Our Services
For your wedding, party, bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah we offer an initial two hour complimentary consultation.
Floral Design
As a custom floral designer, we do not have a price list or generic package pricing. Everything we design and build for you is unique and one-of-a-kind. As with any designer, prices will vary depending on the type of flowers and materials selected plus the number and size of the arrangements. Each of these choices will increase or decrease the overall cost as determined by your personal tastes and needs. We pride ourselves in working within every client's budget to attain the most elegant floral presentation.
We invite you to make an appointment so we can become better acquainted. It will allow you the opportunity to share with us your tastes, ideas, passions, interests, or whatever is important in helping us create a customized design plan for your special event. At that time you can also view our portfolios to help us understand the individual floral detail you prefer. Following our initial consultation we will provide you a detailed written proposal. If you choose to engage our services, we will meet with you as necessary to finalize every detail and assure the floral presentations you select will elegantly complement your celebration.

Dear Tatiana,
I just wanted to once again thank you for your stunning flowers. I knew when we met that you very artistic, but I did not truly realize the scope of your talent. Our guests have all commented on the exquisite flower arrangements. In fact the ULC members, and others in attendance, said that they thought the flowers in the main dining room were the most beautiful that they had ever seen in there. In fact, one of the guests was overheard to say that the place was beautiful enough for the Queen of England. You are an incredible designer who goes above and beyond your clients' expectations. You definitely understand how to create an elegant setting that leaves guests with a lasting impression. Your personal attention, understanding of people's desires, and your beautiful seasonal flowers all combined to create our daughter's "WOWEEE Wedding" and garner comments that it was the most beautiful event that people had ever attended.
Fondly,
Donna
