TESTIMONIALS

"Everything was GORGEOUS! Althea was absolutely wonderful to work with. She definitely knows her stuff and has an eye for creative, gorgeous florals."
...Bride (2011)

"Althea was a pleasure to work with before, during, and after my event! Rose of Sharon is one of the most dependable and professional event florists in NWA. "
...Corporate Client (2011)

"Althea, you were such a fun, creative, stress-free consultant and delivered exactly what I imagined. I appreciate your openness to have frequent conversations/brainstorming sessions, your flexibility to make changes as I tried to narrow down my ideas and work with the budget, the communication you provided through email, calls and Pinterest, and the way you took my ideas and expanded on them in the perfect way. The bridesmaid bouquet class was so unique and fun for everyone. I know each bridesmaid was so proud to carry the gorgeous bouquets they created. Working with you was like working with a (very talented) friend through the whole process. Thank you for everything!!!"
...Bride (2011)

"Althea was amazing, creative, flexible and helpful! I was a bride who had never thought of what flowers I wanted, and I am clueless when it comes to flowers. During the consultation Althea took the time to walk me through several books to see what I was drawn to she was super helpful and patient with me in designing the decor I wanted for the wedding. I was able to get what I wanted and she worked with my budget. She made my wedding planning experience a great one and helped make my wedding day EVERYTHING I had hoped for. Rose of Sharon did all of the set up. Not having to worry about putting the flowers made my day so easy. Not having that set up to do made it to where i got to relax and enjoy the hours before my wedding day. Thank you to everyone and Rose of Sharon"

...New Client (2011)

"Althea was great to work with as our florist. She went above and beyond by adding three extra centerpieces on our bistro tables in the reception area because she had extra! It was awesome to see such wonderful customer service! We didn't ask her to do that, she just offered and I thought that really showed how much she cared!"
...Bride (2011)

"The flowers were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. It was so easy to explain what I wanted and you were able to picture exactly what was in my head. The pricing was perfect as well!! I wouldn't have gone anywhere else. Plus the flowers did not wilt in the 100 degree outdoor wedding! Still looked as beautiful the next day ! Thank you so much for making my vision a reality! :)"
...Bride (2011)

"I had the most amazing experience with Rose of Sharon. Thea was great! She helped me so much with more than just flowers. She was very resourceful with contacts to other vendors. I was comfortable and confident that everything would be perfect, and it was!!! Thanks!!!"
...Bride (2011)

"Rose of Sharon created my wedding bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, and boutonnieres. Everything looked great! My bouquet was just what I wanted, and I really felt like Althea (the owner) went the extra mile to get it just right. Her communication was excellent, and she was very willing to work with me to make just what I wanted. We also ordered bulk flowers that we used to create our own centerpieces. At no extra charge she maintained these flowers for us and made sure they were looking top notch for our wedding day."
...Bride (2011)

"I didn't interview a lot of florists, but have a friend who used to own a shop of her own and she loved Thea's work! I loved that she wanted to play with silk flowers and some real things to get an idea of my taste. She even emailed me a picture of my flowers before the wedding to make sure they were what I wanted. I will recommend and use her again!"
...Bride (2011)

...Mother of the Bride (2011)

"At the beginning of the planning process I thought I knew the colors I wanted for my flowers but as as the time progressed, I wanted to make several changes. Thea was very accommodating and let me change my mind as much as I wanted and I really appreciated her willingness to show me examples and help me make my decisions. She was great to work with and the arrangements were more than I expected. I loved my wedding flowers!"

...Bride (2011)

“Never having planned an event as large as our wedding was turning out to be before , or a wedding for that matter, we didn't really know what to expect from most of our vendors. But Rose of Sharon was by far the most helpful out of all the vendors we worked with and interviewed. You all not only were insightful specifically with the ins and outs of the flowers but with general advice for how I was going to feel the rest of the day as well! I was most blown away with the personalized and detailed attention given on site the day of the event; that meant the most that you all were there to see the flowers and me through to make sure that everything got to where it was suppose to be. Thanks so much!!”
...Bride (2011)

“The bouquets and flower arrangements far exceeded my expectations!

"Rose of Sharon was More than I ever could've expected in ordering flowers for my wedding. Althea was wonderful to work with! Flowers are an expensive part to a wedding. However, she listened to our wants and asked questions to make sure we got exactly what we had envisioned within our price range. It was beautiful! The huge part we loved about Rose of Sharon was their flexibility! Our number of RSVP's more than doubled from what we had originally planned just a few weeks before the wedding, and they made it work! She kept my stress down and gave me everything I dreamed of! Althea with the Rose of Sharon is the super mom of event florists and is simply awesome! We couldn't be happier!
