    Cary did an amazing job at my fusion wedding last fall and this review is long overdue! She created floral harmonies that not only included my color choices, but elevated and unified them. The wedding colors were jewel tones on the cool side; my dress was royal purple and gold, the bridesmaids in deep emerald, my mother in navy, groomsmen in charcoal suits with emerald ties, and the tables were iridescent blue-purple, with gold chivari chairs. Cary found the perfect flower combinations to make this work, and I was able to have the most gorgeous blue, purple, white, and green arrangements I'd ever seen. Cary worked with my budget, and recommended types of flowers and vase sizes according to it. She also provided options to see how things might look if I made more room in the budget, because hey, this is a very special occasion and why not have things looking amazing. I remember increasing the number of table arrangements while decreasing the size of bridesmaids bouquets -- all in all, it was not far off from my original budget and I avoided having sparse dinner tables. We also wanted flowers at the ceremony and Cary provided us visual arch options to choose from. In the end, we received a free upgrade and had a bigger arch than expected, with the most wonderfully romantic looking flowers wrapped around it. Cary and her team arrived prior to the ceremony and worked with the catering staff to get everything set up. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend Petals by Cary for your big occasion. Do take a look at the photos of my event. Thank you Cary, for helping make my wedding as beautiful as I dreamt!

    Cary did an amazing job of doing the floral for our wedding. She was very professional and courteous when we first consulted with her. When we arrived at our first meeting, we were impressed by her setup and professionalism of showing us the work she had done on a TV displayed in the reception area. She followed up with us promptly through email when needed. She also gave us suggestions on what we could use for our centerpiece flowers since our mother was the one who was doing it. Cary is a delight to work with, and we couldn't have been happier. Thanks Cary for all that you did for our wedding. We truly appreciate it.

    This review is long overdue, but I'm finally forcing myself to write it because Cary deserves a great review. She designed the floral arrangements for my 2014 wedding, and she did an absolutely fantastic job. I look at my photos from that special day, and the flowers are so gorgeous - they represent everything beautiful that happened on that day. I was incredibly happy with Cary's work. If you are a bride-to-be reading this, and you're on the hunt for spectacular flowers from a professional for a very reasonable price for your wedding, Cary is your florist. Cary is a perfectionist and has an eye for detail, so she goes above and beyond in delivering a beautiful product for your special occasion. Flowers were really important to me, and she worked closely with us to get the right colors and the right textures for the our wedding. I wanted vibrant, colorful flowers that would show up well in photos (I don't know why so many brides these day choose soft, muted colors - they don't show up well in photos!!), and Cary helped us create an absolutely exquisite blend of flowers. We met with her at her studio/workshop and she spent a very long time going over every detail with us (at my request; I doubt she would do that unless you wanted it). She was very thoughtful in throwing out different options and the pros/cons of different flowers. She brought snacks for us, and she even made us a "sample" small bouquet for us for free, for us to show our families. I was delighted with all of the personal touches she put into everything. On the day of the wedding, our families heard many times over how how beautiful the flowers were. Cary delivered all of the flowers to us on the day of the wedding and helped set up the reception with my day-of coordinator. She did the following pieces for us, and they were flawless - each of them: the bride's bouquet; the groom's boutonnière; the corsages for the mothers and grandmothers; the boutonnieres for the fathers, grandfather, and groomsmen; the bouquets for the bridesmaids; the arrangements for the tables at the reception; and the cake decorations. Her work was so great that I've told my husband I'm hoping to receive another copy of our wedding bouquet for our anniversary ;-) I talked with half a dozen florists and decided to go with Cary because her prices were extremely reasonable for the quality of work she showed us. Her arrangements for bouquets and for tables are easily in the $5,000+ range of quality, but at well less than half the price. I would recommend Cary, and will recommend her, to all of my friends and family looking for a florist for a special occasion.

    I heard about Cary through her amazing photographer fiance, Jason. I will admit that I did not look at many other florists, but that was because I loved Cary, her demeanor, and her designs after our initial consultation. Cary is extremely friendly, hard-working, and professional. This was really important to me, as I decided to have a full-time job, begin a MS program, and get married all in the same year. I needed vendors that were absolutely on top of their game, and Cary went above and beyond my expectations. When I told her that we were making our own centerpieces to save money, Cary did not skip a beat. She even told my now husband and myself that she was available for consultation in case we ran into issues making them! How is that for excellent customer service? As mentioned earlier, I didn't have a ton of time to decide on flowers, designs, etc. Luckily, all I had to give Cary was our wedding colors, and a picture of our centerpieces I had made, and voila! She executed some amazing designs for the wedding. Our wedding day was beautiful, in large part because of Cary's beautiful floral designs. It's been a week since my wedding and the floral arrangements+bouquets are still in amazing condition. I would highly recommend Cary for any/all of your floral needs, and I know that I will be using her exclusively in the future whenever it is remotely possible. Thanks Cary!

    Our team wanted to send an bereavement bouquet and I called Cary to ask if she can help me. She said no problem. I told her I'm not sure what flowers to pick for a bereavement bouquet and delivery would be in Santa Clara and she also said no problem, she'll take care of it. The bouquet arrived and it looked amazing. Cary definitely made our team look good. Thank you Cary!

