Violets Are Blue Floral Design

at photos of all the centerpieces and floral decor- thank you VAB- Courtney and team for making our wedding goal dreams come true!

o a FaceTime contact meeting with her, and I could still not believe the ease with which Courtney and co. were able to handle my every need! I didn't have a super clear vision for the flowers, just wanted them to be jeweled tone themed, and they were everything I ever dreamed! Courtney took my limited ideas and made me exactly what I had had in mind. I 100% recommend Violets are Blue for any Indianapolis wedding. We were able to get everything I wanted within my budget and it all looked AMAZING. Thank you!!

tighter budget. She also set me up with a pinterest page for she and I to put images and inspo on, which was awesome! Then the BIG DAY finally came around and OH MY GOODNESS. Breathtaking florals, friends! I received SO MANY compliments on my bouquet, the bridesmaids, the centerpieces ... all of it. Seriously, stop looking and just work with Violets Are Blue. You will love it!!!!!!

me until I was happy with every detail! She even listened to me ramble about all the vague ideas I had and turned them into reality, which is crazy since what I wanted was definitely not traditional. I can't thank her enough for all her hard work!

ful (13 Bridesmaids and then my own!) and every table at the reception was better than I ever expected ! Our guests constantly commented on the flowers as well. I am so happy she was our florist and would highly recommend. Thank you for making our day so beautiful Courtney !

o let me see a photo of the bridal bouquet beforehand so I could make 1 last minute decision about a certain flower. I really appreciated that. CONS: The wrist corsages were overpriced and wilted quickly, they were brown for photographs. There was very little greenery and no accent floral (even though we did agree to adding it at a later date). The floral inserts for 2 topiaries also wilted quickly and did not include the water tubes as quoted. We weren't aware of this until after the event. These were also overpriced. The bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets were both pretty by themselves, but as a whole they were not cohesive visually. This was disappointing. Also the ribbon on the bridal bouquet ended up brown and stained from sitting in water. The table arrangements were quoted to include ivy. There was very little greenery, and no ivy in any of them. The decoration at the base of the staircase was unimpressive. Greenery was used, but looked skimpy and hastily wrapped around the fabric that was used. This was quoted to include floral, but again, very little was used. This piece was embarrassing to have as the first floral piece that guests saw as they came up the stairs. Even though we specifically asked for babies breath to be used generously, very little was used in any arrangement. We contacted Courtney after the wedding to express our concerns. We were told that we should have looked at everything before she left the venue and informed her about what was incorrect. We definitely had no time to check her work while getting prepared for the wedding. She was expected to do a professional job, use the flowers/techniques that we were invoiced for, and to meet professional florist standards. If we had it to do over again, we would chose someone who had worked with a professional florist, and had taken a professional design course. Her lack of training and overall design finesse were very apparent on the wedding day. I was hopeful, but ended up being very disappointed overall.

anning process was very simple and organized, as Courtney had all of the right questions ready to ensure not one detail was missed. She even set up a Pinterest board to get a better idea of our wedding style and vision, and absolutely nailed it. Our flowers were beautiful and I am thankful to have chosen VAB for our special day. Thank you for making our day even more beautiful!

n was solid, and she delivers what can only be described as a work of art. She worked with me to figure out the right size and flowers that would fit my budget and at the same time look incredible. BOOK HER!

many compliments on how beautiful the flowers were on our wedding day. Everything was just perfect from the very beginning to the very end, and I am SO happy that we chose Violets are Blue!!

nailed it. She responds quickly and even if you change your mind 10 times! I couldn't of asked for a better florist or experience. Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers!!

effort even with unforeseen events. Very easy to work with. Would highly recommend

process and helped me identify what I was wanting for my wedding. Then she so kindly spent time at a follow-up meeting with my mom (who LOVES florals and decor) where we made a few adjustments and even added in some fun things. Part of my wedding was scheduled to be outside, but due to weather we moved everything inside. Courtney and her team KILLED it with the change of plans. I felt like I walked in to a fairy tale land when I arrived to the venue. The small touches like candles and sprigs of rosemary were exactly what I wanted. Not to mention, nothing was overpriced or unreasonable. I had many people asking after the wedding who my florist was and I was so excited to share with them my experience. Take a consultation meeting with Courtney and you'll see what I mean. She made my day more beautiful than I could event have imagined.

