I am an Oct 2024 bride and I have nothing but good things to say about the Willow Event Design team! If I can give 10 stars I would! If you are all about your wedding florals being perfect and having your inspo photos come to life, hire her (PERIOD)!
She blew our expectations out of the water!! Also, she somehow matched my bridal bouquet ribbon color PERFECTLY with my bridesmaid dress color without even knowing!!! She is just magic!!! The team nailed my vision and helped so much on the wedding day!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
We were so blessed to have such an amazing team:)
From booking to floral preservation I cannot sing the praises of Jessie and her team enough!
Every detail was beyond perfect! We had a strict color palette, and very specific vision, Jessie and her team created a wondrous array of flowers in such a creative manner. I knew nothing about flowers but knew the colors and vibe we were going for and she nailed it!
Jessie created exactly what we wanted and was very communicative through the entire process! She was kind and supportive throughout planning. She accommodated a few changes right before the month cut off for changes.
Madi also went above and beyond on our preservation, we preserved my MOH bouquet, my bouquet and invitation and my husband wanted his boutonnière preserved as well. We are thrilled with how they came together!
Floral artistry in its most detailed and beautiful form, we were honored to be able to work with Willow!
I got married in April and am just now finding the words to describe how disappointed I was with my florals from WED. To start, the team arrived way too late in the day for comfort— within the same hour of our first look. I did not receive my bouquet until 5 minutes before my first look and it made me want to cry unhappy tears. It is not what Jessie and I had discussed and there was nothing that could be done at that point because of how last minute it was. The shape of it was lopsided, colors were not symmetrical and it makes me cringe every time I look at pictures. My main color was a slate blue color so the blue thistle flowers were supposed to be a statement in my bouquet and looking back at pictures, only 1 and sometimes 2 depending on how it was held were visible. It also was supposed to be heavy on eucalyptus as that is my favorite greenery and there ended up being minimal eucalyptus. My bridesmaids bouquets did have a visible amount of blue thistle which was a plus but it’s sad that the bridesmaids bouquets looked better than the bride’s.
The main flower on my husbands boutonnière snapped in half before the ceremony even started and hung drooping the rest of the night— also visible in all of our pictures.
The weather on our wedding day was very windy and WED clearly did not plan for that. There was supposed to be floral arrangements on top of whiskey barrels at the entrance to our ceremony and because of the wind, the arrangements would not stand without blowing over. Upon trying to attach the arrangements to the barrels with sticks (I’m sorry but barrels are wood and sticks are not going to get that job done…), they ended up just putting the arrangements on the ground where they became barely noticeable as they blended in with the grass. It would have been smart of them to plan ahead in accordance with the weather and bring the materials to attach the arrangements to the barrels properly since that is what we had discussed. These arrangements that were supposed to be on top of the barrels were also supposed to be “large floral arrangements” according to my proposal and they turned out to be not much bigger than my bouquet which was also very disappointing.
Overall, I am not only extremely disappointed in the outcome of my flowers, but mostly just sad that my vision didn’t come true for our big day. I had such high hopes because all of the work I had seen from WED was beautiful but now I will forever have to look back at our wedding pictures and cringe because of how awful the flowers, and more specially my bouquet looked. I did not invest a ton of money in the florals, but I definitely did not get what I paid for. I truly hope nobody else has to experience what I did with WED florals because it was, and still is incredibly upsetting.
Jessie at WED is beyond talented and a joy to work with! I was blown away when we walked into our reception space and saw how beautifully everything came together! Her florals are gorgeous, and she helped us out immensely with the decor, colors, and style of our wedding as well. She was organized, responsive, and professional throughout the entire experience. I'd recommend WED to anyone!
Amazing team to work with- punctual, creative, helpful. Just a dream! They made our day so special and easy.
I absolutely loved working with Willow Event Designs. Their clear and descriptive process for selecting florals and greenery was extremely helpful for making me feel at ease prior to the event. Then, on the day of, the girls were lovely and beyond helpful. I really enjoyed their work.
