  STUNNING - Best Florist in the Pittsburgh Area

  Karrie was an absolute JOY to work with while planning my wedding. Her beautiful shop which is conveniently located in Sewickley, PA was cozy and inviting. Karrie spent an IMMENSE amount of time working with me to make my vision of my perfect wedding flowers come to life. Her professionalism & expertise were the reason my flowers turned out as artistic and elegant as they did. She was even able to incorporate my dream of having succulents in my bridal bouquet. Karrie is affordable, yet provides the highest of quality for all of her work. I simply showed up the day of my wedding and her team had decorated my venue to match my vision perfectly. From my bridal flowers & bridesmaid bouquets, to the ceremony decorations, reception center pieces, and more, I couldn't have been more impressed with the work she did for my wedding. I would recommend Karrie Hlista to my closest friends for any occasion. I am so thankful I found her for my wedding & and so blessed she was able to make my wedding SO beautiful.

  Beautiful And Meticulous Work!

  Karrie and her team did an amazing job on the floral arrangements for our wedding day! She took two inspiration photos and created an amazing look for our venue. Everything was perfect and I wouldn’t change anything! Truly talented!

  Karrie was fantastic. She provided the flower arrangements for my sister’s bridal shower. The flowers were exactly like I imagined. She even worked directly with the venue to coordinate delivery without me asking.

  Beautiful arrangements and great service!

  Karrie did a great job in creating our bridal party flowers, church flowers, and cake topper. She took my style notes and added her creative touches to make absolutely stunning bouquets. We didn't have floral centerpieces and were not a full service wedding, meaning we needed to pick up the flowers ourselves. The day before the wedding I took a peak at my bouquet while picking up our cake flowers and had a request for a change in one of the flowers included. The shop made this change within the 24 hours before pickup on our wedding day without any hesitation even though they surely had other weddings to work on. I was incredibly impressed by this level of service and it really suggested to me that every one of their weddings is a priority. In addition to the great service we received, I can say that their prices were some of the more reasonable I found while researching florists in the area.

  Karrie did an amazing job on my bouquets and boutonnières. I didn’t get a full-service package from Karrie because my mother-in-law was ordering our centerpieces, but after 2 short phone calls and a few inspirational photos, I could tell Karrie knew exactly what I was envisioning. I didn’t see the bouquets until my wedding day, but I knew I was in good hands. I was so impressed with her work, as well as her ability to know what I was looking for just from a few short conversations. I received so many compliments on our bouquets, and all the colors she mixed in. I have no idea how you were able to merge my vibrant and antique looks, but you completely nailed it! Thank you!

  Karrie was absolutely AMAZING! Her creativity is truly one of a kind. Some brides have been planning their special day since they were 5 (not me!), but after spending just 2 hours with Karrie, she designed the entire day from start to finish. She was able to design my perfect wedding day based on the few pictures I showed her from Pinterest-- it was like she could read my mind! Karrie is extremely professional, responsive, and did an excellent job staying within my budget while still providing multiple options to choose from. I had staff from the hotel come up to me before, during, and after our reception to tell me that our centerpieces and flowers were some of the best they have ever seen! I could not be happier with the service I received from Karrie Hlista Designs; I would 100% recommend Karrie to any bride looking for an exceptional florist in the Pittsburgh area.

  Absolutely amazing! Choosing Karrie was truly one of the best (and easiest) decisions of the wedding planning process for me! She quickly caught on to my vision for florals and on my wedding day everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I will never forget walking into our reception venue and being absolutely blown away by Karrie's work. She is also so professional, organized, responsive and kind and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

  Karrie was able to take my many, many ideas from Pinterest, random thoughts, and emails and turn them into something so beautiful for our wedding day. The bouquets were stunning, and exactly how she described it would be. There were no surprises the day of the wedding. We had an industrial- chic themed wedding, and she was able to bring in the feminine juxtaposition I wanted to counter balance the brick, wood and metal decorations. She created illuminated curly willow "trees" for our ceremony that were exactly what I had pictured in my head. We opted to buy them, rather than rent, and I'm happy to say they are a beautiful addition to our home, and a great way to remember our wedding day. She worked with our budget, that was on the moderate/low end of the flower spectrum - but you wouldn't think that having seen the beautiful arrangements.

  Karrie did an absolutely fantastic job with our flowers! I was working with a very strict floral budget, and my wedding planner recommended Karrie as someone who could create a truly beautiful and artistic display while respecting the budget that I wanted to stay within, and she really delivered! My flowers looked extraordinary and I really could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out. Karrie really listened to me when we had our consultations and helped me to bring my vision to life at the wedding. She created displays that were striking without being over the top. She perfectly captured my vision of having a clean and classic look with all ivory flowers. She was able to recommend which varieties wouldn't break the bank, but would still look striking, and the result was nothing short of perfect. Thanks so much, Karrie, for making our wedding ceremony and reception look so perfectly beautiful!

  Karrie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is extremely professional. She is very prompt in responding to emails, which I really appreciated. And we had multiple calls to go over all of the details for my wedding, which really helped to put me at ease knowing that nothing was missing and that I had everything I wanted for our wedding day. I had a budget that I wanted to stick to, and unlike some other florists that I reached out to for quotes, Karrie was very willing to work with me and make sure that she stayed within that budget while still making sure that the flowers were everything I wanted them to be. Also, I made a few changes the week of my wedding and Karrie was very flexible and accommodating.
  
  Beyond all of that, the flowers at my wedding were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I wanted the design to be classic and elegant, but not boring, and they were exactly that. My guests kept telling me how beautiful everything looked and I was so happy with how it all came out. The day of, Karrie's team was right on time and got everything done very quickly. I didn't have to worry at all about the set up, which as the bride, was wonderful.
  
