Carrie did the most magnificent florals for our wedding at The Roundhouse in April 2024. She took our vision and turned our venue into the most breathtakingly beautiful space in wh...
ich we could ever hope to be married. We are forever grateful that we had Carrie as our florist, and we recommend Carrie a million times over!
Stunning, beautiful, and breathtaking!! Just a few of the words our guests used to describe the florals at our wedding. Words really won’t do Carrie’s amazing work justice. Carrie ...
immediately got our vision. I left our mock up meeting filled with confidence that she knew what we wanted and was going to execute perfectly. I don’t know if I would describe many people as an expert, but wow, Carrie is truly an expert and master in her craft. When it came to the big day, not only did she select beautiful flowers, but the design and way she arranged each stem was stunning. I cannot recommend Carrie enough, she is a joy to work with and her talent is unmatched!
I cannot even put into words how wonderful Carrie is. She made our dreams come true and then some. Throughout the entire process, she was incredible to work with. I gave her some i...
nspiration pictures and a color I wanted to incorporate and let her loose to do her artistic florist thing. When I walked in for the first time, I could not believe how beautiful the floral arrangements were. They completely transformed the space. Our guests are still commenting on the beauty of the arrangements. I cannot recommend Carrie enough!!!!! She truly listened to our vision and brought it to life in an incredible way. I truly cannot thank Carrie enough for her part in making our day the best most beautiful day of our life!!
Book Carrie for your floral dreams to come true!! Working with Carrie was AMAZING. She has a wealth of knowledge of the entire wedding industry and was extremely helpful throughout...
the planning process. I used many of her great ideas at my wedding and it came out perfectly. She was willing to work with my budget and was transparent with pricing. I felt completely at ease about the floral design and process working with Carrie. She is confident in what she does and does not disappoint! Couldn't be happier with my choice.

