Wallflower Designs

pt, timely, organized, and extremely helpful in guiding us to visualize and construct our ideas into a concept. Her office was clean, inviting, and complete with a broad selection of photos of her work and floral options. Marla also had several examples of vase and container selectionsfor us to pick from. We eventually decided upon a unique glass hob nail jar and rippled tin collection that kept our theme of rustic elegance alive! I can’t say I’ve seen these at anyone’s wedding before ours (we went to 8 weddings this year!) this made us feel the real uniqueness of Marla’s offerings. Marla even created a design preview of our large hanging ceremony piece and ensured that we had a vision of what our wedding day would look like. She was also great at reminding us what pieces we may have wanted but forgot to think about (grandmother corsages, rose ceremony hand outs, guest table additions.) We greatly appreciated that in discussions like these, and all others, that she did not push ideas or costs we were not looking for. She always respected our budget, and at no point felt pushy or overbearing. Each meeting felt like an afternoon with a friend. On the big day, we were finally able to enjoy Marla’s creations! I was absolutely blown away...I couldn’t even count how many guests gushed over the flowers that night. Their vibrant fragrance, their unique pairings, and excellent quality were a constant discussion even weeks after the wedding. Marla found not just gorgeous flowers but incredible grasses, fauna, and even seed pods to create incredible variation and different fall look. Marla even did work behind the scenes the night of the wedding that I didn’t catch as I bustled around. She helped us repurpose particular bouquets and floral arrangements to save on cost, and everything was completed seamlessly and without any disruption. If you want a reliable, imaginative, creative, and passionate florist to design for your wedding, Marla is absolutely it! I will recommend her to any bride for ANY design style for years to come. She was such a lucky find for us, and I just know she’s going to make every bride so happy as her heart is in her work!

, I got a sense of calm in talking to her. I know very little about flowers, and was unsure of what specifically I wanted, but in asking a few questions about my wedding in general, she was able to make suggestions on what we could do, and how it would work with my budget. She also shared images of her previous work, and we discussed styles I liked and disliked. It was clear in talking to her, that Marla is a master at her craft, and in hiring her, I could let her do what she does best! After signing the contract, we stayed in touch via email, and met in person once when I was back in IL. Marla was always easy to get in touch with, flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. We were able to rent items through her, such as votive candles and other details. While I know some brides prefer to buy items like these, since we live out of state in a tiny apartment, this was such a convenience! And on the big day, the flowers were oh so beautiful! Everything turned out better than I could have imagined, and we got so many compliments on the flowers, especially the bouquets and boutonnieres. I am truly grateful Marla was a part of our wedding and highly recommend her to any bride!

! We are so grateful to have worked with her! 10/10 would recommend!

wedding arch (Mandap). I was obsessed with the centerpieces she created for the reception. She was very easy to work with and such a nice person! She's not your typical wedding florist. If you want something unique please check out Wallflower Designs!

uld picture. LOVE her.

d and she helped us figure out exactly what we wanted. The bouquets were breathtaking, the centerpieces were absolutely beautiful, and she even put together an adorable little flower wand for our 15 month old flower girl to hold. Our guests were complimenting the flowers all evening. We were absolutely blown away and would highly recommend Wallflower to anyone.

my bouquet! She worked with my mom to surprise me that she took part of my grandmas wedding dress who passed away and wrapped it around the base of the flowers to make it even more special. She had us go through all different pictures and point out what we liked and did not like about them and was able to really customize the flowers to have everything perfect.

ots of different pictures so that I could tell her things I did and did not like. From those general concepts, she was able to craft a look that exactly matched what I was looking for. Marla was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. She was so sweet and calm, and easy to work with. Overall the flowers were exactly what I was looking for - from the bouquets and centerpieces, all the way down to the olive sprigs in the napkins, everything looked perfect. Her attention to detail really came through, and we received numerous compliments from friends and family. We can’t say enough about Marla, and would highly recommend Wallflower Designs for your wedding florals.

flower Designs, we had a great experience with them.

2018. I met with Marla, gave her my colors, a rough budget, and some of my favorite textures/flowers, and from there, complete creative freedom to be her artistic self! As I expected, Marla went above and beyond my expectations and created the most beautiful, dynamic, and vibrant arrangements. I got nothing but compliments and couldn't have been happier to use her masterpieces to accent my wedding venue and party. Thank you! Book with Marla and don't think twice. She is the best!

and always responsive to email and calls.

a, but after I talked with her I knew Marla was the florist I had been searching for! She takes the time to really understand your vision and then she takes that vision and makes it a million times better… so much better than you could ever possibly envision on your own. Marla made my jaw drop three different times on my wedding day; when I got my bouquet, when I was walking down the aisle and saw the pergola she so beautifully decorated and when I saw all the amazing table arrangements at the reception. It was absolutely stunning! I also have to mention that I was planning my wedding out of state. Marla went above and beyond to accommodate my long distance wedding planning and she is just fabulous to work with! I feel so lucky to have had Marla share her amazing work with us on our wedding day and I highly recommend her to every bride out there! THANK YOU MARLA!

