Some Kinda Wonderful added a special touch to our special day. Monica really took the time to get to know us as a couple. We did not want anything over the top, but on the same token we wanted the flowers to stand out and represent us. We were extremely pleased with SKW. We had so many guests come up to us during and after our wedding telling us how beautiful and vibrant our flowers were. SKW actually handed the everyone their bouquets and pinned on all the corsages and boutonnières. They came after the reception and removed all the center pieces so we didn't have to worry about it. We definitely recommend them and would use them again. A truly wonderful experience.

Beautiful Flowers!
I just got married on March 10th. Monica with SKW did my flowers and everything was absolutely beautiful! We got complements on the flowers all night! The flowers were perfect for the room and I couldn't be happier. There was just the right amount. It was windy out that day and my bouquet held up all night! The best part was she fit within my budget and was so easy to work with. In our initial meeting I wasn't sure what would go well in the room and she had ideas right away! She has a great vision. I would definitely recommend SKW for flowers!

Exceeded Our Expectations (within Budget!)
We booked SKW for all of our floral, linens, and decorations. While planning our wedding I was most concerned about the ceremony/reception decor being perfect and being an out of town bride, was stressed about being unfamiliar with the area vendors. We really lucked out in finding Monica from SKW. I gave her my ideas, sometimes via phone/email, and she was able to offer suggestions/advice on putting it all together all while staying well within our budget. Monica always gave us her personal attention, which meant so much knowing we were working directly with the expert and not a middle man or a piece of paper. Three weeks before our wedding we found that our venue coordinator did not inform us of some important details. I immediately called Monica for her help and she was able to come up with a solution in minutes. My husband and I were absolutely blown away with the job that Monica and her team did the day of our wedding. Not only did she exactly match my ideas but also added so many personal touches/details that made our wedding stand out. The day of the wedding you are so busy and have no control of what is going on so finding a decorator you can trust is so important. It still puts a smile on my face when I think about seeing the decorations in the ceremony and reception rooms for the first time!! My husband and I are still hearing compliments about our decor. Thank you SKW!!

Amazing Service & Beautiful Decor!
SKW was a dream come true to work with for our wedding. Monica went above and beyond anything we could have asked for in a vendor. The flowers were stunning and exactly what I wanted for our winter wedding. The extra touches at the reception were fabulous as well... beautiful linens and flowers that were repurposed from the ceremony. Quality product at a fair price! I would recommend SKW to anyone looking for a florist.

Choose SKW!
SKW provided the flowers for my July 30th wedding this past summer. I could not have been happier with their service. Monica was beyond helpful and was able to select the perfect arrangements that fit my budget. She knew exactly what my preferences were and matched the flowers to what I had imagined. Choosing our flowers was one of the easiest processes in our planning stages due to the expertise and helpfulness of Monica and her team. I can't think of a better place to go!

Just Beautiful
Monica from SKW was the florist for our wedding on September 2, 2011. When we met with her to talk about the flowers, she was able to offer us many suggestions to help us achieve the look we wanted. When the flowers showed up for the ceremony, they were fantastic. We were thrilled with how beautiful they were and how much they added to our pictures. Thank you, Monica.

Amazing Job!
We were married on September 17, 2011 and Monica from SKW was my florist. She did an amazing job. From the first time I met with her she was very helpful. I didnt really know what I wanted during our first meeting but she took the time to help me figure it out. When on our second meeting I basically changed everything she was super helpful and was not upset she had to do everything all over again. The day of the wedding was perfect and Monica did everything I wanted and more. The reception was gorgeous. Thanks Monica for all your help. I would totally recommend SKW for your floral needs.

SKW is Awesome
We loved having Monica as our florist for our wedding on September 30th, 2011. They couldn't have done a better job. Our flowers were beautiful, and we loved that they offer a take down service at the end of the night. Monica is very easy to work with. She gives great opinions on what will work and what will make your wedding look beautiful. Whenever I had a question, she answered it well, and I never felt like I was being rushed off the phone with her. She is very respectful in your wishes of what you would like to see on YOUR day! I have nothing but good things to say about SKW. We will be using them for all of our flower needs.

Monica's creative vision comes to life!
Monica was referred to me by a coworker. My experience is word of mouth will always bring you the best in the business. I met with Monica. She was flexible in working with my schedule. I brought to her my mother's 50 year old tiara she wore for her wedding along with my grandmother's 80 year old shoe clips. I wanted to use these embelishments in my bouquet. Monica took 1 look at these and her inspiration, artistry, & listening to my request presented me a bouquet so beautiful & captivating. My guests remarked on the presence it created in a blush & ivory pallette. In addition, my maid of honor & bridesmaids were to be bright, cheery, and full of color. She incorporated colors that nailed it keeping in my budget. Again, guests were remarking on all our bouquets. Monica was punctual, personable, & professional. Any floral design or fresh flower purchases will be coming from SKW. Thank you Monica and your staff for creating my vision and making it a reality.

