Caroline was wonderful to work with for our wedding! From our first meeting with her she was…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable, and very thoughtful. (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!

I definitely had to make several trips around the store to make sure I didn't miss anything. I especially loved the beautiful Japanese stationery. They had a letterpress in the back of the store which the owner uses to design custom stationery and wedding invitations. They also sell some of the cards that they design. The employee who greeted me was extremely friendly and I could tell she loved working there. The store was a little hard to find because it's set back from the street farther than the other shops on the street but it's well worth the trip. I can't wait for my next visit.