Wonderful to work with and did beautiful work within my budget.
Willow Event Designs truly MADE our rehearsal dinner. Jesse not only provided the most perfect flower details but she helped me pull together every other aspect of the design. I was doing an out-of-town event and she made it possible, easy and perfect!
Jesse and Willow Event Designs are simply the best! We've used them for not only one but two of daughters special day. They are professional, friendly and go above and beyond!
I cannot recommend Jessie with Willow enough. Her eye for putting together the most beautiful floral designs is out of this world! I sent her a few pictures and she put together a DREAM of florals for our wedding including our bouquets and bouts, arbor, and additional floral decorations. She understands your vision and then takes it above and beyond!
Jessie came highly recommended by a friend who used her wedding and she was an absolute delight to work with! I'm a noob when it comes to flowers and Jessie helped us through the whole process! She listened to what we wanted and gave ideas and suggestions to help bring that vision to reality. The mantle and aisle decorations, bouquets, table designs and every other place she spruced up was so elegant and perfect! She even hunted down centrepieces that we were looking for in the midst of the pandemic! She was extremely reasonable with the pricing and worked so well with our other vendors and wedding planners. She is amazing!
We used Willow as our wedding florist and I can't stress enough how pleased we were with them in the planning process and with our day-of result. We had an initial phone call where I gave Jessie a *very* general idea of my vision and vibe and she just took my description and made it happen. My wedding proposal ahead of time and day-of was exactly as I had envisioned it. Jessie and the Willow team went above and beyond. Willow even made a special trip to our venue ahead of time (as it was a new venue for them) to get a feel for the spacing and to provide feedback/ideas for how we could make the wedding as beautiful as possible. If you're a bride looking for a professional, yet down to earth and approachable florist for your wedding, this is your team! They are amazing.
Jessie and her team went above and beyond my floral expectations. I came in with a very loose idea of what I wanted in my florals, but Jessie far exceeded anything I could have imagined. She listened to everything I said I liked and didn't like, and she created something that was one of a kind and so perfect for my husband and me. Jessie and her team are also incredibly kind and caring people, and so easy to get along with. I would recommend them 100 times over!
Great company to work with for any BIG event! Recommend to anyone. Jessie was a pleasure to work with.
I knew I wanted Jessie and her team to do the florals at my wedding since I first saw what she did for a friend's several years ago. The florals themselves were absolutely amazing, and Jessie was so easy to work and communicate with. Even when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, Jessie made it incredibly easy to change our date and made sure we still had exactly what we wanted in terms of flowers. I highly recommend Willow Event Designs to any Charleston bride looking for flowers!
I'm so thankful that Jessie and her crew brought my daughter's floral visions to life. EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL!! The flowers and decor EXCEEDED my expectations!! The arbor and front door entry way arch at the chapel are must-sees! When I thought it couldn't get any better, I saw the reception venue and was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!! Hands down the best decision I could have ever made!!!
Jessie and her team were outstanding. Her communication was always prompt and thorough and she is very gifted at what she does. The forecast for my wedding day was 100% rain all day, so we called Jessie to see if they had any flexibility with us moving our wedding up a day. She rallied her team together and somehow was able to get everything done an entire day early to accommodate us. She did a stellar job with all of the florals and I couldn't be more thankful.
Willow Event Designs made my wedding an absolute dream and exceeded my expectations!
Jessie and her team captured exactly what we were looking for in our dream wedding. She should be the only florist you even consider when searching for your wedding.
Thank you so much, Jessie! I could not have imagined anything better. 10/10
Jessie and her team help my wedding dream come to life! I am so happy with how everything turned out. Jessie also helped make sure the day went smoothly and helped us feel relaxed. I love how our wedding aesthetic ideas came together. I would recommend Willow to allll brides!
Absolutely thrilled with my flowers and reception decor from Willow Event Designs! Jessie was amazing and so easy to work with, as was Alyssa and rest of team. Cannot say enough great things about the entire process!!! Not to mention the flowers looked even better than I imagined and are so fun to look at in pictures!
