Melissa truly has a gift when it comes to wedding florals. Faux florals are a game changer — no stress about flowers wilting, the ability to keep your bouquet post-wedding, specific flowers available any season, etc. I have my bouquet displayed on our kitchen table and it makes me smile every morning! Melissa made my Pinterest board come to life. Our wedding looked exactly how I envisioned it, thanks to her! Her eye for detail is unmatched and her talent in her craft is amazing.
We had guests come up multiple times complimenting us on florals and even asked to purchase them. I had to turn them down as they were all rentals! And she doesn’t just offer florals, we rented bud vases, pedestals and candles from her as well. Quotes from florists working with real flowers were mind blogging, but I got my dream florals thanks to Melissa’s rental option. Not only was renting an awesome financial decision, but Melissa did all the set up and clean up which made post wedding a breeze. It was amazing not having to worry about cleaning everything after the reception ended. She was in and out before I even realized!
Melissa takes the stress out of wedding planning. She’s communicative, talented and so kind. I can’t recommend her enough. Tully Floral Design is the best in the business and you won’t regret working with Melissa and her team! Thank you for everything!

From the start I was super interested in Melissa’s work because she uses faux florals - the idea of throwing away flowers after one night of use was a bummer, so the fact that she comes and picks up everything (other than bouquets, which you get to keep) after the event and uses them again and again made Tully Floral Design an immediate favorite for our wedding. Not to mention that I wouldn’t have to worry about how chucking a bouquet during the reception (or running into something and knocking it over) would destroy super fragile fresh flowers.
Aside from the practical aspect of faux florals, let me say: Melissa is a WIZARD at what she does. I had a very loose vision of what I wanted with a few key components (focus on hydrangeas + blue and purple with some pink thrown in) and she somehow managed to create EXACTLY what I couldn’t even verbalize to her! I was totally stunned, and so were all of our guests. Not to mention how she came back to the venue to flip the arrangements from ceremony to reception layout.
Melissa was super communicative and accommodating with any changes or requests and is just such a natural at this, and as a result I did not have one ounce of stress over our florals. I would choose Tully Floral Design again and again!

Melissa created the most beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding; she brought my "spring pastel garden vibe" vision to life and truly made our day feel so magical, I am so happy with everything she did for us.
Our May wedding brought rain along with it, but despite us being pushed inside for our ceremony, the arrangements and decorations she put together were incredibly easy and simple to move around, and they really elevated our ceremony/reception and made me forget about the pouring rain outside!
She is a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Melissa was amazing to work with. We had last minute bridal party changes and she immediately had the solution and changed ideas accordingly. She was very responsive always and just I could not be happier with her as a person lol. Not to mention the quality and product delivered. The flowers were amazing and so life like. The colors were perfect and looked amazing with my dress. Cannot recommend enough.

Melissa knocked our wedding flowers out of the park!! She brought my Pinterest board to life! She was so amazing to work with and was always there whenever I had questions or needed advice on my vision. As a bride that was on a budget but had a very specific vision, when I found Tully Floral Design it was like I struck gold! We got so many compliments on our flowers and everyone was so shocked when we told them them were faux, that they never would have guessed. I will recommend Melissa a million times over, we couldn’t have had our dream wedding without her!
Working with Melissa at Tully Floral for our wedding was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we began discussing our vision, it was clear that Melissa was not just a florist, but an artist with an extraordinary talent for creating breathtaking arrangements.
One of the reasons we chose faux florals was the flexibility they offered, and Melissa certainly delivered. She took the time to understand our theme, color palette, and personal style, and then worked their magic to create arrangements that exceeded our wildest expectations.
I live out of town but Melissa was able to pack and ship all of the florals to me in New Mexico. The attention to detail in each bouquet, centerpiece, and floral accent was simply remarkable. Not only were the flowers incredibly lifelike, but they also maintained their beauty throughout the entire day.
Thank you so much! I highly recommend!

