(Neither of us know much about flowers or event decor and she was helpful in making recommendations based on our vision and venue). She was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and very straightforward (and reasonable) with her pricing - we didn't have any surprise add on costs! On our wedding day she was punctual and did a great job setting everything up at the venue herself. We had bud vases on the tables, a few arrangements throughout the ceremony and reception space, and she supplemented the arch at the vineyard with extra greenery and flowers (picture below!). My bouquet was beautiful and just what I envisioned after showing her inspiration pictures as well as our color scheme. I was very impressed with her attention to detail and quality of work. We were able to get everything we envisioned for our wedding florals without spending an arm and a leg! Thank you Caroline!

Went quite a few times and everything I have gotten was great. Their drip changes out every now and then and you always have more than one option. It's decorated so fun. Flower arrangements are beautiful. The candles are some of the best I've smelled. The cute knick knacks upstairs are adorable. Everything was enjoyable. read more
