Malleret Designs - Austin, Texas

Sabine W.

Malleret Designs is run and comprised of true professionals in the industry. Marcela is an incredible florist, decorator, planner and coordinator and will go out of her way to provide you with the best event possible.

I got married 10.27.23 and for a year and a half Marcela worked with me and my husband to make our vision come to life. She had flexible payment plans, and was so incredibly supportive making the process as smooth as possible.

It rained on the day of my wedding and Marcela and team didn’t miss a beat. At the end of it, I didn’t even care or notice since she made all of my vision still come to life.

If I could provide any advice to any bride who is planning a wedding it would be to hire someone like Marcela who is in your corner. She will ensure your day is flawless and beautiful, make sure you hire the right people, and walk away with a smile on your face.

Marcela is absolutely wonderful! She created an elegant and classy atmosphere for a beautiful intimate COVID wedding. My niece and her family were thrilled with how everything turned out for her dreamy day and were so thankful for Marcela’s expertise. She is easy to work with, professional and helps brides and their families enjoy their day without having to worry about the details! Love her!

We contracted Malleret Designs (Marcela Bogado) to assist us in transforming a venue that needed transformation. I was the project manager for our wedding, and I was very aware that I had to hire extremely competent and talented people to help me as I was planning this wedding from another city (Houston) while the wedding was in Austin, TX. My wife and I are an older couple (mid 50’s) that reconnected after 35 years since High School. As an older couple we have acquired a refined pallet through life experiences from wine, art, travel, and just experiencing the world. We opted for a very a modest venue so to not alienate our friends from 35 years past and to help make all our guests comfortable, yet we were having Justin Furstenfeld (Blue October) play for us and invited guests that would appreciate the refinement that a firm such as Malleret Designs could offer.. This venue needed lots of help to transform its modest décor to serene and uniquely beautiful backdrop for our special day. It required creativity and a strong network. Marcela Bogado was the right and only choice for us!

I write this review 6 months having a clear mind to look back at our special day. Marcela has such a talent for listening and understanding what we wanted. I remember the day she had the “aha” moment in understanding our energy and our pallet. She took it from there and hit the design from the beginning! We met to finally select materials to complete the picture and she provided excellent suppliers! We made very few modifications to her artistic approach to our design. Her design talent was clear and the only part left was the actual implementation.

Marcela and team were on site early and clearly communicated with us and the venue. The execution was flawless as I was there to do a final walk through. It took my breathe away as her vision came to a reality. As an experienced project manager, I could not have asked for a better design partner with such listening skills, creative talent, and focused execution to fully create a masterpiece. I am not easy to please, yet my expectations were over-exceeded. 6 months later and I feel stronger about Malleret Designs than that actual busy day. I cannot express my gratitude enough for all the RESULTS! I am in awe of Marcela’s work and if you want a strong partner to help with your special day, I strongly suggest you don’t risk it and simply put your trust in Marcela Bogado and Malleret Designs.

I started working with Malleret Designs 6 months before our May wedding, when we decided we wanted an modern, yet romantic wedding. From the very first meeting, Marcela listened what was it we were looking for and guided us to decide our style. She showed us many options and worked with us until we found exactly what wanted.
Working with two brides with different styles, and 12 total bridesmaids, has not been easy. She pretty much planned two weddings in one. The results were beyond what we expected. Being a destination wedding for Marcela, she took the time to be in contact with us several times as the wedding approached. We made changes, over the phone while using personalized galleries to define our decoration. Marcela, and the Malleret Designs team work very hard to ensure our day was perfect.
The day of our wedding, weather did not cooperate, and we had last minute change of venues to our back up space. Imagine the stress of having to change everything the day of! Marcela was the vendor that handled the situation with complete control. She rearranged things, moved decoration, used her knowledge and experience, and the result was amazing.
Thankfully, we were still able to have the ceremony in the rooftop, I was extremely happy the way our modern arch arrangement looked (see pictures. I am 100% confident our reception would not have been the same without Marcela's ideas, adaptability to work on a new space last minute, and perfect sense of style. We are forever grateful for everything she's done for us.
As an LGBT couple, we felt extremely comfortable knowing Marcela had experience working with similar couples in the past. During the whole process, we felt Marcela took the time to get to know us personally, and as couple. We would recommend working with her without hesitation.

Marcela with Malleret Designs was such a pleasure to work with. She was able to bring my ideas to life. Her talent was clearly high level with her designs. Highly recommended!!!

Marcela works so hard for you. From the initial consultation, she already had a full proposal with pictures to help us envision her interpretations of our wedding dreams. She is kind and open to help with whatever you need. She is firm and gets the job done efficiently. She's everything we needed for our day to come together. I almost cried while watching her design come to life on the wedding day. The flowers she used were immaculate (our guests took them home too!). Even with the flower shortage and my last minute request, she pulled together something that far exceeded my expectations. It was elegant, romantic, soft, and fluffy, just as I'd described to her all those months ago. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and high-quality our wedding was. She is heaven-sent. I couldn't recommend her more if I tried.

Malleret Designs did an amazing job with the flowers provided at our event! Marcela arrived to our venue at the time requested and immediately began setting out all of the arrangements in their specified places without any help needed. The arrangements themselves were absolutely beautiful and were a perfect addition to our event. We will definitely use their services for our next gathering!

We recently got married in the Caribbean and wanted to host a celebration afterwards back home for family & friends. I really get into the details when planning any party and was a bit neurotic about the florals for this one after a disappointing experience with my wedding bouquet. Thankfully, I found Marcela at Malleret Designs. She is a dream come true! She listened to my ideas and really understood what I was looking for. Her proposal was extremely detailed and much like a Pinterest board that included pictures of the actual flowers to be used in the designs. I knew I was in good hands and was hopeful she could bring my vision to life. She NAILED it! The florals for our party were exactly what I’d hoped for – beautiful, elegant, timeless. The perfect finishing touch. Meeting her on the day of was also a treat. Attentive and lovely herself. I am excited to have found my go-to event person for all things floral and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Marcela!! ♥
