Cece Designs and Events LLC

Cece is an great designer and florist, that's a fact. However, that is not even close to the experience we had. She did an amazing design presentation, said all the right things, stated "I can make that happen for sure" at the end of it. I spoke to her the day of our presentation and not again until the final walkthrough 6 months later. My colors were (supposed to be) black and white with lots of greenery. What I received were white, red, purple, and pink random flowers and "hand painted" anthuriums. I was told I was getting black and white anemone, white and black ranunculus, black calas, and eucalyptus. My husbands boutonnière was supposed to be a black and white anemone and it was PURPLE. At my final walkthrough I stated there better not be "one red flower at my wedding; specifically red roses" and was reassured through text there would not be. My bouquet was almost completely red. My altar was over $2,000 and looked as if it was 1/4 of the way completed. She literally painted red tropical anthuriums black (I'm assuming bc she had no other options) It truly looked as if they used whatever flowers they had leftover from their previous event on my wedding. Over $11,000.00 and everything I was guaranteed was nowhere to be found. Don't get me wrong, the flowers were pretty, but they were 100% not what I wanted or what I requested, or what I was promised/what she was contractually obligated to provide. The design presentation I was shown is NOTHING like what I received. Not to mention she and her "team" were 3 hours late arriving to set up and were "throwing my wedding together" while I was literally walking down the aisle. Cece acted as if she had made all of my dreams come true and actually created my worst nightmare. heartbroken and quite frankly disgusted about how it turned out. I've yet to receive any correspondence apologizing or attempting to respond to my concerns and quite frankly I should be suing her for the multiple contractual discrepancies there are. Oh, and she did a live video of my wedding prior to, stating that she told me "there aren't any black flowers" and my wedding was "her vision of a black and white wedding". I didn't pay for her vision, she didn't present her vision, we didn't contractually agree to her vision. We agreed to mine. The live video was like a slap in the face. Insulting, really. Had I not been more focused on the fact that I was marrying the love of my life and spending time with my loved ones, this would've absolutely ruined my wedding. Biggest disappointment ever. I've included photos of what I received (red, ridiculously off putting altar) VS. what was in my design presentation SHE PUT TOGETHER AND ASSURED ME ID BE RECEIVING FOR MY WEDDING.

CeCe, SK, and the rest of their team were fantastic!!! Our flowers were absolutely beautiful and everything turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone is very friendly and easy to work with, but communication felt like a bit of a hassle. Ceces team really showed up the day of the wedding and designed and put together a stunning piece of art- I really couldnt have imagined it being done by anyone else. The flowers and greenery were fresh and are still beautiful even days after our wedding. Everyone was raving about how fantastic everything looked!! Their design and creativity really pulled everything I had envisioned, together and brought the planning and my vision to life!!

CeCe and her team are PHENOMENAL! I love flowers and that's the first thing I take note of when I go to a wedding so I knew I had to choose the right person. CeCe is truly an expert. I told her the aesthetic I was going for with my wedding and left the actual flower and design choices in her hands. She knocked it out of the park. EVERYONE at the wedding and since has asked who did my flowers and has been so complementary of her work! Several guests have even commented that they have never seen such beautiful flowers at a wedding! CeCe and her team are absolutely worth the investment. If I ever need florals for a special event, she's the only person I would call!

CeCe Designs is the premier floral designer in Birmingham, AL. She is incredibly talented, and goes above and beyond for her clients. We have the pleasure of working together often but she recently designed a fundraiser for a client of mine and it was truly stunning. Everything was delivered on time, set up finished early and looked beautiful. All the attendees commented how beautiful it was!