Carrie was recommended by our wedding planner to do the florals for our wedding, and it was the best decision we could have made! Carrie has a fun-loving, creative demeanor that fi...
t so perfectly with our vision. Meeting Carrie for the first time was like a dream. We sat in her shop and played around with different color combinations and flowers, and it was probably one of the more fun parts of the wedding planning experience! Flowers were very important to me, I wanted a colorful, happy wedding and Carrie understood my vision and created an exceptional floral design that wowed everyone at our wedding. She is collaborative, talented and a kind, easy-going person to work with, I could not recommend Carrie enough!
OUTSTANDING!!! Carrie is extremely talented. She truly listens to her clients and goes above and beyond to make the day perfect. Her talent, experience, eye for color and design, ...
and ability to read her clients are simply the BEST. My daughter’s wedding looked like a fairy tale! You simply MUST hire Carrie! She will make your dreams come true!!!
Carrie has an amazing eye and was able to bring our vibrant boho/tropical vibe to life! She is delightful to work with and absolutely nailed our trial & wedding day. The ballroom...
looked amazing and we got so much more than we anticipated for an incredible value.
Carrie’s awesome work absolutely made our wedding. We came to her with very little vision of what exactly we wanted and a lot of ideas that had no business working together. Someho...
w from this, she built something truly unbelievable. We cannot thank her enough for her vision, her artistry, and the way she transformed our wedding space into something warm, inviting, unique, and totally us. Thank you, Carrie!
I wish I could give a review that included her work, but unfortunately I was unable to actually get an appointment. I contacted Carrie in March and she responded a week or so later...
saying she was out of the country and would contact me when she returned. She did not. I then contacted her two weeks ago to try to get an appointment for when I was in the area, and received no response. The other reviews and the work online looked so lovely and I wanted to meet her so much. Unfortunately, given the lack of response makes me nervous to even try again or trust to work with someone like this who I can't count on being responsive.
Carrie was AMAZING in every way!! We had a winter wedding recently and I just loved my flowers. So many compliments were made about them!! I gave Carrie the type of color palette I...
wanted (blush, dark red and greens) and the type of bouquet style I was thinking and she made it all come to life!! She even designed the cutest flower wand for our flower girl! In addition to being extremely talented, she was wonderful to work with.
Carrie was absolutely my favorite vendor to work with. My husband and I wanted to get married outside, but also wanted to get married in November. Carrie transformed our venue with...
plants to give it an outdoorsy feeling. She somehow took our millions of ideas and ramblings and turned them into exactly what we were looking for.
I honestly don't have enough good things to say about Carrie. She is an amazingly creative person and is also so fun to work with. She puts such detail into what she does that is feels specifically made just for you and not just like the latest trend or "standard wedding flowers."
Honestly, if you book anyone other than Carrie you're making a mistake. She's the best.
Carrie is absolutely wonderful to work with!!! Everything from the wedding bouquets and ceremony flowers to reception centerpieces and candles was gorgeous, and we received soo man...
y compliments! Carrie listened to our general theme/color palette and made flower suggestions to make our vision come to life! Her work is stunning, and I highly recommend Carrie!
Carrie is incredible to work with. HIGHLY recommend her for her expertise and creativity!!! We loved how knowledgeable she was about flowers and was great at capturing my rambling ...
words of what I envisioned. Not only did she expertly know every latin name for each bloom, she also was amazing in giving me options and advice while not making me feel pressured in making choices. She is kind and creative, timely and charming. Please use her for your wedding so you can have a vendor that is stress-free and trustworthy! She gave us a classy, sophisticated floral design (which was really hard to find in any other florists' photos) complete with gorg votives, candles, and beautiful blooms.
I found the perfect floral arranger that understood my budget and accomplished the brides dream. A pleasure to know, work with, knowledgeable, refreshing in ideas and styles and a ...
fantastic designs with a few surprises and touches that make sure your wedding is your own event.
Thank you Carrie, for making the day beautiful.
What a wonderful experience! Carrie Wilcox did the flowers for my father’s birthday party at Westport’s Longshore Inn a couple weeks ago. It was a big, elegant, fun, important da...
ytime party.
Carrie has exquisite taste, does reliably beautiful work, stayed within budget and on time, is easy to work with, always positive and willing to accommodate evolving ideas, and even accepts credit cards. It was a joy working with her.
Her advice proved invaluable.
The party needed arrangements that were lovely and sophisticated yet happy, not intimidating or overly formal...just carefree enough. And Carrie got it perfectly. I thank my lucky stars I found her because she also connected me with a wonderful party planner/coordinator and high quality vendors.
Carrie did an absolutely surreal job as our florist. I cannot say enough about how beautiful of a job she did. I imagine that our project was somewhat challenging in that we provid...
ed her with very little guidance but also wanted something different. Our wedding was Southwestern themed with a very bright color palette and we wanted cactuses/air plants/succulents incorporated. Beyond that we had no real concepts. What Carrie delivered was absolutely showstopping! People talked about our flowers all day. They were bright, bold, and unlike anything I've ever seen. She used flowers I'd never heard of to make stunning combinations that perfectly complemented the spiky, funky look of cactus. She brought extra flowers, airplants, and greens with her day-of to add flourishes to any undecorated areas that just tied everything together. When I had to leave after our wedding weekend to go back to work, I genuinely cried as I "said goodbye" to the centerpieces/bouquets that we had to leave at my parent's house. Carrie's work really set the tone for our wedding and made our day full of the most jaw-dropping surprises. I couldn't be more amazed by her talent or grateful to her for her hard work!!
Carrie did an absolutely wonderful job with our florals on my wedding day. Her creative vision elevated the entire reception, the church ceremony, and the bridal party florals- I c...
