Whim Events & Floral Design

Where to start? My list about how amazing the WHIMen Natalie and Moira could go on forever. Let me start at the beginning, when I started wedding planning I read how important it was to have a «power team» of vendors, I researched high and low to find the perfect vendors to work with for our big day. My photographer referred me to Whim and I couldn’t be more grateful. I met Natalie for the first time at a coffee shop to discuss our wedding vision, I was greeted with a hug, a big smile, and left with clarity, excitement, and confidence in my florist! I even dragged my now husband to this meeting and he had a great time (that says a lot). Shortly after Natalie sent me the most gorgeous inspiration images that exceeded my expectations. A few months go by, I change my vision, they change their board for me, again perfection. At this point I was borderline obsessing to everyone I knew about my florist. As I got a little further into the wedding planning process I realized I was having some trouble balancing the logistics along with my demanding job. Whim stepped in again and we hired them to do our month of coordination. Natalie created the most detailed timeline I have ever seen, she included details I didn’t even know I needed to consider. She handled communication with all vendors with grace, charm, and professionalism. She allowed me to enjoy the special time before our wedding rather than being stressed out. On our wedding day both Natalie and Moira were there. I was SO excited to see them, at this point I felt like we were old friends and I was so happy to have them there. They pulled together a beautiful and seamless wedding for my husband and I. They took my vision and turned it into a reality. The flowers and their presentation were stunning. Everything went off without a hitch. All of my other vendors loved them and they were truly a huge part in creating the wedding of my dreams. Thank you Natalie and Moira! You ladies are the best! xoxo

My husband and I used Whim for flowers at our late November wedding, and we were thrilled! The Whimen understood my vision and color scheme immediately, and it became a reality! We did the «DIY Plus» package where Whim made the bouquets and ceremony arrangements and the bridesmaids and I got the flowers to make the centerpieces. It worked out so well! We had so much fun putting the centerpieces together the day before the wedding. Plus we saved a bit of money with the DIY part. Natalie and Moira were so accommodating and kind, and Kelsey was so organized with sending email updates and confirmations leading up the big day. Do yourself a favor and hire Whim for your wedding!

I cannot say enough good things about Whim. We used them for florals for our wedding in July 2015, and they were outstanding. Our flowers were gorgeous, unique, and exactly what we wanted. Natalie and Kelsey are SUPER organized and had me totally reassured that everything was on track during the planning process, and Moira is so creative and a total peach to work with! They absolutely exceeded our expectations. We did not use them for event planning, but they we so organized and responsive to our communications that I’d feel totally comfortable recommending them for that as well. These gals are awesome!

Whim literally MADE my wedding! I used to be a wedding coordinator, so I knew I needed someone to keep me from going into work mode. BUT I was nervous about finding a team who got my vision, which I could only describe as «Kate Spade Goes Camping,» and still made me feel involved and like it was my wedding. Whim did all that and more! Natalie and Moira and all the #whimen are absolutely incredible; whether it was suggesting the right vendor for paper or sourcing the perfect straws for the slurpee machine (7 – 11 wedding and all!), no detail was too small. Not too mention the incredible flowers! I’ve never been a huge flower person, in that I didn’t know exactly the blooms I wanted, just what I didn’t want. But Moira completely hit it out of the park! I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. I’m sad the wedding’s over just because I can’t hang with them anymore! Use Whim for flowers, planning or both! You won’t be sorry!

We were planning a largely DIY wedding and it was recommended to us that we hire a day-​of coordinator to make the event be less stressful for my bride and I. Needless to say, it was a great decision that we are SO glad we made.
Kelsey from Whim reached out to us and different intervals as the day-​of grew closer to collect details and other vendor information. As we approached the final weeks of preparation, she took over all of the communication we had with vendors. This was nice as we had our hands full with decorations and guest related logistics.
On the day of is where we really appreciated having everything out of our hands. We were both confident that Kelsey and Emily knew exactly what we wanted and how we wanted everything done. I literally did not talk to a single vendor all day, allowing me to concentrate on the ceremony setup, getting ready, and enjoying the day with all my closest friends and family. We also did not have a DJ, so reception introductions and specific songs and things like that were all given to Kelsey and it was executed just in the way that we wanted.
I can’t even imagine what our day would have been like without a coordinator, but I’m sure we’d be spending less time having fun and more answering questions and dictating schedules and generally stressing about everything. This purchase was worth every penny!