We chose Willow as the florist for our Murrells Inlet fall wedding, and we loved Jessie so much we hired her to do a month of planning package for us as well! Planning a wedding from out of state can be stressful, but Jessie made it feel like a breeze! When you speak to Jessie, you feel like you're chatting with a friend you've known for years. I am so appreciative of the way she coordinated all of our vendors and made it seem effortless. What drew us to Willow originally is how the floral designs they create for weddings feel less like "wedding florals" and more like a complete, seamless work of art. It was absolutely amazing to see how Jessie + team transformed our ceremony and reception spaces, and the bouquets for me and my bridesmaids were absolutely stunning. She was also incredibly flexible, as we had several changes (additional bridesmaid, the loss of the mother of the groom, etc.) after our initial proposal and she worked with us to fulfill all of our hopes and requests. I would highly recommend working with Willow for floral design!
Willow Events is a rare find, and I would recommend them again and again! They were kind, professional, punctual, creative, and affordable. Their work is stunning and everything I could have asked for.
Jessie and the Willow event design team were amazing to work with. Jessie was very responsive in the many weeks up until the wedding. As she shared her work, I kept adding things including a flower wall which was a huge hit!
Alyssa was at our venue for most of the day of our wedding. She sent up our flower wall and set up our ceremony flowers and repurposed them for the reception while the guest were at cocktail hour. She made sure my bouquet stayed perfect and switching any flowers out that needed to be. Our flowers were stunning and received a lot of compliments.
Pick Willow Event Design, you will not be disappointed!!
Willow Events will go above & beyond without even asking! Everything we envisioned for our wedding was executed in ways we could only dream of. From our chapel to our wedding backdrop, Willow Events had it covered. Our wedding ended up being pretty cold & they had a team member bring blankets for our guests without hesitation. We wanted simple greenery throughout with some accents of flowers. The floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful & everything flowed throughout the event. I love Willow Events because they listen to what you want and then somehow make it 100x better. Willow Events is the only floral and event planner I will recommend in the Grand Strand/Pawley's Area. Always professional, high quality, and one-of-a-kind creativity. Book Willow Events NOW!!
Willow created the flower arrangements of my wedding dreams! I wanted the flowers to be the statement piece at our outdoor mountain wedding, and Jessie and her team surpassed my very high expectations. She was wonderful to work with, and brought my vision to life - and so much more than I could have imagined. She and her team are so extremely talented and creative. I’ve received so many compliments from guests on how they were the most beautiful flowers they’ve ever seen. And, I wholeheartedly agree. The flowers were true magic and brought the whole reception to life. Please do yourself a favor and hire Willow - it was the very best decision!
Jessie and the WILLOW team were absolutely amazing! They took my visions and brought to life something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! We loved our florals. Absolutely stunning! Responsive, very accommodating and fun to work with!
Jessie and her team at Willow Event Designs are simply the best at what they do. I hired Jessie to coordinate every detail of our destination wedding in SC. From the flowers, rentals, cake, caterer, hair dresser, music, decor, photographer, she and her team did it all. Our wedding was beautiful and my husband and I were able to enjoy every minute without worrying about the details. Jessie is fabulous at coordinating and she and her team are very detail oriented which was what I was looking for. I wouldn’t change one thing. I highly recommend Willow for any bride who is looking for a professional, reliable and creative wedding coordinator. She’s also very well connected in the area and able to recommend other vendors with similar style and tastes.
Jessie is extremely talented! Willow Event Designs brought our floral dreams to life, the flowers made our venue so bright, colorful and made us so happy! She is kind, creative and professional. I highly recommend to look no further and hire Willow Event Designs!
Willow Event Designs and Jessie were great to work with. They hung with us when our wedding had to be postponed a year because of COVID and were never more than an email away. Magnolia flowers were my main flower and they went out of their way to find real ones to use which was amazing! All of the bouquets were just gorgeous and beautiful. I was a little disappointed with the size of the table arrangement we ordered. The finished product didn’t match the description/conversation we had about the arrangement but again the fact that they were able to incorporate real magnolias was just perfect. Overall I couldn’t have asked for a better florist to work with!!