ouldn't be happier with what she came up with! Carrie took my very basic preferences and turned them into such special arrangements that not only went with the look and feel of our venue, but was very "me". She truly takes the time to understand your vision and also make fantastic recommendations. Not only that, she offered to do walk throughs with us and did a complimentary preview of table arrangements, which made us feel so much more comfortable in the midst of all that goes into planning a wedding. I highly recommend Carrie!! She goes above and beyond!
Carrie was an AMAZING florist to work with. From the moment we met her I knew her work would be nothing less than exceptional. Our wedding was a dream come true because of her. Sh...
e was an absolute pleasure to work with! I am so happy we chose her!
Our guests are still talking about the flowers! If you seek a florist you can trust to execute and enhance your vision, keep within the agreed upon budget and WOW you with every de...
tail, Carrie is your girl. We took a walk through our venue and Carrie quickly envisioned the finished product. She guided us through the component parts-flowers, linens, candles -and we were convinced we could rely on her creative genius, professionalism and expertise to create the perfect setting. The bridal party flowers were lovely and perfectly scaled and the Church flowers were amazing. We hope to work with Carrie again and recommend her without reservation.
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Carrie Wilcox Floral Design. Carrie was the first and only florist that we met with while wedding planning. From our very first...
design meeting up until the day of our wedding, it was evident that we had made the right decision. Carrie's work is impeccable. She brought all of our floral dreams to life. Carrie is also such a laid back, approachable, and super sweet person. Having such a kind and thoughtful wedding vendor made our wedding planning that much easier and that much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Carrie! Our family will continue to use her for future events that we may host.
Carrie was absolutely sensational. She was the only florist I interviewed for our wedding and from the moment we met, I knew she could execute not only the flowers but the linens,...
chargers, glassware rentals, and candles for our wedding.
I wholeheartedly believe that Carrie is a steal. She delivers a superior final product over other florists who are more expensive than she is. She works with local and sustainable growers to obtain flowers and has a great breadth of portfolio. When we hired her, I knew we were going to get an event that was unique to the two of us.
Carrie truly listened to exactly how we saw the day going and we could not have been happier. She even delivered a small vase of flowers to our house the next day that she didn't get a chance to incorporate into the wedding day. She had remembered from an earlier meeting that I loved them and went the extra mile to deliver.
As an interior designer, I am VERY particular and picky when it comes to color combinations and the feel of the space. You will not be disappointed if you hire Carrie. She listens, communicates well, is very detail oriented and worked with our other vendors and day of coordinator seamlessly.
I highly recommend Carrie and will use her again for years to come.
Carrie was amazing to work with over the last 12+ months! Planning a Connecticut wedding while living in San Francisco was pretty stressful, but Carrie made the experience so easy ...
- she met with my mom in person multiple times, sent pictures, listened to our vision, worked within our budget, and then used her own artistry to exceed our wildest dreams. I cried when I walked into the venue, it was so gorgeous!!
Carrie Wilcox was an easy pick as our wedding florist, as she did such an amazing job for my little sisters wedding years ago. But what she did for our wedding completely blew us a...
way, and had this bride in tears when I saw our venue all decked out for the first time. She took a rather plain room and turned it into this absolutely stunning work of art - people are still talking about it months later! Carrie thinks out side of the box and her creativity goes well beyond what I have seen - she is thoughtful with every single detail and I can honestly say our wedding would not have been near as beautiful as what it was without Carrie as our florist. I let Carrie run with a vision and she delivered! You want her as your florist.
Carrie really knows what she is doing. I picked her for floral because I wanted someone with a creative aesthetic who would not only listen to my vision but create something beauti...
ful with her own artistry. Carrie was amazing. The floral arrangements at our reception were beyond gorgeous. She had brilliant ideas and suggestions but used them all to complement what I was looking for. I had our reception in our back yard and needed a florist who understood that I did not want a rustic back yard wedding. Carrie got it and turned our tented reception into a beautiful, elegant affair.
I absolutely cannot recommend Carrie enough. From the day I contacted Carrie, she has been 100% accessible and went above and beyond florist. My husband and I lived in New York Cit...
y, and she ventured down to meet us, took us out, and walked us through all possible options. Additionally, leading up to the wedding she recommended hair & makeup, cake, talked me through lighting, and a million other things! When it came down to decor the day of, I was BLOWN AWAY. I told her that I knew almost nothing about flowers, and to use her creative skills, and she far exceeded all of my expectations. The flowers were absolutely exquisite. All of our guests commented on them - they were intricate, exotic, romantic, and absolutely perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Carrie Wilcox to any future bride.
Carrie Wilcox is absolutely amazing. Not only does she have amazing style and taste but she truly is able to work within your budget. She goes above and beyond for her clients and ...
on a few occasions met us in our home which is an hour + away from her. She also helped recommend other vendors! I do not know much about flowers but she guided me through the process and helped me choose the most beautiful arrangements. I reached out to MANY florists in NYC and most told me either my budget wasn't high enough for what I wanted or charged me for every single thing including renting vases, votives, etc. I absolutely loved all of my flowers and received SO many compliments- I am so happy I chose Carrie!! She is the BEST!
Carrie and her team were incredibly professional throughout our whole planning process. Upon meeting Carrie for the first time, I knew I wanted her to do the flowers for our weddin...
g. She has beautiful taste, a lot of experience and really helps you articulate the aesthetic you are looking for - something it isn't always easy to do!
She worked within our budget, provided ideas and guidance when we needed it and was very responsive, especially in the weeks leading up to the big day. She is also very flexible and will provide a sample of centerpieces about 6 weeks beforehand to actually show you the planned final product.
Working with Carrie was an absolute pleasure and I recommend her highly!
Carrie went above and beyond my expectations for my floral arrangements at my wedding. She is super down-to-earth, enthusiastic, and ensures that your day will come together perfec...