Whim was so great to work with for my October 25, 2014 wedding. I used them for flowers and day of– so I worked with Natalie for big picture stuff, Moira for flowers, and Kelsey was my DOC. All three ladies were wonderful! Natalie is super organized, Moira will give you a whole flower lesson and has a wonderful vision, and Kelsey was a life saver for the day of, I would have had a completely different wedding experience without her. Above all, besides the great work, they were the vendor that just had me the most excited for my wedding– they are genuine, kind, happy people.

When we first picked our wedding venue, we were worried that we lacked the creativity and time needed to really do the space justice. We knew we wanted to be involved in the decorative process, but we also knew we needed some expertise and guidance to pull everything together. I first noticed Whim for their beautiful flowers. I reached out to them and learned more about their décor options and custom design packages. I knew they were a perfect fit for what we needed.
The Whim team is flexible, responsive and always willing to work with you and your budget. They are always excited and enthusiastic about your wedding and the planning process — we always looked forward to meeting with them! They came up with a design plan, allowed us to pick certain elements we wanted help executing, and also prepared our floral arrangements. Whim went above and beyond, and we could not have been happier with the end result. I can honestly say I was not worried one bit on our wedding day regarding how everything would look knowing we had Whim helping us out — this team is amazing. My husband and I both agree that working with Whim was the best decision we made for our wedding.

My fiancé and I got engaged in May of 2013 and began planning our September 2014 wedding right away. We chose a completely DIY venue so I knew we would need help. I’d heard only wonderful things about the customizable wedding planning and florals at Whim so I knew where I was going.
Whim was, hands down, the best planning choice we made for our wedding! Natalie and Moira are incredible! As soon as you meet them and step into their flower filled studio you feel like they’ve been your friends forever. They are all about YOU and bringing your vision to life.
I was anxious about coordinating all of the vendors, décor, and all of the little things I knew I hadn’t even thought of! Natalie completely put my mind at ease — with the customizable planning packages she could be there to fill in all of the blanks. She helped coordinate with vendors (and had our backs with any conflicts that arose), together with Moira they created a spectacular design and floral plan that incorporated every vision Corey and I had, and they made sure everything was perfect.
When it came to the day-​of, Natalie and her team were unbelievable! Our wedding, which had A LOT of outside vendors and moving parts, went off without a single problem. Everything was PERFECT! I don’t know how Natalie does it, but she will make your day everything you’ve dreamed and more. I could go on and on about how amazing this team is. Please do yourself a favor and hire Whim for your wedding.

I’m not sure where to start. Having Moira, Natalie and Kelsey as part of my wedding day was beyond words. They offer so much to your day. Whim went above and beyond all expectations. Whim is an amazing team who will put their hearts into helping you to create the most memorable, beautiful wedding day. Natalie was very helpful from start to finish– through discussing my budget to making sure I had a plan for my centerpieces at the end of the night. She was always accessible from the minute I inquired about her help through the following 11 months.
Moira created my beautiful bridal bouquets, boutonnieres and DIY flower selection. For the flower selection we took a trip to the Boston Flower Market. After a fun morning of finding the most unusual flowers and brightest coral tones, we knew Moira was ready to run with it! No matter what you’re thinking, Moira will help you express that through flowers! It is clear she loves her job and is honored to be a part of creating the perfect flower assortment for you. It was a pleasure to be so hands on with the florist and our options were truly limitless. Our DIY flowers came out great (so I say, but seriously they were gorgeous). Moira was sure to provide us with enough greenery, large blooms, and small blooms to make wonderful centerpieces ourselves!
Natalie and Kelsey rocked the day of coordination. Natalie helped about a month out with getting my vendors in order, setting up deliveries, planning setup and all those things that you don’t realize you need to figure out. Natalie organized everything– and I mean EVERYTHING. With all the many details you spend so much time thinking about, please do not forget the most important detail– your sanity! Natalie handles all communication with your vendors 2 weeks out from your wedding. Day of, Natalie helped to make sure everything was smooth, I did not have to worry about anything because I knew Natalie & her team had it covered. My husband has not stopped talking about how amazingly helpful it was to have Whim Events as part of our day. You may think you’ve got this whole wedding thing under control, but I guarantee that some of the best money you will spend will be with Whim.

