“Melissa is an amazing florist. She is gifted in making arrangements that are looser and full of life. It added a softness to our photos and the event—to have a dynamic nature to the flowers. She did a great job in our consultation meeting to help us come up with colors and flowers we like. I wholly trusted her to find great flowers (even in January!) to fit our vision. Our wedding flowers were above and beyond what we'd hoped!” -Maggie
“Everything I requested, Melissa delivered. We had a limited budget for flowers, but Melissa used her expertise to craft the most gorgeous bouquets and boutonnieres! She was also very friendly, responsive, and punctual. Melissa arrived early for set up and though she was given just a short time frame to arrange centerpieces, they still looked amazing. The ceremony and reception flowers added the perfect touch to our venue! I would highly recommend Melissa.” -April
“Melissa did such a fabulous job with the flowers for our wedding! From the colorful bouquets to the table decorations, everything was beautiful and tasteful. We got so many compliments, both from other experienced wedding vendors and from our guests. There was even another wedding at our venue right after ours that snagged the gorgeous garland she put together to use. Even beyond the superb quality of her work, Melissa was great to work with. She was prompt to respond, creative, and professional. She was willing to work with our budget and thought of details I hadn't even considered. She came early to the wedding and even helped us set up the tables with the flowers. We couldn't have been happier, and I highly recommend Melissa Cushman Floral Designs for any upcoming wedding!” -Rachel
"Melissa made the bouquets of my dreams! She completely understood my vision for my wedding and delivered even better results than I could have imagined. She was responsive, reliable, and had a wonderful attitude. I heard positive reports of her work and attitude from others who were helping to set up as well. She really delivered from start to finish!" -Amy
"I stumbled upon Melissa's work through a wedding blog I was following. I was blown away by her talent. I knew I found the perfect florist for our wedding day. She was fantastic, friendly and such a pleasure to work with." -Britta
“Walking down the aisle towards Steven was overwhelming in all the best ways possible. It was magical and dreamy, but I wanted to find something physical that would ground my mind and help me stay present in the moment. When I saw the flower arrangements on the arbor, it was exactly what I hoped for. I looked at how beautiful they were several times during the ceremony to remind myself of where I was and have a few seconds to be thoughtful in a moment that was emotionally overwhelming. The centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, the greenery were each delicately created to capture our personalities and the essence of the venue all at once. [Melissa has] a creative gift and I am so glad that I could be the recipient of the energy and time [she] put in to make every little thing so special.” -Sophie
