Love Notes
Dear Magda,
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for the magnificent job you did on the flowers for my daughter’s wedding on October 10th. Each arrangement, each centerpiece, each bouquet, and the cake could have stood on its own as a work of art. So aesthetically pleasing to the eye. You took a very woodsy room with a fireplace and made it pop in fall splendor! The flowers were absolute quality; the greens quality as well. The work showed that you are at the very top of your craft. My friend pointed out how you can really think ‘out of the box’. The groom’s side was Irish and you were astute enough to add Bells of Ireland and heather to the arrangements. You are obviously the very best at what you do – you are an artist who paints with flowers. I cannot thank you enough. Sincerely,
~Sally Hoyt
I’ve always felt that flowers at a wedding say so much about a couple. They can tell a color story of personality; lend an attitude; create a chosen mood; even define the whole event. Magda Bennett insisted upon having our first meeting early on – long before any details were in place. From my scattered inspirations, she saw the exact look I wanted and helped me to see the whole picture. She left me feeling confident, with a wedding that was tangible and a task that felt finally manageable. In the months leading up to the event, Magda was always there to give advice, ask the important questions and keep me on track. When the big day arrived, I was blown away! The flowers were extraordinary – more than I had wished for. My bouquet – soft, fragrant and antique-looking, with over-sized blossoms and delicate colors to pick up those in my sash, was on my arm more than my husband that day! And the bridal party’s flowers acted as a beautiful thread, tying all of our colors together. The result was breathtaking. What I appreciated most about working with Magda was her honesty. She knows her art and the wedding business so well, she can anticipate the snags. Not only did I completely trust that her floral designs would be what I wanted, but I knew her arrangements would hold up beautifully, for she helped me make the decisions practically. Magda is the kind of person you want on your team for that most important day. She is an incredible artistic force; she’ll get her hands dirty; she’ll go the extra mile to make sure not only the flowers, but the whole event, is perfect.

Dear Magda:
I would like to thank you for the wonderful job you did for ASML’s 25th Year Anniversary Celebration at the Inn at Longshore. I wanted something fun and colorful that would leave a lasting impression on our employees. During our initial meeting, you were extremely helpful. You listened to my thoughts regarding the special look I wanted to create. Your arrangements were exquisite. Due to the fact the event was held outdoors, you were able to select flowers that would last. The arrangements filled the air with a beautiful floral scent and cast a colorful hue against the beautiful blue sky. You truly enjoy your flowers and it certainly shows in your floral presentations. Your attention to detail was evident when you continued the theme throughout the entire surrounding even into the restrooms. You are a true artist and professional. I can’t thank you enough for making our event a memorable occasion.
Sincerely
~Maureen Cantalupo & The Employee Committee
Magda Bennett is truly remarkable in her ability to reproduce exquisite representations in what you didn’t even know how to articulately put into words! Our wedding flowers were well beyond our expectations… I gave Magda a venue and color combinations and she created a floral landscape that was enhanced by the seascape and physical structure, not the other way around. Her designs and enhancements with candles, lanterns, and finishes, were the most beautiful elements at our event. We are forever grateful!

Magda turned our vision into our dream wedding! We are so grateful for the amount of time, energy, and creativity she put into making every arrangement more stunning than the next. Walking into our venue on our wedding day and seeing our floral ideas come to life left us speechless. Incredibly professional and dedicated. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful the flowers were. If we could do it all over again we wouldn’t change a thing! Magda is dedicated to making your special day more beautiful than you could ever imagine.

Magda did the flowers for my wedding and I could not have asked for more stunning arrangements. She worked with my ideas, asked for pictures of things I liked and even made sure everything would coordinate with my dress. I wanted wild flowers but she was honest and told me they would be out of season for October so we worked together to find different flowers of the fall season that would still look like wild flowers. Honestly I think it worked out even better than I imagined. My bouquet was absolutely perfect and all my center pieces had people wanting to take them home.

I had an amazing time with Magda as my wedding florist – she went above and beyond and the final result was absolute perfection! Magda was willing to go back and forth on the phone & via email to work out my vision and stay within a reasonable budget, and when I dropped off some items to her a few weeks before the wedding, she showed me tons of options from her storage so I could envision exactly what things would look like day-of. She also helped me with things like linen color and napkin color because I just don’t have an eye for those things -and everything turned out stunning! We got about a thousand compliments on the flowers and sent everyone home with a bouquet or centerpiece, everyone was thrilled! Magda made sure everything was fresh and beautiful on the wedding day, so the huge bouquet I took home lasted for about 10 days after the wedding before drooping, it was awesome. Magda also brought a team to do setup, so things were perfectly on time and ready for us when we arrived before the ceremony to do photos. I highly highly recommend Magda, she knows what she’s doing and has a great eye for design!

Magda did an amazing job with the flowers for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding! I went into our wedding with only a few pictures I liked and Magda brought it to life with stunning arrangements. We met multiple times throughout our planning and she was always thoughtful and made me feel like a special bride. (Also very accommodating of my crazy schedule!) She helped eliminate stress by coordinating with my other vendors leading up to the big day. She does beautiful work and you will not be disappointed!

As an artist with a passion for flowers, floral design was the most important element of my wedding plan. MB Floral exceeded my expectations, taking my vision (elegant farmhouse) and bringing it to the next level– with stunning blooms, heirloom flowers, rustic textures, interesting levels and touches of light that transformed the entire space. It’s hard to describe the effect, but it was breathtaking! After my wedding, I attended two other MB Floral events– one was a glittering black tie affair; the other a simple backyard “low-country" picnic. Both were perfectly designed. Both truly exceptional. What I love about Magda is her realism. She is an amazing (and experienced) artist who will work with your budget, tell you the “ins and outs" of flower market proceedings, respect your wishes, and work as hard as she can to produce arrangements that capture your essence. I trusted her completely– she was the one vendor who was absolutely on my side. I had zero worries with MB Floral– and that’s saying something.