I could not have had a better experience! My budget was limited, and Whim Events was determined to give us exactly what we wanted. Natalie and Moira are experienced and busy in the business, yet they make you feel like your wedding is the moment they’ve been waiting for. I recommend that everyone meet with various vendors, and Whim should be one of the first.

The short review: Natalie, Moira, and the rest of the Whim team completely surpassed our expectations when they planned our August wedding this past summer, and my bride and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
The long review: We were initially skeptical of the need for a wedding coordinator, concerned that it might turn out to be an unnecessary expense. In fact, Natalie kept our wedding — approximately 160 guests, at a non-​traditional venue that required we bring in EVERYTHING, from caterer to toiletries — completely on-​track. Natalie greeted our endless requests for design changes, more information, and price comparisons on competing vendors with unyielding grace, and a genuine smile and warm demeanor throughout. She really proved her worth when, approximately eight weeks before the event, she provided us with a weekly calendar of deliverables leading up to the big day (for example «On this Friday, I’ll need a finalized guest list and choice on floral design, on the following Friday I’ll need payments for vendors X, Y, and Z…»). She took something that seemed so overwhelmingly complicated and broke it down to digestible parts, and we were able to feel in control of the decision process throughout.
Her design team was able to take our ideas, and turn them into something beautiful and cohesive, and they were able to hear our criticisms of their designs with no ego or pushback, though she would argue for something, based on her previous experiences, if she felt it would help us – this was also greatly appreciated.
Finally, through sheer coincidence, we happened to attend another wedding earlier in the season that was also handled by Natalie. This event had an aesthetic all its own, and was equally fabulous, and I happen to know that the bride & groom were every bit as thrilled with Natalie as we were.
Our own wedding was truly the happiest day of our life, and while we were blessed with cooperative weather, we really have Natalie to thank for everything else. She took our vision and executed it so perfectly, from the moment we first met up until the last vendor had been paid. If you are considering hiring a coordinator for your event, I can’t imagine you would find another one on par with Natalie, Moira, and Whim Events in the greater Boston area.

Natalie and Moira were amazing when it came to my wedding this last Thursday. From the beginning Natalie and I were on the same page and everything she created, from bouquets to arbor flowers to centerpieces were 100% what I had imagined. We had so many compliments all night on the work they did and I can’t wait for the professional photos.

I had an awesome experience with Whim Floral for my small family centered wedding in June 2014. I am a pretty picky bride and I had specific requests on the color scheme and the type of flowers I wanted. At the same time, I am also very non-​decisive so I would constantly change my mind and ask if they could accommodate it for me. Natalie (Event Coordinator & Business Operations) listened carefully to what I wanted and came up with a perfect combination of the two conflicting schemes I had in mind!!! It was like a dreams come true wedding to me.
I was also very limited in the budget, and perhaps because it was a Monday wedding, Whim floral kindly worked under my tight budget while proposing flowers arrangements that turned out to be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I could tell that Natalie works in this industry just because she loves it so much.
Plus, you could also rent props, vase, wedding related items from Whim which I thought was a huge factor in choosing Whim floral. They have a whole inventory of things that may be useful for any type of events. I personally don’t like seeing items being used once and being wasted (which is usually the case in most wedding events), so if you are the type of person who are more environmentally conscious, I would definitely go for Whim floral.
I highly recommend whim floral for your weddings!!!

