Inka was very sweet and easy to work with. I told her what I was looking for and she mastered it. My flowers were beautiful and she made all of the center pieces, girls bouquets and boutineers gorgeous. Her prices were very accomadating and they delivered all items in a timely manner. Excellent all around!!

Inka was great and our flowers turned out better than I expected! She has a great sense of design and creates beautiful arrangements. Plus, she's very sweet! She dealt with me being rather indecisive and trying to change everything at the last minute and I should have just trusted her all along because I loved all of our flowers. The bouquets were gorgeous and I got so many compliments on them. The centerpieces were very fresh and fit our tables and venue perfectly. Our ceremony flowers look fantastic in all the photos. Delivery and pickup was a breeze. Highly recommended.

Inka is such a wonderful person to work with. She is not your everyday wedding vendor. She becomes more like a friend by the time everything is said and done. Her work is amazing. I did not have an image in mind for my flowers, I just told Inka that we were having a peacock themed wedding. When I received my personal flowers and the bridesmaids flowers I was blown away, and when I finally saw the reception ballroom I was in tears. The room looked amazing and the colors Inka used were perfect. I highly recommend her to everyone getting married. You will not be disappointed!! She is truly amazing. All of my guests are still commenting on the flowers!

This was a really nice service. I thought the price was a little steep initially but when I saw all of the decor on the wedding day it seemed more worth it.Would definitely recommend them to friends.

A delight to work with. Made choosing the flowers for the wedding a very easy task. We brought some ideas to the table and Inka made them a reality. Her visions are extraordinary! We had more compliments on the flowers than anything else. We also felt the prices were reasonable. Selecting Great Expectations would be a very wise choice for your flower arrangements.

Our flowers by Great Expectations by Inka was absolutely gorgeous! They literally took my breath away when I saw them! Inka went above and beyond and I got so many comments from guests on how beautiful everything looked. I literally started crying when I walked out and saw all the flowers!When we booked her, I gave her a general idea on colors and flowers that I liked and she totally ran with it and created bouquets and centerpieces that were so unique, but exactly perfect! She was able to use lace from my mom's wedding dress to tie around my bouquet, as well as make a very unique Boutonni�re (using a fish hook) for the groom - which she even tied with fishing twine to make it even better than the picture I had showed her! About 2 weeks before the wedding, we met to finalize everything and Inka had SO many great last minute ideas to add to the overall decor. She ended up making 7 wreaths which were placed around the ceremony and cocktail hour and they were beautiful! Her prices were very reasonable as well and she definitely worked within our budget. I was so happy with everything and I absolutely loved working with Inka! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

If there was one vendor that I had 100% trust and faith in: It was Inka. She had worked with one of my friends for her wedding and I knew 2 years prior to my engagement that I had to use her. She dealt with multiple multiple changes up to a week before the wedding and there was not ONE time that I was confident that she was in complete control. Our ceremony and reception was BREATHTAKING! Every single one of our guests said they felt like they were on a movie set (not to mention had to fight about who got to take the centerpieces home). Inka was lovely and a joy to work with. She is so passionate and creative and has the gift of listening 100% to your vision. She was one of my favorite parts of our wedding planning process and the best part is: She delivered beyond what I trusted she could! You will not receive better quality for the price and individuality that Great Expectations offers. We even gave her a shout out on my business blog.

Inka is absolutely fantastic! She really has a passion for her work and it shows in everything she does. I worked as a florist for many years and it was tough to put my own wedding flowers in someone else's hands but Inka immediately put me at ease. She came highly recommended from a few friends in the wedding business who had seen her work. I wanted a vintage/unique feel for my wedding- different arrangements on all tables in interesting containers. Inka exceeded my expectations! She really listened to my ideas but took her own creative liberties and the results were amazing! All of the guests were raving about the flowers and how interesting all of the arrangements were. The personals were equally as unique, well crafted and beautiful. Inka's prices are also very fair for the phenomenal work she does. I cannot thank Inka enough for helping to make the day memorable and being so easy to work with!!

