Wicked Willow

rs themed wedding with a true touch of elegance.

first email exchanges with Tina, she put me completely at ease and was very understanding of everything – when I was going back and forth between dresses which impacted what style bouquet I wanted, when I was going back and forth about how many arrangements I wanted to install in the church – Tina rolled with it and was happy to give updated pricing lists that I could pick from a-la-carte. When I first met with Tina in person in the charming Wicked Willow shop, she looked through all my inspiration photos and made suggestions that were practical and made a huge difference in the final product. Tina was flexible and accommodating down to the final weeks when I had a last minute request for changing what I wanted in the pews for the ceremony. When I was dropping off some things to her the Wednesday before my wedding, she surprised me that she had gotten some peonies for my bouquet - my favorite flower that I wasn’t going to order for a December wedding – talk about thoughtful! In order to cut some costs, I repurposed bouquets as centerpieces and Tina crafted the bouquets to fit the centerpieces perfectly and this went off without a hitch. I adored everything that Tina delivered on the morning of my wedding, everything was perfect and even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you, Tina!

our floral dreams come true! The colors on the flowers were so vibrant and took extra time to make sure that our vision came to life!

She worked with us to come up with something that was astoundingly beautiful, and more people complimented them than we can count. We wanted the floral arrangements to be special, and they were above and beyond. On top of this, Tina was lovely to work with. Our highest recommendation for Wicked Willow.

ice points (we went with the middle option, but felt like we got the more expensive ones), it was so helpful. He also gave us some ideas todo with the extra lanterns we had since we had less tables than we thought. Highly highly recommend!

points which we really appreciated. We shopped around and not all florists will provide this level of service and transparency. Most importantly- the talent and craftsmanship behind the arrangements was top notch. The flowers were the talk of the wedding and they completely transformed a backyard wedding into an elegant affair. It was more beautiful than I had even imagined, we were blown away.

me to the table centerpieces. The table centerpieces (candles of varying heights, greenery, and ivory flowers running down the center of the table) were the perfect and elegant touch needed for the long banquet tables at my wedding reception. My bridal bouquet was also absolutely stunning! Working with Wicked Willow Floral was a pleasure! They are timely, professional, have an amazing eye for detail, and truly work with brides and grooms to make their vision a reality. I highly recommend Wicked Willow Floral!

t flowers, floral arrangements, and how to accomplish my vision. I found Randy to be so attentive, and it was clear he knew his stuff; I booked him right away without an in-person consultation. And he did not disappoint one bit! I absolutely loved my flowers and those of the wedding party!!! Further, our guests were so blown away at the reception. Thank you Randy and your team for executing such a super romantic, magical and transformative floral décor, taking one to another time and place!!! Well done!

n our bridal party table, and was extremely flexible in making changes. When we met with her, we weren't able to completely articulate how we wanted our flowers to look, but Tina took the time to listen to us and quickly understood exactly what we wanted. She had no trouble working within our budgetary constraints, and everything still looked phenomenal. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up early and everything looked as sharp and beautiful as she had described to us. She is truly on top of her game!

portance of catering to the bride's needs, and also, enhancing the bride's vision. Throughout the entire process, Tina was incredibly responsive to her emails, answered questions, gave suggestions, and can work easily within any budget. I had a general vision of what I wanted the flowers to look like, but I trusted Tina's expertise and creativity to fill in the blanks. She did that, and then some. Even if a certain flower you want is not in season, she can replace it with a very similar looking flower. The untrained eye may not even notice the difference. My bridesmaids were stunned by the flowers, and my bouquet was better than I had imagined. Needless to say, the bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous -- we had a beautiful blend of high centerpieces and low centerpieces too. The guests were thrilled to be able to take the floral arrangements home too -- we ended up using it for an event the next day for my in laws' wedding anniversary. They stayed beautiful for awhile , I pressed several. All in all, Tina is a wonderful woman to work with (she has a great personality and sense of humor) and my mom and I always looked forward to our flower meetings. Thank you Tina and the Wicked Willow team for making my garden wedding heaven on earth.

