Bramble + Bloom

Mary C. LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!! I hired B&B for my son's rehearsal dinner determined to make it as elegant as possible. Let me tell you when the attendees came around the corner there were gasps!! Exactly what I asked for. People are still talking about the flowers!!! They did a row of arrangements down a banquet table plus other things. Cannot praise them enough.

I would highly recommend Kristin and her team to anyone getting married around stowe Vermont. My husband and I got married this September and they did the most amazing job. We knew nothing about flowers or what we wanted. Kristin and her team helped us to understand our vision and made it come to life. We are local to the area and around town Kristin has beautiful installations and a great reputation for us there was no other option other than bramble and bloom.

There are not enough word to express how grateful I am for Kristin and her entire team at Bramble and Bloom. They created the most magical winter wedding experience for us, truly delivering the most beautiful wedding I could have ever imagined. Everything from the bouquets, to the centerpieces, to the flower arches were stunning. Her florals and design completely transformed a typical hotel ballroom into a winter wonderland. Not only is the staff at Bramble and Bloom extremely talented, they are also incredibly nice to work with. Kristin, Zach and Tres all went above and beyond, answering questions and organizing everything. I can honestly say that I enjoyed working with them so much, that after the wedding was over, I was sad to say goodbye! I could go on and on about how fantastic they were, but I will just say I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding perfect.

During what was surely the busiest year ever, Kristin and her team came through and delivered an exceptional set of florals for our wedding. Their work was truly beautiful and we would highly recommend Bramble + Bloom to other couples!

Kristin and team at Bramble + Bloom were an absolute pleasure to work with. We had an initimate wedding with only 16 people. The wedding was outside under a tent. I really wanted the flowers and decorations to be extra special since it was a smaller wedding. Kristin completely understood my vision and she made it come to life better than I could have imagined. The day of the wedding, they were at our venue early, and they took time out of their set up to meet with me. They hand delivered the bouquets and even put the boutonnière on the men's jackets!

Kristin and her team brought my vision to life for my wedding! The definition of professional - she comes with a full team, is on-time, and her flowers are some of the best I've ever seen. The value you get with her is incredible! Can't reccommend enough.

Stunning bouquets! Kristin hit it out of the park. My now wife and I (both women) wanted different but complimentary bouquets for our elopement. Kristin was easy to work with and exceeded our vision. Can't recommend her work enough.

Kristin was great! She was easy to work with and her designs are beautiful.

Kristin is fantastic! She has a gift for taking a very basic vision and bringing it to life even better than you could imagine! It was wonderful working with her for our small elopement this year and I can't wait to do it all over again for our party next year!

Kristin was amazing to work with. My husband and I did not have a very clear vision but after meeting with us, Kristin more than delivered. She nailed our sophisticated, wild flower but not wild look we wanted to achieve. The addition of simple candle holders and metal accents that she sourced as rentals were perfect. She was also very easy to work with during COVID as our guest count, and therefore seating arrangements, changed several times.

Despite our original plans being foiled by COVID, Kristin made our floral dreams come true for our "micro" wedding. I can't wait to see what she will do for our full wedding/party next year. She was very flexible to work with and empathetic to the circumstances presented by COVID (I cannot say the same for all of our vendors). She made a flower crown for our pup that we loved and injected the day with a warmth and brightness through her floral design. It all felt very personal, as flowers should! Her work is relaxed, yet refined - a perfect compliment to the day we were trying to create. Thank you!

I hired Kristen from Bramble and Blooms to create a beautiful ‘campy’ style wedding for my daughter. The bouquet was exquisite put together with gorgeous white peonies and fragrant large white garden roses...a true creative masterpiece without looking contrived. My lake house was transformed into a fragrant green and white paradise that touched all your senses. Kristen and her gals were a totally pleasure to work with and I truly enjoyed every moment of watching it all come together! I would never hesitate to put a very important day to remember into Kristen’s very capable hands!! Thank you Bramble and Blooms!!! Best Regards Wendy Valliere

Stunning flower arrangements from an incredibly professional and talented business. I only gave Kristin a hint of what I like and she created magical bouquets, centerpieces, and an arbor. Beautiful, natural movement to all the pieces.

