Dear Dana,
I wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you did with my flowers for my June 29th wedding. They were the most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen, they we're perfect. I don't think any bride has ever had a more beautiful bouquet. I can't express enough, my gratitude for how beautiful everything turned out.
Sincerely,

Hi Dana-
I'm back from my honeymoon and I can't tell you how beautiful our flowers were. We have received phone calls from people telling us how stunning they were at the reception. I had to give you praise again b/c I have to say they were stunning and made our reception so elegant. The punch bowl ring was breath taking; you do amazing work. I still have my rose bowls, they were so gorgeous!! The tulips were pretty and the spring arrangement was WOW!! You left myself and everyone attending absolutely speechless: at the end of the reception, I let everyone know where my flowers we done b/c so many people were asking. You will have every referral from me forever: including my business for every occasion going forward: thanks again!!
Thank you,

To Dana-
Thank you for the beautiful purple-blue hydrangea, and white & lavender rose bouquets, corsages, & boutonniers that you created for our wedding. I can easily say that one of the happiest moments of the wedding day was when my mom walked in with my and my bridesmaids' bouquets... I was speechless. This was one of the few wedding details that until that moment had just been a vision in my mind. They were beautiful. Thank you for turning my wedding flower dream into a picture perfect reality!

Dana,
WOW!!! Words can't express how awesome our flowers were and what a great job you all did with them....from my bouquet to the cake flowers and the arrangements. They were all amazing!!! I didn't even know what kind of flowers I wanted, but I gave you the colors and you took it from there. You obviously knew exactly what I wanted and what I was thinking. They were certainly what everyone else remembered because I hear about them everyday. Thank you all again so much!!!
Also, thanks to your referral (on freeze drying - Dana) I was able to keep them around to have an everyday glimpse and remembrance of them.

Dana,
MY FLOWERS WERE GORGEOUS!! I cannot tell you how many compliments I had on my bouquet. I was very glad you encouraged me to go with color rather than the white. I also appreciate the fact you worked with my "Teacher Budget" and helped me have a beautiful reception & wedding without spending my life savings! I was disappointed that I did not get to enjoy my bouquet more. My photographer took a picture of the bouquet itself, and I turned the picture into a mousepad so I can enjoy my bouquet everyday!
I also informed my husband if he ever orders flowers for me he is to go through you!!! Thanks for all you do!

I fell upon this blog by chance while looking for other people's wedding blog. My wedding is taking place in Paris soon and we have rent a specially-designed boat for the evening. It's anchored along the seine with view on the Eiffel tower on the side. I can't wait for the D day...

Dana Nigro and Village Gardens are the BEST when it comes to flowers and the service, concern, compassion is second to none.
My family, guest and co-workers are still talking about my wedding flowers (April 21, 2007) and I admire them everyday as I look at our wedding photos in my office.
I'm getting ready to order flowers for a few for Mother's Day and I know that these people will receive the most fragrant and beautiful arrangements KC has to offer.
Dana, you and Village Gardens ROCK!!!!

We felt as if we were going to drive Dana crazy but she was wonderful! We could not have had a better florist. Everything was beautiful. Everytime we met with her she would take our ideas and make them into reality. We really appreciate all of your staff and yourself for all that you did to make Danielle and Josh's day perfect.

Dana, I wanted to say in writing how much we appreciated the
exquisite floral arrangements that your designers created for Ashley &
Matt's wedding day. From the table arrangements to the bridal bouquet to
the corsages, every one was amazingly beautiful. We also appreciated your
attention to detail and your willingness to listen and offer many options
throughout the planning phase. Your patience was unending. I will recommend
you and Village Gardens to anyone who is planning a wedding and wants the
flowers to be unique, exceptional, and affordable. Thanks so much!

Wedding June 21, 2008.
Thank you! Words cannot express my gratitude to Dana and her staff. Everything was simply fabulous! I received so many compliments on all the flowers, centerpieces and reception decorations. My bouquet was sooo beautiful!
I was a bridezilla about my wedding and believe me, I shopped around for a good florist. So for all you soon to be brides, trust me when I say, “Dana is the best florist in Kansas City!” You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks again, Dana!

Lastly, the photographers have put some of the 200 pictures on the website and I'd like you to see them. Of course, remember that I was in the hospital 3 weeks before my wedding and on bed rest up until 4 days before. THANK GOD that I'd done all the major things months in advance..and people say I'm too anal. Well, I'm glad I looked as good as I did and boy it was GREAT marrying the LOVE of MY life!!

Hello Dana!
I am forwarding this on to Misty for her comments back to you but as for me...I was very pleased with the flowers and your artistic designs! The colors were perfect and the starfish in the vases was such a nice touch along with the veined leaf. Her cake was beautiful and your flowers really enhanced that as well! Thank you Dana for your professionalism and for us not having to worry about one more thing during the reception.
Kind regards,
Gale D. Fisher

Hi Dana,
Apparently my wonderful fiance called you guys and had you make me an arrangement for me for our anniversary that looks like the wedding flowers. They are just beautiful!! I can't wait to see the flowers for the wedding! I think they are going to be my favorite thing. I just wanted to let you know that whoever did them did a great job (and certainly helped him score some bonus points!) They're gorgeous! I'll check in with you sometime again soon. Thank you very much!!!

Dana,
EVERYTHING was BEAUTIFUL!!! I had several people ask me who did the flowers. I told them I did. I hope that doesn't bother you. No, actually, I told them "Oh the Village people-or something like that." Okay, you know I told them Village Gardens/Dana Nigro-" ..they are the people you should always call; Dana Nigro does fantastic work!
I can't wait to see the pictures and I'll send some to you when I get them and maybe you can use one of them as a sample for people to see your beautiful work.
Your delivery person/woman was wonderful and was so helpful. I know they had a heck of a time with traffic with a festival that we knew nothing about. we didn't get the bows on the pews and I didn't even remember it until
yesterday late! Please don't tell this to the person who most probably frantically made the bows at the last minute. I'm afraid what their reaction might be. Dear God I hope it wasn't you. But, think on the bright side: At this point I believe there are probably some homeless people wearing bows on their backpacks because we had put them just at the side of the Cathedral entrance. Think of how happy that may have made some people, to wear a big bow- just for a day! Either that or perhaps there are white bows on every door in the neighborhood! The thing is we shouldn't have even worried about them (someday I'm going to learn not to stress on the details). Everything was so beautiful and the reception was breathtaking! The flowers made the event!
Thank you, Dana, for everything. I wish I could work for you.

Hi Dana,
I just wanted you to know that the flowers looked amazing at the wedding!!! They had to be my favorite part of the whole day. The only problem was about half of the battery operated candles didn't work, but it was still pretty. I didn't know if you still owed me some money, since I took off a few things before the wedding. I know you are in your busy season, so just whenever you can get back to me.
Thanks,
Teri Lambert
