The only reason that I went 4.5 on the value is because I know they are on the pricey side, but they were an included vendor with my Ovation yacht cruise for my reception.I absolutely love the work they did. Loved it. They took the time to adjust for me needs and taste, and even allowed me to make a last-minute addition when I learned there was a significant change in family attendance. The flowers are fresh and beautiful, the designs are as traditional or modern as you want them to be, and they really consider your needs and personality when creating. Very impressive.

The team at Emerade City Designs truly know the flower business. My bouquets and floral arrangements were awesome. Some of my favorite wedding photos are those that showcase my flowers. I was able to select my favorite flowers to create my bouquets, but the books and descriptions don't do justice to the fabulous work created by Emeral City Designs! We are truly thankful to them for making our wedding day truly spectacular!

Emerald City Designs did a fantastic job for our wedding on the Infinity Yacht. They were even flexible when I wanted to add feathers to everything and they even let me buy my own feathers online and ship them to their office. I didn't rate them higher on responsiveness because Nicole was only in the office Tues-Thurs and I rated them lower on value because I felt that their prices for their own feathers was expensive. Other than that, they were great and really made our day look and feel the way we wanted.

Nicole and everyone at Emerald City were great to work with. I didn't bring any pictures with me and Nicole was able to come up with EXACTLY what I wanted. The flowers were amazing. I was more than satisfied with their service and product. Thank you for making our day beautiful!!!!

Emerald City Designs helped to make our dream wedding a reality. We were so blown away with the flowers, tables and chairs. Nicole and David immediately understood our vision and were so much fun to work with. Even when the one rental piece they had promised was actually unavailable, they upgraded us to the even nicer piece at no extra cost. Our guests have not stopped complementing us on the decor and how beautiful our wedding was. On our wedding day, all of the flowers were delivered to my parents house, the church and the reception on time and everything was perfect. The staff was very professional and friendly. I'm going to be very honest and say that my parents and I are very particular and Emerald City Designs made our flowers and tables everything we hoped they would be. Highly recommend!

My flowers were beautiful. We met with Nicole who was very positive and honest about what would look good and what things would cost. A few days before the wedding they emailed me photos and made adjustments to fit my style. We received many compliments on our flowers.

David and his team are AMAZING! I could not have been happier with my experience with Emerald City Designs. David is fabulous at what he does, he made my dream reception happen! I also had Cheryl as a wedding coordinator for the day of the wedding as she was exceptional. She took care of all of my details for the day of, contacted vendors, and made sure everything ran smoothly for me on my big day! She was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would definitely recommend emerald city designs to a friend.

I would be lying if I said I was pleased with the floral arrangements. I was so excited at first to have them working with me, but that quickly changed. David seemed great to me when I had a parent with me, but was very short and quick to end a session otherwise. I was placed in three or four different hands before the big day, so I don't even know who was the one who did my flowers. I had planned out what I wanted for my wedding, and although I wasn't very picky and put a lot of trust in their hands, I didn't get the few flowers or colors I requested. They offer a lot, but to me it seemed they give more care and a better experience to people who have bigger budgets.

Emerald City Designs is beyond just a florist. They design an event for you. It's a amazing. David, the owner, works directly with you to create the vision you've dreamed about. If you have no idea what you want, he can help you there too, because he is a creative mastermind. His company rents out linens, dinnerware etc too so they can be in charge of multiple aspects of your wedding day making it much more convenient planning-wise and comforting to know that it is one less vendor to have to keep in contact with. The Emerald City Design team helped create my vision of a curtain of flowers to be our ceremony backdrop within our budget. It turned out beautifully and even served as the backdrop to the head table doing double duty. They even moved it for us! They are professional and will work within your price range which includes letting you know what is and isn't possible. The end results was so beautiful and beyond my expectations. I loved it!

Overall, I think they are happy working with people with huge budgets and weren't very excited to work with my more limited budget. My bouquet was breathtakingly beautiful and I really appreciated their insights on making the reception space special, but overall I was disappointed with the decor for the reception. It seemed like I paid a lot more than what I got in return. If money is no object, though, I think they're probably a good choice.

Everything they did was perfect. The flower arrangements were beautiful and the table settings were incredible. They are very detailed and organized. I was so impressed with them that I also asked them to provide an event coordinator just for the day of and it was a life saver!

Can be trusted with every detail the day of the wedding, but you may have to still do alot of the up front leg work yourself. Unique and stunning decor available..figure out what you can buy yourself to save some $$.

The flowers were beautiful and they were willing to work within my budget. I had to do the planning long distance and they sent me pictures via e-mail of what they planned to do and the result was even better than my expectations.

I would definitely recommend Emerald City to anyone! Mr. McKnight was very straight-forward when it came to our budget, and he met all of our needs within it. They are very clear at detailing exactly what you are getting -down to the number of blooms in each bouquet and centerpiece. They even put together a "test run", so you get to see exactly what you will get on your wedding day. I didn't have to worry for one single second about our florist because I was completely confident that they would do a great job--and they did!