- Kristin did a fabulous job at our Vermont winter wedding. The floral arrangements were beautiful. She offered advice for the bouquets due to cold temperatures to help keep the flowers looking great rather than wilted for photos and the ceremony. I personally did not have a preference in flower choices and I’m glad I did not. Kristin created something beautiful that I would not have even been able to describe or pick out myself. Every single boutonniere and bouquet was perfect. The tablescapes for the reception were AMAZING. She designed two different layouts utilizing votive candles, glass jars for floral arrangements, and greenery swag. Everything was spot on. Every guest commented on how beautiful everything was. Kristin went above and beyond. Our ceremony décor was breathtaking. The wooden arbor decorated with greenery was flawless and fit the picturesque winter wedding day perfectly. Everyone, including our other vendors, commented on how unique and beautiful the arbor was. Kristin also created a crown for our flower girl and a swag to be wrapped around the dog wagon. The ceremony was lined up with decorative lanterns provided by Bramble and Bloom as well. I am BEYOND happy to have gone with Bramble and Bloom for our wedding. Kristin delivered everything and more as agreed upon. Her imagination created a beautifully sculpted ceremony and wedding reception. She was a pleasure to work with. She has immense knowledge about flowers and really selected ones that did not wilt and shrivel in the colder temperatures. She went above and beyond what I ever could have imagined. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Bramble and Bloom for any floral needs!

The floral arrangements at our wedding took my breath away when I walked into the venue. It was absolutely unreal! Kristin is beyond talented, I couldn’t have envisioned anything more beautiful. I distinctly remember staring in awe at the flowers on our sweetheart table and pointing out the perfection to my husband. The bouquets were so nicely laid out in our bridal suite and it made me feel like a princess when I arrived. The groomsmen has been watching Kristin painstakingly put flower by flower up on the arbor. They were taken aback by her craftsmanship. My heart was so full knowing just how hard Kristin worked to make everything spectacular. The owners of our venue were so impressed by Kristin's work that they plan to recommend her to their brides. I certainly recommend her! Kristin transformed our wedding and created an atmosphere so beautiful that it had an immensely positive impact on the atmosphere and our guest experience (and obviously mine & my husband's). I can’t thank Kristin enough for her creative talent, unbelievable attention to detail and upmost professionalism. She transformed our wedding into something so much more!

Kristin is amazing!! We worked together on a destination wedding for our couple in Southern California who changed plans last minute to host an intimate family wedding in Stowe during the busiest week of the year for this town. She jumped to help and carried out our vision beautifully! Kristin was extremely helpful and quick to respond and made designing an event from the other side of the country a breeze.

Kristin at Bramble + Bloom absolutely MADE our wedding. Her work took our breath away and was honestly one of the best parts of the entire (absolutely magical!) day. She took our very vague and confusing vision ("a little bit boho -- but not too boho! a little bit rustic -- but not too rustic! a little bit industrial -- but not too industrial!") and somehow managed to give us exactly what we wanted -- despite not knowing ourselves what that meant. Our guests are still commenting to this day on how incredible the decor was. And that's one thing that makes Kristin so special -- she didn't just find and incorporate beautiful and unique flowers, but she designed the entire look and feel of our wedding. She transformed our ceremony stage with gorgeous rugs, lanterns, and a super unique floral installation, and transformed our pretty boring/bland white tent into a romantic, lush landscape with everything from giant ferns, greenery pole wrappings, cement and terracotta vessels, and hanging macrame planters. She even worked with the rental company to get the complicated lighting scheme I wanted just right. But I don't want to underscore how incredible her flower game is. She found the most beautiful and unique florals and incorporated them in ever part of the day, including boutonnieres for our VIP family members and an adorable flower crown for our 2 y/o flower child. My bridesmaids are still gushing about their bouquets, and I legitimately cried when I had to leave mine behind to go on our honeymoon. She even went above and beyond to find me peonies despite being entirely out of season and with shipments disrupted by a massive HURRICANE. Kristin incorporated so many interesting and unusual elements in a way that came together so cohesively and beautifully -- and looked like no other wedding I had ever seen. (I know I'm biased -- but our guests kept saying the same thing!) What made the whole experience even more amazing, is that on top of how beautiful everything looked, Kristin was also just such a pleasure to work with. We were planning our wedding from afar, and we booked Bramble + Bloom after one phone call -- we enjoyed our first phone conversation that much, and Kristin came so highly recommended from our venue and photographer. And we have said since that it was one of the best decisions we made throughout the whole process. (Maybe only beat by us deciding to get married.) Kristin graciously and patiently handled all my annoying questions, all my nervous indecision, far too many changes (many last minute) to the plan, and all the while guided us to the best possible decisions. I remember saying over and over again, "In Kristin We Trust!" -- and that ended up paying off in spades. She's also a delight of a human, super hilarious, and a really great stress reliever from wedding planning. We feel like became genuine friends throughout the process and were so sad to say goodbye to her after the wedding. If you can't tell already -- we LOVE Kristin and could not recommend her highly enough!!

