Dear Bernie & Andy-

Well, Valarie promised you guys would do a phenomenal job on our flowers -although I never imagined them turning out as fabulous as they did!! The altar/reception displays were gorgeous - my favorite part I think :) Between my bouquet, the bridesmaids, and the centerpieces - you guys totally nailed the look I was going for - just perfectly! Either Valarie or myself will email you some of the professional pics as soon as we get them.

Thank you again for your enthusiasm & creativity! You were one of my favorite vendors :) :)

Hi Andy
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and tell you again how thrilled we are with everything you did in decorating the Hanna for the holidays. Wow! It looks wonderful. We know you truly went above and beyond the call of duty in what you provided for us. We probably can't tell you enough how fabulous it all looks. You are truly a joy to work with. I can't even begin to imagine working with anyone else on a project of this type.

We also really enjoyed working with the gals you brought with you yesterday. We are so pleased that Gayle is going to join our little group. We would not have met her if not for you.

Thank you again for everything.
Talk to you soon

Bernie,

Now that we're back from our honeymoon, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all of the amazing floral work you did for our wedding.  Right from the start I knew I had picked the right person for the job.  I had never really cared very much about flowers at my wedding, but I left our first meeting actually being excited about the centerpieces and ceremony decorations!!

I was delighted beyond belief when you showed up with my bouquet--it was 100% perfect.  Your attention to detail was appreciated--I loved that the ribbons in the moms' corsages matched their outfits!  And I haven't even mentioned the table centerpieces (even nicer with pillar candles then with the stand-in canister of salt! ha ha!), gorgeous arrangements for the alter, the aisle runner and rose petals and all the work you did to make sure that I could still have the lanterns even when we moved the wedding ceremony indoors!!!  And then the beautiful and seamless way you transitioned everything from the ceremony into the reception.  Even my mom was impressed with both you and your work, and she isn't quick to compliment! :-)

I really can't thank you enough for all your hard work--please know that I appreciate every bit of it and it couldn't have been more perfect!

If you ever need a client reference or endorsement please don't hesitate to contact me, I can't possibly sing your praises enough!!

Thank you again!!

Bernie,

Thank you so much for making my wedding day even more beautiful than I ever could've imagined. I knew when I first met you that if we never spoke again my flowers would be gorgeous. Your artistic vision and talent are incredible and I will be sure to refer you whenever I can. Thank you again for being so spectacular, I truly appreciate everything you did.

Dear Bernie and Andy,

I wanted to express my gratitude for your extreme attention to detail and hard work on the unbelievably gorgeous and delicious flowers, lights, linen draping and other decor that you created and arranged for our wedding day. You went entirely way above and beyond what we had talked about. when I saw the details you were setting up that day, I was blown away. I could not believe that this was for my wedding. Your professionalism, service and thoughtfulness are top notch. You did one of the nicest things any person or company has ever done for me.

You were a joy to work with in creating my vision from the many pictures I showed you during the planning process. When I first saw the centerpieces displayed as I arrived at the reception I was in love with them and wanted to keep them displayed in my house forever. The "surprise" final product of carnival dessert stand you set up was absolutely perfect. Enough said. It matched our Love and Moulin Rouge theme perfectly! There is much to be said about hiring a full service, specialty and professional wedding florist for your wedding day. You think of things that other people don't, even myself in the way you hung the globe lights, paper lanterns and red linen draping from the chandelier. Our photographer raved about your work and how much better it made the background of the pictures look for the dancing area of the reception!

You are both some of the most special people I have met. Everyone who encounters you or knows you just really loves you, and how can they not? You can always make me laugh and you sincerely care about people and what you do.

Overall, everything you did for our wedding day was more beautiful than I could have imagined. When I saw the many pictures the photographer took of it, it literally took my breath away. As I do often, I would recommend you to anyone looking for a highly skilled, creative, reasonably priced and personable florist who is willing to do quite unique things to make the day special. Thanks again and I look forward to many more weddings we can work together in the future.

Best Regards,
Valarie (Kirkbride) Falvey

Dear Andy and Bernie,

A much-delayed THANK YOU for the fantastically beautiful atmosphere you created for our wedding day through flowers and lights. The twinkling lights make me happy every time I see the photos, and I continue to get compliments on the flowers. They were everything we wanted and more.

I cannot praise you and your staff enough for being so exceptionally friendly and easy to work with, and for making us feel like we might have had the coolest wedding in the world to work on. Kudos to you for being so personable and kind - you made it very easy to feel comfortable and trust you with all of the details. We look forward to recommending you as often as possible!

We have been told that John Palmer's Bistro 44 is wonderful. Please accept the enclosed gift card as a token of our thanks. Also, we saw that you have some shots of our wedding on your website to showcase your work (super cool!). If you would like any additional pictures, please let us know. You are welcome to whatever we have.

Thanks again for everything and all our best,

Becca + Brian

Bernie,

Please accept the enclosed tip for you and your team as our thanks for the beautiful floral work you did for the wedding last weekend. We couldn't have been happier.

It was a pleasure meeting you, and thanks again for all your hard work. Our friends are still talking about those bridesmaids bouquets!

Dear Bernie and Andy,

Words do not adequately describe my appreciation for the caring and true artistry you have shown to me and now Dana and Lester.

The flowers were magnificent and as I looked at the Chuppah it seemed to soar to the heavens. Everything was perfect – from the little girls’ wreaths to the centerpieces bouquets corsages and pots of flowers I cannot say, however, that I was surprised. When you work with professionals who really care the results were what was seen on Saturday evening. Again thank you for your kindness, consideration and most of all for your friendship

Love,
Barbara

Congratulations! The flowers were absolutely stunning for Julie’s wedding! We will highly recommend you as often as possible!

Sincerely,
Judge and Jean

I wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful job that you did on our flowers for the wedding. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and I couldn’t have been happier!
Each time that I look at my wedding photographs I am so relieved that we came to you. You created the exact image that I had wanted, but hadn’t been able to describe. I can’t thank you enough!

Forever grateful!
Kristen

The floral arrangements that you made for both my parents and Joe’s parents were absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into them.

You came highly recommended to me and you will continue to be highly recommended to others!

Thank you again!!

Thank you so much for making my day so special and beautiful. I will certainly recommend your services to anyone, without a second thought

Sincerely,
Michelle Thompson

Dear friends-

How could we not acknowledge the beautiful flowers you arranged for our mothers casket? How could you know to create her garden right there in the funeral home? We could not look at that beautiful spray without tears of gratitude for it reminded us of our mother’s love of gardening.

We all thank you, not only for that marvelous breath of fresh-air flower shop, but for your patience, care and love of creating truly beautiful and unique treasures of flowers.

Sincerely,
Helen Brewster

As Jeremy and I celebrate our first wedding anniversary, I wanted to again thank you and your staff for your beautiful work at our ceremony and reception at The Union Club of Cleveland. You provided impeccable service as we prepared for this day, Offering us great options and developing creative ideas. And you even worked with the challenge of our wedding being on Mother’s Day weekend – you provided us with beautiful, affordable options. You took vague ideas we had and made them beautiful realities – in our Chuppah, in the centerpieces and in the elegantly placed flowers on our wedding cake. Your enthusiasm for your work and your warm, caring demeanor meant a lot to us as well.

We, along with our families, highly recommend Grande Designs Floral Company to any engaged couple.

Thank you!

With best regards,
Jennifer Caruso Mullman
