Floral Creations by Melissa

Melissa is an absolutely wonderful florist! We were so happy to have her do our wedding flowers in August 2015 (at the Crocker Art Museum). From my very first email and phone conversations with her about a year prior, I knew that she was a complete professional, very warm, and also that she has amazing taste and design skills. She instantly understood our needs based on the scale and appearance of our venue, as well as our personal aesthetic, and she was also very respectful of our budget. (Wedding flowers can be totally extravagant and ridiculously expensive, which we definitely didn’t want. I’d received some surprisingly high estimates from other florists, which was concerning, but Melissa assured me quite accurately that our flowers would be beautiful no matter the price point.) My mom and I had one in-​person meeting with her before the wedding, wherein we went over details for all the arrangements, and Melissa also suggested some perfect ideas for finishing touches like ribbons.
On the day of, I was blown away by how perfect all the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, altar arrangements, and centerpieces were. Melissa and her assistant worked smoothly and seamlessly with our venue staff and our coordinator (Kate Whelan) to ensure that everything was in place at the right time. Melissa’s creations helped make our wedding both perfect and gorgeous, and we highly recommend her!

All of the reviews could not say it better… stop looking now you have found your florist!!! Melissa is AMAZING! She was so fun to work with and truly made my wedding day dreams come true within our budget. She went above and beyond what we asked of her and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous. All of our guests were commenting on the flowers.
I truly can’t say enough great things about her. You will not be disappointed… she is one of a kind. Do yourself a favor and book her! Thank you again Melissa!

Stop looking now! You have found your florist! Melissa is so amazing to work with and the floral arrangements she came up with were better than we could have imagined! She was super responsive to emails, even outside of business hours, and accommodated all of my wishes to the point that the final product was beyond my wildest imaginations. All of the guests at our wedding were in awe of the décor (and she really does most of the décor, not just the flowers) and kept asking who I had hired! From the beginning, Melissa really listens to what your vision is and what sorts of imagery inspires you. I gave her a link to my pinterest account and she took that to a whole new level (she even came up with wood rounds to use for centerpieces and a log to place the cake on!) but stayed within our budget which was so so helpful. I highly recommend her for all of your floral needs. :)

Melissa was beyond amazing and the sweetest person I have ever dealt with. She made my wedding turn into a fairytale come true. Everything just looked absolutely amazing. I am very sad to not be working with her anymore. But hopefully in the future I will be able to again. She is as good as it gets and there is no doubt about that. You want an amazing mind blowing wedding I would def use Melissa!!! Thank you so so so so much for making mine PERFECT!!!

LOVE MELISSA!!! she is super sweet and flexible. I have changed a billion things in my wedding so far and she has not made a single fuss about it. My wedding is in October so I have not seen the finished product yet but her customer service is outstanding! I would highly recommend her!!!

Melissa did flowers for my wedding in April 2014 and I could not have been happier. She was a pleasure to work with, responded quickly, and she was very organized! She went above and beyond by helping oversee set up of the centerpieces as well as other decorations I had planned. All she wanted was some helpers and she took charge and made it beautiful.
She was willing to help me make my vision happen while still working within my budget. My favorite thing of all… she decorated the arch we used in the ceremony and then later for our «photo booth» and it was absolutely amazing. I kept sneaking glances at it during my ceremony! :) The bouquets and corsages were big and gorgeous, and the centerpieces were perfect.
I will recommend her to anyone and everyone I know who needs a florist for any occasion. I can’t even thank her enough, and I probably will name my first born after her… she was that amazing! (i kid, i kid) :)
Thanks again Melissa!

Melissa did a wonderful job with the flowers for my daughter’s wedding. The tall table centerpieces were breathtaking. I instantly liked her when we met, she was so warm and always smiling.

Melissa is AMAZING! She exceeded our expectations! She is very easy to work with and very reasonably priced! Definitely would recommend her to anyone!

We hired Melissa to do our flowers for our wedding in 2008 at the Croatioan American Cultural Center. I am STILL getting compliments about the flowers from that day. I was BLOWN away at the beauty of her arrangements. After working with her on a color scheme, and the flowers I wanted she was VERY reasonably priced and so sweet and easy to work with. I was on a budget and was worried my flowers might not be as nice as I would have wanted because I couldnt get as many as one would hope looking in all the fabulous bridal magazines, but come wedding day I was speechless at the beauty that went into everything she touched. It looks like I had spent a million bucks on flowers. Melissa set everything up and every detail was flawless. We had 28 centerpieces, my bouquet, 5 BMS, 3 Jr BMs and 2 flower girls, 2 large topiaries for the stage, flowers on the cake table, runner, mens flowers etc etc — every last flower was BEAUTIFUL! If you are looking for an amazing person, with a great personality, with afforable costs and works WONDERS with flowers you will be SOOO happy you called Melissa.
In fact I was so happy with her work, I am throwing a 30^th bday bash this weekend in my home and for a VERY resonable price she is coming to decorate my house in all my favorite flowers! She is coming to me, setting up and arranging at my house using my vases so I dont have to deal with any returns after a big party and she does everything in her van so it doesnt leave big mess. For what I am getting with delivery and several onsite arrangements I could have ordered 1 arrangement on 1800flowers and probably have been upset at how small it was… I am so excited to have an occasiaon to work with her again.
I am so happy with Melissa and will be a lifetime flower shopper with her! Trust me, shes amazing.
