We limit the amount of full-service events to guarantee our clients the personal attention they deserve to create exquisite detailed focused work.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Klaudia! From the very beginning, she was warm and supportive and understood our vision despite our inability to fully articulate it ourselves. We are not flower experts but we knew we wanted something whimsical and magical for our winter wedding. She spent tons of time with us, in person, on the phone, and via email, making sure our proposal was exactly what we wanted. She even stuck with us through some huge changes to our original wedding plan and budget and came up with creative solutions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted within what we could afford. Within just a few weeks of the wedding, we got some wild ideas to use some items of our own in the decorating, and she made that work for us as well. The day-of, our flowers were unspeakably gorgeous. Klaudia delivered the bouquets to us right on time, and decorated the venue beautifully (all while having a broken leg!!!! She is magic.) Our other vendors, guests and even strangers during our outdoor photos raved about the flower arrangements. They were super unique and special, and I never wanted them to be over! In fact, we still have my dried bridal bouquet hanging in our apartment three months later... In sum, hire Klaudia. She is the florist of dreams.

Carrie and her floral team were nothing short of incredible! They truly brought my vision to life and made my wedding day more beautiful than I could have imagined. From the initial consultation, they were so easy to work with—extremely communicative, always listening to what I wanted, and offering expert advice. Their prices were incredibly reasonable for the level of detail and artistry they delivered. Not only did they provide stunning florals, but they also hand-crafted unique decor items that added such a personal and custom touch to the entire day. Everything was carefully thought out and perfectly executed. They made the day so easy for us by taking care of all the setup and teardown, which was such a relief. My guests were in awe of how breathtaking both the ceremony and reception spaces were, and I’ve had countless compliments on the florals. The champagne wall they created was a huge hit and became a highlight of the reception! I can’t thank Carrie and her team enough for making our day as magical as it was. Additionally, our coordinator, Elizabeth was an absolute lifesaver on our wedding day! She was so organized, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to her. She kept the groomsmen in check and made sure everything was running smoothly according to the in-depth timeline she created for us and our vendors. One thing I truly appreciated was how she made sure my husband and I were taken care of, ensuring we had food and drinks amidst all the craziness. Any last-minute issues that popped up, she was there to handle them, making sure I could focus on enjoying the day. Elizabeth truly relieved so much stress and anxiety, and I am forever grateful for her support! Do not think, just inquire and book this incredible team! I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day!

We used Bunny as our florist and wedding coordinator - it couldn't have gone better! Our interaction first with Bunny began with a lovely and in depth meeting about our hopes for flowers at our wedding. After walking through some questions, we ended our meeting and then Bunny sent a Flower Preview entailing all we had discussed with other options as well. This preview was set up like a power point with photos from the bride's bouquet to the flowers for the arch, boutonnières, and more! After finalizing every detail and being in constant communication, she sent over a Google Doc in order to fill out information about our wedding, vendors, rehearsals, etc. When the day of my wedding came, all I had to do was set out any decor I wanted to use and as my bridal party, mom, and I all got ready with snacks and drinks she provided, Bunny was furiously decorating the ceremony and reception space. By the time we were done getting ready, the space was complete and BEAUTIFUL! The day could not have gone smoother - as a bride, I was actually relaxed! As the ceremony continued, Bunny worked with my DJ, photographer, and videographer to make sure everything was as it should be. When my food arrived, the caterers had not brought the chicken (one of two main courses). Bunny took care of it by calling the vendor, letting me know it's getting taken care of, and even made an announcement to guests that the chicken was late. Even when something wrong, Bunny made everything feel right. I am incredibly thankful for her help, calm demeanor, and advice she offered along the way. You couldn't choose a better florist or coordinator for your wedding or event! 100 out of 5 stars 3

From the first beautiful proposal to our continuing conversations, Miriam was able to take my color vision to life. Coming up with a colorful palette that blended summer and fall colors (a September wedding) was no easy feat but Miriam was able to execute so full! I was in awe of my flowers from my bridal bouquet to ceremony stands, and our grand staircase. Out tables were event a gradient of colors and a last add-on of incorporating fruit, she did it and did it perfectly. We got numerous compliments from our florals and many guests begged to take center pieces home. Aside from the quality of her work, she is overall a good person.

She took our vision and made it come to life while using her own creativity. She arrived well ahead of time to get the room set up and the arrangements in place.
