ashleigh's garden

ifficult vendor and required a lot of baby sitting. That being said she achieved my vision and the day was flawless. It took a month and a half to get her to respond to a request for an estimate and start the initial conversations. The venue recommended her so I wanted to give it a shot. We had a great in-person discussion and made some great suggestions to use my budget efficiently. I was having a multi-day wedding so I really wanted to work with her on having long lasting arrangements. I gave the deposit in March for my October wedding. June roles around and I haven't heard from her in a while, not going through this experience before I reach out asking when we meet for next steps. She said she doesn't usually meet with brides again unless they need clarification on what the flowers look like so we're good. It's September, a month out from the wedding and she reaches out asking if I went with another florist because my deposit isn't filed in my records. I send the receipt and say no she's still my plan as evidence of my receipt. She comes back vaguely saying I've ghosted her since March. I lay out the details of our communications since day one and that I reached out in June and she said we were good. She responds defensively and rudely to me, basically saying why am I coming at her with animosity when she was just checking in. If it was just checking in, this wasn't the right way to go about it, because it sent me into thinking I have to start from scratch for my wedding. My mom calls the overarching business (it's one of three on this plot of land) she gets in touch with someone else who assures us that we're on track for my wedding and that she acknowledges the approach with this was unprofessional. We eventually get back on track and I create for myself an itemized invoice of my asks and I continue this throughout the remainder of the process. To this day, I still never received an actual invoice from the vendor, just paid accordingly to my own invoice. The final month of planning goes well and the delivery was perfect. The arrangements were beautiful and struck the balance of whimsy, long-lasting arrangments, and a natural feel. It's nearly a month after my wedding now and I still have arrangements that look beautiful in my home. ---TLDR: She came through and did a great job with the arrangements and delivery. I have beautiful, long lasting flowers that met my vision. BUT it took a lot of hand-holding along the way, as a bride I didn't expect to have to be in the driver's seat, project managing this vendor. Other reviews will also note she has an ego and can be defensive (since it came as a rec from the vendor and I met her at one of their open houses I never looked).---

at I wanted was a lot of white flowers and greenery. Allison made my vision come to life. She was very honest about what I needed and what wasn't necessary. She of course would've done the extravagent things if I asked but she helped me save a lot of money by keeping it simple and beautiful. She also attached a picture of my dad to my bouquet which was very special to me. The delivery was seamless. I am so thankful to have found Ashleigh's Garden.

dly from the owner (which I'm not entirely sure it was her considering that her name was spelled wrong in the emails) stating that my flowers couldn't be delivered until 4 on the day of my wedding. The ceremony started at 4 so that wouldn't work. Then they asked if we could pick them up, which we couldn't, but we found someone in our party to get them after finding out there was a large delivery fee and our venue was 10 minutes away. When my mom called the florist for me, whoever picked up the phone then got into an argument and began yelling at my mom, about how everything was my fault because I canceled delivery. The owner ended up calling my mom and she came in so we could pick up the flowers...which ended up being blue instead of the white I ordered. Gorgeous flowers, but not what I ordered or wanted. They never reached out to us to correct the mistake either.

nterpieces were beautiful bud vases filled with a few flowers and stems that matched our vibe just right. Allison was an incredible help throughout the process answering questions and helping to shape our vision throughout the planning process. If you are looking for a florist most definitely reach out to them!
