized my love and appreciation for flowers because of The Elegant Bee. Thank you so much!

work with us from a distance. Amanda was awesome! She ensured that my floral vision came to life and did a great job at keeping in touch. We received multiple compliments regarding our beautiful floral arrangements. I could not have chosen a better florist!!

or and incorporated wine barrels and grapes into our florals. Our venue (Hyatt Hill Country Resort) looked better than I thought possible and not to mention the joy she is to work with. She personally came to us while we were getting ready to say a few sweet words prior to us walking down the aisle. Her florals aren't like others I had seen and you will definitely not be disappointed.

rned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined, they completely captured what I wanted. I would highly recommend the Elegant Bee!

cking out each flower, leaf, shape, structure that I liked and didn't like about each one. She makes you feel so loved and cared about throughout the entire process and even afterwards. I knew the flowers and arrangements would be beautiful at the wedding but they completely exceeded my expectations! They were EXACTLY what we described and put together through our meetings and pictures and I could not have been more pleased with how they turned out. Pattie not only gets to the venue early with the flowers so that we have them for pictures, but she stays to set them up so that they look perfect and are all put in the right spots. I would recommend Pattie to any and every bride in the area because you can't get this type of experience and love anywhere else! I can't wait to have an excuse to get to work with her again!! :) Thank you so much Pattie and to all of your wonderful team that helped out as well. Y'all are truly wonderful!!

tie and Amanda made me feel so at ease! After the open house, I set up a time to meet Amanda to go over my ideas for flowers and colors for the wedding and during that meeting, she was very professional and knew what ideas we could work with and which ideas wouldn't work. Based on some of the ideas I came across on Pinterest, Amanda came up with the designs for the centerpieces and I absolutely loved them. My mother also met with Pattie and Amanda once during the time leading up to the wedding and absolutely loved how sweet they were and how professional they were. The day of the wedding, they brought our flowers to the venue and surprised us with an extra floral arrangement at no extra charge since they had extra flowers left over from the bouquets. We were extremely excited by this since we had only planned on have floral arrangements at the reception, in addition to the bouquets and boutonnieres. It turned out to be the perfect touch! The bouquets were gorgeous and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out. After the wedding, we received numerous compliments on how gorgeous the flowers were and how beautiful the arrangements were. My day of coordinator and mother also loved working with Pattie on the day of the wedding! All in all, I am so glad that I used The Elegant Bee as my florist for my wedding! I couldn't have asked for better service and better quality!

was more than I could have EVER imagined!! Pattie's attention to detail and talent is beyond words. She listened to my every desire in what I had wanted in flowers for my wedding and went above and beyond. Everyone, including myself, were breathless at the color and intricate designs in every bouquet, table top design, large floral arrangements on wine barrels and flowers in the archway at the alter on our big day. Just stunning!!! Thank you, thank you to The Elegant Bee!!

on to detail and knowledge is unparalleled. She truly made our wedding and reception world class. I have not been to another wedding that compared to the beauty she provided. And she was able to take our ideas and create something beyond our wildest dreams. There is none better. Period.

I'm not the most articulate about what I want or what I think is pretty as I have a hard time visualizing things from a blank palette. She was very patient with me and took the time to go through colors and types of flowers and other things I just didn't understand. She put me at such ease about all of these overwhelming decisions. Of all the vendors I worked with, I had the best experience with Pattie and her team. On our wedding day, I was absolutely blown away (and still am) by how beautiful the flowers were. Everything. It was just perfect. I could not have asked for anything more. They were so beautiful that my husband decided he had to at least attempt to preserve some of them. If you have the opportunity to work with Pattie and the Elegant Bee, I encourage you to go for it. You won't regret it!

still talking about how beautiful and magical everything looked! It was like a fairy tale. Patti listened to my daughter's desires and made them come alive in flowers.She and her entire team were amazing to work with. I never had to worry about how the flowers were going to turn out after our first meeting. I knew they would be perfect:}

ob on the wedding the next day also. I would recommend them to anyone planning an event.

t! The first time I met her for a consultation, I felt like we had been friends for years. She is very talented and gifted florist. Not only will she bring your vision to life but will exceed your expectations. The day of our wedding I was just blown away by all of her work. She puts so much heart and care into making your wedding day perfect and I am just so thankful that she was a part of our special day!

right were my flowers for my wedding. Elegant Bee really took my vision and ran with it creating the most whimsical day I could have ever imagined. Every center-piece, bouquet, and boutonniere was done perfectly. Every arrangement is full and beautiful. They are so knowledgable about floral design and really know how to make your dreams come true.

to accomplish the look that I wanted. As we were developing the big plan, other life circumstances started falling down around my fiance and I and the ladies with The Elegant Bee not only worked with our new budget, but stepped up and reminded me that there are beautiful, caring people in the world. You couldn't be in better hands than those of The Elegant Bee!

knowledge had to be found,so not to clash with fall leaves or underdo wedding flowers...I found her!! And boy did she deliver! I have seen Pattie's work before, in Texas, social sites and word of mouth. My daughter and I chatted with Pattie and knew she could handle this NC wedding challenge. Pattie was sent pictures of the venue, in NC. The groom's family farm. Which posed some challenges also. She was 100% in and loving the colors my daughter chose...rich, deep burgundy & plum. Bride's dress was off white, off white Cinderella pumpkins, baby pumpkins and the blueish-gray pumpkins, all played a part in Pattie's AMAZING designs! Her suggestions of some softer colors were added also and super advice by Pattie. IF I HAD ANY MORE SPACE IN THIS REVIEW, I COULD GO ON AND ON!! Please, just look at her website, Facebook page, Pinterest,and all other. You will truly be amazed. Call her! You will not be disappointed. (And guests, well, they are still talking about the flowers!!)

ke any other florist. If flowers are important to you choose the Elegant Bee. Words cannot do justice for how incredible this team is and for how happy we were with the flowers for our wedding day.
