My mom and step-dad wanted to surprise me with real flowers for our wedding day instead of the fake ones I wanted to go with. My mom went with Waukesha Floral because she’s been a customer here for decades. Let me tell you, Waukesha Floral DELIVERED my vision on our wedding day! We worked with Denise and she made my vision come to life. Everything was so gorgeous. They were so easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs. I 100% recommend booking them for your wedding florals!!

A dream come true. Everything we experienced was extremely professional, tailored to us and we were given options in our budget. The amount of compliments we recieved on the floral arrangements were endless. I’m glad that we decided to increase our budget to match the inspiration we had from Pinterest and other ideas, it was 100% worth it. Day of set up was very easy and well worth a small delivery/ set up fee. Highly recommend.

Denise did a fabulous job on my bridal bouquet! It turned out even better than the inspo picture I shared with her :) Communication was easy for us with Waukesha Floral and we felt very comfortable working with Denise at Waukesha Floral. We were on a stricter budget for our wedding, so what we loved about Waukesha Floral that made us feel comfortable to book with them was that it was truly a-la carte and the price point was very reasonable! The quality was perfect and it showed that Denise put a lot of thought and care into our florals for our wedding. The photos speak for themselves! Thank you so much to Denise at Waukesha Floral for creating stunning floral pieces for us!

Amazing. From the floral arrangements they created on our wedding arch, to the bouquets, to the boutonnieres. Everything was flawless and beautiful. Denise was exceptionally easy to work with, very professional and upfront about potential costs, and was never pushy. She really made me feel special as a bride and was sure to make sure everything they were doing was exactly what I envisioned.

Working with Denise was such a pleasant and easy experience from start to finish! This was the only florist I looked at that actually showed me pictures of the flowers she was talking about and look she was considering! Since the flowers were such a major part of our wedding and reception I wanted that visual touch and Denise delivered. Waukesha Floral also has a designated wedding display room which was such a helpful touch. We rented pieces through them and appreciated seeing them in person beforehand. Denise also helped us by giving us an idea of where our budget could take us, keeping us within that budget, and helping us decide where to focus it. We loved working with her and absolutely would do so again!

Waukesha Floral & Greenhouse created our wedding flower FAIRYTALE! We we completely blown away by Denise! Her exceptional customer service, accomodations and expertise helped us to have the most tremendous wedding flowers. Just look at these photos!
Walking into our wedding day we were amazed at what Denise was able to create! Denise and team outfitted our wedding space to absolute PERFECTION. I cried walking in and seeing all our vases outfitted with the most amazing arrangement of flowers.
I appreciated all the time I had with Denise to plan and coordinate during our year of planning. She listened to what I wanted, but also spoke up when she had recommendations, and helped us fill in the gaps with her flower knowledge and creativity. You could tell she had a passion for flowers, but an even bigger one to ensure our flowers were what we wanted for our special day.
We picked the most amazing florist and we cannot thank Denise and Waukesha Floral and Greenhouse enough. We had the most wonderful and dreamy wedding day!
THANK YOU - THANK YOU!

Denise has so much talent!!! I am obsessed with lights and northern lights and she made all my crazy dreams come true! I wanted northern light colors and fairy lights and all my center pieces had fairy lights in them! Everyone was talking about my centerpieces and everyone took my centerpieces! People were just amazing at how beautiful they look! Denise listened to all my needs and made my bouquet look amazing! Everyone said my bouquet looks so beautiful! I did no greenery, but rose gold and I was so happy when I saw it. I preserved my bouquet and so did two of my bridesmaids! It was an awesome day thank you to Waukesha Floral and Denise! Great person working for a great company

This is the best florist you will ever have in your lifetime. The flowers we had for our day were unmatched to anything you could possibly compare- the vision was incredible, I gave some ideas, sent in some inspiration, never in a million years did I think I’d get what we had delivered- we also have two pot pieces of dry florals that we keep for LIFE. These are the best Florist out there, no one ever cares about the impression of flowers, people in our family have made them their cover photos on FB, there are sooo many photos of the flowers because they were pact with color, elements, and more! I wish the knot allowed for photos, because we were left speechless. The arch piece was stunning!

I don't even know how to begin to write a proper review for how spectacular Waukesha Floral was! We used tons of flowers- bridal party & bride bouquets, groomsmen boutonnieres, grandparents and parents' corsages/boutonnieres, flower girl flower crown, table centerpieces, head table decor and flowers, window boxes, bar table centerpieces, cake flowers, and sign flowers. Every single piece was stunning and so well put together- even better than my imagination had in mind. Denise was especially helpful and amazing throughout our entire process. She was very knowledgeable and flexible to all our wants and questions. They were extremely efficient and timely, and they handled all the setup beautifully. Even the guys were commenting on our gorgeous flowers...and men never notice those things! I wish I could give more starts than just 5 but to sum it up- use Waukesha Floral for all your wedding flower needs!!! They are so friendly, helpful, and talented and we are so thankful for how beautiful they made our special day. My bouquet was so gorgeous I sent it away to be preserved!

