Artistry Designs Group

A DREAM COME TRUE Words cannot express my tremendous appreciation for Barb at Artistry Designs Group. Barb turned my dream wedding into a wonderful, beautiful reality. From the ceremony arrangements and design to the decoration of the reception hall, each and every detail was handled with perfection. The tables were flawlessly arranged with every detail perfectly done and the aroma of flowers was everywhere. My husband and I never felt any stress throughout the night which enabled us to enjoy each and every moment. The goal David and I wanted to accomplish for our wedding day was for everyone to enjoy the evening as much as we did. It's been a little over a week since we got married and all we hear from our relatives, friends and guests is that our wedding was so beautiful and so enjoyable. Our goal was accomplished (and then some) because of Barb and we will always thank her for her hard work, dedication and the love she put into our special day.

Our wedding was on March 31, 2012 at the Don Cesar and we hired Barb for our flowers, décor, and day-of coordinating. I cannot say enough about her creative talent, professionalism and 5 star service. Barb can take a simple idea of what you have in mind and turn it into your dream wedding. Our flowers and décor were absolutely amazing. The guests are still talking about how exceptional everything turned out. The rehearsal was very well run and her coordinating services were superb. The day of the wedding Barb handled everything so I did not have to worry and kept me calm with a crazy weather situation happening outside. Barb held the ceremony until the very last minute and made our dream courtyard wedding possible and I cannot ever thank her enough for doing that for us. I would highly recommend Barb and her Artistry Designs team if you are looking for excellence and 5 star service.

We were fortunate to have Barb from Artistry Designs Group do the floral and decor for our wedding, as well as our day of coordination. Not only is Barb an incredibly sweet and kind person, her attention to detail and thoughtful ideas throughout the planning process helped make our wedding so special. She was wonderful at our rehearsal and the day of, making sure everything went smoothly. I know most people are on here for wedding event planning, but I would recommend Barb for any event. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her.

I found Barb from Artistry Design Group on the website. In simple words: SHE IS THE BEST. She spent since May until December in contact with me ALL the time. She is a professional, hard worker, easy to work with, she knows what she does, she answer all your questions, she makes things happens, and she wont disappoint you. She will create your wedding the way you dream about it. I had so much fun all these months of planning, it was not stressful at all... I totally recommend Artistry Designs Group as your wedding planner without...

I admit that there was a moment about 2-3 weeks before the wedding when I went a little on the crazy-bride side and was nervous that the designs in my head were not going to make it to my wedding- which actually did happen- BUT it was in all the most amazingly right ways. Barb took the designs that we sketched and ideas that were drawn and made them a million times more impressive and beautiful in real life. When I walked into the ceremony and reception spaces, my jaw dropped at how beautifully she transformed the room. I was beyond impressed with the quality of the work that went into the flowers and what she gave me was the most gorgeous and romantic decor that a bride could ask for. From the moment that I met Barb, I knew that her designs would be amazing- her work really does speak for itself and she has the extras that most florists don't bother in upgrading (like unique containers for the flowers). She is incredibly creative and really wants to make sure that you are happy with what she produces. I got a ton of compliments on the flowers and decor throughout the evening and even to this day from my guests who told me that it was the prettiest wedding that they had ever attended. Barb truly made me the happiest bride that I could ever be; she not only turned my ideas into reality, but truly went beyond that to make my wildest dreams come true.

The flowers were so fresh and beautiful. Barb was very responsive, even late at night. Barb's ideas with color arrangement, especially with the linens were extremely helpful and really pulled the room together. This gal definitely knows what she is doing.

I hired Barb in June 2011 for my 11-5-11 wedding at the Longboat Key Club and Resort in Longboat Key, Florida. I came across a Chuppah online that Barb had done for another wedding and knew I wanted the same one. At the time, I had been working with a (local) Sarasota florist who I had been referred to by a friend. I was experiencing great frustration and difficulty while working with this florist and knew I needed to fire him. Our wedding was a destination wedding, so I needed to be sure I could trust my florist who would be hundreds of miles away. It was a no-brainer to then hire the florist of the beautiful Chuppah I wanted to replicate! At this point, I had a bad taste in my mouth regarding florists due to my prior experience. I called Barb up on a Saturday, we chatted, I told her my vision, and within a few hours, Barb sent me a written proposal that was to my liking. We would often speak on the phone and email at all hours of the night! Barb really has a passion for what she does and its evident in her product. She was everything I was looking for, responsive, calm, smart, and creative. During the 5 months I had to work with Barb, I only met her in person once. I came from out of town to see a beautiful mock up in her studio and to discuss the final details of the wedding. The mock up really wowed me! I was reassured that on the day of my wedding I would not need to worry about the room. My husband, father, mother, in-laws, and guests were totally shocked when they saw what Barb had created. It was even more spectacular then I could have imagined. Barb was an amazing person to work with and I would refer her to anyone!

Artristry Designs provided all the reception decor (table overlays, chivari chairs, palm trees, plus uplighting) Barbara was great to work with. Since I did all remote planning, she offered her honest opinions for the room decorations. Everything was wonderful.

