Tracey Reynolds Floral Design, Inc 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Colonia, NJ
  • Florist

Creating textured florals with movement, whimsy, and intention we work closely with our couples to guide them in the world of flowers, design, and styling, bringing their vision to life. Flower weave feelings of joy and celebration, they set the mood that is your love. Allow us to tell your story through their beauty.

We received a recommendation from two of our family friends who had her design their weddings florals in 2012. Not only did they rave about their flowers, they both said how easy and wonderful Tracey was to work with - and man-oh-man, were they right! From the moment my mom and I met with Tracey, we felt connected to her. Not only did she understand my vision, it was clear she understood me which truly makes the difference. We left our meeting feeling like we just had coffee with a talented friend, and when we received our proposal, we knew it was true. Tracey is transparent, communicative, caring, and creative. Moreover, she’s collaborative and works hard to make your dreams come true. The bouquets were the exact “organic with structure” shape we spoke about, and our centerpieces were the perfect geo-rustic-Scandinavian-chic dream we had in mind (but better and SO unique). There was one adjustment I wanted made in real-time to our centerpieces, so I told her and she didn’t blink - she made the change immediately without question. Our fireplace mantels were beyond romantic with the exact votives we saw online, the room light looked incredible with the greenery she crafted, and our cake was EXACTLY (I mean EXACTLY) what we wanted - the prettiest cake ever because of Tracey! The chuppah that Tracey created for my husband and me was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined - and she was up against the odds of a windy and chilly fall day. I honestly could talk about our chuppah for days - it was the prettiest chuppah I’ve ever seen in my entire life! Tracey’s compassion is also shown through her work. We told her about my husband’s mother who passed away when he was young. We wanted to include daisies to honor her. Not only did she create an INCREDIBLE memorial table with flourishing daisies, she also put daisy pins in his and his father’s boutonnieres. If you’re looking to work with someone who is passionate, create, and has a huge heart, Tracey is your gal! She really brought our vision to life and then some!

Amalia was exactly what I needed to ensure my wedding day went as smoothly as possible. Planning a wedding in 3 months was tough but Amalia kept me organized, was there to bounce ideas off of, created signage for our guest book dessert table and card box, and helped tremendously the day of the wedding. When I would get overwhelmed Amalia would schedule a zoom call to check in and help where needed. Amalia and Jenna were perfect day of coordinators and helped set up our dessert table, set up all centerpieces, set up florals and made sure everything ran smoothly. I truly don’t know how I would have pulled everything off without their help. Would highly recommend using their services to make wedding planning easier and have peace of mind the day of your wedding!!

After recently getting married myself, I truly understand that there are so many decisions that a couple has to make for their big day. And when it comes to your wedding film, I would love the opportunity to tell you about my experience on this journey I have embraced - telling the story of love. Your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a wonderful experience working with Carlo as our wedding videographer and truly cannot recommend him enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, easy to communicate with, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. On the wedding day itself, he blended in so seamlessly while still capturing every important moment. He has a great presence—calm, organized, and clearly experienced—which made a big difference in allowing us to just enjoy the day. When we received our wedding film, we were blown away. It is beautifully edited, emotional, and really tells the story of our day in such a meaningful way. Carlo has an incredible eye for detail and knows how to capture both the big moments and the small in-between ones that make everything feel so personal. The overall quality and storytelling exceeded our expectations, and it’s something we’ll cherish forever. One thing we especially appreciated was how responsive and thoughtful he was after delivering the film. We reached out asking if it might be possible to include more footage from the dance floor, since that was such a big part of our celebration. Without hesitation, he created a 15-minute edited “Extended Dancing” film for us, which was such a meaningful addition. It truly allowed us to relive the energy and joy of that part of the night, and we are so beyond grateful he took the time to do that. Carlo clearly cares about his couples and the experience he provides, not just the final product. We feel so lucky to have had him capture our wedding day and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and thoughtful videographer!

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We LOVED doing our engagement photos with Momo! She was lovely and communicative throughout the whole process. When the forecast called for rain, she offered to reschedule, which I thought was really nice. Both my fiance and I are usually a little shy behind the camera but Momo made us so comfortable and it was easy to forget she was even there sometimes. Afterwards, my fiance couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had (“I just got to kiss you for an hour!”). She was also great with our big, goofy dog. The pictures, which she sent in two days, exceeded all our expectations. They are so amazing and special for us to have, and everyone is gushing about them! We couldn’t be happier we went with Momo.

Ashley was one of my favorite vendors to book for my big day! From the trial to leading up to the wedding, communication with Ashley was excellent. She is professional, kind, and listens to every want and worry of yours. It feels like working with someone I have known my whole life, and her calming presence on such a big day was exactly what I needed. My makeup for my trial and my wedding day held up so so well, even through my first look tears!! I have truly never felt more beautiful in my life, and I am looking forward to continue using Ashley’s services for any and all of my makeup needs moving forward. Thank you SO much Ashley!

Hi, I’m Bebe, the owner and lead coordinator of Seamless I Do’s. I’m here to turn your wedding vision into a day that feels beautiful, intentional, and completely you. My approach blends organization with creativity, making sure every detail flows effortlessly, so you can focus on celebrating, not managing timelines. I truly believe your wedding should reflect your story, and I’m honored to help bring that story to life, seamlessly

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Bebe was possibly the single best decision we made when planning our wedding. Planning a wedding is as stressful as they say it is and having someone you can trust to take care of the little details is so important. As soon as we hired her and met with her for the first time, my stress levels dropped dramatically. She made sure everything went well and got us back on track whenever we had any hiccups throughout the day, which are bound to happen. She got everything done behind the scenes and made us focus on having fun with our wedding party and guests so we didn’t have to worry about logistics. She also advocated for us so that we didn’t have to deal with it when we had an issue with the caterer. Even before the wedding, she helped us navigate any issues that came up, which I thought was above and beyond for a Day of Coordinator. She was a key part of bringing to life everything that we had envisioned for our day. We HIGHLY recommend going with Seamless I Do’s!

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!
