E Johnston Designs

wed me what each arrangement would look like ahead of time. Not only did she help with all floral arrangement’s but she helped with centerpieces, candles, aisle decor, you name it - Elaine can do it! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and she answered every single question me and my mom had (which was a lot!). Elaine has such a calming presence and brought so much ease to the planning process - me and my mom absolutely adored her!!

meeting she had many inspiration pictures available to look through so that we could visualize exactly what our arrangements would look like. Our event proposal had all of the inspiration photos included with detailed descriptions of everything included in each arrangement. It was so nice to be able to go back and see everything listed out and make adjustments as needed. On our wedding day, our florals were more than we could have asked for, they were absolutely stunning! I would highly recommend E Johnston Designs to anyone planning their wedding!

hat to do for florals (DIY, silk, rentals, a combination of these things) because our budget was very limited. After hours and days of research, my coordinator finally talked me into setting up an appointment with Elaine and I am extremely thankful she did. When I first met with Elaine, she was incredibly kind and completely understood our budget constraints. She never made me feel like I needed to spend more than I wanted/budgeted for. In fact, she saved me a ton of money with different tips and tricks of the trade. She was well-organized and professional! I truly appreciated how she quoted me flowers compared to other florists. Her quotes include pictures of the flowers you are getting - which is great if you are a visual gal like me. She executed her setup perfectly, and I felt like I was provided exactly what was agreed upon. My flowers were absolutely beautiful and I would 100% book with her again! *Please keep in mind that if you are planning a wedding and florals are not a top priority or you are working with a limited budget, your expectations should match this. Elaine thanked me several times for not having unrealistic expectations of her work with a tight budget!

tment with her, she gave us different options as to what type of colors and designs we can use for our wedding. We personally don't know a lot regarding flowers but she explained to us what colors would match up with the designs we have in mind. She also provided us some options in terms of flower budget for our wedding. If they ask us who will we recommend for a florist, I will definitely recommend her for we had a great experience working with her. She brought our flowers right on time too!

mall sentence and crafted me an array of bouquets, boutonnieres, and so many beautiful fine detailed touches. She also did it all under budget! She recommended blue thistle instead of blue roses as a way to drastically cut my costs, and I absolutely loved the idea of them in my bouquet. She made everything so beautiful while being cost effective. I dreaded the idea of buying centerpieces for the tables, as I saw them a waste, but she designed a super simple yet elegant ring of foliage and blue baby's breath that was endlessly complimented on. My bridal bouquet was also everything I could have dreamed of. A waterfall bouquet with large white roses, blue thistle and blue baby's breath, tied together with star leaves and soft green draping fern. Elaine's designs are always stellar and she put my desires first while saving me money where she could. There’s no better florist you could find here in Houston.

stay within budget. The day of the wedding she brought my vision to life! Everything was gorgeous and I could not have asked for a better florist!

I highly recommend Elaine and her team for a special event.

with my wedding and no matter what style or budget you have, Elaine is going to take great care of you!

get to pull off at the chapel, but she made it happen! And I got my full damage deposit back despite all the hanging vines and such. She was really able to make the overflowing overgrown garden atmosphere come to life. She took time to meet with me multiple times to go over “my vision,” she’d go through my pinterest and ask me what I liked about each photo. She’s direct, honest and kind which I really appreciated, because I had no doubt that she meant what she said. She was very professional and went above and beyond on everything she did. She worked with me even when I changed my mind. She was incredibly well organized, which gave me a great sense of peace. She thinks through all the processes and steps. The flowers felt generous even for the price I paid. Every time I think of my wedding flowers and EJ designs I can’t help but smile. Not everything worked out the way I had hoped at my wedding, but the flowers were one thing that worked out perfectly. Can’t say enough good things about her and her work!

arrangement, but she is knowledgeable in her flowers. She was able to help me stay within my budget by choosing flowers or greenery that looked similar for a fraction of the cost. She also made sure that every flower arrangement used during the ceremony was re-purposed to be used again in the reception. My husband also loved the fact that his boutonniere was magnetic and he didn't have to worry about being stabbed by a pin all night.

But Elaine said she would work her magic and boy did she! I'm obsessed with the way our wedding looked, it was absolutely gorgeous!! Anyone needing a florist should hire Elaine, you can trust her 110%! She's the best!

sion I had for flowers (as I didn't necessarily have a huge preference on the exact names of certain flowers, just the look that I wanted) and I sent her some example pictures, and she made my vision come to life!! Her pricing is also very reasonable, meaning that you really can have beautiful wedding flowers while working on a budget. I cannot speak highly enough of E Johnston Designs!!!
