YJDecorating

l years. The floral design had to be changed for a new venue and a slightly different time of year, and all went very smoothly. They were understanding about budget constraints and generally responsive and easy to work with. In the end, the room looked beautiful, and the flowers and candles were exactly what my daughter had wanted. The staff is very friendly, knowledgable and professional, and worked well with the team at the venue. You can't go wrong choosing YJ Decorating for your event!

, step by step, and guided our process. We came into her studio for meetings and she was also available for walk through + zoom calls. She was careful to help us understand costs and she went above and beyond day of to show up herself to our venue as she knew how detailed I was and what I was hoping for in my vision. The team sourced specific bud cases they did not previously own for my particular request and nailed it perfectly. From my bouquet, to our chuppah, to the head table, massive candles displays and more, Yvonne exceeded our expectations beyond our dreams. I am so grateful to have found this vendor. Their team will impress and put you at ease!!!

on Yvonne to help me get to my vision. She absolutely did NOT disappoint. We decided on less floral and more candles for our reception and boy did she deliver. The room was breath taking and romantic-looked like something out of a European fairy tale. Easy to communicate with and responds quickly to any inquiry. All you have to do is look at her website and her work speaks for itself. Thank you to Yvonne and team for a wonderful job making our special day memorable. 10/10 I would highly recommend Yvonne for any special occasion needs.

I had a specific vision for my bridal bouquet and centerpieces, and Yvonne brought it to life so beautifully. She is truly an artist, and can help you and your partner figure out your vision. She is detail-oriented, hard working, and has a heart of gold. We felt so taken care of by her and her team. One of the key reasons to hire YJD is that unlike other floral design companies, when you give them your budget, they stick with it. Other vendors quoted one thing online and then told us prices that were thousands of dollars more as we went through consultations. Yvonne on the other hand helped us make decisions so we could come in under budget. She even came up with creative ways to reuse florals throughout the wedding day to increase the impact of our flowers! She never tries to upsell you, but instead helps you figure out how to bring your wedding vision to life in a way that reflects your budget. Jewish brides, she also has many beautiful chuppahs to choose from. She came up with a custom plan for us to have a chuppah that really brought together our ceremony space, and it was absolutely stunning. Our jaws dropped when we saw how beautifully she decorated the space. On top of it all, Yvonne treated us like family. She gave honest feedback, had amazing ideas, and did so much more than we would ever expect from a decorator. Hiring Yvonne was the best decision we made for our wedding. Save yourself the stress and hire YJD!

she was very helpful. Yvonne provided critical advice and reassurance as we navigated the ups and downs of our wedding journey. She provided excellent suggestions for our vision and made sure we considered all angles of needs to make our dreams come true. Her team was awesome on the day of the wedding, supporting the whole bridal party and making sure we had everything we needed and were ready to go!

are so happy that we hired YJDecorating!

ng to work with your budget and keeps you honest. Don't just consider, but CHOOSE YJDecorating for your wedding — you won't regret it.

The day of our wedding, we received a torrential downpour of rain right when the guests were arriving. With no overhang at our venue (Victoria in the Park), Yvonne offered to have one of her team members help the guests inside with her umbrella- definitely not in her job description, but what a show of character! We very much appreciated the gesture, and while that really should have been the venues responsibility, YJ Decorating stepped up and took care of our guests. Above and Beyond! Highly recommend Yvonne and her team for all of your floral needs- they do not disappoint!

erfection. What really sets YJDecorating apart is Yvonne's customer service and professionalism -- my mother's hair was windblown, and I saw Yvonne personally pin up her loose pieces before she walked down the aisle. She also fluffed my dress before my own walk down the aisle. That is the type of next-level service any couple can expect from YJDecorating.

r special day :)

dget. The team held a few preliminary calls with me to make sure we were nailing down exactly what I wanted - I didn't have a great vision, but I shared a few Pinterest photos, and we worked through every single detail to make sure they would deliver what I was looking for. They also showed me examples of what they had done in the past for inspiration to make sure they delivered what I wanted. Let me tell you; YJ delivered above and beyond what I ever could have imagined. They fulfilled my vision beyond what I could have expected. Everything from the ceremony (chuppah for Jewish weddings) to the escort card table to the reception tables was gorgeous and looked so amazing in the space. The team was beyond helpful and chipped in with my hair when it was windblown and fluffed my dress walking down the aisle. I also dropped off a lot of my personal items for the wedding to their warehouse, and they were able to set up everything up for me (such as table numbers, signage, etc.). You will be extremely happy with your florals if you go with YJ; they are in the business of making couples happy and want to make your wedding as beautiful as possible. I wish I could hire them again!

