I was married about a year ago, and I still think about the flowers. I told Alana about my general vibe and my colors, and she took off with it and knocked it out of the park. Amazing. I'd hire her again for anything. More...

Alana was absolutely wonderful to work with! Not only was she able to capture our vision for our wedding, but was great at working within our budget. I loved how she helped us repurpose our ground alter to surround our sweathearts table. Again, helping us stay within our budget and still create a magical surrounding. Alana was also easy to communicate with and responsive to all our emails. More...

I hit a wall when it came to wedding flowers, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted or where to ever start. I searched wedding flowers near me and found a website where I filled in some information and that would be sent to vendors near me. Not fully believing this would work but I would give it a shot. I ended up getting an email a few hours later from Flowers by Alana, so I decided to take a look and I fell in love. The reviews with pictures of other past wedding and how beautiful they were, truly made my decision to go with her. She was actually able to chat that day about flowers. I was nervous but shared what I was potentially thinking and my vision for the wedding with colors and the style. She was patient with me as I changed my mind a few times, but ultimately was able to get exactly what I hoped for. My only wish is that I would have looked into preserving wedding bouquets, so I could continue to look at the beauty of the flowers and be reminded of our wedding day. I put my trust in Alana and she did not disappoint, everyone loved the hard work she put into making every arrangement perfect. More...

Hiring Flowers by Alana for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Alana is a consummate professional and her work is outstanding. The entire process was easy and fun! She took the time to understand my vision, preferences, and budget. We looked at inspirational photos together and she provided great feedback (pros and cons) which led to her designing something really beautiful, original, and lasting. The flowers were so versatile and stunning that my husband and I sacrificed other things just to be able to take every arrangement back to our home and enjoy them for as long as possible. Flowers by Alana was such a great partner to have from start to finish! Thank you for making our day look as beautiful as it felt! More...

My husband and I hired Alana for our small intimate wedding at Trillium Lake back in June. From the beginning of our vendor search for a florist, I had a vision in mind. I wanted something unique that would fit our venue and my style perfectly. I had seen Alana's work in a staged wedding shoot she had previously been a part of and was blown away by her work. I was a bit nervous that someone would understand my vision, especially since we only spoke on the phone since my husband and I live in CA. After our phone conversation, I just knew that Alana was going to make my vision come true! She was so well versed in guiding my thoughts on what I wanted and how to execute them into the perfect bouquet and arrangements. Throughout our communications leading up to the wedding, Alana was always professional, kind, and very responsive. I added a few items closer to the wedding date and she made it happen without an issue! On the big day, Alana arrived promptly and with all the flowers neatly in tow. Although we only interacted for a bit, her work completely spoke for itself! I was in shock when I saw my bouquet and the rest of my arrangements. It was exactly what I had in mind- and she was able to pull it off with only a phone conversation, a few emails, and my Pinterest board in tow. Everything was absolutely stunning, and I was so happy with how all of my flowers turned out- from the boutonnieres to my bridal party bouquets- everything was picture perfect. I would recommend hiring Alana in a heartbeat! More...

Alana was recommended to us by another vendor. She goes above and beyond to make sure your flowers are perfect! All of our flowers for our wedding turned out better than I could’ve imagined 🥹 She even made a flower headpiece for our flower girl that was absolutely perfect ❤️ We’re so thankful she was apart of our big day!

If you are a couple with a big, bold vision, Alana is your GIRL! We were so grateful she wholeheartedly embraced our ideas and truly brought our vision to life. We asked for a moody, woodland fairytale and that is exactly what we got - and much more! She perfectly captured our intention and got creative to work within our budget, adding ideas and concepts we hadn't even considered. She dived right in when we told her my wife wanted to carry an axe(!!) down the aisle and made it the true statement piece of the wedding. My bouquet was beyond what I could have hoped for and creatively paid homage to family. Alana is a true artist and wholly embraced us as a couple, celebrating who we are. And our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the whole day was! xx More...

For our wedding we decided to lean in to the vibe at our woodsy venue and just have greenery with no florals. Alana did an incredible job bringing our vision to life. She is genuinely talented and it is clear she takes her role very seriously. In all honesty, I barely saw Alana day-of since she was setting up while I got ready and did first-look photos with my partner. But when I arrived at the ceremony and reception sites everything was set up on time and looked stunning. It was nice to have everything ready to go with no hiccups and nothing needed from me whatsoever.

