Tyler’s Custom Design

Tyler Custom Designs was amazing! My wedding turned out so beautiful. Karen and her staff were so easy to work with and prices were very reasonable. I couldnt do it without her. I will defintley be using her for my next event!

Incredibly disappointing! I think that this was the worst decision I made for our wedding. She didn’t provide enough flowers and yet her quote increased at the wedding, and though the ballroom looked nice, the rest of the ceremony and event looked cheap and/​or empty and/​or full of glitches (thing falling apart, things left fallen by the alter. etc). She’s nice but for the price we paid, we were so disappointed. I’ve just spent a lot of time in the floral industry lately and realize now how much beauty and care could have gone into this event but didnt. For what we paid, I’ve seen stunning weddings with lush florals and it saddens me when I think about what we got. Honestly, three years later, I still feel disappointed in the wedding flowers she provided. I would not recommend her.

Karen Tyler at Tyler’s Custom Designs is a gem! She is creative, helpful and very responsive. Always willing to go that extra mile in making me feel at ease for my special event. She can work with any budget and often suggests creative ways to still get the same look for a better price, which for us, was just what we were looking for. Her work rivals the best of Scottsdale’s and in my opinion, is better! Visit with her and you will see what I mean, you will book her on the spot and trust me, you won’t regret it!

Where do I begin …
A couple months before our wedding, we hit a few roadblocks and realized that we needed some additional support to pull off our wedding (to put it lightly).
Karen and her daughter Brenda are amazing. They are honest, patient, detail oriented, friendly, genuine and professional.
From the beginning, Karen sat was willing to sit with me to discuss every detail of our wedding design. She brought a lot of experience and helped us identify any potential issues we had in our plans. She came to the rescue for our rehearsal dinner and reception.
Our florist is closed on Saturdays and had to deliver our reception flowers on Friday night. The venue didn’t have storage for them so we had to get a room at the hotel to store over night. Not only did Brenda coordinate the delivery of the flowers, but she showed up at the time of delivery to ensure that they were safe, came back in the evening to check on them and showed up bright and early the morning of the wedding to check on them yet again. On the day of the wedding, they carefully moved the flower arrangements from the hotel room to the ballroom and set up our tables. Then after the wedding, her staff broke down the décor and returned the rented vases to the florist the following day. They even helped us to put the final touches on a couple of our designs. They can do it all and execute with extreme care and professionalism.
Everything turned out exactly as we’d discussed. It couldn’t have been more perfect and we owe so much of the success of our events to both Karen and Brenda. If I ever have another event in the Phoenix area, or if anyone needs a recommendation … I am sending them straight to Karen.
If you give them a chance, I know you’ll feel the same!
Me and my husband will never forget everything that they did to make our day special!

Karen Tyler is a diamond in the rough. she is genuine, helpful and stays within your budget. No is not a word in her vocabulary she goes above and beyond to be helpful and when you see the finished product you are totally in awe .
Karen comes highly recommended for any occasion. KAREN went above and beyond to locate and purchase a specialty item.
She was punctual and came equipped with a whole team who were very efficient.
set up and tear down went smooth and quick. and stress free.

We worked with the owner Karen, for our wedding last weekend. She was immensely helpful with all the planning, décor and set up– along the entire process. I’d definitely recommend her business to anyone needing décor assistance for planning an event. She doesn’t have a minimum price or limited location like a lot of other companies. And her prices are unbeatable!!!

I found Karen on Unilocal and Wedding Wire. The price was awesome, flowers were gorgeous and Mandap was Amazing. Karen was creative and responsive to my requests. Score one for style and my budget. Even my wedding planner was impressed.

Karen did the flowers, center pieces, chair rentals, and sashes for my wedding. We actually paid for fake flowers for our centerpieces and Karen ended up receiving extra of the flowers for my bouquets and she ended up making all my centerpieces out of those extra flowers at no additonal charge. Karen was super easy to work and very affordable. Her staff showed up exactly on time for delivery too. Overall great experience

We worked with Karen for the decorations and rentals for our wedding. Our ballroom for our dinner was not going to be available until during the ceremony, so I needed to hire someone to place my decorations and centerpieces while I was getting married. We met with Karen and discussed our preferences. She was very friendly and asked a lot of questions to clarify our vision for our decorations. Her office/​store was pretty disorganized, and I found it easier to contact her via phone, rather than by email. On the wedding day, Karen constructed and decorated our chuppah and placed our centerpieces on our dinner tables, in addition to providing the table linens. The chuppah was beautiful, and our centerpieces were exactly as I had communicated to her. The only small negative thing was that we requested and paid for a unity candle holder for our ceremony. I didn’t realize it hadn’t been provided or placed until just before the ceremony, so our taper candles had to be laid down. Overall, I had a good experience working with Karen.

watch out for this one…
Karen Tyler hooks you in with her sarcasm, by working with you, adding creative input, understanding every detail, jotting down notes and sketches, and giving you a great price. and then NOT delivering.
We had a wedding recently, and were pretty disappointed when many details were not what we had been discussing with Karen for hours and hours and months ahead of time! She showed up 3 hours later than the time she had repeatedly requested that things be ready on our end for her to start. The centerpieces had about half the flowers we specified on the contract. The bouquets were nice but very small. Certain details were missing, some were just… different. For example, some urns we had specifically picked out in her store were replaced by little pots covered in fabric.
The week of the wedding, she finds out that she can’t order the flowers we requested as there aren’t that many in stock— Also some flowers don’t come in the color we decided on with her, so she changed the order. Shouldn’t she have checked months ago when we decided?!?
The estimates on price we had gone over for months in advance changed drastically the week before the wedding. Fine, she didn’t include a few things in the estimate, BUT when it’s a $ 600 increase… it kind of defeats the purpose of an estimate!
Oh yeah, and the mandap (like a four-​posted canopy/​gazebo under which we have the actual ceremony) that she set up FELL DOWN! Karen later claimed that it only «lifted» and she can’t account for wind. We had a clear view from the changing room, and some of our guests even took pictures of this disaster. Luckily, our hotel’s coordinator got it back up and screwed in and secured, something that should have been done from the beginning (maybe if she’d come on time?). Also luckily, our priest was late so there was noone and no fire under the mandap when it fell. She didn’t fix the draping (which also wasn’t like any of the sketches or notes she had put in the contract) after it was back up, so there’s a lovely pole showing in all the wedding photos too. RIDICULOUS!
In the end, some things were great. but the stress of all this change and all the mess ups on the wedding day is not something worth enduring.