We got married in March and used Whim events for our floral package at a friend’s recommendation. We could not have been happier. Natalie and Moira were awesome to work with, able to flex their services to meet our budget, and were almost as excited about our ideas as we were. They also provided rental decorations to fit with our vision for the day, which saved me from having to consider every little detail and buy a bunch of things I would never use again.
After our meeting, Natalie worked with us via email to create the perfect package for us – sending inspiration pictures (including some from my own pinterest board) so that we knew what Whim had in mind. She must have tweaked the proposal at least 3 times without ever getting impatient with me. She was super responsive throughout the entire process, which is impressive because for a while it felt like I emailed her almost every day.
The day of the wedding, the girls who delivered our flowers and decorations were on time, professional, and (maybe most important on your wedding day) self-​sufficient. I could not have asked for more.
If you’re looking for the perfect addition to your wedding day «team», you won’t be disappointed in Whim.

I got married August 4, 2013 at the Overbrook House in Buzzard’s Bay and hired Whim as day-​of event planners. I met Natalie and Caitlin for coffee and knew instantly I was in the right hands. Easy to talk to and fun, but also highly organized — I liked their style and suggestions and felt they would do a great job.
Caitlin ended up being the planner in charge and was wonderful about meeting twice before the wedding just to chat over details and allay all my fears. She made up a very helpful timeline, contacted all our vendors and offered to help with various pickups and deliveries to happen before the day. I really wanted someone just to help out on the day of the wedding which I got, but also someone to think of little details and go out of her way during the days leading up to the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, lots of little things kept coming up but she helped our event go off without a hitch. Kelsey came and helped out too and was super helpful as well. Various pieces of equipment went missing and she ran around the venue and found them. We had a completely unexpected rain shower and she made sure everything stayed dry. We ended up running out of cups and ice and she went to the store to get more. Things that could have been minor disasters were immediately addressed and solved by Caitlin and it meant I could truly enjoy the day without every having to stress the details. I’d recommend Whim to any bride in a heartbeat!
Thanks Whim for helping to make our big day so fun and stress-​free!

First Unilocal review ever… hmmm where to begin!
Whim events was the best thing that ever happened to our wedding! They made everything super easy and they were VERY responsive to any inquiries and very flexible about phone calls and meetings. I live on the west coast and they would often schedule phone calls late in their evenings to meet my needs (being 3 hours behind). I always felt like I was their only client and we were never rushed to make any decisions and if our vision changed, Whim was awesome about making the appropriate adjustments to make sure we were getting the wedding we wanted during the planning process. Natalie was also VERY professional when dealing with my family members who had a bit of a «different opinion» than i did with a few things ;) (let’s face it… EVERYONE has an opinion about your wedding). Natalie was VERY tactful and descrete when helping me with that type of stuff.
As for the day of the wedding… having the Whim team there was hands down the best choice. Whim handled all of the venders, guests and making sure each vendor was tipped and that EVERY ONE of our guests was happy. They set aside food (& cocktails) for me and my husband during the photos and then again during the dancing. They think of EVERYTHING. Whim coordinated/​managed the band and music during their breaks. Basically my husband and I didn’t have to think of anything and (to this day) have NO clue if anything went «wrong».
Long story short… i HIGHLY recommend.

We had the chance to work with the ladies of Whim recently and they are not only fabulous, but absolutely incredible at what they do! Natalie and Moira styled our engagement shoot with Summer Street Photography and their gorgeous design and attention to detail made our shoot super special.
Prior to the shoot, I met with Natalie at a coffee shop in Harvard Square and she instantly made me feel comfortable, getting to know me on a personal level. After telling Natalie about our favorite vacation spot, Napa Valley and Sonoma, Natalie suggested a «wine and cheese» picnic theme for our shoot. Upon leaving the meeting, I couldn’t have been more excited about our upcoming engagement photos.
Unfortunately, we had to cancel our shoot not once but twice due to rain, but ladies at Whim were so flexible in rescheduling.
On the day of the shoot, we were absolutely blown away by the set up. The attention to detail was incredible and what struck us the most was that it was so personal. From the hand-​selected cheese and wine to the hand-​written menu board and adorable yellow blanket, it was clear that Natalie and Moira put a ton of thought into creating the perfect setting for our engagement photos.
We can’t thank them enough for helping to contribute to our beautiful photos — and for being so FUN in the process. Thank you, Whim!

