    Beautiful Flowers!

    I LOVED working with Barbara to design the flowers and decor for our wedding. She has such a fun, bubbly personality that made it easy to get along with her. From day one, I felt like Barbara just “got” the look that I was going for at our wedding - classic, timeless, and romantic. Barbara gave us a number of different options for flowers so that we could pick something within our budget. I was totally blown away by the flowers Barbara created on our Wedding Day. I spent a lot of time at the ceremony staring at the altar flowers in awe - they were exquisite and everything I dreamed of. Thank you Barbara for making our wedding so beautiful!!

    I cannot express how wonderful Barbara was to work with. She did the flowers for our wedding and everything was absolutely stunning. We had an art deco wedding and the flowers were so perfect. She was so easy and flexible to work with and was extremely professional. Wonderful experience working with Barbara!

    Barbara did absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! Our flowers were stunningly beautiful and I cannot say enough about how great they were. What was most important to me was the big centerpieces, & not only was Barbara very accommodating to that, but I was blown away at how amazing they turned out!!!!! She did amazing- from the bouquets, to centerpieces, to the flowers on the arbor, etc. Would definitely recommend!!!!!

    One of the best vendors I had was FTDF. Barbara was so easy to work with and her creativity, pristine taste and ability to change an entire event space cannot be matched. Her floral designs were breathtaking and much larger than you can imagine. Pictures do not do them justice. You must be there in person to appreciate the beauty she creates. When I walked into my reception area I was moved to tears because Barbara was able to take what I had imagined and explained to her and bring it to life. She breathed beauty and life into my wedding and truly made my day feel like a dream. I would pick her every time.

    BARBARA IS THE BEST!!! She is amazingly talented, brings more flowers than is necessary, and does beautiful work. I cannot say enough good things about her...picking a florist was something I was dreading during the wedding planning process. I love flowers, but am not super creative and had no price reference to go on...so I wanted a florist who would also do design, but they needed to be creative enough to work within a limited budget. Barbara sat down with me to listen to my scattered ideas and things I liked, then showed me a few things she'd done in the past...and somehow made our ceremony and reception look like a wedding in a magazine! She was by far the best vendor selection we made.

    If you are lucky enough to get Barbara, count your lucky stars!!! She is not only a florist, but a true Artist...she transformed our venue into more than we could imagined and created what our daughter wanted. Using the mystical theme of under the stars and moon, she made the venue into a sea of various candles and orchids floating in water, and a trellis of sparkling lights behind the bride and groom and flowing greenery throughout all the tables...it was the most magical beautiful place I have ever seen!!! She is flexible and works within your budget using the best resources to give you the most beautiful arrangements. Best of all, she is a great support for brides and mothers and keeps things calm and peaceful with a great attitude....you will be surprised by her talent and be amazed as she can create your Dream in flowers for your Wedding Day!!!

    All I can say is she made my wedding amazing! I was planning a large wedding with her but things changed where we had to move the date up. Barbra has less than ONE week to design and make my cake as well as my large bridal Bouquet 6 bridemaids bouquts and other misc. flowers. She was beyond willing to help.

    Even before the wedding date change she was in constant contact with me. I could text or email her day or night and get a reply right away.
    She was also down to earth and great at listening to what I wanted and making my vision more complete.

    She also has some amazing decor you can rent from her. I wish I was able to use it all.
    I cannot express how happy I am with From This Day Forward! I will be using her for other events and will tell all my friends and family about her work.

    If you want a floral designer for your wedding or special event who is personable, flexible, professional, patient, caring and creative while paying attention to every minute detail, offering suggestions and alternatives when you feel overwhelmed, Barbara is who you want to call. I consider "From This Day Forward" Wedding and Special Event Design to be Mooresville's premier wedding and event florist. I cannot recommend Barbara and her expertise highly enough. She met with my daughter and I in our home and incorporated my daughter's ideas for her New Year's Eve Gatsby-styled wedding with our budget tocreate absolutely stunning arrangements that took our guest's breath away when they walked through the doors into the ballroom at Trump National. The venue was beautiful and my daughter's choice of colors of black with fuschia and gold sequined tablecloths made the room sparkle, but the floral arrangments that Barbara designed of different heights and shades of fuschia pink and white in mecury glass were the finishing touch to the room that generated that "wow" effect we had envisioned from the beginning. If your wish is to work with a floral designer who can "see" your ideas and enhance them to create even more than you'd dreamt possible, do not hesitate to call Barbara.

    Barbara listened and did exactly what I wanted down to every detail. Our visions for my event were exactly in synch, and the decor and flowers were beyond gorgeous! We had more compliments on our decor. Everyone loved the classy and upscale design. Barbara even took on more event planner-type duties and helped with details beyond just flowers and decor. She was truly amazing!

    If you want a dream wedding then this is the vendor for you. Reasonably priced and all of the work is outstanding. When my daughter saw how beautiful everything was, she began to cry. It was even more than she could imagine.