Kristin is awesome. She worked with my daughter and created (grew) beautiful succulent and fragrant herb centerpieces and bouquets for her wedding. She was fairly priced. We received so many compliments on the flowers that many of the centerpieces now live in FL,VT, MI, MA, TX. This was a destination wedding and we met maybe 3 times over the course of a year and the finished product was exceptional. My recommendation is to share your vision with Kristin and then just trust her. We would not have been nearly as pleased if we had tried to micromanage her. Hire someone who is good and creative and let them do their thing! You will not be disappointed.

My partner and I decided on a combination of flowers and succulents for our wedding theme, and after looking into multiple boutiques in the area—most of whom looked great—we decided on Bramble + Bloom because, to be blunt, they’re the best. Kristin designed and delivered beautiful flowers and succulents over three days of celebrating, and she exceeded our expectations! Her design and quality were noticed by, it seemed like, every guest; more than a few guests asked to take arrangements home with them, and almost every guest was from out of state. My wife and I took several succulents home with us to Texas. Kristin was a pleasure to work with and her prices were fair for the quality she delivered. I don’t plan to get married again, but if I’m ever in or around Stowe and need flowers for a special occasion, I know where I’m going.

Kristin and the whole Bramble + Bloom team are absolutely spectacular. She made my wedding so magical that it literally looked like it was from a bohemian fairytale. She was extremely easy and pleasant to deal with. I told her my vision and she executed it with perfection. My flowers were unique and inspired. My table decor exuded a sultry ambiance. Everything was perfect. She is by far the best.

I cannot sing Kristin McArdle's praises highly enough! As a wedding coordinator in Stowe, I have worked with many florists and seen many beautiful wedding flowers... but none so dreamy as Bramble + Bloom!! So stunning, earthy & unique. Kristin is also just the loveliest, and you can tell she really pours her heart into her work. I give Bramble + Bloom one million stars. :)

Kristin was fantastic to work with and went above and beyond in so many ways! As someone who works in art and design I know that I can be very particular in my preferences and Kristin worked with me to incorporate my vision while still keeping the style true her own. In addition I requested to use vases created by my father in law who is a glass blower made specifically for the event. This definitely added to planning the logistics as we needed to coordinate that the vessels were the shape, size and weight that she needed and ship them back and forth. Kristin patiently directed us along the way and we were thrilled to be able to incorporate them. On our wedding day the events were all supposed to be held outside either in the open or under a tent. The morning of the wedding a torrential rain and lightning storm pushed the ceremony inside to a site that wasn't even on our list of backups and our reception was held under a tent outside. Despite the last minute changes and the very wet and less than ideal working conditions, Kristin pulled it all off, and everything was absolutely stunning. I loved walking into each new location for the first time and seeing how she had transformed it. Kristin is truly talented and I would highly recommend her!

Kristin did an excellent job and transformed our tent into a romantic and beautiful space. She was even able to find sustainably sourced birch trees and created a canopy of greens over our dance floor!

I can not recommend Kristin enough! She perfectly captured my vision and was a dream to work with. The arrangements she created for us were stunning. She even surprised us with adding flowers to some cocktail tables that we didn’t realize would be at the venue, ensuring everything was perfect for our day!

Kristin was so amazing to work with. I am a wedding planner based in Southern California and had a client looking to have a 20 person wedding in Stowe, Vermont in 10 days over the holidays. Kristin jumped right in and was super helpful, friendly and of course talented. She went above and beyond and is truly amazing.

As a member of the wedding professional community in Vermont, I wanted to share how highly I recommend Bramble & Bloom. Kristin’s work is absolutely stunning, wild and unique! I have worked on several weddings with her this year and I can’t say enough how fortunate we are to have her artistry in our community. Not only is her work so special and spectacular, but she herself is incredibly easy to work with, kind, organized and lovely. Did I mention organized? I’ve never seen a more thorough timeline than the one she created for all the vendors working an event in August. Do yourself a favor and contact her for your event!

Great, creative style! Amazing bouquets and arrangements.

Kristin was amazing to work with! She was patient, attentive, and somehow made my jumbled floral vision come to life perfectly on my wedding day. Everything she provided and created was curated to my exact preferences and couldn't have been more beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Look no further, Kristin is your girl. We were thrilled to work with Bramble + Bloom for our big outdoor camp wedding this summer. She did everything from flower crowns to cake florals to massive bohemian ceremony pieces. Not only is she insanely talented but 110% devoted to making your floral dreams a reality. She's easy to along with, well organized, creative, and has a lot of knowledge about locally sourced flowers (which saved on the budget!!). She won me over and will do the same for you!

Kristin was a pleasure to work with. As a wedding planner, I always look for creativity and excellent customer service from vendors to my clients and Kristin understood both concepts well. Her communication was outstanding and her final product was a feast for the eyes. My client's favorite part of the wedding! Highly recommended.

