We were referred to Hazel Designs by our wedding planners. We spent $5,000 on floral for a small wedding that included one bridal bouquet, 10 table centerpieces, suspended greenery, 3 floor arrangements, arbor floral, colorful bud vases/market flowers, and a few misc. accent florals. All vases were purchased separately and were not included in the floral cost.
Leading up to the wedding Annika was difficult to communicate with, did not provide any floral mockups, and did not send an invoice or contract until 19 days before our wedding. Once we finally received an invoice, we wanted to scale back just a bit to stay closer to our budget. She charged us an extra $60 design fee for “last minute” changes. I’ll be honest, that was very frustrating considering the ONLY reason our requested changes were last minute is because she didn’t send an invoice earlier. We were understandably nervous about her overt lack of professionalism, but we stuck with her because our wedding planners assured us that she always comes through on the day of.
Our planners were correct – she came through on the day of and exceeded our expectations! She was on time and professional. She transformed an empty greenhouse into a beautiful, lush setting and the dinner table looked like something out of a magazine. We LOVED the bridal bouquet ($250); the suspended greenery over the aisle ($900); the cut bamboo greenery for the greenhouse walls ($280); and the floor arrangements ($340). For the table centerpieces, we ordered 4 large and 6 small centerpieces ($610) to have some height variety. We received 10 beautiful arrangements that were all the same size. Although we loved how the centerpieces looked, it is worth noting that it was not what we ordered. We were not happy with the reception florals (colorful flowers for 24 small bud vases). She charged us $12 for just the floral in each, for a total of $288 and that was definitely overpriced for what we received.
All in all, the positives outweighed the negatives and we’re grateful for all the work the Hazel Design team did to make our wedding magical.
