The Design Co - Ottawa Wedding Planning and Floral Design

Where do I even begin? Working with Stacey Price and Erin Carmichael of The Design Co. on my wedding this past fall was an absolute dream! When my husband and I first met wedding planner, Stacey Price, I knew we would be in good hands, but throughout the wedding planning process and on our wedding day itself, she proved to us that we had the best that there is on our side. Planning an out-of-town wedding and being a self-confessed “control freak”, I knew that I needed help putting all of the pieces together, but that it would be difficult to find someone that I could trust implicitly with such an important day in my life. Stacey made everything effortless! I was able to put all of my trust in her and she made even the most tedious tasks a breeze. On our wedding day, I knew she had everything taken care of, so I was able to just sit back and truly enjoy my day with my new husband and all of our family and friends! Erin Carmichael is truly a floral genius! From our initial floral consultation, she took all of my scattered ideas and inspiration and gave them a direction. I was absolutely blown away by her creative talent and how she was able to so quickly understand my style and what I wanted the overall “look” of our wedding to be. On our wedding day, all of the details were as we had discussed, but even better than I could have ever imagined! From my bouquet, to the boutonnieres, to how she transformed our reception space into a hanging garden – everything was so beautiful and so perfect! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our flowers were! She is just the best!

Stacey Price and Erin Carmichael of The Design Co. were the best decision and investment we made for my daughter’s wedding in the fall of 2015. From the moment we met with them, we knew immediately that they were the ones that we wanted to work with. My daughter had high expectations for how she wanted her wedding to be and they helped turn her vision of a perfect wedding into a reality. Her wedding truly was PERFECTION! I contribute the success of the day to their creativity, their meticulous organization, their numerous contacts in the business, and their excellent reputation with the suppliers that were required for the day. From the very beginning of the planning process, we felt completely reassured that they were on top of all the details and that they truly understood what my daughter’s vision was for her wedding day. They also made sure that her wedding was full of amazing personal touches, many of which we would have never been able to dream of executing ourselves! With respect to the day-of-coordination, they were amazing! They took care of EVERYTHING - from set up to clean up - so that we could truly relax and take in the day without worrying about any of the logistics. I would not hesitate to recommend this powerhouse team to anyone! I owe the best day of my daughter's life to them and for that, I will forever be grateful to have been able to work with Stacey and Erin!

Erin is by far the best florist in the business! She was amazingly patient as we made last minute changes and our flowers were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!! They definitely stole the show! She is insanely creative and she used only the most gorgeous flowers for everything. She even made an amazing floral collar for our Bernese Mountain Dog, Lucy! From the sweetheart table to the gunshell boutonniere, everything was perfect. But it was our gorgeous escort card display that everyone is still talking about. Erin from The Design Co turned simple cards and ribbons into a beautiful magical forest themed seating chart. The pictures just don’t do it justice! It was so close to the door so every time it would open, the ribbons and cards would just dance around the Belvédère’s beautiful chandelier. Everyone was in awe and they still are.