There were a few times during the planning process where we went back and forth on price and there were definitely moments where it felt as though Alana did not appreciate my trying to cut back in order to fit a tight budget. The $1,000 minimum was not mentioned until after our initial consulting call and pretty far into our email discussion. That said, her prices were similar to other florists in the area and in the end it felt worth it the incredible skill that went into making everything look beautiful. I would absolutely hire Alana again and recommend her to anyone getting married in the area.

Alana truly listened when I explained my vision. I knew I could put all my trust in her for our wedding florals from our first conversation. She created the most beautiful arrangements that blew everyone at our wedding away. She was flexible and reliable, and allowed me to add things to our order easily after booking. I would recommend her to anyone in need of gorgeous florals. More...

When my husband left me for another lady I was so hurt and I used to cry every day. Whenever I could miss him I could just close my bedroom and cry because I never wanted my kids to see me crying. It was tough times to endure the stress and at work, I could not perform well being a nurse I work with on many people but I could be moody and could even lose tempers for small things my colleagues complained and I signed many warnings before the matron. I tried so much to move on but it was hard I love my husband sometimes I could see him in my dreams wake up thinking he would come but nothing, I used to SMS him but no response calling him he never picked my calls and finally blocked all my numbers not even to support the kids. many times I tried to talk to his family and friends they tried their best but he had completely changed and he regarded everyone as a stranger kept a deaf ear on everyone who tried to talk to him. I resorted to sangomas and spell casters but not even at one time did I see a change. I started drinking alcohol because I couldn't handle the stress but as you all know once you are drunk you are out of stress it could be worse once the alcohol is out. I can't forget the day I came back home and our firstborn asked me where is Daddy I miss him a lot why he is no longer coming home I never gave a right answer I went in the bedroom started crying at this time. I thought a lot of bad things but again because I loved my kids I knew I had to be strong because it was my role to play as a mother. I phoned one family friend she is such a darling to me and she gave me a number of Mama Nana +27672073600 she said she had helped her two years ago I had lost all my trust in everyone but she strengthened me and gave me the go-ahead to try Mama Nana +27672073600. I thought about it with all my heart and finally decided to contact Mama I made everything known to her and she said that we had a future with my husband and we are compatible but the lady had used something on my man which had diverted his feelings away from not only me but also from the whole family. I was so angry at this point and I asked how-how it was possible to get him back. mama assured me that I would get my happiness back in three days Before I began the prayer with Mama Nana +27672073600 and sent her my info with that of my husband I was given the instructions of the prayers we did together over the phone and after the fast day my husband texted me saying hi it was not a big message but I was so happy for that small massage I never replied though and after 48 hours of the prayer my husband came home I was not home by that time I was by neighbors I heard the car hooting and rushed to see who was it. He asked me to sit in the car we talked he was so romantic and he asked my forgiveness since then our lives have been progressing both in relationships and finances. I have written my story to tell everyone who may be in tears that I was like that before. If you can contact Mama Nana +27672073600 you will get help. Thank you, mama, More...

It was over 3k, but you wouldn’t know.
I should’ve gone with my intuition and went with someone else after she asked for the pompas grass to be returned - to be picked out and given back to her, no rate compensation for it. But then she said she found another vendor who could provide her with the pompas and I wouldn’t need to return it to her. But the day of my wedding, there wasn’t anything that was disappointing except for flowers. I asked her about the limp dead looking flowers, she was rude and said that’s the way the plant is. I know what limp brown old flowers look like.
If I could do it again, Id go with someone else.

Alana is an incredible professional that any couple would be fortunate to work with on their special day. A month before the wedding, we had some floral adjustments for the ceremony- she took our idea and ran with it, going above and beyond anything we could have imagined! Alana clearly loves what she does, and has an obvious talent. It is such a joy to work with people who are passionate and talented! When we arrived on-site, she checked in with us to make sure we loved everything, and how could we not! Prior to working with Alana we thought about doing out own florals. I'm so glad we went with a professional who ensured everything was perfect, was flexible when the weather changed, and allowed our family and friends to enjoy time together leading up to the wedding (rather than racing around and trying to put together arrangements). We loved how she added hops to our arrangements as my husband is a brewer. I would definitely recommend working with Alana. More...

Talking to Alana about my vision was great! I felt good about the vision and everything on the day was beautiful, but I thought everything was going to be a little bit ‘fuller’ than what it was and especially for how much money I paid (specifically my bouquet, arbor and table garland). She was also so busy that she couldn’t do a walk through at the venue with me, which makes your planning as the bride a little bit more stressful. Overall, it was all beautiful, but this was my most expensive vendor and was hoping for a little bit more for the price. More...