ble to fill in the rest for me and her results blew me away. I particularly loved the floral curtains she made as a backdrop for my ceremony. I'm still getting compliments on them! She also added some greenery to a mantle behind the head table, and I had no idea it would look as good as it did. Our bouquets were incredible. Given all this, her pricing is very reasonable. I'm pretty sure this girl can do anything, so if there is something you want done, ask her! I would recommend VAB to anyone!

at we wanted, even when we didn't have an idea ourselves. She was there and keeping us updated the entire time during the wedding. Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and and glad we went with Violets Are Blue!

ly professional, and took Time during our consultation to truly discover our vision. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and I can’t imagine our day without them. We have received so many compliments. I would recommend her over and over again. She’s the best.

uets were put together perfectly and stayed looking flawless throughout the hot August day. The centerpieces at the wedding photographed gorgeously, and were exactly what I had in mind! Everything was ready right on time for us to pick up the day before, and since we chose to set it up ourselves, she had detailed instructions on how everything needed to be set up. It was goof proof! For her pricing, her friendliness, and her clear experience with floral design, I absolutely recommend Courtney and Violets are Blue for anyone looking for wedding flowers! Thank you Courtney!

Courtney is the sweetest person and wants everyone's wedding day to be so special! Thank you, Courtney!

and made something so beautiful we couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect. When I saw my bouquet on the day of the wedding, I about died!! Beyond what the flowers looked like, Courtney was flexible with the many changes, even up to the couple days before the wedding. She is a balance of professional and personable which makes th experience of working with her the opposite of stressful. We would highly recommend working with Violets Are Blue for your event needs-I hope we get the chance to use them again for our future events.

me actual names as well as approximate prices of the flowers during my wedding season. My biggest request was that we try to keep the cost low. She worked hard with me to come up with a beautiful selection that fit my style while also not breaking the bank. She also was able to deliver the day of my wedding to my reception and ceremony which worked out so well and really was exceptionally smooth. Lastly, she was very flexible with me. While my major flowers did not change, the amount of flowers that I needed did change. She was able to quickly add an additional couple of centerpieces about a week and a half before my wedding. While it’s ideal to have the flowers selected well before this timeline, things can change and knowing that Courtney had my back in this situation was so huge. Very thankful for her dedication and I would highly recommend her.

Courtney was also very friendly and nice to talk to! Courtney really brought our floral vision to life on our special day! I showed Courtney a picture of my desired bridal bouquet and she did a fantastic job creating a bouquet that looked the same. She also did an amazing job creating a handsome boutineer with hypericum berries, which I requested. I loved the hair flowers she picked out for me- they were beautiful! I also liked the flowers she suggested for the bridesmaids bouquet- they were really special. I loved the centerpieces and the floral arrangement at the bar. I was so pleased! My only complaint it that it took Courtney awhile to get back to emails. However, this did not in any way compromise the superb service I received the day of the wedding! I highly recommend her work!

couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

ier. She was also so excited about what little I knew about flowers and asked many questions. She was very organized, and made changes to the plan for the followers for the wedding when I wanted to make changes. On the wedding day, her flowers really made the wedding reception so beautiful. The centerpieces were creative, gorgeous and added so much color to the table. Her corsages and boutinnieres were lovely as well. The petals that she added to the cupcake table were also so beautiful. She was so professional - I had my ceremony, reception in two different cities and she figured out how to get to both locations without my having to worry about anything on the day of. Hire her, you will not be disappointed. She is an absolute pleasure to work with also because she has a great attitude, she is warm, sunny and has an energy that is infectious. :-)

y was patient and professional as we worked through a better vision. She even made suggestions to help me keep the price range in my budget. I was so grateful! My wedding day bouquet was absolutely beautiful and the arrangement stayed beautiful even after I came home from my week-long honeymoon! My centerpieces, corsages, boutonnieres and bridal party bouquets were simple yet elegant - exactly what I needed! I would recommend VAB to any bride!

