Sharleen Heist, owner of Shartreuse Studio was the florist for our Wedding on June 7, 2014 in Buffalo, NY. For a bride who knew nothing about flowers, arrangements, or even what I really wanted, Sharleen guided me through those decisions. She also recommended flowers that were in season to help keep the cost down, but kept the option to have any flower I might want open. I brought my wedding planner to the follow-up meeting with Sharleen to work on the centerpieces. My wedding planner delivered vases in various size and shapes to be used and gave some description regarding the type of bouquets for each vase. Using her expertise, Sharleen put together a variety of bouquets that were not overpowering for the tables and went with the vintage theme. We also included fresh flowers, provided by Sharleen, on our wedding cake that were delivered directly to the bakery and were a great addition.
On the day of my wedding all of the flowers where delivered on-time to two locations with specific labels indicating who the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were intended for, which prevented any confusion. Nothing was missing and all the flowers were very fresh and beautiful. The flowers were one thing I didn’t need to worry about on my wedding day. My bouquet fit the antique/vintage theme that I was going for perfectly. The bouquets were soft in color which was a great contrast to the bright coral bridesmaid’s dresses. The garden roses, freesia, dahlias, and peonies were just a few of the gorgeous flowers selected for the bouquets. Sharleen wrapped the stems in a beautiful lace ribbon and I had no issues with the flowers dripping on my dress.
Sharleen Heist is punctual, professional, and did an amazing job providing beautiful flowers for our wedding. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family for future weddings and other events.
