"Ali is a true artist! At that first consultation meeting, I told her about the color palette of the wedding day and some of my favorite flowers, and she took those ideas and ran with them.
I cannot even explain the absolute joy it was to see how she transformed the church I got married in with flowers and beautiful arrangements. Brides, I am here to say, this girl can do anything. I will forever cherish the photos of the church and the beautiful arrangements at the front. The pew decor that she re-purposed at the reception to hang in the windows, the boutonnieres for the special men and the beautiful bouquets for my girls. Many of my guests adored the floral arrangements and how they changed the space of both the church and the reception.
One detail I had kind of forgotten about until the wedding day was my bouquet! Brides, the moment I saw it for the first time was indescribable.
There is not a single photo from the day where it wasn't in my hand!
Ali is such a gem and easy to work with. I am so grateful I was able to work with her and incredibly thankful that I was able to witness her true talents and artistry on the best day of my life.
​Thank you Ali!" - Kate Gillem {2018}

"I don’t know where to start other than to say, ALI IS AMAZING, book her before it’s too late! ...I live in Seattle and reached out to Ali after exhausting my Seattle wedding florist search due to the ridiculous prices/up charges, demand and that little thing called sales tax! I’d also seen Ali’s work at one of my best friends wedding’s the year prior (I absolutely loved it! And my best friend raved about her experience with Ali) and figured - what the heck, doesn’t hurt to ask.

Well, the moment I heard back after my first email to Ali -- until the day of her setting up and finishing my flowers at our venue was nothing but magical. Ali pours her heart and soul into her job and creating a unique story and experience that is unforgettable and completely you! She devotes uninterrupted time to you the days before your wedding, she really puts 110% into her work. From our first correspondence all the way up to our wedding, she would somehow understand what I wanted and deciphered what I was saying and turned that into the most beautiful additions/pieces at our wedding! She listens, interprets, and she’s sensitive to budgets and helps you really understand what pieces have the most ‘bang’, where to put your money, what you could possibly re-purpose and what flowers/arrangement aren’t really as necessary if you’re trying to stay in a budget. Aside from all of that, I wanted peonies somehow at my mid July wedding and pretty much knew it wouldn’t be possible, YET she still made it happen and I had peonies in most of, if not all of my arrangements.

My bridal bouquet was by far the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen in my life, and it was perfect in every way!!! I just wish it would’ve stayed alive forever.

Ali worked so hard, and in very very hot heat to make our wedding so beautiful and I can say with complete confidence that I would highly recommend her for your wedding ..." -Megan Cincys {2018}
"Ali was a JOY to work with. From the moment we met her at our consultation we loved her. Flowers were a HUGE part of our wedding and reception and Ali listened to my daughters vision and made it come true. I heard from more people than I can count how beautiful everything was. From the arch, to the centerpieces and bouquets to the beautiful chandelier adorned with greens high above everyone’s heads, it was stunning! Her team that accompanied her was friendly, fun and hardworking." - Kim Larsen (Mother of the Bride) {Aug 2017}

"Ali was amazing, very profession and flexible. She helped me come up with floral arrangements that fit my vision even though I know nothing about flowers. She is great about communicating far in advance and always replies quickly to e-mails. We were blown away by her bouquets, arbor, centerpieces, etc.  All my guests raved about the flowers! It was so perfect!! Mariah {September 2016}

"Ali was fantastic! From start to finish she helped make my vision for my wedding into a reality. With several change ups along the way, she was flexible and always offered her opinion to help create the most beautiful flower arrangements. Working with Ali literally made my Pinterest page come to life! Everything from the table top flowers, to my bouquets, to the aisle petals...everything was beautiful and exactly as I thought it would be! Thank you so much for being a part of my special day and for making all of my flower dreams come true!" -Laura  {July 2016}
"Ali is incredible! I had checked out two other florists before I found her. By the time I met with her, gave her my ideas and I received a quote, the other two florists hadn't even responded to my first requests . . . I showed her my Pinterest board and that's all she needed. She knew exactly what we were looking for and she truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend her!"

