I loved everything about my experience working with Kelsey. First of all, our flowers were GORGEOUS. She took my original color vision and a couple inspiration pictures and knocked it out of the park! She was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the planning process and perfectly executed all the arrangements and placements the day of our wedding. Kelsey, thank you for your incredible talent and creative designs, and for making our day that much more beautiful!

We were so happy with our wedding flowers and truly appreciated the care and effort this team put into our day. They handled everything seamlessly, from the horse and carriage florals to the boutonnieres, my bouquet, and all of the reception arrangements. The flowers were beautiful, cohesive, and elevated the entire look of our wedding. The only small note I’d share is regarding the ceremony aisle. I had envisioned a flower petal runner with florals lining each side of the aisle, and the petals were scattered across the walkway instead. While it still looked lovely, it was just a bit different than what I had pictured. Overall, their work was stunning and they were a pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend them to couples looking for a florist who can bring a wedding vision to life with beautiful results.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful r...

eview — it truly means the world to us 🤍 We are so honored we were able to be part of your wedding day! I also appreciate you mentioning the petals along the aisle. Our team carefully places petals in the agreed-upon design style prior to guest arrival, but because they are so lightweight and delicate, they can shift quickly with even a light breeze. Outdoor (and even some indoor) environments can create airflow that’s unfortunately out of our control. We always do our best to secure and perfect everything right before the ceremony begins, but Mother Nature sometimes has her own plans. That said, I’m so grateful to hear you loved your florals overall. It was such a joy designing for you, and we’re wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Very easy to work with! Prompt return of calls and texts! We had some last minute additions and they gladly accommodated us. We were able to utilize some of their rental items, ...

i. e. votive holders and vases. This in turn, reduced what we needed to purchase or rent elsewhere. We only wish we were aware it was our responsibility to return these items to the shop AFTER the wedding. Not a huge inconvenience for us but it may be for others.

Hi Jan, I am thrilled to hear you were happy with all of the floral arrangements, I was so...

excited to receive the photo gallery you sent my way! I apologize that the information about tear-down was not properly relayed to you. However, in the contract you received on 07/21/2021, under the 'Rentals' clause it does state that "any rental items are to be returned within 48 hours of the event". I understand this may have put a wrench in your plans and for that I sincerely apologize. Best, Kelsey CHFD

just by our e-mail correspondence! She answered all of my questions in a quick and timely manner and was so helpful. She also helped me get exactly what I wanted within my budget and worked with me on re-using arrangements for different parts of the night. I truly appreciated that! Thank you, Kelsey!!

uch of a vision. I sent her some photos of florals I liked and we talked about how to achieve that look within our budget. There was a particular vine that I liked but was out of season for our wedding, but about a month before the event she found a different source for the vine and reached out to see if I wanted to include it. I was so touched that she remembered this and that she went out of her way to accomodate my wish. I felt like she genuinely cared about the result being lovely and was willing to discuss different alternatives to fit things into the budget we were working under. The result vastly exceeded our expectations. Walking into the reception space for the first time was magical. Carriage House was so great about setting everything up and cleaning up at the end of the night so we didn’t need to worry about floral removal.

I knew Kelsey was the absolute perfect fit for me and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her!! She was so amazing throughout the entire planning process and made sure she knew exactly what I wanted so she could make sure everything was perfect for my wedding day! She is definitely an excellent communicator and so easy to work with! One thing I learned about Kelsey after using her as my florist is that she is such a hard worker and puts her heart and soul into what she does! My flowers for my wedding day were absolutely beautiful and turned out even better than I could have imagined. I received so many compliments from family and friends about how beautiful all my flowers were. Don’t think twice about hiring Kelsey for you big day, you won’t be disappointed!

She answered all of our hundreds of emails and questions all year long and was so kind and patient and flexible with us! She made all of our specific visions come to life with thick petals down the aisle, a dramatic ceremony arch, different heights and sizes of vases and flowers, a variety of looks for our centerpieces, specific looks and flowers for our bouquets and boutonnières, etc. Kelsey made it all happen and created the most elegant and whimsical day! She exceeded all of our visions and expectations! She is just amazing and so much fun to work with and bounce ideas and visions off of! Kelsey helped to make our wedding day a dream come true and so much more!! Our wedding would not have been what it was without her!! She is just exceptional!! We would hire Carriage House Floral Design over and over and over again!! One of the best decisions for our wedding day!!

g, she was very quick to respond that she would. Her customer service is exuberant, responsive, and the knowledge of her product is impressive. Being someone who doesn't know too much about flowers, it was very helpful for Kelsey to walk me through the different kinds and reasons for choosing the right flowers for the season we are in. I would highly recommend Kelsey to any of my friends and family who are getting married!!! Choosing Carriage House Floral Design would not be a mistake and I can guarantee she will exceed your expectations!

I wish I could give Kelsey a 100 star rating. She made the entire process so easy, hands-on, and actually fun! Her initial quote was very reasonably priced, and included visuals of...

each and every flower she planned to use. Since I do not have a working knowledge of different florals, this was hugely helpful! She is so knowledgeable about her products, and makes it a point to use locally sourced flowers whenever possible. She was able to take my inspiration photos and create a vision that was more beautiful than anything I could have ever come up with. Her insight, experience, and opinions are so valuable and made all of my bouquets, center pieces, and ceremony arch arrangements look absolutely breathtaking. Kelsey did such an incredible job of wedding-day set up, arrangement, and re-purposing arrangements. She made wedding day absolutely gorgeous, and completely took care of everything. Do yourself a favor, and book Kelsey with Carriage House Floral Design for your event!

et up went. It felt extremely rushed and not complete. My cake topper was never completed like it was suppose to be. I was told that she had “other production to do” so she was in a hurry. The best thing a vendor can do is make the bride feel calm, not stressed out. The table runners and bouquets looked beautiful but I wish that the day of would have went a lot better. If you book this vendor make sure to know exactly how your wedding day set up will work! Know all the details so you don’t have any surprises.

Kelsey was able to meet with me and showed me pictures of the flowers she would use as well as a sketch of a draping I wanted, as I am visual person. she kept me in the loop at all times and when a hiccup in ordering a certain flower came up she informed me and was able to come up with an alternative that was just as beautiful, if not more beautiful than the original. I would definitely recommend Kelsey and her buisness to other brides looking for beautiful flowers at a reasonable price!
