| - I was very pleased with this floral designer, especially since I what I wanted was a rather difficult assignment!
My mother-in-law passed away and my mom wanted to send my husband flowers. She didn't know what he'd like, so she enlisted my help.
I found Nectar online at Yelp and had actually walked through a few weeks ago while visiting McGill Rose Garden (they are right outside). They were in the midst of getting ready for a HUGE wedding, but were super nice and I appreciated it.
I decided to run over and talk with the owner, Karisa, who was so very helpful! I knew from her website she loves to design interesting an unusual arrangements, which is just what I needed for my hubby. He is NOT a typical flower guy - is there one?
I said, "I need something like my mother-in-law - contemporary, not frilly, colorful. It needs to go in a man's office and not embarrass him. I want it to live for awhile. I want him to love it and think of his mom. The budget is $X"
Karisa was wonderful and knew just what to do! She showed me tons of flowers on cards and live plants to pick from so I could say Yes or NO, and had some very creative vase alternatives. She even put live plants with some perky colorful flowers (in water tubes so they would stay nice for a long time!)
The arrangement was delivered the next day. My hubby called to tell me he'd received an amazing, stunning, floral arrangement from my parents! He said, "It is beautiful!" I could tell he was looking at it while we talked, and he said it reminded him of his mom. Honestly, I just about cried when he said that because I knew my mom would so happy that my husband was touched and thought it was beautiful!
Karisa got it exactly right! Hit the nail on the head! We will be using her again and again!