My flowers were better then I expected
I could never have imagined that my flowers could be sooo beautiful. And the price was very reasonable. Monica took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about a single thing.

Great job!
The owner Monica is great! Our flowers were beautiful. The only thing that I was disappointed about was that I only wanted my bouquet to have a certain flower and all of the bouquets had it...they still looked awesome though!

The perfect touch
My Flowers were just perfect! It was exactly what I pictured when I did my talk with Monica. They were the perfect shade of hot princess pink! I loved all the sparkles!! The flowers arrived on time at the church and were set up perfectly at the reception site. I was so pleased how well all the flowers held up all night long! Thank you for doing a wonderful job!

Beautiful Flowers, Great Florist
Monica was wonderful. At the initial visit she really listened to my vision and took detailed notes, and was always great with following up with me. She was flexible when I changed my order several times, and showed up early to the wedding and had everything layed out and labeled. The flowers were beautiful. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on my bouquet!! The bridesmaid bouquets were absolutely gorgeous as well! Monica really brought my vision to life and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Dear Monica,
I wanted to send this note sooner, but it has taken a little bit to catch up on the rest of life after the wedding. I wanted to let you know that Chad, myself, and everyone else at our wedding thought our flowers were beautiful! I loved how colorful they were, and the blue/teal/purple orchids were ever so lovely both in the bouquets, and in the center pieces. We had claret colored table cloths, so the orchids popped when against this. We got a few preview pics back of the wedding and the flowers looked great! Thank you and your staff for doing such a great job!

Dear Monica
I finally am getting around to telling you just how gorgeous we thought the flowers for Gina and Greg's wedding were. Her bouquet was spectacular as was the unity candle arrangement. The flowers you chose for all the bouquets were perfect with the girls dresses.
We were also pleased with the look of the room for the reception. A special thank you to your staff for setting things up so beautifully and for working with the table runners that were sent instead of the napkins to go under the centerpieces. They added dimension that we would not have had with the napkins.
Gina said it was the best day of her life and worth all the stress. Thanks again for all your suggestions and for your wonderful creativity. Your talent helped make it a beautiful event.

When making plans for our only daughter's wedding, we wanted the best for her. I didn't say the most expensive, I said the best. We attended 2 bridal shows for ideas and contacted and met with several floral providers. We chose to go with Some Kinda Wonderful for several reasons. Monica offered a personal touch. We liked her and trusted her the moment we met her. The variety she offered was extensive. We had some of our own ideas which she was happy to accommodate, but when we were unsure and needed direction she offered her input she gave us great suggestions. The little church our daughter got married in was not much more than a room. After Monica added her flare it was like something from a fairy tale. Many guest commented on the flowers in the church as well as the beautiful centerpieces on the dinner tables. Monica also worked in conjunction with our cake provider and added flowers to the cake to make it one of the most beautiful displays imaginable. Everything for our daughter's special day was perfect. We couldn't have asked for more.

Monica and her staff were top notch. Their full service approach is second to none. They took care of all the details including making sure everyones flowers were in place, as well as transporting the ceremony flowers to the reception and setting everything up there. I didnt even have to worry about returning any of the rental items because they took care of that detail as well. The flowers exceeded my expectations thanks to Monica's innovative ideas. As a bride you want your wedding day to be perfect and thanks to Some Kinda Wonderful, it was just that.

Monica did a wonderful job with the flowers for my wedding. I went to her with a very vague idea of what I wanted, and she was so helpful with her vast knowledge of flowers and coordinating colors. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. She really did help make my wedding beautiful.

Some kinda wonderful provided me with something that is priceless - peace of mind during one of the craziest times of my life - my wedding planning. The professionalism, attention to details, great taste where just a few things I experienced with Monica's services. Not to mention the added value she provided delivering things that I hadn't even thought about to simply help our special day be that much more special. The ceremony as well as the reception, specially the reception, where absolutely breathtaking. Hard to believe that all of that was included in such competitive, reasonable value. We really lucked out.

Monica created beautiful, non-traditional bouquets full of my favorite flowers - sunflowers in particular. She worked hard to create exactly the loose wildflower look I was after. When some of my original flower choices turned out to be unavailable or poor choices for the bouquet, Monica called me immediately with ideas for substitute flowers that had a similar color and look. Her creative style and flair for elegance really showed! Monica and her staff delivered flowers to two locations and built beautiful centerpieces. Many of the wedding professionals that I met with before Monica were much more expensive and some of them tried to force their own sense of taste onto my wedding. Monica worked with me to create a look that was just ours. What's even more amazing is that nearly all of our planning and decision making was done long distance from Denver, Colorado. Thanks, Monica for making a special day even better!