I was in awe when I saw them, they were GORGEOUS! I can’t recommend Waukesha Floral enough!!!

Waukesha Floral was tremendous to work with through our wedding planning journey. During my initial consult with Denise, I knew I was in the best hands given her extensive knowledge. Experience aside, Denise was responsive with her communication and was incredibly kind and patient. We had our wedding party flowers in addition to reception decor through Waukesha Floral. The end product was flawless, and exactly as we'd hoped. I'd highly recommend Waukesha Floral - you won't be disappointed!

I cannot speak highly enough of Waukesha Floral. Starting with planning, Denise was a dream to work with - she is friendly, knowledgeable, and very detailed. She and the Waukesha Floral team are clearly so passionate about helping couples see their vision come to life, and my wedding was no exception. When I walked into the room and saw everything set up, I nearly cried tears of joy! I knew we had aligned on everything that I wanted, but the execution far exceeded my expectations. Everything from my bouquet to the centerpieces was absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend Waukesha Floral!

They brought my vision to life with just a handful of pictures and a couple of meetings. I cannot recommend them enough to hire for your wedding day (or anything else really!)
Denise was absolutely lovely to work with. She was beyond nice and helped so much throughout the process of picking styles for bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, etc.

Huge shoutout to Peggy at Waukesha Floral for making our floral dreams come true!! She was a joy to meet with multiple times (we postponed an entire year, so we must have met with her a handful of times). I know little to nothing about flowers and I told her the vibe I was looking for and she NAILED it.
Every time we met, I feel like I wanted to add more flowers to what we originally planned and she was more than OK making edits to our order.
The day of florists who came and set up (I believe they were the owners) did a FANTASTIC job!! I have received many compliments from guests how beautiful the flower arrangements and all of the greenery around everything were and I could not agree more. Waukesha Floral truly went above and beyond to capture the vibe of our wedding day and made the florist portion of wedding planning a breeze.

Denise was an absolute dream to work with! She sat with us for two floral consultations and answered questions promptly over email as well. She was able to accommodate a very last minute request for flower girl petals and baskets when I realized that I had missed that detail. She also was able to advise our floral design based on her expertise and what would look good while staying within a certain price range. Our flowers were so fresh and beautiful and they turned out so beautifully in pictures!

We absolutely loved working with Denise! I knew nothing about flowers so I was nervous how everything would turn out.
But based on a couple pictures I showed her of the bouquet I wanted, she knew exactly what flower it was. She worked with the color swatch of the bridesmaid dresses I gave her to come up with the flower arrangements for the altar flowers and unity candle holder. I trusted her with the mix of flowers and colors to compliment each other, and Denise nailed it! She also offered up ideas that would work better in our budget but still give a great look. We could not be more happy with the work Denise did and how everything turned out. She was quick to respond and more than willing to help. We highly recommend Waukesha Floral and would definitely use them for other floral needs in the future!

Waukesha Floral and Greenhouse designed me the most beautiful wedding flowers. My bridesmaid dresses were all over the place and I really counted on the flowers to bring them all together. Michelle really knew her stuff and walked me through the florets that would work best. She came through for me and they were more gorgeous than I could've imagined. I got so many compliments and they really brightened up but also complimented the rustic venue. Michelle was also willing to work with my budget and seemingly random color scheme but it was seriously perfect. I wouldn't change a single flower.

Waukesha flora was wonderful to work will, and nailed my vision and theme. Flowers were everything I expected them to be an more. Their floral stands were great along with the rental prices. I will definitely use them for the future for special occasions.

I talked with Kathy at Waukesha Floral and Greenhouse regarding my flowers and my bouquets were stunning! I was more concerned about color then I was about type of flower and they made beautiful choices on the type of flower as well as the colors. I was only sad that my flowers wouldn't last forever because they were so beautiful.
Thank you for such an absolute amazing job!!

