Sandy was AMAZING! I cannot say enough about the flowers at our wedding. I had a very vague idea of what I wanted. I could see it in my head, but found it difficult to convey to her. But it did not matter. Sandy knew exactly what I wanted (probably more so than I even did). I sent her loys of inspiration pictures and she captured everything I wanted in her floral creations. Sandy was also very conscious of my budget. I gave her a number that was my max I wanted to spend and she did everything I wanted while managing to stay under my budget. She is fantastic.

Sandy did an INCREDIBLE job on my flowers. She provided the bouquets, ceremony decor, reception decor and table arrangements. Everything was perfect. She was so easy to work with and tied in my ideas as well as bringing her own ideas and expertise. We received countless compliments on the arrangements. My bouquet was very special as she built it on top of my grandmother's bible (that she and my mother both used in theirs) and incorporated my other grandmother's handkerchief (that she used and my cousins and aunts). She went above and beyond any of my expectations for flowers. Here are a few photos from my photographer's blog that shows a few of her designs http://www.lesliegilbertphotography.com/blog.cfm?postID=708. Her fees are EXTREMELY reasonable and there were no surprises, just beautiful flowers.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I visited Sandy to review my thoughts about the flowers and immediately knew she would be perfect. She understood exactly what I was going for and quickly got back to me with a fantastic proposal with blooms which perfectly fit the feel of my wedding. Not only that, but she was unflinching when I requested complicated centerpieces comprised of 5-8 mismatched antique bottles with various blooms in each. She happily agreed and didn't mind when I stopped by a month before the wedding with BOXES of bottles. She dedicated much time to thoughtfully decided how to work the 100+ mismatching bottles to fit together well in centerpieces and decor throughout the venue. The end result far exceeded expectations. All of the designs for the church, bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and tables came together beautifully.She was also super flexible about drop-offs. She dropped off the church flowers the Friday before our Sunday wedding so the parishioners could enjoy them at the services, and the arrangements still looked great Sunday. She also coordinated with my wedding coordinator on drop-offs for the other flowers, so I didn't have to worry about a thing.Very professional, friendly, and talented, I would recommend her to anyone.

Sandy went above and beyond my expectations as a florist! Our flowers were most beautiful than I could have imagined, and she made sure to get me my peonies for my mid June wedding! I just wish my flowers didn't have to die! Good value for the product and the sweetest florist! Loved her work!

Sandra was able to take all of the different pictures, descriptions and ideas I sent her, which were a lot and changing all the time, and was able to intuitively know what I wanted. Our flowers were absolutely perfect! The bouquets and boutonnieres were so unique, yet elegant and simple at the same time. She incorporated my Grandma's mason jars into the aisle flower arrangements which were beautiful. The honeysuckle vine she used to decorate the alter along with the two custom tin pails with flowers and greenery overflowing out of them that were just unbelievable!! She was able to create the most stunning atmosphere to enhance our outdoor wedding and all of the wedding photos! She is super easy to work with and is so friendly that you will feel like you have known her for years. I highly recommend Sandra as a florist! She is so creative and good at what she does.

Sandra Porterfield is the BEST wedding vendors we picked. She is the nicest person and is such a pleasure to work with. Although my work schedule didn't allow for a lot of meetings, sending emails was just as great. Always responds promptly and always asking what we want. I had a vision and Sandra turned it into reality. I really know nothing about flowers but Sandra was so helpful in guiding me to the right picks. On the day of the wedding I couldn't believe how fabulous everything looked. My bouquet and the bridesmaids were exactly how I wanted them. The church looked gorgeous. And my jaw dropped when I saw our reception room. The tall dramatic centerpieces of cherry blossoms and smaller vases surrounding it truely stole the show. They were better than I could have imagined. You will not be disappointed if you choose Sandra as your florist for your wedding.

Sandra is great to work with she helped me where my creativity was lacking and her flowers came out looking perfect! She is super nice and easy to work with! Even when it took the Postal Service 4 weeks to delivery my check from California to Pennsylvania, she was patient and helpful! I highly recommend Sandra to do everyones flowers, she is amazing!

Sandra did an AMAZING job with all of the floral arrangements. I did not know much about flowers and I was so thrilled with how everything turned out. She really listened to my design ideas and definitely delivered! She is extremely friendly and just a pleasure to work with. I was able to meet Sandra at her workshop (which is adorable and the drive to get there is beautiful) before the wedding to see a sample centerpiece. She brought us coffee and was very thorough with her questions regarding all of the arrangements. The flowers last way past the wedding day, they still looked beautiful several days later. I would highly recommend Sandra for your floral needs.

I was completely and overwhelmingly impressed by Sandy and her work! My husband and I found her on the "preferred vendors" list for the Inn at Leola Village. Thank goodness! Sandy's wonderful work and artfulness were only rivaled by her professionalism and pricing! I loved brainstorming with her and coming up with a beautiful fall/wine theme for the centerpieces, ceremony decor, and all the bouquets and boutiniers. She was also incredibly down-to-earth and a delight to work with. Oh, and I can't forget that she completely handled our linen rentals for the reception too! Which was wonderful, not having to deal with too many vendors. Thank you for making our day beautifully perfect, Sandy!

Sandra did such an excellent job on the flowers for our wedding. Everything was more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined! She was able to combine my colors and some rough ideas and turn them into beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. Thank you so much Sandra!

Sandy was a delight to work with, from the initial emails to the floral deliveries on our wedding day. Not knowing very much about flowers, I only had vague ideas of what I liked/didn't like and no "vision." Sandy somehow figured me out completely and quickly turned around a proposal and then was very kind when we ended up cutting some items to save money (for the record, we found her prices to be reasonable). She used locally grown flowers, and they were in great condition. When Sandy dropped off the bouquets as we were getting ready, I exclaimed, "it's just what I wanted!" and that says it all. I enthusiastically recommend Sandy for any occasion.

Sandra is very helpful, & creative didnt have specifics picked out as to exactly what i wanted mostly just colors and a few flowers is didnt like. The flowers were delivered on time and were so beautiful. I will post pictures as soon as i get them from my photographer but they looked so great. I also would like to add that i did get about 3 to 4 inches of snow on the day of the wedding and she was still on time and everything was there.Her prices are also very good expecially for the quality you receive. Cant wait to post pictures. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED. I will definately be giving her name to people looking for a florist.

Sandra was amazing! By far the best vendor that we had for our wedding day. Definitely would refer anyone to Sandra to help with their special day.

Sandra is terrific! If we graded all of our wedding vendors, Sandra leads the pack with an A+. Very reasonably priced. Wonderful to work with, and full of creative ideas. A very sweet woman who clearly has a passion for what she does. She took our scattered ideas and brought them into focus and made them come to life. Absolutely hit a home run with colors and design. So much so, we got her for my sister-in-law's wedding too! A professional and an artist, we can't recommend her enough! Thanks Sandra.
