I booked Solabee in December 2017 for my May wedding. When I was looking for a florist, I had no idea the weekend we picked, a holiday, was the busiest weekend for florists everywhere. After interviewing several florists who were slow to respond, or obviously did not get my vision or were lacking customer service, I finally met Antonia with Solabee, who sat down with me for an hour at their gorgeous shop over a fine cuppa tea and really took the time to pour over my exhaustive Pinterest board to glean my vision for my wedding. She actually did this again as my venue changed so I needed to update and expand my order. My wedding theme was true vintage, Scandinavian (Danish/Swedish), and romantic. My wedding color was true pink in various light shades and I wanted true pale pink peonies, delicate ferns, and for my bouquet, I wanted calla lilies and lily of the valley. I was not doing a lot of decor as our historic venue was already very elegant, so I relied heavily on flowers as my main decor feature. I loved that Solabee allowed for a modest deposit and had a reasonable final payment date. The whole process working with Solabee is what it should be like working with any wedding vendor; sadly, so many other wedding industry and florist vendors know they can charge a lot due to the "wedding tax" without actually earning it, but Solabee is WORTH.EVERY.PENNY. I had a very small overall wedding budget, and still doubled my floral budget, and would gladly do it again for the oustanding experience and craftsmanship of Solabee. The only thing I would have chamges, it would be to have the flowers delivered. Due to their schedule and large scale of business that holiday weekend, they were not able to accommodate two deliveries to both our accommodations and our venue on our wedding day, but it was easy enough to have a friend pick up our large order.
Antonia was sooo incredibly wonderful to work with; I could not have been luckier having her design our bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flower crowns, flowergirl baskets, centerpieces and table arrangements, altar piece, and candleabra arrangements. Everything was STUNNING!!! Everyone was so taken with the flowers and they made a beautiful wedding completely extraordinary! When I walked into our venue for the first time, I was brought to tears at how transformed the the flowers made the space. Antonia's artistry and attention to detail shined through. Antonia easily understood my vision, and made it happen. One VERY happy Bride here.