  Karrie is an extremely talented and professional florist and I can't recommend her more highly!

  Since the first time I spoke with Karrie over the phone, I knew she was going to be wonderful to work with. She was professional and organized as well as extremely flexible ( I was planning the wedding out of state). She listened to my budget guidelines and took time to discuss available options. She was easy to contact and responsive to my needs if I had more questions or needed to make changes to my designs. Her flowers exceeded my expectations and she truly knew what I wanted my wedding to look like! I cannot say enough good things about her work!

  My mom and I met with Karrie months ago when looking for a florist in the Pgh area. We knew right away that it would be a perfect match! Karrie was very flexible and accommodating to work with my schedule (as I live out of state). She was very professional and took her time explaining all the options and ideas. I just knew she saw my vision and I feel so confident and comfortable that she will make my wedding day amazing! I am so excited to work with her and highly recommend!

  Karrie did an absolutely amazing job on all the florals for our wedding. The flowers were so beautiful! Ten days before the wedding we found out the ranunculus for the boutenieres and centerpieces we wanted didnt grow well so the supplier said he wasn't going to be able to send them. Instead of just having us change designs to more accessible flowers, Karrie took the time and called suppliers all around the world and found a supplier overseas who could send the flowers I wanted in time for the wedding. Everything was perfect from the bouquets and boutenieres to the centerpieces!
  
  Karrie was so wonderful to work with and I definitely recommend Karrie Hlista Designs to everyone!

  Karrie Hlista was extremely professional throughout the whole process beginning with meeting to discuss ideas to the execution of her products. She was eager about working with us which added positiveness to the wedding planning process. She was willing and WANTED to take creative lead on the bouquets and decorations which is what we wanted from a florist. She was honest, responsible, and direct with the information and products. The final bouquets, flowers, centerpieces, etc. were absolutely beautiful and better than we imagined!
  
  I recommend to future brides/grooms to ask about a runner for the church as we were not aware that florists could supply this at the church.

  Karrie was amazing, I gave her vague ideas of what I was thinking of and she took the reins and made gorgeous arrangements and a beautiful decor for both the church and reception venues. Without a doubt worth every penny!

  Absolutely amazing!!! I can't say thank you enough because of Karrie my wedding was magical. I had my reception at the Carnegie Museum which is beautiful but when I walked in after Karrie transformed the ballroom I was blown away. It felt like a fairytale, she went above and beyond my expectations. Karrie has an artistic vision and I am truly grateful I found her. She is a true professional from beginning to end. All of my guest could not stop talking about my gorgeous flowers. Karrie you are amazing and are highly recommended!

  I came with a very specific idea about the particular flowers I wanted in my wedding, and Karrie was able to incorporate them into a gorgeous design for our personal flowers, the church and our entire reception space. Coming from a background in the floral industry I was a pretty tough wedding customer. The flowers were in beautiful bloom (not tightly closed buds or blown-open and falling apart) on our wedding day and the arrangements were spectacular. We got so many compliments from our guests as well as our other vendors.

  Karrie did such an amazing job to make our wedding special. She created unique artwork for us, using flowers and plants. Everything was gorgeous! She listened to our needs and our vague requirements to create arrangements that were "us". I can't imagine our wedding without Karrie. She was incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with.

  I absolutely loved the flowers at my wedding thanks to Karrie and her amazing talents! They were a true work of art. Karrie was so helpful from day 1 and provided suggestions and her expertise while always keeping your wants and desires in mind. She was truly a professional and a joy to work with, extremely organized, reliable and fun. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I received regarding the beautiful floral arrangements - the style and vivid colors were beautiful and I loved the creative, artsy flair. I highly recommend Karrie Hlista Designs and believe that you will be just as happy as me!

  I love Karrie! I got married on a farm, with the reception in a barn called The Hayloft. I had some atypical ideas (for example, I didn't want only two colors as my wedding color scheme; I wanted "fall" colors that weren't orange and brown) and I had a set budget. Also, I was planning my western PA wedding but I live in New York City, so everything had to be done long distance.
  
  I went to four different Pittsburgh florists and gave them my parameters. Karrie was the best, hands down.
  
  Karrie is the only one who immediately embraced the non-traditional ideas I had for my wedding. She threw out tons of ideas - way more than the other florists. She didn't give me a hard time for not knowing the types and names of random flowers, which was always frustrating when I would talk to other florists. And, unlike other vendors, she didn't tell me that I simply MUST pick two or three colors to be my wedding colors.
  
  What sealed the deal for me was that she stayed within my budget while still giving me fresh ideas. She didn't automatically resort to the usual fluffy filler-flowers that don't cost a lot but take up a lot of room in a bouquet. She suggested affordable flowers that I hadn't seen at the dozens of other weddings I've attended.
  
  She was as into my vintage, farm ideas as I was. She would send me pictures out of nowhere, saying "I just saw this and thought of you!" She talked to me over the phone while presenting pictures to me via email.
  
  I loved working with her and I got so many compliments on the flowers that day. She turned the bare rafters and tables in the barn into a beautiful setting that won the resounding approval of my hard-to-please relatives who were wary of our barn reception idea.
  
  Karrie made my life easy and was one of my favorite wedding-planning memories.

  The first time I met Karrie face to face was on the day of my wedding. All of our communications were over the phone & via e-mail, so I was honestly assuming that details would get lost in translation, but everything was perfect. I was so impressed with her organization and she gave such great input & ideas that never crossed my mind. I had such a great experience working with her & would highly recommend her for in & out of town brides!