ted, but he was able to help me identify the types of flowers and plants I wanted to use based on the colors and textures that I liked. Randy gave us lots of ideas and options and the floral arrangements and bouquets turned out beautiful. After the wedding, we left almost everything at the venue because we were exhausted and were going to collect them the next day (which the venue suggested). Unfortunately, when they came to pick up the large floral arrangements and containers we rented from Wicked Willow that night, they also took all of the bouquets (including mine). When I called Wicked Willow the next day, the woman we spoke to told us that if they were picked up the night before then they were "gone" and there was nothing they could do about it. I was really upset because I never would've thought that they would have taken the bride's bouquet. Thankfully, I followed up with Randy the next day and he offered to re-create my bouquet; although it wasn't an exact replica, I was thankful that he was understanding and offered to re-create it.

pped off the flowers at each location for us. Thank you so much Tina for making our wedding absolutely beautiful!!!

irection I wanted to go. The shop itself is fabulous as there are so many vases, candles, jars, etc to choose from and inspire you. After looking around, I was drawn to the fabulous candelabras and Moroccan vases. I also provided a photo of the bouquets I wanted--and the actual bouquets were even better than the photo. Wicked Willow is so easy to work with and has original and artistic creations!

do their thing... And I'm glad that I gave them room to create their art. I was floored by how amazing the flowers looked. I didn't want to put my bouquet down because it was so beautiful. I received compliments about the flowers from people whom I never expected to even notice that sort of thing (blue-collar uncles). Thank you for adding to the beauty of my wedding day!

angements within my budget. He was there in the morning to deliver and at night to take back the vases, and it was great to have his personal attention. Thank you for help making my wedding beautiful!

casional delays in responses to my emails, but I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know.

ne-of-a-kind creations that will have your guests buzzing about "the best flowers they have ever seen" at a wedding. He's a joy to work with, too -- on sevearal occasions he sent me hand-drawn sketches of the arrangements he was planning for our wedding and those drawings really helped build the vision for me. He's not just a florist... he's an artist!

!!

even had a few guests come up to me and ask if I had a photographer - I don't know how he did it. Beautiful, amazing, incredible, fantastic, artistic, crisp/clear, sentimental, in the moment/candid photography. If I could do the wedding all over again I may have made a few slight changes, but with our photographer - I would not have changed a thing. These pictures are forever, and when our memories become hazy with time I am so happy that our wedding will be remembered through the images captured that day- they are beautiful! Thank you Mike - from the bottom of our hearts.

rs very well, and I only had a vague idea of what I wanted my floral arrangements to be like. I told Randy the theme I was going for, a few of my favorite flowers, and showed him some pictures of arrangements that I liked, and I can't even describe how impressed and thrilled I was to see the beautiful bouquets that they created for my wedding. The flower arrangements and center pieces at the receptions were equally as spectacular, exactly what I was hoping they'd be even though I didn't think that I had quite the right words to express what I wanted. Wicked Willow creates very unique products, are easy to work with and I am very pleased that they were a part of my wedding. I highly recommend them.

tuff - if you come in with even a vague idea of a look or color that you like he will creatively and beautifully turn it into reality for you. Our centerpieces were all stunning (we had three different kinds in varying heights), as were the bouquets and boutonnieres - but what really took my breath away was the arch constructed out of twigs and vines with a few pops of color where we said our vows. Randy also provided the fresh gardenias I wore in my hair, and the scent will always remind me of my exquisite day!

e day of the wedding my flowers looked like pictures that we talked about over a year before the wedding instead of the flowers that we talked about a month before the wedding. Again, they did a beautiful job, but I would suggest being really direct about what you want and following up close to the wedding date.

away by how well he captured the look I was going for (succulents and flowers mixed with lots of green and texture.) I did my own centerpieces so I can't speak to his skills in that regard, but based on what a great job he did on my flowers and what I saw in his portfolio at our meeting, I am certain he would have been just as great. Delivered the flowers on time to the event, was very accessible and easy to work with.