lly given her the floor to make what she felt would go best based on pictures of my dress and the flowers that I was incorporating in other facets of my wedding decor, and she knocked it out of the park. The bouquet was so much more elegant than I ever expected but still fit the theme and feel of our day! It's as though she gave me the bouquet I didn't even know that I wanted! I really felt like she did her job as the artist and florist to take what small cues I gave her to design what I wanted for my day. Thank you again!!

remony and reception. There is no way I could have come up with these ideas on my own - she brought such a unique and creative perspective that I so appreciate. Our wedding was so much more beautiful than I had ever pictured in my head, and Courtney played a huge part in that. On top of her creative genius, she is the sweetest person to work with, and I always looked forward to our meetings in Hubbard & Cravens :)

out whether she would do a good job or whether she would try to make us spend more money... She stuck right to our budget, answered all of my silly questions promptly, and delivered the most gorgeous flowers on our wedding day. They exceeded my expectations, and everyone commented on how beautiful they were. I would absolutely recommend Courtney and VAB to anyone - she was amazing!

ely and everything went smoothly once she landed in Texas. I highly recommend Courtney and Violets Are Blue! 10/10!

e to give some last minute feedback, which was terrific. She provided everything we needed to install the arrangements (we picked them up), and everything went off without a hitch.

ed to and recorded every detail. And, more importantly. brought it to life. We highly recommend Violets Are Blue to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable florist!

old fashioned, and pushy. However, when I met with Courtney she changed my entire perspective on florals- she is so genuinely talented, creative, and down to earth. She literally went step by step with me through every book of flower types she had (literally 10+ books) in order to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, and she made my million-dollar dreams come to life within the budget I had! I was blown away, and you can tell that Courtney is passionate and cut from a different cloth than other florists in Indy. She has the qualities of the most beautiful flower- fresh, springy, and beautiful. Working with her was the easiest part of the whole wedding planning- she took care of everything, communicated so well, and made sure I had nothing to worry about (which is hard because I'm a worry wart). I wasn't surprised when my mother-in-law (who is a wedding coordinator for her local church!) ended up sharing with me that every bride she worked with who used Violets are Blue had the BEST floral arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres. Florals really do impact the entire look of the wedding and it was crystal clear on my wedding day that I made the right choice. Everything was stunning and really showcased what my husband and I wanted our celebration to look like. People couldn't stop complimenting our arrangements, too! All in all, I really loved working with Violets are Blue and wish I could tell every bride in person that Courtney is the right choice for you. I wouldn't change a thing about the whole process and love looking back at our pictures and remembering what she did for us. Thank you, Courtney and VAB, for making our day so beautiful!!!!

ghtly more expensive because of how accommodating they seemed. Wow, we were wrong. The day of the wedding, they didn't show up to the ceremony till only about 25 minutes until it was supposed to start and offered no apologies or anything to us. They almost didn't have the flowers setup before the wedding let alone before guests got there. On top of that, the groomsman's flowers were all wilted by they time they put them on and did not meet our rather relaxed standards. The bridesmaid's bouquets were dark purple even though we requested light pink and finally, my wife's bouquet wilted before the ceremony was over and had bug eaten greenery in it which was not appealing. Overall it was not a good experience with them and I personally would not recommend them after the experience we had because of the stress they caused and their poor execution and attention to details.

