Julie's Flowers of Geist

I met Julie when I was working as a fellow vendor in a booth near hers at an LGBT wedding expo. She immediately struck me as such a lovely and interesting person. She told me about her assisted DIY flower parties that she offered out of her studio in Geist. I was getting married in just a couple of months, and flowers were the last piece I needed to figure out. I knew that I didn’t have a lot of money to spend on flowers, and I already had a vision for what I wanted but neither the flowers nor the knowledge to do it all on my own. So my ears perked right up. I reached out to her about a week later, and we talked it through and set things up. We discussed what I wanted to make (bouquets and boutonnieres with paper airplanes on floral wire incorporated into them) and the price point I wanted to stay within. We scheduled for me to come out to her studio the evening before my rehearsal dinner. I brought with me my made of honor, my craftiest bridesmaid, my pre-made paper airplanes on floral wire, ribbon for wrapping around the bases of the arrangements, pearled push pins to hold the ribbon in place, some cheeses and a couple of bottles of wine to share. We ended up having the BEST time!! Julie supplied all the flowers and greenery we needed and showed us how to arrange the flowers and tie them together. She also helped make them with us and, at our invitation, shared in our wine and cheese with us. She was such an interesting person with so many amazing stories to share! And she opened up her studio space to us (which felt like such a peaceful, magical oasis), lent us her vision and expertise, and created a lovely, unforgettable evening of crafting and bonding for us. She also went above and beyond and used my leftover flowers to create 2 beautiful bouquets for me that we put on either end of the aisle during the ceremony. Julie was truly incredible, and commissioning her to host an assisted DIY flower party for me was one of my favorite wedding experiences by far! My 2 bridesmaids and I will never forget that evening. I had never heard of an assisted DIY floral concept, but it really could not have been more perfect for my needs. That being said, Julie clearly knows what she’s doing all on her own, so I would HIGHLY recommend her for any and all of your floral needs!!

I will never be able to recommend Julie enough or thank her enough! Every step of the planning process with Julie was so easy. I personally knew very little about flowers, but I just knew I wanted them and I wanted them to be beautiful. Julie was able to see my vision and bring the most beautiful flowers together. My entire bridal party, both my mother and now mother-in-law, and even my husband loved the DIY party, and we certainly would have paid to go back to do it all again. She also made the day-of SO EASY. Everything from boutonnieres, bouquets, corsages, our chuppah, was taken care of without me even needing to think about it. The peace of mind that Julie provides for you is priceless. Thank you, Julie!!

Love Julie! she is awesome to work with and so laid back and knows exactly what you’re wanting even if you can’t explain!

Julie is so fun to work with and she helped make my wedding day so beautiful! I really enjoyed her DIY workshop where my friends, family, and I got to go to her gallery and help make our own bouquets and other decorations! She was so professional but also really fun. She is very flexible with any budget and made sure I loved what she made for our wedding. I highly recommend her!
