My wife and I planned somewhat poorly when we decided to elope to Colorado Springs and completely overlooked getting flowers ordered. We were embarrassed to ask flower places for same day bouquet but my wife really wanted to have them. When we walked in to Design Works A Floral Studio we were promptly greeted and helped. We told the ladies our situation and they were completely willing to help us out. It is simply amazing that they were able to get us a bouquet and boutonnire in a matter of hours. Better yet, they were kind and courteous and didnt pass judgement on our poor planning. Overall

As a wedding florist myself, I was very particular about who I chose for my daughter's destination wedding at The Garden of The Gods Resort. After interviewing several florists and critiquing their work I chose DesignWorks-and they exceeded my expectations in every way! Very friendly and easy to work with, knew just the look we wanted, delivered on time, and went above and beyond in what they provided us. Their work is top notch -the bridal bouquet and floral crown were sheer perfection. The boutonnire and corsages as well. Ellena worked with me on table arrangements and let me ship my containers

I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my Mom's 78th birthday one week ago today. They were delivered the same. They were beautiful, however, they last one week. I buy flowers at King Soopers for myself that last longer; 1-2 weeks sometimes. I am beyond disappointed. This was my first time ordering from DW; previously I always ordered through Rich Designs, however, they no longer do florals & they recommended DW. Completely and utterly dissatisfied. Won't use them again!

I contacted Design Works on short notice to order flowers for a small wedding. I was impressed by the attentiveness and responsiveness of the design professionals (which far exceeded the way in which my similar requests were treated by several other florists) .I provided descriptions of some of my flower/color preferences, a general impression I hoped to achieve and a photo of my dress. On the day of the wedding, I was astonished by the breathtaking and stunning bouquet that Design Works had created and in what an utterly lovely manner they had translated my descriptions into floral magic.