Inka was wonderful! I had no idea what kinds of flowers I wanted but Inka knew exactly what would work. She presented me with a few ideas after talking to me about my style and the wedding style. I'm a little hands off so I just told her what ideas I liked and I essentially told her to do her thing. And she did not disappoint! Not only was my bouquet beautiful, but she managed to tie in the bridesmaids dresses to my dress, which was a feat and a half since the bridesmaids dresses didn't exactly match my dress.She really is amazing with flowers! She is also a lovely person which makes her really easy to work with. She works out of her home which dramatically reduces the price of the flowers because she doesn't have the overhead costs of leasing and running a shop. I did a little comparison shopping and she seemed to come in way under what other places were quoting me.I have recommended her to many of my friends and co-workers. You just cannot go wrong with Great Expectations Flowers by Inka!!! Not to be cheesy, but she should rename her company, Exceeds Your Expectations Flowers by Inka!

Inka's amazing! Believe me, for a guy who could not be bothered by flowers, I was impressed. The flowers were stunning, and Inka was terrific, flexible, professional and all around fabulous. I can't recommend Inka strongly enough.

Working with Inka was wonderfuly, particularly since I did not know exactly what I wanted - I only had colors in mind. She came up with a great vision and put it all together. My flowers were AMAZING - many guests commented they had never seen such beautiful flowers at a wedding. I cried when I saw them I was so thrilled, even my husband said he loved him - not a "flower guy" to say the least. We were married in August, a very humid and hot day. The flowers (including hydrangea which wilt easily) lasted the whole day, no wiliting, they looked perfect from start to finish, including the ceremony flowers which were placed outside. I could not have been more happy with this choice and the volume of flowers I received for the money that was spent could not be beat by other vendors. I highly recommend.

We were referred Inka by a good friend and it was a wonderful decision. I was not quite sure what I wanted in terms of flowers but gave Inka a general idea and let her go with it. I was more than impressed by the designs of the centerpieces and my bouquet was breathtaking. People still comment how lovely our flowers were. I would recommend Inka without hesitation.

Best possilble experience. She listened to everything I said, asked many questions, and suggested many things. I got exactly what I wanted and then some. She bent over backwards to make everything perfect, and it was. I counldn't have been happier.

Inka was fabulous to work with. She worked with my budget, my needs, and helped to make my wedding incredibly beautiful. It was a lot of work as I had some intricate hanging centerpieces, and some large arrangements, but she handled it all professionally and never showed signs of stress. I would highly recommend Inka to anyone...:)

Inka was soooo great to work with and I'd recommend her to anyone! She really listened to my ideas and cared about what I wanted on my wedding day. I had a flower budget and Inka did a wonderful job working around that number. All the the arrangements looked beautiful and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Inka was fantastic to work with. I had no idea what I wanted and she was really flexible and had tons of great suggestions. I was still really indecisive after several months, so I asked Inka what the typical arrangements were like in Germany (her native land), which she said were really artsy and modern. I said, "Perfect! Roll with that and my favorite flowers are orchids and lilies". Aside from telling her a color suggestion, that was the only direction I gave her. I had no idea what my flowers would look like until the wedding day. The flowers looking amazing! She read my mind- very funky, but really elegant. Inka was so pleasant despite me being a nightmare indecisive bride.

Great Expectations SURPASSED my expectations! We lived in MD but ultimately decided to have the wedding PA. They were able to accommodate our every need, deliver and setup the flowers out of state without a hitch. Inka was an absolute pleasure to work with. Designing the flowers and decor for our church ceremony was the highlight of my wedding planning. Inka is so very talented and creative. When the doors opened and I started down the isle, I was stunned. Never did I imagine the church and my wedding would be so beautifully decorated. She took my initial vision and worked with me to create a spectacular ensemble of warmth and romance... all within our budget. To this day (almost 7 years later), our friends and family still remember the flowers and decor... even new friends, perusing our wedding album, remark on the flowers. It made our wedding day that much more special.I VERY HIGHLY recommend Great Expectations Flower By Inka!