    We hired Cary as our florist for our wedding in August 2015. She is so pleasant to work with and very professional. Most of all, she was super prompt in returning emails and on time with flower delivery. She's great with recommendations as well, which was great for someone like me who didn't know too much about flowers. On the day of the wedding, she was actually able to complete setup with ceremony and reception ahead of schedule. You will not regret your decision with Cary. Even our venue was impressed with her. Reasonably priced as well. Cary is just awesome!

    Looking for a florist on the peninsula for my wedding in Woodside, I came across Cary. After seeing her Yelp reviews and website, I felt sure she would do a breathtaking AND affordable job. If you are having any type of special event, especially a wedding, Cary is your go-to florist! Not only is her eye for design fresh and flawless, but also she is very respectful of your budget. When I realized that 1/3 of the estimate went to table centerpieces, I asked if she had other options. While she showed me the candle, mirror, and floating flower-in-water alternatives, she also was extremely understanding and pleasant when I decided to save money by having a friend arrange centerpieces from a floral wholesaler. To assist my friend, Cary offered to order us the same flowers at wholesale prices so the centerpieces would match the bouquets. This ended up being the perfect solution because my friend is learning floral design so she could do small arrangements, but could not do the bouquets, boutienneres, corsages, or floral arch arrangement that Cary so masterfully did. Fortunately for me, Cary also had experience at my wedding venue (The Mountain Terrace) and knew how to work with their wooden arch. I still feel that the floral arch looked better than anything I have ever seen in a bridal magazine! Although I first requested garden roses and peonies, Cary sweetly told me that those were at the top of the price structure, and also hard to find in certain seasons. Using my color choices, we went back and forth on a few designs until I was very excited, satisfied, and my budget was met. She also threw in a ton of little extras because that's just the kind of person she is... all the vases for the bridesmaids bouquets, votive holders, flowers for the cake, etc. She has a business degree-background, but combines that with exceptional customer service, professionalism, energy, and sweetness. As a bride, you cannot do better!

    Beautiful bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets made by Petals by Cary!

    I am grateful to have hired Cary as our florist for our wedding earlier this month and she did not disappoint me with all the beautiful floral arrangements, from my bridal bouquet, ceremony floral arch, all the way to decorations on sweetheart table and reception table centerpieces. I am happy as a bride to hear all the compliments from our guests about how pretty and lovely the floral designs are and have made my wedding more dreamy and fairytale-like. Cary is talented and pleasant to work with. She even spent her time assisting me looking for other wedding vendors and was more willing than anyone else to coordinate with my event coordinator and vendors with wedding's rundown and schedule. She was professional and reliable enough to update her works with me multiple times on the wedding day to calm a nervous bride down. She and her coworkers made a great team with all the impressive floral arrangements!

    Cary did great job on fulfill my dreaming wedding. It was just perfect, she knew so well of what I was looking for!!! She has great patience and excellent professional skills. Smart & Nice, just can't be more satisfied. All the girls were desperate for my bouquet:D

    my wife loves the way Cary prepared the roses that she got on V-day! If you want something MUCH more than just a bunch of flowers wrap in a plastic wrap like most other florist do, you gotta check out her website... the 1 she delivered looks pretty much the same as the 1 I ordered (which btw was a martini wrap).... love it!

    See all

    I don't have pictures but these ladies are AWESOME! Very helpful too. Attending a memorial…read moreservice in the area and just looking for a simple keepsake for the family. They are making a large glass bowl terrarium using requested succulents and crystals! I know it will be easy to keep after the service! The folks here are easy to work with - they do delivery for a small fee. Make great suggestions and open 7 days a week!

    I went to their shop on a Monday and Ordered a funeral arrangement /spray for a Friday service at…read morethe church for a total of $360. I chose the Paradise spray as the young man who had passed away really liked Hawaii. I asked the young lady that took the order whether it's large or if I pay more would it be larger and she said all the sprays are the same size and if you pay more, they would just add more flowers but the size would be the same. So, I asked her to charge me more for more flowers $300 and go from there. Told her it's for a young man who has passed away and I want it to be special. After calling someone to make sure they can do this arrangement due to the fact that they were very busy with weddings that weekend, She assured me that it would be done and made special. She even said that they have all the flowers in-season to be able to make this spray. At he church service on Friday I was so EMBARRASSED by the arrangement. It was small and not balanced (maybe it was missing the leaves around it... not sure) but it looked terrible or maybe the florist just didn't take the time to arrange in properly. I think they should not take additional business when they cannot handle it. I know the cost of a funeral spray does not compare to the revenue they get for a wedding but this was important to me and I wanted something special for my loved one. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to take a picture because I did not want anyone associating those flowers with me. After calling the store, a couple of people (Regina and then Mark) called me back and just apologized; At first offering to refund me 50% but then rescinding that offer. Their messages mentioned that I was charged appropriately for the arrangement and they would contact me but I never heard back after leaving my review. There should be better training of their staff when a customer orders so they do not give the wrong information about the size of an arrangement and also, not take on additional business when they cannot handle it. Think twice about ordering a one-off arrangement from here; their focus is only on big-ticket revenue from weddings.
