HeatherLily | Wedding Planner & Floral Designer

Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to the HeatherLily team for an incredible experience! Their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail made every step of the process enjoyable. As wedding videographers, we love working with a team that creates such a seamless environment, allowing us to capture our clients’ events even more beautifully. Collaborating with Stephanie, the rest of the HeatherLily team, and their carefully curated vendors was an absolute delight. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: That’s definitely frustrating — especially if you only need a few select pieces. A flat $10,000 minimum with no à la carte or scaled-down options really limits accessibility. It makes sense if they only want to take on full-service, large-scale events, but it’s not reasonable for everyone.

Fantastic experience: As a mother of the bride, I simply cannot state how much I appreciated and truly enjoyed working with Stephanie Anter to plan and coordinate my daughter’s wedding- so much so, that when it was time for my second daughter’s wedding, one of the first people that I called was Stephanie! Stephanie is knowledgeable, organized, and possesses the wonderful ability to be very detail oriented without losing sight of the big picture. She kept us on track and focused, having us make decisions when we needed to in an informed and timely fashion. She was able to take each of my daughter’s visions (one a springtime black tie wedding and the other a summer garden themed wedding) and transform them into their perfect wedding days. My husband and I had complete confidence in Stephanie and as a result we were able to relax and enjoy these wonderful events. Stephanie is as delightful to work with as she is competent with every detail and I would whole heartedly recommend her without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Working with Stephanie was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she brought a calm, confident energy that made us feel completely taken care of. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but with Stephanie by our side, it was actually fun and stress-free! She understood our vision from the start and somehow made it even better than we imagined. Every detail—timeline, décor, vendor coordination, and all the little surprises in between—was flawless. On the big day, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because we knew Stephanie had everything under control. Stephanie is organized, creative, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your planner, your wedding will be in the very best hands. We’re beyond grateful for her and will never forget everything she did to make our day absolutely perfect.

Fantastic experience: Working with Stephanie to plan our wedding was the best decision we could have made! It’s difficult to know where to begin with describing how wonderful she was to work with. Stephanie made the planning experience seamless. From the moment we began working with her, everything was clear, organized and so exciting. Stephanie’s creativity and professionalism transformed our vision into our dream wedding day. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, handled every logistical detail with care, and was always a step ahead. The planning process and wedding day itself would not have been as smooth, meaningful and beautiful without her! If you want a flawless, stress free and calm wedding planning experience, look no further!!!

Fantastic experience: Stephanie is an incredible wedding planner! She truly understood our vision and enhanced it with thoughtful recommendations. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day without a single worry - from start to finish, everything was seamless.

Fantastic experience: Heather was our wedding planner (and florist) and she knocked it out of the park. I’ve never seen a wedding as spectacular as mine, even in movies or magazines…. I pinch myself every time I see the photos—it was just unreal. Heather had innovative ideas I would have never considered—there is no other event planner in the world who could possibly be as detail-oriented as Heather and her team. It was beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: Heather is a visionary! Spectacular work on my dream New Year's Eve wedding on a cold night in Cleveland. Hope to work together again with Heather and the full team for future events, large and small!

Fantastic experience: From start to finish, our experience with HeatherLily was fantastic! Heather and Helen were a pleasure to work with on our daughter's wedding. They listened so well to our vision and the end product was perfection! We appreciated their attention to every detail. They are creative, professional and a talented team of florists and designers. We are so grateful they were part of our family's special day!