I gave Barb full control on flowers and just gave her the wedding colors. She more than exceeded my expectations. My guests that received the table center pieces have said that they could not believe that the flowers lasted for over a month. He combinations of flower choices will exceed your expectations!

Barb provided the best service I could ask for at my wedding on 8-13-11. Her floral designs were just what I had imagined and her day of coordination was a life savor. I would definitely recommend her if you want a beautiful wedding on the beach like I had.

My July 3rd wedding was beautiful thanks to Artistry Design Group! I hired Barb,reviewed colors and had everything all planned out...then, my fiance was deployed to Japan.With not knowing when he would return we called the wedding off.Thankfully he returned home 43 days before our original wedding date-Within that time frame we changed our reception venue and colors Being the frazzled Bride to be ,Barb kept everything in check for me. I could not have asked for more! It literally took my breath away when I walked into our reception,the tables were AMAZINGLY beautiful! Her work is elegant,classy and eye popping! I was honored to have such talent shine at my wedding!

Barb and her whole team were simply amazing. With our wedding being across country I don't know how we would have done it without her. All I can say is thank you for making it the most special and rememberable day for us and our friends and family. Comments keep pouring in on how wonderful the wedding turned out and how perfect everything was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Barb! -The Lewis's

I found Barb because she was the only one who understood my vision and made me feel like whatever my fiance and I wanted to do she would do anything to make it happen! I live in CO, and wanted to do a destination wedding in FL, we didnt have the extra money to come out to FL to meet Barb, so I had to totally trust her with everything, and just hope that all the details we had discussed would turn out the way we wished for! Barb did so much for us, she did all of our floral arrangements, to our place settings, to light decorations in our reception space! It is pretty stressful not seeing any of your flowers or decorations until the day of your wedding, and when she walked into my room with my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets, I was over joyed and I couldn't wait to see what else she had done for us! Barb was so respectful of our budget needs, if there was ever something we wanted but couldn't afford she found a way to still get us what we wanted and stay in our limit. Due to my location, Barb and I had to communicate everything through email or phone and she was always very prompt at getting back to me! I would reccomend Barb at Artisry Designs to anyone planning a wedding! She did more than we could have hoped for! If she can make all of my wedding wishes come true from across the US, she will be there for all of you brides looking for your vision to become a reality.

I met with Barb and immediately knew that she was going to make my wedding look fabulous. If you have a vision or even a color scheme in mind, she will blow your mind with what she can come up with. Just small details that you never even thought of, like making sure that the linens aren't too dark because the color won't pop when the event runs into the night. I met with several other designers, and none had the experience or attention to details that she has. Of all the things that I remember about my wedding, it was all the beautiful colors and small details that Artistry Design created for THE event of my lifetime.

If you’re like me and have been dreaming of your wedding since you were a little girl, I would highly recommend Artistry Designs Group to help create your perfect day! From the first time I spoke with Barb, I knew that I wanted her to be my wedding florist and event stylist because she truly understood my “vision.” Barb was able to bring it to life for me on my wedding day and went above and beyond my dreams. Barb is an extremely creative and talented woman. Also, I have no idea how many other weddings Artistry Designs Group was busy working on, but Barb made me feel like I was the only one. She returned emails and phone calls within 24 hours, if not less. Barb was always SO patient with me! Her professionalism and attention to detail were stellar – I couldn’t have dreamt of anything better. She truly created my fairytale wedding and I couldn't have been happier with my decision to use her.

My daughter was married this past Saturday at the Tradewinds and we hired Barb to do the flowers and decorations and at the end, hired her to be the coordinator for the rehersal and day of the wedding. Due to my daughter having some health issues, I had taken over most of the planning and I can tell you that I have never met a more professional and highly talented floral and deco person. Barb offered her knowledge and made her wedding one that our guests will talk about for a long time. We were absolutely blown away when we walked into the reception.....Barb took over the event and I did not have to worry about anything but getting the girls ready for the ceremony and enjoying family who came in for the event. If you are thinking about hiring a coordinator, florals or deco, don't hesitate to book Artistry Design as you will not need to worry about a thing.... Thanks again to Barb and the gang for making this the most memorable event ever! Donna Glisson

My husband and I got married on 11/20/10 and Artistry Designs made our lives easier by providing phenomenal services which made our wedding absolutely stunning. They did our flowers for the ceremony/reception, lighting, decor, fabrics, etc. I could not believe my eyes when I walked into the room...it was perfect! I would recommend anyone to Artistry Designs especially if you do not have time or the artistic capabilities to create the wedding of a lifetime. I have heard from many of our guests that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to and I believe it!

My wedding was on 11/20/2010, Barb did such an amazing job. I didn't have to worry about a thing on my big day. She took my ideas and made them more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! From the linens to the flower selection, her vision was simply flawless! She truly made my day complete and gave me everything I asked for and more!!!! My wedding was truly spectacular!

We used Artistry Designs for our linens, flowers, lighting, monogram, and much more. Our wedding looked amazing and I don't think I could have been any happier. It was a little on the expensive side, but we did not have to do a thing besides sit back and see how beautiful everything turned out. I would definiately recommend Artistry Designs and hope you do as well!
