I just wanted to say a huge thank you for providing such beautiful flowers for our wedding this weekend. I was pretty confident that you'd pull something special together but they completely surpassed my expectations. The bouquet was just beautiful and the Boathouse looked absolutely amazing when we walked in. It was all exactly what I'd hoped for and more, so thank you so much for everything you did.
