"For our 50th wedding anniversary celebration we wanted floral decorations that were somewhat casual but elegant. Tobey far exceeded our expectations and produced spectacular, creative arrangements for the serving tables and the individual dining tables. Many of our guests commented on the beautiful displays. The flowers were so fresh they were enjoyed for two weeks after the event! She listens and responds to her client's ideas but also is wonderful at suggesting possibilities for something unique. Knowledgeable, artistic and a floral magician -- she loves her work and it shows." -Heather Ullmann, event held at The Bay Club, Port Ludlow WA
"We were so delighted to have Tobey do the flowers for our wedding. She is a complete joy and the flowers came out wonderful, similar to what we had in mind but better." -Dan DiZazzo, wedding held at Fireseed Catering, Whidbey Island WA
"Tobey Nelson made my wedding absolutely beautiful. The bouquets she created mirrored exactly those in my dreams. Her reliability and dependability were a comfort and her creativity was breathtaking." -Kelle Scott, New Orleans
"As the chair of the first-ever auction for Wellington Children's Association, I wanted to make a statement about our school, its students, and the organization of parents and teachers who work so hard to prioritize our childrens' educations. When Tobey offered to provide the flowers, and in fact, all of the event decor, I did not know what to think--or what to expect. I made a few naive suggestions about what I thought might look nice, and Tobey heard what I had to say, made some recommendations of her own, and then ran with it. Five months later, when the day of the auction finally arrived, I was so lost in the event logistics and details, that I did not even give a second thought to the decor. I had utmost confidence that Tobey knew what she was doing and that the flowers would be magnificant. Wow. How can I describe that "magnificant" is an understatement? I was awestruck. I've been to many events at this particular venue, and I have NEVER seen it look the way it did that night. From the lobby, down the hall, to the banquet room, the event sparkled with magical whimsy. From the curly willow trees with hanging votives to the tall centerpieces that exalted the room, and the fragrance that greeted each guest as they checked in. Tobey's floral arrangements transformed the atmosphere of the venue from a "nice place" to an "enchanted wonderland." Guests whispered about the arrangements all night, and actively outbid one another for a chance to take them home. Feedback from every attendee has been "wow, the flowers were incredible." Tobey is a gifted floral artist, and I highly recommend her creativity, kindness, and class to enhance any occasion you may be considering. ~Christine Mulcahy, fundraiser auction at Useless Bay Country Club, Whidbey Island, WA.