Tully Floral Design was absolutely fantastic!! From communication, collaboration, seeing the vision, and executing in every way possible. Even a last minute (day before wedding) arch floral design which my partner and I thought was impossible, Melissa made possible and so beautifully made! 10/10 service in all the ways. Thank you for making our wedding a dream come true.

Melissa is amazing! She was so kind and supportive in any situation, she gave such great advice, and look at her artistry. It speaks for itself. I came into a situation with another florist, where I was worried that my real flowers were going to wilt before the day of the wedding. Melissa offered to bring us centerpieces the morning of our wedding, and I could not thank her enough for being there for us on our big day. I suggest that anyone uses her as their floral vendor for their wedding or any other special occasion.

I can’t say enough about Melissa and Tully Floral Design! There seems to be a stigma around using faux flowers but these were beautiful! We were able to meet with Melissa before committing to get a feel for what we could expect, which was a nice touch. Communication was amazing the whole time and she really made our vision come true. I was able to see preview photos and make any changes (though I didn’t need to make many because they were already amazing). My bouquet is now a centerpiece on our dining room table. I highly recommend Tully for your floral needs!

Tully Florals exceeded our expectations in every way. Their faux florals looked absolutely wonderful and held up beautifully throughout the day. Melissa did an outstanding job delivering on the exact vision we sent her, and the colors were a perfect match because we didn't have to worry about seasonal limitations. What's even more impressive is that they were well under our budget, allowing us to incorporate more florals and greenery into our decor. We highly recommend Tully Florals to any couple looking for stunning and budget-friendly floral arrangements!

Going with artificial I never thought we would be able to fully achieve the look we wanted. But after seeing Melissa’s previous work we knew we had to pick her. Our florals were more gorgeous than I ever would’ve expected. We wanted clean, simple, and elegant. We got that and so much more. No going back to fresh florals!!

Working with a tight floral budget, I never dreamed that my flowers could be so beautiful!! Working with Tully Floral Design was not a sacrifice in ANY sense of the word. I felt like a VIP at every stage- from planning and sharing my vision, to pickup with ease, to using my gorgeous flowers on my wedding day AND now forever as a centerpiece on my table. Faux flowers are the way to go, and Tully Floral Design is the person to do them for you- NO DOUBT!

Overall, we loved what we got from Tully Floral Design. The bouquet and accessory arrangements were beautiful. The best thing about their services was the amazing prices we got for the arrangements. We were not keen on using live flowers, as they are wasteful and overly expensive. We loved the flowers we got; everything from the bouquet & boutonnieres to the table pieces was excellently arranged. Tully Floral Designed listened to our choices and preferences; we feel that our floral designs were personalized and unique. Our only critique is that we did not see our final arrangements until the day of our event. We were never given any sort of previews or asked if we liked anything Tully Floral Design was working on. A little more communication later on in the process would have been appreciated. We still loved everything we paid for and would gladly recommend Tully Floral Design to anyone looking for affordable and excellent floral arrangements in an industry filled with overpriced flowers. Melissa, thank you so much for making our special night look beautiful with your wonderful arrangements.

I can’t recommend Melissa enough. She was incredibly easy to work with and accommodating to let us come see her work in person to get my mom on board with silk flowers. The arrangements were all exactly as I imagined. Day of, there was 0 stress. I came out and everything was arranged and she picked up that evening. I’m so happy I went with silk flowers and now get to enjoy my bridal bouquet everyday! Biggest bonus? I paid half of what was quoted by traditional florists for the same amount of flowers. I didn’t have to skimp on anything.

Our bouquets, centerpieces, and other decorations provided by Melissa were absolute perfection! She got our colors down perfectly and delivered everything seamlessly.
She was great, the price point saved us so much money, and with the silk flowers we can keep them forever. Thank you, Melissa!