met with Courtney of Violets Are Blue to discuss doing the flowers for my daughters wedding. It turns out that she was the only florist we spoke to because we took a crazy leap of faith that day and hired her on the spot (we did not know her or her company at all)! Sometimes dreams do come true, and that's how we felt about what Courtney and Violets Are Blue created for us. She took our vision and made it into a dream reality, actually better than we envisioned. Weeks later my daughter and I are still talking about the flowers and wedding guests are still commenting about them. I honestly felt I was in a heavenly wedding garden, it was that beautiful. She also made our chuppah (wedding canopy) for us and it too was stunning - an ethereal & romantic setting for the marriage ceremony. Courtney was wonderful to work with, she had fabulous suggestions, and she answered emails and made any changes we requested immediately. Plus, as an added bonus she is very calm and organized, exactly what you need during the stress of wedding planning. I still can't thinking about how beautiful the flowers were and how they created a dream wedding for my daughter. Honestly, hiring Violets Are Blue was on of my best on the spot decisions ever! What are you waiting for - hire them!

ting chart, to the draping of the fabric around the chuppah (wedding canopy). She was so easy to work with and completely open to my ideas and last minute changes too. I would use Courtney again for any event!

le working with my budget! The flowers and centerpieces were perfect and she accommodated last minute requests!

deas, made sure it all went together beautifully, and definitely knows her stuff. Unfortunately, I found out after my consultation that my venue does their own floral, so while we were unable to use VAB, I would definitely recommend it to others. I will be keeping them in mind for future floral needs without a doubt!

ed wedding flowers that were more beautiful than I could have imagined. She nailed everything I wanted. Thank you, Courtney!

ing my budget in mind. She didn't try to up-sell me and she was very respectful. Courtney was very patient when I changed my mind back and forth about some things. She was also always very prompt and thorough in her responses to me, I never had to hunt her down for answers! I would recommend VAB to anyone who wants a florist they can trust & not have to worry if their vision will be executed!!

ded all expectations and made our dreams a reality. The floral decor was very important to us and their work was absolutely flawless in every way. Thank you for making our day absolutely beautiful and for taking our breath away. We still have guests 2 1/2 months after our special day just swooning over our floral arrangements. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did and we are so glad that we found you!

to help fix the bouquet the day of the wedding. She did try very hard to fix the bouquet and for that I am thankful. However, throughout the night, the flowers continued to fall out of the bouquet at the slightest, and I mean slightest, movement. The roses were actually falling out of the bouquet as I walked down the aisle; not good. The price was good, comparatively, but I also was made aware of the old adage "you get what you pay for."

work is of the highest quality and she is so fun to work with, which made the wedding planning process fun. I highly recommend working with Courtney and VAB!

d to have the best! The lead designer, Courtney, was absolutely incredible. We gave her our vision and budget, and she ROCKED it! I wouldn't have been able to do the floral part of my wedding without her! I can't wait until my friends start getting married so I can proudly recommend Violets are Blue! And since I'll most likely be planning them (I'm an Event Planner in the real world), I can't wait to work with Courtney again!

and worked diligently to help me plan to stay within budget. We worked together to determine where I could cut back and where it was important to spend. The pictures I provided her came to life better than I could've imagined. Her response time was the best of any vendor I worked with throughout my entire engagement. I would highly recommend to any bride or event planner looking for thoughtful guidance, attention to detail, reasonable and budget friendly prices, outstanding response time, and all around some of the best service I've ever received as a customer, let alone as a bride. Thank you Courtney and Violets Are Blue!!!

beautiful bouquet and reception flowers that fit what I wanted perfectly! Courtney has an amazing passion for creating flower arrangements and a wonderful ability to transform words and ideas into exactly what you had been dreaming of!

eautiful bouquets I have ever seen. I honestly could not stop looking at them. The handful of sparkly brooches she put in there were the perfect touch to make the whole thing amazing, as well as serving as my something borrowed and blue! And then there was the reception.. My goodness it was amazing! Candelabras and giant martini glasses filled with pearls - the whole atmosphere was so Gatsby, I was in love! I won't ever stop recommending her, and I'm currently trying to think up another event where I could work with her again on! Thank you so much Courtney for making our day a beautiful one!

y was more than willing to meet me again to go over floral choices and make little updates along the way. After seeing more photos of her work, I knew that I could trust that what she envisioned with my scattered ideas. My florals exceeded my already high expectations. Absolutely gorgeous!!!! My guests were also impressed with the beautiful set and selection of flowers. I highly recommend the VAB team!