Michelle at Waukesha Floral was wonderful from the moment we started planning our flowers! She showed us color-grouped flipbooks to give us ideas, and she was able to suggest many flowers based on our ideas about how we wanted the flowers to look. Despite not knowing much about what we wanted when we went in, she was able to gather enough information to make some really stunning arrangements. After hearing how much I love succulents, she suggested adding just a few in the bridal bouquet to set it apart—what a neat idea! I was even able to take them out of the bouquet afterwards and plant them, and they are happily sending down roots right now as I write this. It makes for a nice long-lasting souvenir of my beautiful flowers! She also took our idea of interesting textures and suggested flowers like billy balls, kangaroo paws, hydrangea, protea, and monkey-tail ferns. These all added up to a very unique and eye-catching bouquet, which absolutely fit me, but it was still just plain gorgeous, which fit the setting of a wedding. Good job, Michelle!
For the ladies, we got bouquets for me and my two bridesmaids, a crescent-shaped floral hairpiece for me, and wrist corsages for mothers and grandmother; for the men, we got boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, fathers, and grandfather. Every category was a little different, but it was united in color scheme; this helped us avoid having everything be too matchy-matchy. Our order was probably not too complex for them to accomplish since we only had flowers for people to hold or wear rather than centerpieces or flowers for the service, but everything really was wonderful, and the price tag was quite reasonable for the work they did. Delivery was prompt according to when they said they would deliver the pieces, and everything was packaged and labeled neatly—a very good thing when it’s the morning of your wedding and you’re running around, trying to make sure everything is done right! I was very satisfied with their work, and their workplace itself is beautiful, airy, and comfortable. If you are anywhere in the Milwaukee area (they delivered all the way out to Franklin for me), I would strongly urge you to check them out.

Denise listened to everything that we described and created the most beautiful arrangements, bouquets, and accents for the church. Easy to work with, very flexible, wonderful suggestions, and fabulous result. I would highly recommend them for any occasion. I am sooo glad we used them because the result was exactly what our daughter had envisioned.

All I can say is wow! I love flowers, and so it was very important to me to have an amazing bouquet - and boy did Waukesha Floral and Greenhouse deliver! My style is modern, nothing too froo froo (if that is even the correct term) and I love jewel tones. Just that little bit of information is all I took with me to my appointment there and one of their floral designers walked me through a variety of choices and added some personal touches that I thought to myself "wow, that is totally me!". When I saw the flowers for the first time at the wedding, my jaw literally hit the floor. They were beyond anything I had imagined! They are slightly more expensive than another vendor I checked out, but you can't put a price on that kind of quality. My bouquet lasted just over 3 weeks after the wedding, that's how fresh the flowers were! I wish I could post a picture with my review! My tip? Ask for monkey tails in the bouquets! They are a deep brown stem that makes a curly Q and was my favorite part of my bouquet!

Denise at Waukesha Floral was fantastic. She was able to work with me in picking out flowers that were both what I wanted as well as cost effective. The flowers were super fresh and arranged beautifully. We received many compliments on them and they lasted long after our wedding day. I am so happy with how they looked and amazed at how reasonable they were (even though I picked expensive flowers!). I will defintely go back for other events and for gifts for others.

Flowers and photography are the two hardest vendors to pick when it comes to wedding planning I think because there are so many vendors out there and they all start to look the same after you've talked to a few, but for me picking Waukesha Floral was a no brainer. I have used them in the past for other events and the service and quality are always outstanding. Not to mention I had seen their pomander balls at the WI State Fair a few years ago prior to being engaged and knew that they were a must have at my wedding...and they looked amazing.
As for the rest of the flowers they too exceeded my expectations and this was one of the toughest things for me to pick for the wedding because I could not see the final product prior to the day of. I had plenty of ideas of what I wanted but tricky thing with flowers is what is and is not in season, but the florist was so helpful in suggesting comparable flowers which obviously helped in the overall cost not having to special order out of season flowers. And like I said everything turned out beautiful!!!

I wanted fresh flowers for my wedding, but wanted to keep the cost fairly reasonable. I went back and forth with the floral designer a few times to bring the price down and she was willing to help. I am so happy the way everyones flowers turned out, I just wish they would last forever!

I loved Waukesha Floral. The lady who runs it is very creative and easy to work with. All I said is that I wanted to have roses in my boquet and she instantly designed it with smaller spray roses and added hydrangea and tied ribbon around the stems. She even added some bling inside the flowers!! I loved it because she handled everything for me. Amazing!

Our wedding was beautiful because of Waukesha Floral. My husband and I had an outdoor wedding and indoor reception and initially had no clue what we wanted. Mary Jo Van Natta gently guided us through Waukesha Floral's offerings, a truly impressive array of decor. They offer full-service delivery and set-up. They do an amazing job. Mary Jo is extremely knowledgeable about flowers and plants, she is organized, has a superb eye for detail, and provides excellent feed back through e-mail, it never took more than a few days for her to respond. We were beyond satisfied with every aspect of Waukesha Floral.

My flowers were EXACTLY what I wanted. They were absolutely gorgeous. I wanted orange, yellow, and white for my bridesmaids and a mix of white and ivory for myself. When I saw how tastefully they were put together on the big day, I was elated.
I was a little disappointed, although I did expect it, that the hydrangeas in my bridesmaids' bouquets did not last throughout the day and were very much wilted by the end of the night. Luckily all it took was re-hydration for them to bounce back the next day!

I gave Mary Jo a picture of what I wanted and she was able to create a bouquet that looked even better! All of the flowers looked fabulous and were delivered right on time.
The price is also reasonable for the quality of what you get -- highly recommend!
