There are way too many scents to choose from, but somehow we walked out with a candle.

We were at the Deer Park Town Center for a (as we discovered) a fairly mundane art festival. So when we finished in under 10 minutes, we ducked into Yankee Candle and spent more time there than the art festival. It's a well kept store with very friendly staff.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience as a vendor at The Painted Tree. Despite joining…read moreover a month ago at the peak of Chrismas shopping, I have had zero sales, which is incredibly frustrating. The lack of foot traffic is alarming; it seems like hardly anyone is visiting the shop. The store's marketing is inadequate; I've never seen any promotions on social media to attract customers.When I requested a two-foot longer booth at the end-cap, I expected some accommodation or discount, but none was offered. I regret becoming a vendor here and feel that my investment has not been worthwhile, especially being tied to a 12-month contract. All of the staff are very friendly, however more work needs to be done by management or the head office to bring in more traffic. I have dedicated nearly $700 towards the purchase of displays and decor. I have items ranging from $2.99 upwards to $129.99, all of which are handmade.I can't recommend The Painted Tree to other vendors unless they improve their marketing strategies and attract more customers.

I'm so glad my planner introduced me to Avant Gardenia. From the moment I met Jenna, I felt like…read moreshe was someone who understood my vision, likes and dislikes and could transform them from concepts into reality, someone who could create a tasteful rendition within our budget. Our decor sample was great. Both Jenna and my planner worked with our schedules since I was in my final year of medical school and my now husband was in business school. Jenna got up at the crack of dawn (probably earlier, honestly) to get to our location early and sort and prepare everything for us. I literally had no changes to make to any of her work, and I could trust her for her thoughts on our tablecloths that went with the rest of her work. I was a little worried it might seem like I didn't care, since I literally had nothing to change with her flowers, but honestly it was just that beautiful a representation of our ideas for the day. My bouquet was absolutely stunning, by all accounts. I'm not one of those people who dreamt of their wedding day growing up. But one thing I did know growing up is that I love orchids. I have family in Hawaii and would visit them regularly each year, and every year I just fell more and more in love with the orchids around us. Dendrobium, Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium, didn't matter, I love it all. And when I first met Jenna I told her that. Her orchid bouquet for me was the most perfect one possible for me: simple, delicate and classic, yet luxurious and lush all at the same time. The flower wands and bouquets for the bridesmaids were also flawless interpretations of my vision. Our site didn't allow flower petals to be thrown. Given the ages of our four flower girls (3-5), we decided wands would be the best thing for them to hold. They were darling. The bridesmaids bouquets were truly gorgeous, and with barely any discussion or input necessary from me going into that final decision. I just trusted her to create something magical that I would love, and she did, all on her own. Last but not least, I wanted the flowers after the big day to go somewhere to be appreciated by people and mentioned it to my planner, who reassured me that Jenna always takes care of that. What seamless work. I think being able to trust your team and their taste and ability to execute is how you get their best work. If they're excited about what they do, it shows. Jenna is someone who clearly loves her work, was very thrilled about our wedding, and it showed in every beautiful bloom and blossom her magical fingers touched. Thank you again for your expertise, your class and your thoroughness in creating our decor!!