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of working with HeatherLily on not just one, but two very memorable occasions - my sister’s wedding on NYE 2017 and my own wedding in October 2021. I cannot imagine either experience without her thought leadership, planning expertise, keen eye for design, and ability to make dreams come to life! From the most intricate of details to big picture execution, she brings with her an amazing team of professionals, as well as top tier vendors, and you can rest assured that everything will be as you envisioned it for your special occasion. Outside of carrying herself with the utmost professionalism, she is honest with feedback, prompt with communications and actions, and her floral skills are unparalleled. I’ve included pictures from our wedding, where she took Palm Springs, CA and brought the vibe, colors, and overall aesthetic to Cleveland, OH - if only she could’ve gotten the sun to come too

Fantastic experience: I had the absolute BEST wedding experience with the amazing team at HeatherLily including the visionary Heather Thomas. I love flowers and knew I wanted stunning florals and Heather listened to my vision, my likes and dislikes, and put it into action with a fantasyland of gorgeous color for our wedding. She was very receptive to my thoughts and even as my vision changed slightly during our postponement due to the pandemic, she pivoted effortlessly to produce a magical event. I was in love with the final product! People still tell me that our wedding florals were the most beautiful they have ever seen! A 5 star experience that I would recommend to any bride or to those planning stunning events!

Fantastic experience: Long story short, I got engaged in November 2019. My mom has used Heather for years before but she knew Heather would not disappoint. I am, to put it lightly, an aggressive planner and knew exactly want I wanted for my wedding. Meeting with Heather was like talking to a friend who has known me for years. She knew exactly the aesthetic and vibe I was looking for. Not only did she understand she was able to connect me with vendors to help make my vision come to life. As the wedding got closer, hard decisions needed to be made, COVID did not improve as many hoped, my 180-people backyard tent wedding, overnight became 20 with 30 days until my wedding. Heather and her team worked with me to still give me my dream wedding but on a smaller scale. Words cannot explain how nervous I was for her team to adjust all the planning and still give me the look I wanted on a much cut budget. SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I recommend Heather Lily and her team to anyone and everyone who wants a worry-free event! She will bring your dream event to life!

Fantastic experience: Heather (and her team) are truly amazing. Not only can she transform any event into a fairytale, she’s also one of the kindest, most personable designers I know. I highly recommend Heatherlily!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. She was relatively new to the business when she did my sisters wedding and all of the guests still talk about her work 10 years later! I knew from that day on that I would have her be my floral designer when I got married. She was literally the first thing I booked after getting engaged! She was so patient, creative, and took ideas that I had in my head turning them into reality. People have described her work at my wedding as “breathtaking” and that she completely transformed the hall space. It’s almost been one year and that is one of the first things people will say to me when I see them! Something I have always wanted was to be able to share my flowers with others after the reception, and Heather was kind enough to have them delivered to Cleveland clinic foundation, hospice patients, and women’s shelters! Thank you Heather and team!

Fantastic experience: Extraordinary floral and event designer. Makes every event she does look stunning!

Fantastic experience: My fiancé (now husband) and I were referred to Heather Lily by a friend, and we are so happy we chose Heather Lily as our florist. On the day of our wedding, Heather Lily came to our church to drop off the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. Heather Lily also gave our flower girls real rose petals to toss down the aisle during the ceremony. The Heather Lily staff pinned the boutonnieres on the guys, and they stayed until the ceremony started. They even helped me with the train of my dress just before I walked down the aisle. Heather Lily certainly goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. For our reception, Heather Lily designed all the floral arrangements, setup our centerpieces, decorated our cake with real rose petals and provided linens for all the tables, including the head table, gift and cake tables. Heather Lily’s attention to detail is impeccable. To be perfectly honest, I cried when I walked into our reception because I was so overwhelmed with how beautiful it was. I could not have imagined anything better. Heather Lily completely exceeded our expectations. So many of our guests complimented the floral arrangements and how beautiful they were. Our reception hall Director even asked if she could take pictures of the centerpieces to post on their website. Every centerpiece, boutonniere, corsage and bouquet was flawless. I would recommend Heather Lily without any hesitation. It was such a relief to be able to trust Heather Lily to create a beautiful ceremony, reception, and an experience we will never forget.

Fantastic experience: I gave a very vague idea of what I wanted for our wedding and HeatherLily was able to take what I said and transform it into everything I never knew I always wanted. Beautiful. Elegant. Perfect. Our guests are still talking about the flowers and arrangements.