ver could have imagined, and we received so many compliments from our guests on her work. I highly recommend Marl - you will not regret working with her for your wedding!

so romantic and so beautiful!

deco, reception hall deco, etc...). The planning process was easy and extremely detailed which made things a whole lot less stressful! One of the most amazing things about Marla is that I had absolutely no idea what I really wanted for our flowers - just an idea that I wanted rustic elegance made up of burgundy, ivory, and gold - she took this simple information and transformed it into a plan that exceeded expectations. Marla was also really great at working within our budget - giving us tips & tricks to get the look we wanted and not having to spend more than we wanted to get it. Wallflower Designs is a full service florist which really makes the big day stress free - a lot of my girlfriends had florists who simply dropped off flowers which then had to be set-up by either the bride and her "girls" or the venue. Working with Marla, however meant that she was there to set-up all flowers prior to the ceremony & reception and she even re-purposed ceremony flowers into the reception & dancing area after the ceremony!!! All I can say is if you want a knowledgeable florist, who is easy to work with, extremely organized, and who can make all your floral dreams come true - Wallflower Designs is the ONLY way to go!

looking for. Marla was SO patient with me, and worked with me to come up with exactly what I wanted. Marla was so professional and personal through the entire time I worked with her! She was very responsive and open to any changes that I made. When I walked into our reception it was breathtaking! What Marla created for us was above and beyond my expectations. Everything was beautiful! The way that she repurposed all of our flowers was seamless, and she made the process so easy! I could not have asked for anything more and would absolutely recommend that people use Marla for their wedding day! Thank you SO much Marla!

o work with. Love her!!

r wedding flowers were going to be our visual wow-factor element and needed to be extra special. Marla did not disappoint! She was so friendly and personable, and even though I was having a hard time turning my thoughts into words at our initial consultation, I felt like she totally understood the direction I was going and was prepared with pictures and suggestions on what would work with our vision and budget. She was organized and easily maneuvered multiple sets of quotes, my indecisiveness, special requests and last minute changes. She totally knocked it out of the park, and I can't tell you how many people remarked on how beautiful the bouquets and floral arrangements were. Marla and her team worked quickly to repurpose our ceremony flowers for the reception and were also on hand at the end of the night to help us pack away flowers to take home--something I totally did not expect! I absolutely loved working with Marla and what she did for us on our big day and recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding florist!

es were very competitive and fit in our budget perfectly. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Book her immediately!

e and I would highly recommend her!

ything else fell into place so perfectly under her artistic care and direction. It was everything I imagined and more!

actually ended up changing half way through anyways. Marla worked hard to make sure she understood my vision and brought it to life! She did an absolutely phenomenal job, she's a true artist. I would recommend her to absolutely anybody and would use her service again and again! Thank you, Marla!!

nsform our wedding into an elegant and memorable affair. Look no further for your florist.

uggestions, made excellent recommendations, and really came to understand my wedding day vision. On our second meeting, she showed my mom and I all of the flowers she planned to use, brainstormed ideas for vases that fit the theme, and took detailed notes about my wedding party, reception, and ceremony. She was professional the entire time, but also came to feel like a trusted friend. We felt completely confident in her execution of our wedding flower vision, often telling her “we trust you, Marla!” The week of the wedding, I stopped by to see her and drop off some personal items and she checked in to make sure I was calm and excited and even sent me off with a hug! On our wedding day, Marla met us at the church and identified all of my family members, bridal party members, and honored guests to provide them their flowers for the day. She also made sure the church was perfectly set-up and ready. Marla even stayed calm when I asked her, last-minute, to add a detail to my bridal bouquet that I had received from my Grandfather. But most importantly, Marla came to the bridal suite to meet me, make sure my flowers were perfect and ready to go, and to give me one last hug before heading down the aisle. At the Arboretum, where we were holding our reception, Marla made sure each and every single table was perfectly arranged. Her attention to detail and extensive dedication to our wedding day vision, ensured that it was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! But above all, the flowers! Oh the flowers! I cannot even describe how perfectly they complimented all of the other décor that I had spent over a year gathering, creating, and preparing for our wedding day. The flowers were the perfect combination of asymmetric, wild, elegant, metallic, fragrant and romantic – just what I had asked for. Every guest I’ve spoken to since our wedding has mentioned how perfect the flowers were. I highly recommend Marla of Wallflower Designs without any reservations at all. I wish I had another wedding to plan, just to get to work with her again!!

fect flower plan for our wedding! Marla has a great eye for details and was awesome setting up on our wedding day. Everyone complimented our flowers and they were unbelievably beautiful, Marla is amazing.