Jessie at Willow Event Designs did an INCREDIBLE job. She was so responsive throughout the entire planning process and completely captured my vision perfectly for our wedding. I couldn’t have been happier with my florals and greenery. Don’t even think twice about booking her, she was by far the easiest vendor to work with and the most personable and friendly! She is so detail oriented and she is very reasonably priced as well for the quality you’re receiving. I would book Willow Event Designs again and again and again!! :)
Jessie and her team were absolutely incredible to work with. I originally wanted a simple white and green color palette for my wedding florals and ultimately decided to add in some pops of winter green and burgundy. Willow Event Designs did a stunning job incorporating natural textures and colors into my florals. Thank you for making our day so much more special!
Willow Events can take any location and turn it into a fairytale!! I can not say enough about how beautiful the flowers were. They went above and beyond my expectations. Still daydreaming about how beautiful my bouquet was. Everything was perfect and Jessie is so wonderful to work with.
Jessie and her design team were "spot on" for my daughter's wedding florals. We showed her pictures of what we liked and she created them - in budget! From the arrangements in the church to the bouquets & boutonnieres the guys wore, the flowers were unique and gorgeous. We have had so many compliments on how beautiful they were. Willow Event Designs is the best!
If you’ve ever looked at wedding photos and felt the little butterflies when you saw the amazing flowers, then Willow Event Designs is the florist for you! Jessie is beyond amazing and talented! She uses many flowers outside the “normal” for weddings and that is where her talent and creativity lies! She will create masterpieces for your wedding day that make everyone say “WOW”! We booked WED for our wedding and were blown away by how magical she made the day! From her wedding planning and designs, to her spectacular bouquets and arrangements. She makes every wedding special and none are the same! If you want to stand out and want your floral designs to speak for you on your perfect day then choose Willow Event Designs! Only pictures can describe how amazing they truly are!!
Hands down our best decision we made for our wedding was to hire Jessie of Willow Event Designs. COVID wedding planning is not ideal, but happened flawlessly through the entire process. Any glitches that came up, Jessie handled within a blink of an eye. She is a wonderful, bad ass, and talented female! Not only is her wedding planning exceptional, her florals are OUT OF THIS WORLD. In my opinion, my bouquet was prettier than me, and I was quite alright with that! I still swoon over the flowers. BEST BEST BEST BEST ever. :)
Jessie and her team are absolutely amazing! They are so kind, accommodating, and totally nailed my vision!!! We had to deal with many changes due to Covid and Jessie was so gracious through it all- which makes a HUGE difference!! HIGHLY recommend!
I had a great experience with Willow Event Designs. I had to postpone my wedding due to the pandemic, and everyone was very helpful. I could not have loved my flowers more - they were absolutely gorgeous. The team made all my floral dreams come true. I highly recommend Willow Event Designs!
As my daughters original wedding was to take place in Greenville SC but with COVID preventing the larger gathering a smaller ceremony was planned in our hometown. So with less than a month we contacted Jessie and she came through with a beautiful design that complimented Emma’s vision for a more understated low key bohemian feel that will not overshadow her larger ceremony that will still take place next year. Highly recommend Willow Designs!
Jessie and her team made our ceremony and reception look exactly how I pictured it in my mind. Everything cohesively worked to make the venue look as beautiful as possible. They also reused many pieces of the ceremony in the reception to help keep us in budget. I wanted the moody, bohemian feel and they absolutely nailed it. She was a dream to work with and I recommend her and her team for any event you need!
VERY happy to have been referred to Jessie and the Willow team early on in the process. Jessie was SUPER helpful and patient as we talked through early stage vision and floral needs. She offered awesome insight and ideas, and boy did she DELIVER. The bouquets, boutonnières, table arrangements, were all so beautiful and made me SO happy. I cannot recommend Willow Event Designs enough.