"Ali was so amazing to work with!  She somehow took exactly what was in my head and made it a reality and then some. Creative, talented, inspiring, professional, fun, kind. My husband and I feel so lucky to have worked with Ali and our wedding was beautiful because of her!" Linsey Sumners {Summer 2016}
"Ali was incredibly helpful right off the bat. We e-mailed a few times about budget and she made multiple proposals for me until she was able to fit my budget. We did some DIY to get everything as cost effective as possible and she showed up early to show us how to do our own bouquets and center pieces. She set up some flowers and greenery on the arbor herself, and it was GORGEOUS. I got a ton of compliments on the flowers and they lasted for days after the wedding." - Elizabeth Wormley {August 2016}

"Ali is amazing. She has done floral arrangements for two different family weddings, each being truly unique and perfect for the event, venue and the couple getting married." - Diane {2017}
"Ali did an amazing job on our floral arrangements/centerpieces and was very flexible when I needed to change something. I gave her some ideas of what I liked, and she worked her magic. We received many compliments on the bouquets. If we had to do it over, we'd definitely go with Ali again!"
​ -Jessica Lagattuta {October 2015}
"Ali is amazing!! The first time I met up with her she had already looked at my ideas and had a whole proposal ready to go that was exactly what I wanted and was so responsive to my ideas and crazy bride brain, she always got back to me right away and is the kindest person you will ever meet. Her flower arrangements were absolutely stunning and were my favorite part of my day! My bouquet was beyond what I imagined and everything was perfect! I would recommend her a thousand times over!" -Corrin Tibbits {September 2016}
​"Ali is absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment I met her, I knew she was the sweetest person and her work illustrates the amazing floral designs she creates! I was sure I wanted her to do the flowers for my August wedding then and there. She is super reasonable and really wants to make sure the bride is happy (which I DEFINITELY was). Even the proposal she gave us was beautiful! The bouquets, centerpieces, and flowers for the aisle were breathtaking! My family literally argued over who got to take what home at the end of the day! She got my pastel vision so so well, and she even put up with me changing something the week of the wedding! She is just beyond sweet, talented, and thoughtful. I can't recommend her enough!"
​-Sloan Kyniv {August 2015}
"I can't even begin to explain how wonderful Ali is to work with. And not only that, but everything was perfect. I threw a number of pictures at her with what I did and didn't want for the bouquet and she translated it perfectly. The succulents she chose to put in my hair were the perfect size. She also worked with me on my budget and made sure that we would still be able to achieve what I had pictured on my budget. Beautiful. If you're looking for someone who will talk with you through her process and keep you updated on her ideas and plans for your wedding, Ali is who you should go to."
​ - Megan Williams {August 2015}
"From the very first meeting with Ali, I knew she was the one I wanted to work with for my daughter's wedding. In fact, I stopped looking after that initial meeting! She was wonderful to work with and helped us stay within our budget. I didn't feel pressure to spend more. She was even helpful with suggestions about other aspects of the wedding, such as when to throw the lavender petals to who really needed a boutonniere or corsage. I was so happy with all of the flowers she provided. Truly amazing work! When we arrived at the venue, I had the pleasure to watch her in action. She was so calm and upbeat, on what can be a stressful day. everything was under control and going so smoothly. She is so easy to work with and will make your special day amazing. I can't imagine working with any one else!" - Ann Blythe {Mother of the Bride}

"I can't rave enough about Ali! After searching for months for the perfect florist for my wedding and interviewing over 5 florists it was a breath of fresh air to find Ali! She is professional, fun and positive to work with, and willing to incorporate all of your wants/needs into the perfect floral design for your wedding. Ali is easy to get a hold of, reliable, and so great to work with every step of the way. She always listened to my wants/needs and when my wedding day arrived I was not disappointed. She delivered in every way! My flowers were absolutely stunning! My guests are still contacting me one month later asking who created the flowers for my wedding. The flowers were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. She went above and beyond to meet my exact vision! I will be recommending Ali to all of my friends for their weddings!" -Katie Larson {July 2015}