    I met Barbara at a Bridal show and from our first meeting I knew she understood exactly what I wanted. I never saw a finished product before the actual wedding day but she made me feel
    So at ease I just knew it would turn out perfect. I couldn't have been more right. My reception was everything I envisioned and more! Barbara isn't a huge floral shop which means she doesn't charge like one but the finished product is better. She is there on your wedding day making sure everything looks flawless unlike big florists that send workers with the finished product. She even made sure the small tables outside the reception room looked great. I couldn't be happier with the finished product!!

    Barbara made my daughter's dreams come true. She is wonderful to work with and flexable with any budget. One guest comment was "when you walked into the room it smelled like roses". The room was dreamy, everything that makes your day be that extra special.

    Barbara is amazing! She listens to your vision and follows through beyond what you could ever imagine. She did my best friends wedding and I knew when I saw her reception that I had to have Barbara do mine! I made sure she was available before booking my wedding date. She is the type of florist that you can meet with once and feel at ease that it will look exactly like you want. My wedding flowers and decor was one part of the wedding I truly did not stress about because I trusted her so much. She is truly passionate about what she does and treats your wedding like it is her own! In my opinion, if you use anyone besides Barbara you're crazy!

    It was such a pleasure to work with Barbara with From This Day Forward over the past year to plan my wedding. She brought all of my ideas to life to make our big day feel so special and personal to us. I received so many compliments on all of my flowers and the beautiful arrangements. Barbara did not leave out a single detail! Everything was absolutely gorgeous, she was so accommodating and helpful from the very first meeting! I can't say enough great things about everything she did for us. She truly exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much for your hard work and exceptional service Barbara!!

    Barbra was by far my favorite vendor! She was so kind and couldn't have gone more out of her way to make sure all the details of my wedding were perfect! She did my cup cake cake, flowers and decor! Everything was more then I could have ever imagined! Everyone of my friends and family said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! Barbra felt like family and I feel blessed to have had her decorate my wedding! The cup cakes were delicious I had three different flavors and all were yummy! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and already have!

    Barbara is awesome, she did our wedding cake, groom's cake, table arrangments, and all the wedding party flowers. Her cakes not only look delicious, but they also taste delicious! Her death by chocolate cake with fresh strawberries makes an amazing groom's cake! She is very easy to work with, and also does floral arrangments which made my life easier (kills two birds with one stone!) Her arrangments are beautiful, my red rose bouquet must have had 60-70 roses in it! Highly recommend, especially if you get married at Carrigan Farms!!

    I cannot recommend Barbara with From This Day Forward enough! She is absolutely amazing at what she does and is so incredibly talented. She perfectly captured the style I was looking for in both my flowers and wedding cake. The cake not only looked beautiful, but it tasted AMAZING. The flowers were perfect down to every last detail. As a wedding vendor myself, I always recommend Barbara to all of my brides and they always come back to me with nothing but exceptional things to say. Having the opportunity to see and work with a variety of florists, I can say with confidence that From This Day Forward tops them all. Instead of sticking to one specific style, I have seen her create a variety of looks unique to each bride with one common factor - they always look so beautiful and fresh! Barbara is so much fun to work with - book From This Day Forward and I promise you will not be disappointed!

    Barbara did an amazing job making my Pinterest inspiration come to life for my wedding day. She was conscious of my budget and offered solutions for using different types of flowers to achieve the look I was going for, but still keep things reasonable. She also has a huge selection of vases, candle holders, votives, etcetera, so it was nice not to have to go buy all those things that I wouldn’t need after the wedding. My wedding coordinator doesn’t normally work in the area, and she was blown away by the gorgeous arrangements Barbara put together for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Thank you so much Barbara!

    I can't say enough good things about our experience using FTDF for our 10.21.17 wedding at The Brawley Estate in Mooresville! I was drawn to Barbara for her gorgeous designs at an affordable price - I don't think there is another florist in the Charlotte area who can produce such high quality work for such a reasonable amount! Barbara was very passionate and attentive from the beginning as she understood my vision for a "vintage Southern glamour" affair and offered suggestions and advice to bring it to reality. I was absolutely blown away with the final product - I remember watching from the bridal suite as she and her team decorated the pergola for our ceremony and feeling such a sense of excitement and relief to see the final product! Our guests commented multiple times on how gorgeous our flowers and decorations were. Barbara made our dreams come true, and we are so grateful for her because of it!

    Barbara recently did all the flowers for our October wedding. She was phenomenal!! We had so many compliments about our flowers. She arranged the flowers for the Arbor onsite and it turned out better than I could have imagined. She was a pleasure to work with and so creative. Could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out.

    Barbara was recommended to my by my wedding planner, Carla Eustache with Style Perfect Events in Charlotte, NC, and I couldn't have been happier with choosing her as my florist! Everyone at my church for our Wedding Ceremony said the altar arrangement was the most beautiful arrangement of flowers they had ever seen! Hands down, Barbara was great to work with! She was very detailed and was flexible with my ever-changing mind! We worked long distance together planning the floral's for our wedding so we sent a lot of emails back and forth and several phone calls together getting everything just right! Barbara was very well priced and was able to offer suggestions on ways to cut costs so she could fit within your budget. My wedding bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely stunning, she took photos I showed her and replicated it!! She also surprised me with special flowers in my bouquet on my wedding day, which was extremely nice of her! Overall, she was a great vendor to work with and I would highly recommend her!!