Amazing! Kristin's work made our wedding absolutely memorable. Her hands-on style will help you create the perfect wedding. By taking the time to get to know your and your vision for the wedding, Kristin will create the perfect ensemble to highlight your day. From the bouquets, boutonnieres, table runners, centerpieces, and the arbor, each of these pieces flourished with unique flora. Everything tied with and complemented our wedding party colours. If you are looking for a Vermont Florist, there is no reason to look any further. Everyone raved about our arrangements - to the point where no flowers were left after our wedding. I would recommend 1000 times over. Did I mention the flower crown for the Junior Bridesmaids? Customize your wedding at the perfect price.

My husband and I got married in Vermont this past September and were truly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Kristin as our florist. No matter how hard you work and how many spreadsheets you create, not every detail on your special day will go as planned and I can say that applied to everything EXCEPT for Kristin. Her work was truly PERFECT. Her ability to capture exactly what both my husband and I wanted and were envisioning without us being the best at articulating it had us speechless. She was incredibly detailed and attentive and is just a pure and natural artist. My bouquet was heaven sent..just flawless, our arbor was stunning, the flower crowns, center pieces, menu sprigs, boutonnieres, cake decor, EVERYTHING was just flawless. She was extremely flexible, accommodating and worked with us to stay within our budget. But the best part about working with Kristin is that she is just a great person, incredibly nice, full of positive energy and down to earth. She made it feel like we had been friends for years! Truly a professional and we are forever thankful for having found her and forever grateful to her for making our wedding beautiful!! Honestly made my dream a reality!! THANK YOU KRISTIN!!

Kristin's floral creations and designs were above and beyond. She completely captured the aesthetic and mood we were going for, without us having to be specific. It is amazing when you can work with a skilled and creative person and they are able to take your vision and make it reality without too much direction. Not only was everything absolutely beautiful, but Kristin was great to work with: she dealt with our last minute requests and had everything set up well ahead of time, and remembered every detail. I truly can't put into words how much we loved our flowers and greenery and the way it all came together - it was one of my favorite parts of the whole wedding!

Kristin made my vision come to life and exceeded my expectations. Everyone couldn’t stop commenting on my bouquet and my photographer was blown away. He said he’d never seen such a great bouquet - needless to say we got lots of pics ! When another florist I was working with on bulk flowers for diy bridesmaids bouquets really messed up my order and I was deveastaed I called Kristin. When my mom got their to get my bouquet she sent my mom back to me with blooms she had left over to help fill in my bridesmaids bouquets, at no charge! She’s exceptionally talented and I can’t say enough good things.

I cannot recommend Kristin and her team highly enough. From our first meeting, I felt totally heard and understood, and was completely confident throughout the planning process that our plan would be brought to beautiful fruition. Man, did they deliver. We went with a natural, loose, wispy English garden feel with a lot of loose greenery (olive branches and peonies and lisianthus, oh my)—looking back on our pictures, I wouldn't change a thing, which is saying a lot for a very opinionated flower snob. Some of my favorite details of the day: birch saplings attached to our sailcloth tent masts, greenery hanging over the head table like an installation piece, and our white peony arch at the altar. Oh, and the most adorable individualized bud vases (which Kristin sourced and special ordered), each with different white blooms and wispy greens, acting as place cards. Kristin managed to absolutely nail every goal we had set, and took so much time and effort to make everything so exciting the weekend of. Kristin is a creative genius with amazing taste and vision and a real gift for listening and understanding the exact vision of her client.

Kristin (Bramble + Bloom) was amazing to work with! I knew from our first phone consultation that she understood my vision, which was so important as an out of state bride. She checked in regularly throughout the process and her experience was incredibly helpful when choosing the overall design and table layout. Kristin was able to create something even better than I had imagined. I wish I could keep my bouquet and centerpieces forever! Highly recommend.

Look no further!! Kristin's service from Bramble + Bloom was beyond exceptional from start to finish! My husband and I got married in Vermont in July and heading into planning I always knew floral was a big component for our wedding. I looked into a number of different options in the VT area, but once finding Kristin I knew she was the right one. From our first meeting I could instantly see her passion for what she does. From our coffee dates we had exploring our concept for the wedding, to the mock up before the wedding, all of the help Kristin was tying in other pieces of our wedding, to the day of exceeding all of our dreams. Everything was GORGEOUS!! Kristin is creative in so many different styles, knowledgable, flexible, and a perfectionist at what she does. I only hope I can find another reason to work with Kristin and I feel 100% confident that if you choose to work with her you'll be so happy you did!