tter. We can't recommend Carrie more highly, she is creative and caring and does a magnificent job. Bravo!
I can't speak more highly of Carrie, and truly appreciate how she brought my vision to life.
From our first intro meeting, Carrie's bubbly personality and love for flowers made h...
er the easy choice for my wedding (and I met with a LOT of people). We talked through my vision (which wasn't exactly the most straight forward since there are so many beautiful things on Pinterest). She thoughtfully guided my vision based on my venue, dress, and *real* likes. For our last, when we reviewed an table arrangement, Carrie was very open to my feedback and helped us get to a great place. Days leading up to my wedding I had another idea that I wanted to talk through with her - in many cases, this would be too late - but Carrie enthusiastically came over to my house to go through yet another arrangement (so not all tables were the same).
On the day wedding, I couldn't have been more thrilled with the outcome. It was even better than our previous meetings. Carrie executed exactly what I wanted for the arrangements, bouquets, etc. She even clipped flowers from my mother's garden and included them which made everything even more special.
As a bride, with a million things on your mind, and placing trust in vendors to execute your vision - you're never sure what to expect. Carrie far surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend her to all!
We LOVED working with Carrie!!! Her arrangements were beautiful and also unique. She worked with my daughter to execute her vision with a perfect result. Carrie used cuttings from...

