Marcela is the perfect balance of calm, attention to detail and ultimate elegance and grace. Her ability to take the vision of her clients and transform into a reality is unparalleled all while understanding the guest experience as well as the couples. As a vendor working with her is an absolute breeze. Everything she does is on time and with meticulous detail, which makes capturing beautiful wedding photography effortless and enjoyable! I always look forward to working with Marcela!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