I was so pleased with Melissa and her beautiful floral creations! She made my bridal bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, centerpieces, a barrel topper, gazebo garland, and boutonnieres for an AMAZING price. She arrived at our venue on time to set up the flowers and worked with my coordinator (even went out of her way to help fix decorations that had blown over from the wind!). Picked up the decorations without me even knowing she was there and I was so surprised to find out that I got to keep my beautiful wedding bouquets. I would recommended her to anyone who asks.
Tully Floral is flexible, efficient, talented, and great at communicating with the bride.

Melissa was great to work with and all of the flowers looked amazing. I love that we got to keep my bouquet and they will last forever. You can’t tell that the flowers are faux, and the ease of it is priceless. Melissa was very helpful and responds very quick. She was very flexible with us having a venue pretty far away and made it so easy for us to return the rentals back to her.

I knew from the start I wanted artificial flowers because we wanted to have a wedding shelf display that included the bouquets from the wedding. I found Tully Floral Design through Wedding Wire and loved the images of previous work. Melissa was great to work with and turned my inspiration photos into beautiful bouquets that were exactly what I had hoped for. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for artificial flowers.

Melissa was wonderful to work with! She created florals that were perfect for our big day and met our vision perfectly. You will not be disappointed. At first, I was nervous to choose faux florals, but her work is amazing and you really cannot even tell they are faux! We had so many compliments. Her services are are affordable and the pricing allows you to get a lot more for your money than real florals! She also came and set everything up the day of the wedding and that was a huge help! I would recommend her to any couple looking to have a lot of beautiful florals at their wedding for a great price. She was so sweet to work with and took great care of us throughout the entire process!

Melissa was amazing to work with. She was recommended by a friend. What I loved about the service was she worked with me and my budget and everything is rented so you do not have to worry about selling anything after the wedding is over! I did not worry about anything the day of since she was so organized! She set up all of our centerpieces and head table and came back at the end of the night to take it down. Would recommend her to everyone!

Melissa was so amazing and brought my dreams to life. She was actually double booked for the day so she put all of our arrangements together early and dropped them off to us & gave us a slight discount because of it! She even came to the venue to pick up the rental pieces after the reception so we wouldn’t have to worry about it!

We used Tully Floral Design for our wedding and we literally LOVED everything!! From the perfect bouquets, the flower walls for backdrops for pictures, centerpieces, and a beyond beautiful pergola garland everyone was SPEECHLESS!! (And you CANNOT tell they are fake!!!) Not only was Tully Floral Design a budget-friendly pick but we chose to price our bouquets and boutonnieres to keep so we have a piece of our wedding to keep forever! Melissa literally did a flawless job setting everything up and collected all of the rental pieces before my husband and I were even awake the next morning. Not only is she fantastic at what she does but she is also a wonderful person to work with!!! We cannot thank Melissa enough for making our wedding beautiful with her work!!

I met Melissa at the Wedding Expo in Milwaukee about a year and a half before my September 2020 wedding. Her beautiful floral designs drew me to her booth, and at first, I could not tell that her floral designs were artificial. I loved the sustainability aspect of her work, how she's able to reuse and recycle her floral pieces; plus her prices are SO reasonable! When covid hit about six months before our wedding date, Melissa was so responsive and understanding as we changed our plans. Under a new contract, she was able to provide the floral decor for our intimate ceremony on our original date, as well as my bridal bouquet, and we were able to update the date and payment schedule on our current contract for our postponed reception. Melissa did such a fabulous job creating the floral decor for our intimate wedding, and I cannot wait to see her creations at our postponed reception this year! It was a joy to work with her once, and one blessing of covid is that I get to work with her on two occasions. 100% recommend Tully Floral Design!

We loved Tully Floral Design! Melissa was easy to work with, and everything turned out beautiful. Everyone was shocked that the flowers in our bouquets weren't real, and even my groom complimented how nice the bouquets were. We rented greenery from her for the centerpieces, which was beautiful and prevented us from taking home a lot of unneeded garlands. The value for everything was amazing. We had payed the same amount for my bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, and the corsages and boutonnieres that we had originally budgeted for my bouquet alone. We would highly recommend Melissa at Tully Floral Design!
