Still in awe of the beauty that Willow and Star pulled together as my wedding florist. Walking into my wedding venue truly brought the entire vision to life and such a special moment! Allyson was so great to work with from planning calls to day-of delivery. So special to have local flowers incorporated and bouquets/boutonnieres wrapped with extra bridal/bridesmaid dress fabric. Beautiful and unique arrangements all around. Could not recommend enough!!!

Allyson is the BEST and completely transformed our wedding day into the vision of my dreams. She took my imaginative ideas and brought them to life. Her attention to detail and creativity is impeccably stunning. She was also so incredibly kind and amazing to work with. I could not recommend Willow & Star any higher. :)

I don’t know where to start!! I have ordered and received flowers from Allyson & they are always more than perfect. She responds quickly, is super friendly & has an amazing eye for the most beautiful flowers! I… have found that her flowers are more unique, look amazing & last so much longer. I will always order from her going forward. Stop buying flowers from those random online flower companies & shop local!! You’ll be so glad that you did! Oh and she adds a card that lists all of the flowers in your arrangement. I love this as I often find myself curious as

Allyson’s beauty and grace shows in her work. When I walked into our sons venue and saw flowers, it took my breath away. She’s great to work with and has a great understanding of what you are wanting. She delivers more than you can envision.