"Ali's work is absolutely incredible and so unique! From start to finish working with her was fun and easy. She put together an amazing preview / idea board of flowers and delivered above and beyond what I had envisioned. She was so easy to talk to and share ideas with and that mixed with her incredible eye for design and color made our flowers absolutely pop! My bouquet was incredible and had just the right balance that I had asked for-between romantic, rustic, and natural. I'd definitely recommend Ali's work to anyone who is interested in having something a little extra special for their flowers and something totally original."
​- Chrysanthemum Hayes {December 2014}
"I can't rave enough about Ali. Growing up I did not think I would care much about flowers at my wedding but as the date got closer and I pinned away on Pinterest I knew that I wanted beautiful white flowers all over my wedding. Ali took my ideas and suggested even more to create the perfect look. When I showed her the "Mr. & Mrs." chairs that I had made she suggested creating these beautiful sprays of flowers that I think added so much to our sweetheart table. Ali put so much time and love into my wedding, including traveling from Oregon to Arizona and figuring out where to purchase flowers here. I am sure she put more work in than I even know about. I cannot thank her enough. My flowers looked even better than any of the ideas I got from Pinterest!" - Sami Sorber { November 2014}
​"Ali helped save the day when our room wasn't ready, giving us less time to assemble flowers. I had ordered (them in bulk to DIY) to save some $, and she graciously helped out. I got the look I was going for . . . and our flowers lasted all through the wedding weekend. They looked so good on Sunday that we even dropped them off at a nursing home to hand out to the residents."
​ -Rosalinda Flores Tollefson {March 2015}
"Probably like the brides reading this, I didn't know where to start looking for a florist, but the florists that popped up after a Google search were less than exciting. The stale photos, awful website, nothing personalized... yuck. I searched Facebook for florists in Salem and the first thing I noticed was Ali's pictures of bouquets from real weddings! The bouquets looked so fresh and carefully put together, I decided to meet with Ali, and I'm so glad I did because I was instantly excited about working with her! I sincerely LOVED working with Ali! I gave her my very amateur idea of what I thought looked pretty, and she turned it into something even more gorgeous than I could have dreamed. Everything from the bouquets, to the centerpieces and the gazebo was even more gorgeous than everything I found on pinterest. She was SUCH a joy to work with, too! After our first meeting and told my mom, "I am REALLY excited about our florist!" She's really enthusiastic about making my wedding everything I ever wanted, and when I wanted to change something 10 days beforehand, she was perfectly accommodating. Ah! I can't say enough wonderful things about her! Thank you, Ali!!" - Rebecca Rohleder {July 2014}
"Ali went above and beyond for our wedding day! I was floored when I saw our beautiful flower arrangements! She put so much detail into all of our bouquets and boutonnieres. She did such an amazing job and I could not have been any happier! Everybody raves about the flowers that we had! She is not just talented but has a huge heart and really wants to make your day as beautiful as possible! I will recommend Ali to everyone! LOVE HER!" -Kellie Sutton {July 2014}
"Ali Briskey Designs was wonderful to work with. Her flower arrangements were both whimsical and timeless. Not only was my bouquet exquisite, the flowers were fresh and smelled amazing. Thank you for making my wedding dreams become a reality. Ali is highly talented. I would recommend her to anyone!"
​-Melissa Hausmann {January 2014}
​"Ali is a great designer! I've known that for years now, which made it all the better when she agreed to do my wedding flowers. They were GORGEOUS!" 
- Brittany Trentin {September 2014}
"Ali was absolutely amazing - I can't recommend her enough! We planned a bouquet-making party with all my bridesmaids so she could teach the girls how to arrange their own flowers - it was so much fun! She made my bouquet and I teared up when I saw it, it was so perfect. She had great ideas on what flowers to pick -- especially ones that wouldn't wilt in the hot sun [it was 90 degrees that day and we had an outdoor wedding]. She is so talented with flowers and made my vision come to life!"
​- Jess Rigling {June 2012}
"Ali did an amazing job on the flowers for my wedding! We held a flower "party" in which Ali taught my mother, MIL, and bridesmaids how to create the centerpieces for my wedding, which was incredible to be able to be involved in the process. Ali then made my bouquet, and boutonnieres which were gorgeous. Thank you Ali, you helped make my wedding a wonderful day!"