I can’t say enough about Jessie and her staff! The flowers for my daughter’s wedding looked so beautiful! We received many compliments from the guests. Everything arrived promptly and the flowers looked perfect. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
We could not have pulled this wedding off without the help of Willow Event Desjgns. Jessie and her staff went above and beyond to make sure that our daughter’s wedding day was perfect. She helped us from start to finish finding the venue, selecting the bridesmaids colors, the flowers (oh so beautiful), the baker, the printer. Whenever you needed something, Jessie had the answer. The wedding was absolutely spectacular and the photo bus was the bomb!
Jessie and her team not only planned my wedding seamlessly, but they also pulled off a live flower, wall tapestry design to make my dreams come true! And our wedding flowers were to DIE for, seriously everyone was talking about how beautiful they were!
Jessie was always there when I needed her to make a decision and was prompt and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Jessie and her team at Willow Event Designs really know how to make your vision come to life and then some! I could not have dreamed for a more gorgeous bouquet and floral / greenery arrangements at the venue. Everything was absolutely beautiful and organic feeling. From one design professional to another, I truly appreciated all the details and thought put into the arrangements. I loved my bouquet so much that I had it dried and framed in a shadow box.
Jessie was also very easy to work with and extremely accommodating. She personally delivered my bouquet to the bridal suite which was off site so we would have our bouquet and boutonniere for our first look.
I would highly recommend Willow Event Designs for a wedding!!! Thank you again, Jessie!
Jessie at Willow Events Designs was amazing to work with!! She and her team created the wedding of Sara and Ethan's dream. Every detail covered that Sara had shared with Jessie from the church to the reception. Willow Event also does florals in-house which were over the top spectacular. Can't go wrong using Willow Event Designs for the perfect wedding day!!
Jessie and her team are absolutely wonderful. Their work is so outstanding, and they are so accommodating. We were on a tight budget and Jessie did an incredible job within that limit. She was even open to working on some unusual requests for centerpieces for us. We had our wedding up in Columbia, SC and all of the flowers were delivered on time and in perfect condition. I was so pleased with every aspect of working with Willow Event Designs.
The floral arrangements wow just wow. Exceeded my expectations in every sense, lovely bouquets for me and my ladies and the table arrangements where to die for. I wish I could give 10 stars.
I found Wild Flowers Inc. through their outstanding online reviews and contacted Beth to explain what I was looking for (a destination wedding coordinator) and thankfully she responded very quickly to set up a call. The moment I heard Beth's soothing voice and calm demeanor I knew she was the planner for me. Charleston has no shortage of wedding planners, but it was Beth's professionalism, experience, and enthusiasm that appealed to us the most.
We thought that the whole process would be difficult and stressful given we live 3,000 miles from Charleston in California, but having Beth totally put us at ease. She was able to provide us with creative ideas, knowledge of our venue, vendor recommendations, etc. and not to mention take care of all the tedious behind the scenes logistics! Throughout our planning process she would always answer our concerns and ideas quickly and was very responsive (despite the 3hr time difference and my frequent emails/texts).
When we arrived in Charleston a few days before our wedding we had arranged to meet up with Beth at our venue to go over final details, and when my fiance' (now husband!) decided he wanted to completely shift our ceremony layout 48 hours before our big day (among MANY over very last minute additions we made!!), Beth didn't bat an eye or make us feel worried about anything that was left to be done. We both immediately felt a reassured confidence that we were in good hands with Beth!! On our wedding day I was able to relax and not worry about a thing! Beth and her team really were such a pleasure to have as part of our wedding. They were all so friendly, helpful, and patient--and I was not the easiest bride! ;) They made sure every detail was perfection--from the flowers, to the gorgeous string lighting (her husband Vince does a phenomenal job with lighting), to the overall layout, we could not have been more pleased.
I cannot recommend Beth enough! Thanks to Wild Flowers Inc for coordinating the wedding of our dreams!
