Ally did an absolutely beautiful arrangement for a friend's birthday on very short notice. She listened thoughtfully to what I needed, made great suggestions, and went above and beyond to coordinate with her buyer and provide the perfect basket at a price within my budget. It was delivered within five hours of my call -- and she even sent me a picture of what she put together! So impressed. Highly recommend!

I am reviewing Plateau Florist after working with Ally for 2 different weddings - my own in 2012, and my sister's which was just last night. We had somewhat different experiences so I will write about both! If I were to rate just my 2012 experience, I would give Ally 5 stars. I got the recommendation from my friend after she had Ally do her wedding flowers (they were gorgeous). I went somewhat simple on the flowers, but I loved every part of what she created. We met twice before the wedding and I absolutely loved our bouquets. Everything looked exactly like we had discussed at our pre-wedding meetings. Ally arrived right on time, set everything up, and was easy to work with! I was extremely satisfied. Obviously, when it came time for my sister to plan her wedding, she wanted to work with Ally based on my great experience. They set up an initial appointment, but when they arrived Ally was not there. She completely forgot about the appointment. And then when they met a second time, she had another bride's file open and did not have a clue who she was talking to. After a few minutes of confusion they got her correct file open instead. The contract for the flowers did not come until the Thursday prior to the Saturday wedding (that would've made me panic). Finally, the flowers that showed up to my sister's wedding did not match what they thought they were ordering. My sister wanted big white roses in her bouquet. She said maybe a few "blush" colors could be pretty if she could find them, but mostly she wanted white. Her bouquet came half cream and half pink...pink was not one of the colors of the wedding. The bridesmaids bouquets looked great but I don't know if they matched what they ordered or not. The only other floral piece they ordered was a large garland that was to drape over a piano that is a permanent fixture on the stage in the venue. They decided on white roses, and the cost was pretty steep for the piece. What arrived was a green garland with some bunches of purple roses stuck in. It wasn't what was ordered ahead of time. In all, everything looked beautiful, but it is disappointing to receive something different than what was decided upon beforehand at the two appointments. In addition, Ally seemed put out to be there and left quickly (maybe she heard my mom mentioning the addition of pink into my sister's bouquet?). So with a 5 star rating from me, and a 2 star rating for my sister, Plateau Florist averages out to 3.5 stars from us. I would give her another chance, but I would have everything in writing ahead of time to be sure to get what you think you are ordering. I felt bad that my sister did not have the wonderful experience that I had!

I had a good experience working with Ally for my 2007 wedding. My flowers were one of my top priorities, and I over-did it a little with my expectations. She was very accomodating and responsive to my requests. We had 2 planning sessons, and to be honest, I needed a few more. Pros: She was professional, budget-friendly, and created beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. She arrived on time, and brought helpers to help set up and pin boutinneirs on the fellas. Huge pro: We definitely threw a kink in the floral planning and Ally was instrumental in bailing us out at the last minute. I had planned to use potted plants as wedding favors, one pot per couple. They were also doubling as decoration for the table. After my mom and I realized that growing the plants from seed, transporting them to the reception, etc was going to be too difficult, I hired Ally to make me 200 hand-tied mini rose bundles to place into the pots. The bundles were not the color I expected (off white roses), but they were a huge undertaking and she definitely did a great job of making a relatively last minute fiasco into a lower stress experience. Cons: My arrangements were a bit of a surprise. The men had very normal salmon-pink boutinniers, when I expected that they would be more of a deep fuschia/magenta/poppy darker pink, almost red, color. I had brought her lots of magazine pictures of what I liked and my general style, and unfortunately my flowers really did not look anything like what I had imagined. My sister's MOH bouquet was actually the most beautiful in our group, and I wish I had swapped with her before the ceremony. The centerpieces were a bit too small, which was my fault because I had cut them down to make them less expensive. Aside from some of the bouquet/centerpiece surprises, she did do an incredible job and I would recommend her. I blame myself for not clarifying more exactly what I wanted since it was clearly pretty important to me. If I were going to be a bridezilla about anything, it was going to be the flowers!

Plateau Florist is no longer at the Issaquah location. It has moved to Bellevue, but I wanted to write a review anyway. My fiance and I are working with Ally to help us plan our wedding in Seattle (Lake Union Crew) this December. I'm so glad we found Ally!! She is so wonderful and easy to work with. She's positively creative, professional and a great listener. She's the perfect balance of someone who knows how to provide just the right insight and suggestions and someone who really incorporates what the couple wants. I'm so excited for our wedding, and it's going to be fabulous! Also, her prices for the detailed and complete service that she offers are unbeatable.