n - her passion for floral design was evident and I knew we would be in good hands. I shared my vision with her and let her do the rest, and it was truly the best decision I could have made. Everything was beyond my expectations. I am still in awe of my stunning bridal bouquet! She was very conscious of our budget and responded quickly to any questions or changes I had throughout the planning process. I highly recommend Violets Are Blue to any brides looking for a florist!

nly thing I know about them is that they need water to survive. When I meet with Courtney from Violets Are Blue, she was incredibly helpful and walked me through the choices and made sure we hit all the essentials. She created a Pinterest board and, from that, we were able to figure out what I wanted. Courtney did a WONDERFUL job taking what I had pinned and bringing it to reality in a creative and budget-friendly way. She was a delight to work with, and our flowers were beautiful! I would highly recommend Violets Are Blue to anyone!

on early on in the wedding planning process. I basically let her take the reigns on my floral arrangements and as usual she worked her magic. I received so many compliments from my wedding guests on how lovely my flowers were, and I couldn't stop raving either! Courtney certainly has an eye for making your floral vision become reality!

ut the event. She was immediately responsive to us throughout the planning, and had tons of affordable ideas to make the event even better than I expected. She integrated our bicycle theme in to the wedding with very classy accents. The cherry on top was the actual flowers. Seeing our flowers invoked an emotional reaction of happy tears from me - "Ms. Indifferent". They were breathtaking and I received many compliments from my wedding guests. I would recommend Courtney and her team to anyone.

due to her brother getting married (which she shared with me from day one), she had another florist who could step-in and help out and did a WONDERFUL job as well! I would definitely recommend Courtney and Violets are Blue... she is the only florist I met with and did not disappoint!

the flowers in the garden. We waited till about a month before our wedding to figure out what we wanted and then we found Violets are Blue. After the first meeting it was obvious that Courtney understood that we wanted to flowers in the setting to shine and the flowers for the bridal party to compliment the space. She also took our inability to explain exactly what we wanted and combine that with what we did not want to come up with what was ideal for us. Not only did they take our indecisiveness about flowers and turn it into a beautiful vision, they also were willing to work with our budget. Additionally, the day of the wedding the flowers where hand delivered to us along with all the parts labeled with what they were and who was to where them. This made distributing easy and quick. When we need flowers in the future, the first call we will make will be to Violets are Blue.

loves her job and has a real talent for what she does. I absolutely recommend you get in touch with her- she's amazing!

nts in our budget! It was also a plus that we were able to rent the centerpiece vases for our flowers here as well. I would highly recommend using Violets Are Blue for any future floral design needs!

utonnieres was more beautiful than I pictured it would be! We got tons of compliments on how gorgeous the center pieces were! I can't say enough how much we loved every piece of their work!

having a small budget and gave me a beautiful design while not exceeding what I hoped to spend. She is so great to work with and I've recommended her to other brides. Hire her!

uld and would not work within my budget. From start to finish she was so easy to work with, extremely responsive, and great at generating ideas. As a bride with very minimal knowledge of flowers and simply a color scheme and vision desired for the wedding, Courtney was instrumental in helping ideas come to life and making everything come together. My wedding was absolutely beautiful and Courtney and her business played a large part in the beauty!

ar as what flowers I wanted, but Courtney asked all the right questions to help me figure out what I liked. I knew what I wanted the overall look to be, and she made it happen. Her floral designs complemented my other decor beautifully, and she was incredibly easy to work with. I told her I wanted color, texture, bright fall flowers, rich hues - and she delivered!! We also hired Courtney to coordinate day-of activities for the wedding, which was completely priceless. She made a lot of decisions on the fly that made things go smoothly and look beautiful, both with the florals and with other things. I cannot recommend Violets are Blue more highly!

lower selections and communicated efficiently by sending pictures, examples and giving us expert advice on what flowers to chose that would go best with our theme and colors. She truly wants her customers to be happy and proved that she will go above and beyond to make sure her clients have exactly what they are looking for. She wants your wedding flowers to look as gorgeous and beautiful as you (the bride/ groom) want them to look and it shows through her work, time and dedication to her brides. I highly recommend Courtney and Violets are Blue- Indianapolis for any event. She will not disappoint you!

budget. She truly cares about her clients and enjoys being a part of the planning. My flowers were gorgeous, without them my wedding wouldn't have been complete. I am forever thankful that I found her!