sources the best. After picking our ideal blooms and colors, Randy did an amazing job adding organic textural elements to the bouquets and centerpieces to make them unique. He also styled our reception centerpieces in two ways (which were alternated on the tables). One was more sculptural and assymetrical while the other was more round and had a "picked from the garden" look. Personally, I think he is fanastic with the more sculptured pieces. Although we had gotten samples of the reception centerpieces (and therefore knew exactly what to expect), what we ended up with for the bouquets and waterfall ceremony arrangements were more of a surprise...and better than I had conceptualized. My colors were apple green and plum purple...I was a little nervous things would look like Barney- but the end result was sophisticated and simply beautiful. He also made a woven wreath of twigs and flowers for my flower girl which had a wonderful nymph-like quality. He also wove flowers into her basket of flower petals. Perfect for a garden wedding.

ime right before the ceremony.

y budget. I would highly recommend Wicked Willow!!!

s so much about flowers and I definitely do not have a green thumb. He showed us tons of flowers, listened to what we wanted and created the most AMAZING centerpieces. Also, introduced me to my new favorite flower, gloriosa lilies, which is my favorite color. They were the perfect height for having conversations. Our flowers were gorgeous and even our guests were in shock at how beautiful it looked. He found the perfect combination of flowers we discussed. The colors were brilliant. As another Bride said, phenomenal service, quality, value, and final product. We also got corsages for our Grandmothers and my Godmother. They were the most beautiful little sun flowers on a wide ribbon that tied like a bracelet on their wrist. I LOVED THEM and so did everyone else! They were perfect and my Grandmother event kept hers to save and show her friends. She is still talking about how much she loved it. They made our wedding PERFECT!

work out more details. She was able to completely understand my vision and even take it further in the most beautiful, creative, upscale way. I would go to her for every floral need I have in the future.

e to everything I wanted as far as the flowers and the setup. The vision of what I was thinking at the time, really came to life on the day of. Randy made everything really easy, we only had to meet on 1 occasion and we worked out a payment plan that worked for both of us. The flowers were delivered promptly the day of our wedding to the hotel and our room and the vendor was able to set everything up without needing to involve us on the day of. Great service and would use them again for future events!!!!

ltimore Museum of Art and had our dinner in the garden's restaurant, and cocktails dancing outside on the terrace. We were interested in having a variety of colorful, interesting arrangements and bouquets that were artistic, modern, and sculptural as well as classic and just plain beautiful. We met with Randy just once prior to our wedding to discuss our ideas and he immediately caught on to our style, our love of color, our interest in having modern, pretty flower in a variety of arrangement sizes and shapes, and our decision to use a percentage of local blooms. We had no idea which types of flowers he was going to use until we saw them on our wedding day, but his commitment to our wedding and artistic sensibilities were evidence enough and we completely trusted in his talents. We are sooooo happy we did just that!! Our flowers were positively phenomenal!! Randy completely filled both the restaurant and the garden with color, style, and form that, in our opinions (we are both also artists), is unparalleled. His creations, from the different sized arrangements to the accents, not only complimented the space but truly defined our highest ideals for sculptural flower art that was contemporary and edgy, whilst classically beautiful all at the same time! We were delighted with his choices (orchids, hydrangea, garden roses, hemlock twigs, poppy pods, submerged blooms with large stones, peacock feathers on the place card table, gorgeous arrangements of different sized floating candles around the fountain after the sunset, and much much more). We were thrilled with his use of bright vibrant colors. No two pieces were alike; each was a unique and lovely addition to the day. The bouquets were beyond anything I had ever imagined... We truly had the most wonderful flowers that ANY of our guests have ever seen, and there was many more than one inquiry regarding Wicked Willow both during and after the event. In addition to keeping all of our arrangements, Randy gave us all of the vases to keep as well! I will cherish looking at the photos of his arrangements for the rest of my life! I give this company the HIGHEST recommendation and encourage all couples to meet with Randy to see for themselves how incredible wedding flowers can be!!!

orgeous top-notch product for my ceremony and reception. Their work is breathtaking! They also accommodated all kinds of special requests to produce things that I saw in bridal magazines and also to make several items from silk flowers (that blended in perfectly with the other real flowers) to accommodate a bridesmaid's allergies to real flowers. (Her husband and two children were also in the wedding so we needed to ensure that those with whom she had to come in direct contact also had silk flowers.) Highly highly highly recommended!
