We were referred to Hazel Designs by our wedding planners. We spent $5,000 on floral for a small…read morewedding that included one bridal bouquet, 10 table centerpieces, suspended greenery, 3 floor arrangements, arbor floral, colorful bud vases/market flowers, and a few misc. accent florals. All vases were purchased separately and were not included in the floral cost. Leading up to the wedding Annika was difficult to communicate with, did not provide any floral mockups, and did not send an invoice or contract until 19 days before our wedding. Once we finally received an invoice, we wanted to scale back just a bit to stay closer to our budget. She charged us an extra $60 design fee for "last minute" changes. I'll be honest, that was very frustrating considering the ONLY reason our requested changes were last minute is because she didn't send an invoice earlier. We were understandably nervous about her overt lack of professionalism, but we stuck with her because our wedding planners assured us that she always comes through on the day of. Our planners were correct - she came through on the day of and exceeded our expectations! She was on time and professional. She transformed an empty greenhouse into a beautiful, lush setting and the dinner table looked like something out of a magazine. We LOVED the bridal bouquet ($250); the suspended greenery over the aisle ($900); the cut bamboo greenery for the greenhouse walls ($280); and the floor arrangements ($340). For the table centerpieces, we ordered 4 large and 6 small centerpieces ($610) to have some height variety. We received 10 beautiful arrangements that were all the same size. Although we loved how the centerpieces looked, it is worth noting that it was not what we ordered. We were not happy with the reception florals (colorful flowers for 24 small bud vases). She charged us $12 for just the floral in each, for a total of $288 and that was definitely overpriced for what we received. All in all, the positives outweighed the negatives and we're grateful for all the work the Hazel Design team did to make our wedding magical.

Natalie created the most amazing wedding flowers for our 8/8/2020 Grand Canyon Elopement! I have…read moreordered many bouquets from Natalie, and I knew her quality of work is exemplary. She was the only florist I wanted to create my wedding flowers. I gave her the giant challenge of creating flowers that would last a plane ride and two days before I used them, and she killed it! Natalie came up with a creative solution to make me exactly what I wanted, and the flowers looked AMAZING! On a side note, the day we got back from our wedding my father had to have emergency surgery. I called Natalie that night, and she took the time to make me a bouquet for him that she delivered the next morning. Natalie goes above and beyond for her clients. Bellingham is lucky to have this talented women as a resident.

Took all the work and worry it off my hands. The flowers were delivered with care and the birthday girl was super happy.

Called and left word on Wednesday. Received no communication back until late morning Friday when…read moresomeone calls to say "if you need a delivery you'll need to call us back in the next hour, we're very busy." Just like that, brusque, no warmth. No acknowledgement that they skipped a whole work day, and again nothing welcoming. Completely understand that businesses get busy, kudos!, but if you're trying to welcome new business or strengthen a reputation as a caring business - this is hardly the way to do it. Called back just to let somebody know what happened - since I have no idea if this was the owner who called back that brusquely or an employee - and again no apology just "sometimes we just get busy" ... and did I still need flowers...? Ummmm - yes: 2 days ago. We are all very busy (especially these days) - including new customers reaching out for your business. Since this business seems unaware: if a person calls around saying they're from out of state looking for a florist for a friend who is suffering (I left a clear voicemail -because it WAS important and timely) and you wait 2 days, they likely have moved on to businesses who welcome their call and seem welcoming.