My wedding was September 21, 2012 in Topsfield, MA at the Willowdale Estate. I booked our venue back in the the Spring of 2011, and once I had that settled, I started researching vendors… I think flowers were the hardest, I had no idea about colors, whats in season, and I had no real vision for the day that early in the process. I searched wedding blogs and spent a lot of hours looking at wedding photography blogs (they usually credit the florist)…I came across Whim in the fall of 2011.
My now husband and I met Natalie and Moira on a cold rainy day in October at a coffee shop in Harvard Square. They patiently listened to me babble on about ideas for our wedding and then looked through websites and a TON of post-​it note flagged wedding magazines (I was a bit OCD in the beginning of the the planning process). The listened to my husband talk all about how he loved ferns, and how they reminded him of where he grew up etc… We left that morning, and cancelled our other floral appointments. We both knew that they were going to do a great job, you could feel how really passionate they are about creating a vision for weddings. They were both so down to earth and seemed genuinely excited to help us.
In the summer of 2012, just a few months before the wedding, Natalie and Moira took my mom, husband and I to the Boston Flower Market. Let me preface with this by saying my mom is obsessed with crafty things, and took a weekly floral design class when I was growing up, she was so excited to have the chance to go into the market. Natalie and Moira were great showing us around and talking about all the options (and chatting with my Mom about the flower market in general). This was the best part of the planning, my husband and I were able to point at things we loved and didn’t, show them colors we liked etc.
Now for the wedding, It was the best day ever, and no one could have helped me more with the finishing touches more than Whim. I was back and forth on the use of burlap runners and sent Natalie like 50 emails 2 weeks before the wedding. Everything was beautiful. All of our centerpieces were so unique and all AMAZING, so full of color and texture. They were the best selections of flowers I have ever seen. My bouquet was gorgeous. I actually cried the next morning when i thought it was missing. My bridesmaids and my husband and I’s mothers loved their bouquets, My Husband loved his boutonnière (complete with baby ferns) and everything just looked so perfect, and all of our guests raved about the flowers. I cant say enough about Whim, and how at ease I felt knowing that even though I couldn’t say exactly what I wanted at times, Natalie and Moira would be able to make it all look so fabulous. Even after the wedding was over, Natalie and Moira were great with helping my mom figure out how to preserve my bouquet. Whim Events and Floral Design will always be my go to recommendation to anyone for all things flowers and wedding!

I hired Whim Events & Floral Design for my August wedding at the referral of my wedding planner. My fiancé and I both agreed flowers were not very important to us in the grand scheme of things as they tend to be expensive and (obviously) temporary but we did want some visual «pop» to the wedding and my planner thought Moira would be a perfect fit. The initial meeting went really well; Moira is young, creative and passionate about what she does — she would get visibly excited when we talked about certain ideas. She brought magazines and her portfolio and we discussed types of flowers, styles of bouquets, etc. She had some great ideas and I left feeling confident she’d be able to do something nice within a reasonable budget.
Our second meeting was in our venue and Moira brought examples of different centerpieces. I have no idea how she did it, but she used that first, pretty general discussion to create exactly what we were looking for! She used candles and mirrors accented with flowers (to keep down costs and help light the dark venue) and created little sculptural masterpieces with greens in vases. I was pretty impressed.
Well, if I was impressed then, I was BLOWN AWAY when I got to the wedding venue the day of. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and we got so many compliments about how unique the hanging centerpieces were. (Words can’t really describe them, but images are here:
) A lot of the negotiation and back-​and-​forth was handled through my planner but any and all interaction I did have with Moira and her team was extremely positive. And at the end of the day, she created a beautiful floral vision on my wedding day for an *extremely* good price. I would recommend Whim Florals and Moira’s creative genius to anyone!

Moira was the creative genius behind the flowers for our June wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! We gave her some basic color & flower type guidelines, and then let her work her magic. The sample arrangements were amazing, and the real thing came together perfectly at our venue. It was exactly what we’d hoped for! She’s great about working with your budget and bringing your ideas to life. Everyone commented on how unique the flowers were!
Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future of Whim Events :-)
