Welcome to Floral Design by Melissa, a floral design studio that specializes in weddings & special events of all types, styles & sizes in Connecticut & New York. It is our pleasure to work closely with each individual so that we are able to gain an insight to their personal taste & desires. Art is truly subjective & we believe in making sure that each event is unique, special & as beautiful as the individual for whom the event is for. Please browse our site & contact us if you would like to schedule a consultation, have any questions, or just want to chat. We look forward to hearing from you & working with you to bring your vision to life. I worked/managed in 2 traditional flower shop settings for 15 years & now have chosen to do only special events for many reasons. They may be some of the reasons I may be a better fit for you over a standard florist. Here are just a few... Better Attention: YOU will be my ONLY wedding for the day. In a traditional shop they can't afford to turn down a wedding. More Time: For example in a traditional shop I would have an hour to do a consultation and now I can take as long as YOU need YOU Get Me: In a traditional shop you don't know who is actually making what. With me you know I am making ALL YOUR bouquets. I may need help depending on how many centerpieces & I have staff for that but YOU will get my design. I make the first one as WE discussed & that one is copied. You're NOT Just a Number: You are treated like YOU should be, SPECIAL for YOUR SPECIAL EVENT. You aren't just money to pay a bill. A Good Fit: If I honestly don't think that I can make YOU happy then I would rather see you go elsewhere that is a better fit for you. I want YOU to be happy! In a traditional shop you can't afford to say no. No Minimum: I have no minimum on price or the number of arrangements you must order. It is YOUR event get what YOU need.