. So helpful and so flexible! Thank you Courtney!

ing without her. She not only accommodated every request I made but also got a feel for what I wanted the vibe to be like at the wedding and continued to make suggestions in the planning process. Did I mention that she did all of this at a completely affordable price? I had several guests at the wedding (who are currently planning their own weddings) ask who did my flowers. I proudly told them Violet are Blue! To anyone looking for a great florist that is not only talented but also extremely fun to work with, this company is perfect for you!

ifferent options to help me create a perfect vision for my wedding day! The day of my wedding, i was blown away with how gorgeous my bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets as well. Her creations made my ceremony site and reception room look stunning. I would definitely recommend using violets are blue!

could have picked for myself and she was very conscious of my budget and made everything work for me. Made my wedding and pictures an incredible experience!

wedding, I was so excited and amazed by what she was able to do for my venue. She exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her to any one, as I have already don't to some of my other friends getting married!

te rose bulbous bouquets... and that is exactly what Violets are Blue is! This was very apparent the first time I met with her. We had an informal meeting at Starbucks and chatted, brainstormed and looked at photos of every possible thing I could have ever wanted flower-wise at my wedding. When I left, I knew that I would probably have to scale back on some of my ideas due to our budget. However, I was so pleasantly surprised that she was able to give me everything I wanted within my budget! She was the first florist I called, the first florist I met with.... and I booked her immediately before anyone else could snatch her up on my date, because I was so impressed at our first meeting. The flowers totally make the wedding. For us, we didn't have much decor except for the flowers so the quality and wow-factor was important to me. This is why you should hire Violets are Blue. We had an elegant wedding in a barn and a lot of my inspiration came from Pinterest. (Ladies, you know all those photos that you wish YOUR wedding could be like?) She captured our rustic, natural, romantic feel EXACTLY and I truly feel that she gave us the Pinterest wedding of my dreams. I gave her vague suggestions like, "Make our head table the center of attention" and "I hate traditional" and it was like she was inside my brain because everything turned out how I imagined. Not to mention, she is super sweet and very easy to work. I loved that she sent me sneak peaks of my centerpieces the day before the wedding. But she kept the bouquet a secret :) She even hand delivered all of our bouquets to the hotel room we were getting ready in. It is apparent that Courtney can work with any style, any budget, any vision. I am so happy that she was a part of our special day and I would recommend her to anyone!

lower formula” I was looking for; I just knew I pictured very romantic and elegant pieces to match the Victorian feel I was going for. After some discussions about flowers I liked and disliked and my wedding colors, I felt like Courtney immediately understood my vision. I truly felt like she wanted to make me happy and design the perfect flowers for me. Her passion and talent were evident to me early on. She was very prompt in getting me a very detailed proposal and I was pleasantly surprised at how low her pricing was in comparison to other quotes I had received, so needless to say, the decision to choose Violets Are Blue as our florist was an easy and fast decision. During the entirety of the planning, if ever any changes were needed to the proposal, she immediately made the updates and she was also very prompt in answering emails and calls. I felt very confident in my decision with Violets Are Blue and on my wedding day, when I saw my flowers for the first time, I actually shed tears because they were even more beautiful than I expected. At one point during the planning process, my husband was hesitant about the expense of flowers in general, but when he walked in the reception and saw the centerpieces, the first thing he said was, “these flowers were worth every penny!” I think his reaction speaks volumes about her talent. I would recommend Violets Are Blue for every type of bride and every type of wedding. Courtney can capture any vision.

highly recommend her!

y to work with & a great communicator! Violets Are Blue Floral Design is highly recommended!
