ilonka floral decorator

Ilonka was amazing. Leading up to my wedding day I really had no idea what I wanted and the first meeting with Ilonka I was all over the place with things that I liked. I started to narrow in on some styles that I like and Ilonka was able to come up with a design that was beautiful. As the wedding day approached and the flowers started to come into the shop Ilonka's very critical eye wasn't pleased with the quality of the flowers as it was the end of the season for the particular flower we were looking at. With very little time Ilonka came up with an altered design to meet my desires. All the while checking in with me to make sure everything was still going to meet my expectations. Everything was just perfect...Ilonka dropped off flowers in the morning to all of the necessary places. But as the bridal party was arriving at the reception location our wedding planner was met by the location staff and told that the tall arrangements that Ilonka had dropped off earlier in the day were blowing over (the reception was in a tent and the day was a bit windy). Our wedding planner called Ilonka to ask for help or ideas as she didn't want to have some tables without flowers but she certainly didn't want to have guests be hit by flowers. Remember the wedding party and all the guests were starting to arrive at this time. Ilonka didn't have time to return to her shop to pick up different vases but she quickly raced over to the reception location (with her husband in toe as an extra hand) and used containers that the location had and rearranged the florals. No one even knew there was a problem and no one even knew Ilonka and her husband had even been there. When I was told about all of this I was shocked but in absolute awe of not only how wonderful Ilonka (and her husband) were to help in such a pinch but also in the quality of the work she produced on the spot with little to no resources. This is a perfect example of why you want a florist who only does one event a day, had I chosen a different florist with several events and competing priorities I probably would have had no florals on several tables. Ilonka (along with several of my other vendors) really made our day perfect. We couldn't have been more impressed and have recommended Ilonka to several friends and family since the wedding.

Ilonka was very easy to work with and helped me stay within my budget. I gave her a few inspiration pictures for the flowers and she came up with decor above and beyond what I'd hoped for. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were at my wedding and guests were even fighting over the centerpieces at the end of the night! When someone asked me where I wanted to put my bouquet down during the reception I had a hard time letting it go, and I don't even consider myself a flower person. She did an amazing job, is as sweet as can be and brings an incredible amount of knowledge and talent to her work.

Ilonka Comstock did an amazing job for the wedding!I highly recommend her services

Ilonka is an absolute delight to work with. She incorporated my ideas as well as her expertise in creating my flowers and decor. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is fun, professional, and an expert in her field. Her work is truly beautiful.

Ilonka did the most amazing job at my wedding. Everything from the centerpieces to the candles to the tablecloths was elegant, unique and chosen with care. Her taste is impeccable. In addition, working with her was super easy and fun. Every guest I spoke with said that ours was the most beautiful wedding they ever attended. I think Ilonka's services were the single most important factor in making this happen.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ilonka. The flowers for my wedding were absolutely beautiful and the ideas were very creative. I really liked the fact that we could bounce ideas off of each other and I trusted her direction and decision-making. It made my life really easy!!Thank you for everything!