Jessie was so much fun to work with. I felt like I was working with someone I've known for years. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted and Jessie not only executed it but was EXCITED about executing my vision. It's so important to have people that can see what you see and stand behind it 100%. My wedding look wasn't about "a lot of flowers" (given that we were already outside), it was more about color, texture, and organic shapes to create a certain aesthetic. Jessie and her team pulled it off completely. She texted, emailed and called me along the way to make sure we were on the same page. She guided me in the right direction with her expert knowledge whenever I was hesitant. Upon delivery of the flowers I realized there was a miscommunication on my part involving florals for the ceremony. However, Jessie improvised right on the spot and worked up something that turned out just as beautifully as if it had been planned all along. I am so very thankful to her and her team! Couldn't have asked for anything better!
Jessie is amazing! I highly recommend booking her as your wedding planner, especially if you are not local to the area! She made sure that everything was in order when we arrived the Wednesday before our wedding.
Helped figure out timeline. Was flexible. Willing to talk with me at any time!
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Jessie and her team are. She takes your style and budget into consideration and will give you the wedding of your dreams. She became a friend to me throughout by wedding planning, and I will happily use her for future parties.
Absolutely amazing. I would never have been able to have the wedding I had with the little amount of stress I had without Jessie! She was so fun to work with and really allows you to enjoy the wedding planning process as you should! Fair warning: you will absolutely love her, become her friend, and then miss the heck out of her when the wedding is over!
Honestly, it took a while to find the right florist as we live in Miami and getting married in Charleston. Enter Jessie and her wonderful group of ladies at WED. From all the vision boards, inspirational photos, and me desperately trying to explain what I want, these women came through with the execution. What I loved the most was the honesty. Jessie did not hesitate on telling me what would work best or better and I appreciate that in a vendor. I think what really drew me in with WED was that they were able to merge professionalism with a personal rapport. Also should note that we initially did not hire a coordinator, but with the trust we had in Jessie it was a no brainer to have her help on the big day. It was evident to see that when people love what they do, the love shows in the work done. With much gratitude Jessie and Willow Events Design!
Jessie was so amazing!! We decided to do month of planning and I'm so glad we did! Everything was perfect and just what my husband and I dreamed of. We had a lot of problems come up the week before the wedding and Jessie was so helpful in getting through those. The day of our wedding ran so smoothly and looked absolutely beautiful thanks to Jessie!
Jessie and Molly are amazing!!!! I was so very pleased with every aspect of their wedding planning. You will not regret working with Willow Event Designs!!
Jessie and Willow Event Designs was absolutely amazing through the entire process of wedding planning! Jessie was encouraging, intentional, organized and made every effort to make our day exactly what we wanted! The day of the wedding was perfect. The flowers were beautiful, and everything went exactly as planned. The day was so smooth and relaxed, and we owe that to Jessie and her team! They are THE BEST!
I cannot say enough positive things about Willow Event Designs, Jessie and team!! Jessie was such a pleasure to work with and offered so much priceless guidance and support during the entire wedding planning process. She was extremely responsive to all forms of contact including texts, calls, emails. She was very flexible and accommodating when setting up times to meet on site on multiple occasions to ensure everything was covered. Her design ideas were monutental in making our wedding more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. And everything went smoothly the of thanks to her and her team. I highly, highly recommend Willow Event Designs!! If you hire them, you won't be disappointed!
Jessie and Molly were amazing! They were so helpful and helped make our wedding day perfect! Molly did our day of coordinating and she was so helpful and on top of everything to help the wedding run smoothly. She really just helped me to be able to relax and have a fun and amazing day. They are awesome and so worth it!!!!
Jessie and her team from Willow Event Designs were amazing! I began my daughter's wedding planning on my own, but quickly realized there were many details that were not being addressed. Jessie jumped right in and guided me every step of the way and became a great "sounding board" for any frustrations along the way! She also provided all flowers/greenery for the wedding and took the time to get to know my daughter in order to come up with the perfect natural effects for our outdoor wedding on the marsh. Our wedding basically went off without a hitch. When the only thing that goes wrong is that your 18 year old son eats the blueberries intended for the cupcakes, you know you've nailed it!! It's also pretty cool when your wedding planner becomes one of your best friends!
