Melia met with us for a consultation in March. She was very receptive to what we wanted, and had a lot of pictures and suggestions when we weren't sure about a particular detail.

I'm a little sad I didn't get to see her when she delivered the flowers on wedding day, because I really wanted to tell her how beautiful everything looked. She did a fantastic job with my bouquet of callas and gerbera daisies. The bridesmaids' bouquets were bright and fun. The arch was my husbands deal (I didn't care what it looked like), and he just loved what she did and how she had listened to what he wanted. All of the boutonnières and corsages turned out the way I imagined, and everyone was just really happy with the way everything looked and held up through the night (no wilting or browning that anyone could find!).

We didn't do any shopping around-Melia was our first and only choice, so I don't have any kind of price comparison. We had a huge flower/greenery arch (the bulk of the cost), 2 bridesmaids and 1 bridal bouquet, 13 boutonnières, 7 corsages, rose petals for the aisle, and decorations for the cake/cake table. We didn't do any centerpieces for the reception. The final cost was around $1,200. Meet with her and find out what a cost might be for your wedding. It's worth it, she just does great work, and is great to work with!

All I can say is, wow, she is good.

We had met with Melia a few times to review and finalize our concept for the design on our wedding day. Since a lot of our ideas were just words on paper, with no pictures, it was hard to really envision what it would really look like.

But on my wedding day, I was lucky enough to see the flowers before anyone else and I was completely stunned by how beautiful everything looked. I just took a moment and stared at them. She had done a beautiful arch and put a number of our centerpieces along the aisle so the whole place lit up with flowers. I had looked at many pages of magazines full of flower photos, and nothing compared to the dream that Melia put together. We had some guests comment that our ceremony looked like a Disney fairytale.

She is so creative, and has a real talent in floral design. If you give a picture of something you like, she can re-create that for you. My bouquet looked just like the photo I provided. One of my bridesmaids (probably the pickiest girl on the planet) told me on my wedding day that she first thought my bouquet was made with fake flowers, until she looked up closely at it. That was how beautiful it looked, the flowers she uses are such good quality, and its hard to imagine that they are all real.

We got tons of compliments on the flowers from our wedding guests, and we would highly recommend her.