Some Kinda Wonderful's exquisite creations set the tone for my magical, romantic wedding; all of their work was unique yet elegant. I would recommend SKW to any bride looking for sophisticated, yet affordable, designs.

Monica at Some Kinda Wonderful did an amazing job with the decor at my wedding. I was planning my wedding from out-of-state and she made it so easy for me. She had really great ideas and was very conscious of my budget. I loved that I could use one vendor who took care of flowers, room decor, center pieces - all my decorating needs. On the day of the wedding, she made everything completely stress-free and I received many compliments on the flowers and decorations. I even had a couple of last minutes changes that she took care of it right away without any problems. Monica is professional, her flowers are absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend her to any bride.

Some Kind of Wonderful really made my dreams come true. I had a vision and SKW brought my vision to life. Monica was very personal and professional. She worked with me one on one with my ideas and my budget. I used a mix of fresh and floral arrangements. I also took advantage of some of the rental items. A bride has soo many things to worry about on that special day. SKW really came through for me. Monica's attendants were very professional and timely in delivering and picking up the floral pieces. I would definately recommend SKW to future brides

I would definitely recommend SKW to any bride. You will not be disappointed. When I first started thinking about flowers and decorations I was completely overwhelmed, however after meeting with Monica and hearing her ideas it was like a weight was taken off my shoulders. The way that Monica put everything together was amazing. It was elegant and trendy. I loved the way the decorations really showed off my style and personality. The price was very affordable and the best part was that they did all the delivery, setup and take down of flowers. Talk about a big stress reliever on your wedding day! Thank you so much.

Thank you for the truly beautiful flowers at Lucy's wedding and reception! There were so many wonderful comments about the centerpieces ~ no one had ever seen anything like the giant calla lilies before, and I was so thrilled with the pew decorations ~ so much more than I imagined. All the flowers were perfect! Thank you. I'm very pleased to provide a reference for you, anytime.

I would LOVE to thank you for the beautiful flowers that help make my wedding day! I absolutely loved, loved, loved my bouquet! You definitely made my dream bouquet come to life. As far as everything else, I'm more than pleased that I trusted your expertise with coming up with the other flower arrangements. I was pleasantly surprised with everything! I would definitely recommend you to family and friends. Thank you so much again, my wedding day wouldn't have been as great as it was without you!

Hi Monica! I'm sorry this is so tardy, but I do want to thank you for the lovely flowers at Robin and Bill's wedding and reception. Karen really did a great thing when she referred us to Some Kinda Wonderful. Everything complemented our California wine and grape motif perfectly! The bouquets were so colorful and cheerful, and they photographed beautifully. The grapevine and tulle pew bows were just enough of a decoration for St. Bruno's, too. The way you did the wine bottle centerpieces was even better than I had hoped, and I loved the extra touch you did with tulle and flower petals on the railing at Broadlands. Everything was a WOW! I wanted to share a few pictures with you that I especially liked. We haven't gotten photos from everyone yet, but these were taken by bridesmaids and I thought they were quite beautiful. My 3-year-old grandson was particularly taken with his mom's bouquet and his own boutonniere! Thanks again for helping us have such a marvelous day! I cannot imagine anything better.

Just 5 months before my wedding I had to change florists and started working with SKW. Monica made me feel at ease and assured me that everything would be perfect for my wedding day even though we only had a few months left before the wedding. She came up with creative ideas for flowers and decorations that were still within my budget but added a lot to the overall look of the wedding. Monica knew the style I was going for after just a couple of discussions and exceeded my expectations. I received many compliments on the flowers from our guests. I also appreciated her flexibility and quick response to any questions I had since I was planning my wedding from a different city. I would definitely recommend her to any bride!

I would definitely recommend SKW to any bride!! Monica, I want you to know that I would LOVE to thank you for the beautiful flowers that help make my wedding day stunning and gorgeous! I absolutely loved, loved, my bouquet! Monica you definitely made my dream bouquet come to life. Monica offers a personal touch. My mother and I trusted her the moment we met her. Monica and her staff were top notch. They took care of all the details including making sure everyone’s flowers were in place, as well as transporting the ceremony flowers to the reception and setting everything up there. She has such a creative style and flair for elegance. I had so many compliments with not just my bouquet but my bridesmaids as well; and not to say all the bling that we had in mine.