id to share her advice and opinions when we asked (and we definitely asked). Yvonne was always willing to work with us and talk through all the options, which was really helpful as we got closer to the wedding date. I do have to say though, she REALLY shined the day of the wedding. Because she’s a full service vendor who does draping and flowers and allllll the other things, it’s so much easier to coordinate everything. The venue looked perfect. Just absolutely perfect. She even stayed through the cocktail hour and helped me figure out how to fix a broken shoe!! When Yvonne says she wants a perfect wedding for you, she truly means it. She genuinely cares and will go out of her way to help you however she can. Could not recommend her enough! If it weren’t so expensive, I’d get divorced and remarried to my husband just so I could work with her again :). Love you, Yvonne!

y created a gorgeous display that I'm still receiving compliments about. Effortless to work with, gives you the best bang for your buck , amazing at reproductions. Also: Most people don't think about this much, but often flowers you may request in sample images might be out of season or simply unavailable regionally. Where Yvonne truly shined was her ability to replace flowers in my example bouquet with available blossoms that perfectly matched the feel and color scheme requested. Easily, by a grand margin, the best vendor we worked with. I had no worries, we didn't exchange a thousand emails. She just listened very closely, reassured me that it would be fine, I trusted in her vision and it was simply perfect. Additionally, she attended the wedding to supervise and it truly felt like such a gift to have her there. Wedding days are very anxious events and seeing the people who helped to put it together waiting at the ready to fix any small blunders is... absolutely priceless. I would recommend her for any large event.

ng absolutely nailed it! We met with Yvonne a couple times to walk through exactly what we wanted, and she did a great job showing us examples of work she has done in the past to make sure she fully understood our vision.  From the bouquets, to the statement piece at our head table, everything was absolutely beautiful. We had several guests comment on our floral decor and ask which company we used, and Yvonne went above and beyond on our wedding day. She even assisted my sister in bustling my dress after the ceremony! Would definitely recommend working with YJ Decorating!

erything turned out wonderful.

ally learning towards a Phantom of the Opera theme for our masquerade-style wedding on Halloween eve. Our venue was transformed into a presentation of elegant gold candelabras, luscious and full of black magic roses, creams, and foliage, with classic crystal candles on alternating tables. But what knocked it out of the park was an original creative piece designed by YJ from scratch. This masterpiece was a cascade of black magic roses, flowing out of a crystal chandelier, and twined into an arch framing our sweetheart table. This stunning focal point was presented in front of theatrical pinned drapery, again – highlighting the elegant, dramatic look and giving to the Phantom of the Opera theme. We didn’t know what to expect as we began the floral/décor process for our wedding. However, YJ Decorating was responsive and strived to create exactly what we had envisioned within our budget. To do this, YJ had built on our ideas by asking questions and presenting visual options to understand, clarify, communicate, and capture our dream. And they were successful! We highly recommend YJ Decorating for your floral décor needs. You won’t be disappointed!

nted in the girls’ bouquets and my own given how much I paid. $50 for a 5 rose bouquet is a lot. My bouquet was also missing one flower that I really thought I was going to have, but that might have been miscommunication and my own fault for not double checking the “detail” in the contract. Other than that the banquet was GREAT. From the centerpieces, head table to the couches outside. Loved it all.

smallest but it wasn't anything crazy either. I met Yvonne and was in LOVE- told her my budget right away, she was ALWAYS there to answer a question. She was honest with what we would get for the budget we had, and she made it RAIN! She had a solution for everything. Our budget didn't allow for the flowers we wanted on 19 tables plus head table, so she offered these beautiful thin, long, clear candlesticks (not the old, passe candelabras), and had 8 on each table. She showed me where I could save money and just her creation and passion is amazing. I'm sure all of the staff there is wonderful, but she truly made me feel special. So special, that she was able to be there on the day of my wedding. I have truly never worked with a vendor like her, and I have been in the wedding industry for quite a few years. She will be my only recommendation to all of my brides, fundraisers, and galas. Go with her if you like honesty and want your vision to come to life... and if you don't have a vision, she will give you so many ideas- you will not be disappointed. I love you Yvonne, Alex Mikulski + Matt Harrold

hey ask you for photos that you are inspired with and they create it for you. I was very impressed! They did a wonderful job. I would suggest this florist to anyone!

end this vendor more!

s able to feel completely relaxed on my wedding day knowing I was in great hands with them. 10/10 would recommend YJDecorating to any future brides out there!

brought everything to life!

andles in water as well as high centerpieces with beautiful, modern glass vases. The stars of the show were by far my bouquet, and the arrangement above us at the ceremony. There is an exit sign on the brick at Cafe Brauer that's quite ugly and as you can see, it was covered perfectly. This was then repurposed to our head table. I cannot even begin to describe the amount of guests and vendors, including my wedding planner and photographer, who raved about my STUNNING cascading bouquet. Some said it was the nicest they had ever seen! It was a replica of my mom's from the 90's with a more modern twist, and it was pretty unbelievable. Everything was perfect on our wedding day!

urse decor so I'm very happy we were working with them as they went above and beyond to help us and assure us of the new decor just a week before the big day. We would definitely recommend this vendor for your wedding.
