I hired Maria to be my florist and my wedding coordinator. This was her first time being a coordinator, you would not have been able to tell that. Everything was perfect. Her communication and organization is excellent. She had a timeline written out which she followed to a tee. I wasn't even too nervous the day of the wedding. Maria had it all figured out and made me feel relaxed and confident in her skills. She didn't disappoint! With the flowers, Maria understood the vision I wanted for my flowers (no roses lol). I trusted her enough to pick out the flowers she thought would work. When I saw them for the first time, I cried... She got it exactly right! I loved my bouquet of orange Calla Lilies! My whole wedding was magical and one of the biggest reasons was because of Maria!

For someone who loves flowers but knows nothing about flowers; Iler Meadows made it easy to bring something to life with minimal information. At the first meeting, I remember meeting Suzanne and Erin and one of the questions was do you know which flowers you want. We didn’t know any flowers’ name but they reassured us that it was okay and we worked based off me and my fiancé (now husband) wedding color scheme and vision board. At first we thought we wanted an all white floral arrangements but it quickly changed as they showed us the different flower types. We left that initial meeting with a sense of relief. Throughout the wedding process, they were easy to get ahold of and were very responsive. Which as a bride, doing day of coordination was something we appreciated. Even if we had questions weeks leading up to the big day; they reassured us and always responded in a professional, kind manner. The day of the wedding we were in aw of how beautiful and detailed they were in every floral arrangement. Whether it was our arch florals, bridal bouquet, bridesmaids florals, boutonnières, or corsages. Everything came out stunning. We appreciated how they even made things easy to repurpose so that no florals got left behind from the ceremony to reception. No words can explain how grateful we are to them and their family for making our vision come to life! We would definitely support Iler Meadows again.

Hi there! I’m Isabel — owner and lead designer at Your Wedding Florist ✦. My love for flowers began at age five, wandering through my grandmother’s garden and admiring every bloom. Designing florals today feels like a lifelong dream fulfilled and a meaningful way to stay connected to her. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to share that passion with you and to create elegant, thoughtfully crafted florals for your wedding day.

Isabel was incredible to work with! We coordinated everything through email, which made the process super convenient. I opted for à la carte florals, which not only helped me stay within budget but also allowed me to get exactly what I needed to bring my wedding vision to life. The morning of the wedding, I was completely blown away when the florals arrived. The arrangements were even more beautiful than the reference photos I had sent Isabel, they truly exceeded my expectations. One of the most special moments was when my photographer noticed that my bouquet was shaped like a heart! It’s those thoughtful little details, and how well Isabel understood my vision, that made the day feel so magical. Thank you so much, Isabel, for your artistry and care.

Hi there, I'm Kaylyn. After almost 12 years working as a florist, I can honestly say, I'm still not over them. This career has been the happiest accident of my life and I can't imagine a life without flowers. What started out as hobby became my dream career. It has taken me all over the world, introduced me to new people and to new cultures, challenged me, and has given me the opportunity to be a fly on the wall to the most beautiful celebrations of love. It has been a joy.

I can't recommend Kaylyn and True Vine Studio enough! She created my wedding bouquet this past weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. I provided her a general color scheme, and she worked her magic—picking the most beautiful flowers and colors that complemented each other so well. She was so accommodating, even scheduling a convenient drop-off at my house before we headed out of town for the wedding. Kaylyn is the sweetest, professional, and super easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend True Vine Studio for any floral needs. Thank you thank you again, Kaylyn!