ts and arrangements were all so stunning! Carrie is very flexible when it comes to planning; she made some last minute changes based on feedback from my mom and rolled well with the "punches" which included the addition of a large escort card table arrangement. Her beautiful flowers were one of the highlights of my wedding!

s and alter decor. Her knowledge and inclusion of various types of flowers was so impressive! If something wasn't available for the month, she knew exactly which flowers could achieve the same look. She even managed to get me peonies in August which I was absolutely thrilled about! I received so many compliments on my bouquet. It had some of the most beautiful flowers I'd even seen. I highly recommend Carrie for your wedding or next event. Thank you!
Carrie is amazing! I can't keep track of how many compliments we've received on all of the flowers she put together for our wedding. I wanted lots of floral decor for our barn wedd...

Everything looked like something from a fairy tale. In addition to her talent, she is the sweetest person, so easy to work with and a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or any special event.

sion for the whole wedding together. From our very first meeting 6+ months before the wedding, Carrie made the whole process fun and exciting. The floral designs she produced were outstanding - truly works of art! I had several people approach me during and after the wedding to say Carrie's floral arrangements were the best/prettiest they'd ever seen. She also helped design the entire tablescape, including the vases, chargers, linens, and table number set-up. She completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend working with her for your wedding or any other event!

usiastically took the bride's request for romantic high and low table arrangements in orange, peach and blue (Syracuse U. colors), and somehow managed to actually include real oranges and orange slices (another tribute to SU). When I looked around the foyer, many guests at any given time were actually taking close-ups of Carrie's stunning floral design. The arrangements were truly impressionistic works of art, over and beyond our wildest dreams. Carrie not only pulled together the SU colors, but also merged the aviation/travel theme into a joyful array of spectacular designs. Carrie and her team were prompt, professional and extremely hardworking. Carrie and her team stayed for many hours, attending not only to the floral displays, but also making sure other décor and accessories/chalkboards etc were in perfect harmony. Words alone cannot express our heart felt thanks and appreciation for the creativity and exuberance of Carrie's floral arrangements and design sense in making our daughter's wedding so beautiful, tasteful and truly memorable.
Carrie and her team were amazing!! She listened to everything I envisioned for the wedding and added in her own unique and creative touch. Not only is she great at her job but she ...
is also a great person and fun to work with. She makes you feel even more special and excited for the big day. You cannot go wrong with using Carrie!!
Breathtaking, perfect, colorful, timeless, classic, yet cutting edge - all words that describe the flowers, but also Carrie! Working with Carrie was an absolute pleasure. She saw...
my vision completely and went above and beyond when it came to the final product. Once we built our relationship and fully trusted Carrie to "do her thing," the results were MAGIC! From the details at mass, to using lace from my dress to wrap my bouquet, to special touches on the back of our chairs at the reception, to the most gorgeous escort card display I have ever seen, Carrie did not miss a beat. Her floral design is without a doubt the best I've seen (and I am an event manager and work with countless floral designers). She is a professional, a wildly creative innovator, and now, a friend. Wish I could do it all over again. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose Carrie to make your day POP!
Carrie Wilcox did the flowers for my daughter's wedding about a month ago and we are still getting compliments about how beautiful her flowers were. The flowers at the church were ...
exquisite! The dahlias and Maria Teresa roses she used in my daughter's bouquet, her bridesmaids' bouquets, and centerpieces at the reception were gorgeous! Carrie was an absolute pleasure for my daughter and I to work with. Her flowers are a work of art. We can not wait to use her again and again...

ary and the flowers for my July wedding were exactly what I was looking for. We worked closely together to create my vision and Carrie's passion for her work truly shows.
Spectacular job! We were absolutely blown away by our floral centerpieces and boutiques! Carrie was such a pleasure to work with.
Carrie Wilcox recently did the flowers for my wedding and I absolutely could not have been more pleased with the entire process. Everything from our initial meeting, throughout all...
of the phone calls and emails, to the final delivery of the most GORGEOUS flowers, was above and beyond. Carrie has a taste level and a passion for florals that is not easy to find. Her unique selections and combination of flowers are sure to make any occasion extra-special and she will deliver exactly what you want. Her client's happiness is her priority and her warm and engaging personality made the process so much fun! I would absolutely her recommend to anyone!

any function! Highly recommend! I have referred her to everyone I know!
Carrie is amazing! She does exceptional work and her attention to every detail is impeccable. From the first day my daughter and I met with Carrie to discuss my daughter's wedding ...
vision - we knew we were in great hands with Carrie. Carrie asked my daughter to give her three words to describe her wedding vision; my daughter said, "Beautiful, Classic, and Romantic." That is what Carrie created!!! Carrie came to our house about a month before the wedding and set the table with a beautiful centerpiece and votives. She wanted to discuss which flowers we liked in the centerpiece and what we would change. There was nothing to change - Carrie knew my daughter so well after talking and meeting a few times. The centerpiece made the whole family get excited for our big day and we knew it was going to be beautiful with Carrie taking care of all the flowers. My daughter's and the bridesmaids' bouquets, the flowers at the church, the escort card table centerpiece, and centerpieces in the ball room were exquisite! We can't wait to use Carrie for our next daughter's wedding. She is lovely to work with.
Carrie worked wonders for our Spanish Colonial Wedding. Every other florist we reached out to said that our request for bougainvillea would not be possible because they wilt right ...
after they are cut. Carrie was the ONLY florist that said she would try and that meant the world for us. Not only did she give us the bougainvillea that we loved, but she also dripped the entire venue and church with a rainbow of beautiful/exotic tropical flowers. Everyone kept complimenting us on every detail of our floral arrangements. Carrie brought old San Juan to Wesport, CT. We couldn't have asked for a better florist to work with.
