Interior Design & Decoration Testimonials
"I was referred to Ashly by a friend who has been working with her. I love what Ashly has done in my friend's home and was extremely excited about the possibilities for my home. I knew I wanted to change my living room, dining room, and great room from dull and drab but I wasn't sure how to go about doing this. Ashly listened to my concerns, my likes and dislikes, and she created a brand new design for these spaces. We installed beautiful built-in cabinetry in our great room along with new furniture, gorgeous new window treatments, and new colors in our living and dining rooms. Ashly was able to translate my desires into a stunning vision for our home full of exciting colors and textures. She achieved exactly what I was looking for, and I never could put it all together on my own. Not only does Ashly have exceptional design abilities, she is extremely organized and professional. She takes detailed notes on everything we have discussed and planned and works diligently until the plan is completed, always keeping in mind the most cost effective solutions. We are absolutely thrilled with how Ashly has transformed our rooms and we look forward to working with her for many years to come."

"We moved in to our new home and didn't know where to begin. Our house was built in the 60's and needed many improvements. We started out by redesigning our master bathroom. This entailed everything from building walls, tearing out previous cabinets and the shower, picking out tile, mirrors, counter tops, fixtures, tub, etc. Ashly helped us design the bathroom through the entire process. She has helped us with each room in our house and has spent numerous hours with us deciding on paint colors, room schemes, and placement of furniture. She brought up many ideas that we would have never thought of. She understands the flow of a room and really has a niche for design. She has been a tremendous help through the hectic process of moving into a new home and we appreciate all she has done for us. We are slowly working through getting each room completed and continue to use Ashly's services. We appreciate all of her hard work and look forward to continuing to use her services."

"I met Ashly through a mutual friend after seeing how she transformed my friend's house into a comfortable, yet stylish home. I had very simple needs. I needed to focus on one room that had the major components - sofa, chair, coffee table - but needed to be "spruced up." It was a bland room that had potential, but I had lost the vision and feel for how it should look. Then, came Ashly. She is an enthusiastic and outgoing person who can perfectly blend her innate good taste with any budget. My budget was limited so we had our work cut out for us. On her first visit, she rearranged a few of my existing pieces of furniture and accessories which created a subtle yet beautiful change without having to buy anything yet. Ashly is an extraordinary decorator because she has an ability to know what a room needs to enhance what is already there. Adding accessories and a few pieces of furniture gave my room much needed pizzazz but never overwhelmed it. The family room went from being my least favorite room in the house to my favorite and most classic. Ashly's ability to work with any budget is a testament to her as a decorator and person. She understands the need to make a room look better without having to spend a fortune. It takes a trained eye, but also a dedicated and talented person to do it all."

"When we built our first home together, we had plenty of things to worry about. One of the things we had a hard time agreeing on were some of the aesthetics of the home (drapes, colors, wall décor, etc). We went round-and-round and it seemed we were unable to come to agreements on many of these things. Ashly came in and spent some time with us to understand what each of us had in mind. She came up with beautiful and coordinated ideas that made us both happy. She helped us with the creation of an inexpensive, yet truly authenticated Asian theme in one bedroom, settled our differences with tasteful drapes for the dining room, kitchen, and master bedroom, and added odds and ends that really tied the home together. She was able to all this at a fraction of what we would have spent doing it on our own."

"I highly recommend Ashly for any interior decorating/design project that anyone has. I have worked with her over the last 3 years, and I have been extremely happy with everything that she has done. She is able to work with your individual taste/style while also offering her own style and flair. Ashly is meticulous in her record keeping, and is always on time. Overall, she is a wonderful person to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone!"

" Building a new home and bringing all of my world travels together has been quite a challenge. When we first moved into this beautiful house, it truly felt like an overwhelming task to decorate and add my personal touch to such an empty canvas. Ashly's ideas have helped our home become a true expression and extension of our spirits, and we are so very appreciative. The bookcase arrangements and picture placements turned out terrific, and we are very pleased. I know Ashly transforms spaces for a living, but she helped to transform our hearts too! I just wanted to let her know my family and friends who visit our home are and were very impressed with the results. I receive constant compliments from my neighbors and friends. For this, I thank for her and wish her continued success...."

Events & Fresh Floral Design Testimonials
“As a bride, I don't know what I would have done without Ashly. She was our jack of all trades providing floral arranging, interior design and overall event coordination. Our wedding would not have been as classy, sophisticated or beautiful without her. Ashly has so many great qualities that allow her to excel in what she does, but my favorite qualities were her dependability, insightfulness and her ability to think outside the box. Since we were planning a destination wedding, much of my communication with Ashly was via email or phone. I knew that I could always count on at least a 24 hour if not immediate turnaround on any phone call or email sent to Ashly. She would offer thoughtful, quality ideas, pictures, and advice. My husband and I had a tight budget, but Ashly gave us great ideas about how we could achieve a high level of sophistication and romance without spending thousands of dollars. The day before the wedding when I thought everything was falling apart, Ashly was calm, collected and smiling. She was able to organize friends and family and instruct them on how to create the centerpieces and boutonnieres not to mention helping set up the reception site. Ashly skillfully dealt with wedding vendors and made sure I had nothing to worry about. As I said, I don't know what we would have done without Ashly. Her bubbly personality, sophisticated taste level, and multitasking ability make her a great asset for any bride. My husband and I highly recommend Ashly at Coast Couture!”

"Anyone who has ever been a Bride knows how important it is to have all the details come together seamlessly for their big day. I hired Ashly for my wedding that took place in May of 08 and I can tell you without doubt, it was the best decision I made! Ashly's commitment to meeting the needs of her customers is evident right from the start. She made the decision process not so overwhelming and her experience lends her the insight into what will work, and what will not. Her attention to keeping to a budget and managing this aspect of planning a wedding shows her business acumen skills and just adds to her natural "event planning" talent. Ashly arranged all of the flowers for my wedding venue and all of my guests commented on how beautiful everything was. I heard comments like...." It all looks so classy", "professional yet personal". If you are considering a wedding or event planner I give my personal recommendation that you will not be sorry!"

"Ashly was a huge asset in making our dreams come true as the florist and designer for our wedding ceremony and reception. My fiancé and I knew what direction we wanted to go in with our flowers and décor, yet we were very indecisive and overwhelmed when we first started planning. She had a sense for our vision, and was able to help us make decisions and brought it all together. Ashly is extremely detail oriented and was excellent in following through with everything. The hotel where we held our ceremony and reception only allowed us 2 hours to set up before hand. Ashly and her assistants were able to completely transform the space into elegant beauty within that short time frame, and she was also very helpful in directing the band, cake and lighting people to their places. I highly recommend her for your wedding floral and design needs."
