Country Gardeners Florist

thank you Alana for helping us with our signature beverage collaboration, it really helped to connect with our crystal/flower themed day of joy. We fully trusted your artistic vision and knew that we were in good hands. Also helped that we were able to have a few laughs about our typos and that you were able to accomodate last minute requests! Anytime we need to decorate an event we know who we want to talk to!

struction and decoration were museum worthy and all guests in attendance (and via live-stream) commented on how beautiful the arrangements were. On the day of the wedding it was pouring rain but that did not stop Jo and her team from setting up the chuppah. As the clouds cleared just in time for the ceremony, Jo used her leaf blower to ensure the seating and the ceremony area were dry. Special shoutout to Landen, Jo’s Floral Assistant, for his professionalism and careful execution throughout the wedding weekend. Our wedding would not have been the same without Jo and her team. We could not possibly recommend them higher. We wish them only the best in the years to come.

g and they were so accommodating and creative in order to bring our wedding vision to life. We didn't want traditional centerpieces and big bridal bouquets and were looking for something more rustic and romantic and they sure pulled it off! From the rehearsal dinner flowers, hanging greenery in the reception tent, the birch chuppah, isle decor and my bridal bouquet (that they re-worked 2 times the day before until i was happy with it :-) ) Everything was flawless!!! The pricing was VERY reasonable for all of the work they put in and ever detail they perfected on the day of I cannot thank Jo enough! They executed our vision perfectly and I wish I could re-live it everyday! THANK YOU!!

, proud of her work, gifted, creative and did things we never even thought of. She picked up on our taste and aesthetic immediately after our first meeting and acted with confidence. I highly recommend her and her staff. Also, her shop in downtown Millerton is great!

have been nearly as beautiful without them. The flower crown she made for me literally brought me to tears and transformed my entire look. OBSESSED.

A couple specifics: #1: They are true professionals. During our first meeting, they already had some pictures I had sent printed out, and they were prepared with ideas. They had taken my pretty basic ideas, and fully fleshed them out. They had an iPad with pictures of their work. Everything was incredibly organized. Following our meeting, they emailed a detailed proposal, outlining everything we had talked about. They always responded very quickly to my emails. Wedding planning involves so many moving pieces, and their organization made it that much easier. #2: They are truly experts in their field. Jo and Shannon know everything about flowers. It sounds obvious, but I was blown away by how much they knew. I would show them a picture of a flower I liked, and they knew the name, when it would bloom, and it’s shelf life. They thought of every detail. They thought about how long certain flowers could be in the sun, if they had too much of a scent, how they would photograph. They are so knowledgeable and it really showed. #3: They are honest and truly care about making your day great. I don’t know a lot about flowers and my original ideas had so many things going on- I asked them if was it was getting too cluttered, and they answered yes. They then immediately walked me through a variety of scenarios highlighting certain flowers and schemes that I liked. Jo and Shannon are true stylists. They have a eye for colors and flowers, and the decor was beautiful. #4: They are committed to you and think of everything. They are very mindful of budget, and always had helpful ideas and creative ways to stretch our budget as far as it could go. They also recycled where they could. Flowers that were used during the ceremony were rearranged on the spot and used during the reception. After the reception, they were rearranged for the farewell brunch. Apologies for the wordy review, but Jo and Shannon are truly an amazing team! The nicest people and the best florists!

se out of a fairy tale garden) where we covered everything. We decided on renting gorgeous copper lanterns, a white bird cage and 2 wine barrels. They crafted gorgeous bouquets, centerpieces and arrangements truly making our vision a reality. Joanne and Shannon were so sweet and professional. We added on a few things the day before and they were able to fulfill our every request, even adding pheasant feathers into my maid of honors bouquet. They provided us with a small bouquet for our photographer to use to take detail photos. We couldn’t be happier!

ver! She was diligent during the leadup and planning before our wedding and was timely in responding to our changes to our order. She also literally cut down 40 foot trees and put them in our tent to decorate the interior. I was blown away! I absolutely recommend her.

magic! Joanne and Shannon compliment each other and lead a fabulous staff to produce amazing results. As a team, they enhanced both the most romantic wedding venue ever, Lion Rock, and my daughter's personal wedding experience. And, I will be forever grateful!

partnering with you to make sure everything is the way you envisioned it, thats what this team brings to your special day. They were always checking in with us to make sure we were happy, always fine tuning and editing for a overall exquisite look. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!!!

is a treat alone. That these two ladies are welcoming and just plain fun to work and brainstorm with is a bonus. They are a highly creative duo - along with their team - who seemingly read our minds to set a spectacular stage from rehearsal dinner, to wedding, to post-wedding brunch. They didn't simply create and deliver flowers, but were on site all weekend to execute and oversee, making sure everything was just perfect. Wish I had more children to marry, if only for the excuse to work with this fabulous team again.

aspect of the event with no detail going unnoticed. Their hard work truly made the weekend a magical experience. In addition to serving as our florists, Jo and Shannon worked as our coordinators as well. They could not have been more helpful, supportive and an absolute pleasure to work with. Without them, our wedding weekend would never have been as perfect as it turned out. Choosing to work with Country Gardeners Florist was easily the best decision that we made in the entire wedding planning process. We will forever be grateful for their help in planning a perfect weekend for us.

She added her own special touch to everything and everyone was speechless with all of the details. It was so romantic and rustic but elegant. We were at a loss for words. She provided barrels for our ceremony with flowers arrangements on top. The boutonnieres for the groomsmen were so lovely. My bouquet as well as my bridesmaids were absolutely beautiful. The centerpieces were gorgeous and so was our display in front of our table. She even decorated around our card box. It was just so special to us. We cannot thank Joanne enough. We highly recommend her services. Thank you SO MUCH for making our day special. It was beautiful.

ctly how she envisioned. Prompt and professional - I would highly recommend using for your wedding!

nd SO innovative with decor ideas & ways to re-purpose rehearsal dinner flowers, etc. To say they "brought my vision to life" is an understatement; they enhanced it and made the vision even better!!!! Still blown away by their attention to detail. I'll be drooling over photos of the flowers forever!

reative, wild-artistic type and Shannon is organized, communicates well and executes beautifully. Jo and Shannon also have so much experience doing weddings at Lion Rock Farm that their expertise and knowledge of the venue was very helpful when planning and finalizing details. They were able to suggest ways to reuse flowers and they pointed out areas that might need flowers that we didn’t originally expect. Shannon and Jo worked with us to iron our vision using pinterest, pictures from other weddings and mock up arrangements they put together. They were flexible as my vision evolved and they completely nailed it on my wedding day. I couldn’t be happier with all of the flower details of my wedding – the bouquets (Shannon even went out of her way to get peonies out of season for my bridal bouquet), the garland on the farm tables, the centerpieces on the rounds, the small budvases for cocktails, the urns at the church, the centerpieces at the rehearsal dinner and the custom greenery around the chandeliers in the tent. Shannon and Jo were physically present through the whole weekend and they truly felt like part of the wedding family. I can’t recommend them enough and want to have another event in the area just for an excuse to work with them again!

a wedding.

the elegance of our event. Country Gardeners designed our arch, all bouquets, bouttiners, flowers down the aisle, flowers in my hair, flowers on the cake, centerpieces and most stunningly, the garland around our tent. The green leaves were real and made the tent at the Interlaken Inn so much more beautiful. We also rented lanterns, wooden table number holders, frames, and candles. Prices were reasonable and Shannon was very up front. She also was efficient. She encouraged us to use re-use different elements. We used the lanterns from the Friday night welcome dinner in the atrium space at the wedding reception. She moved the flowers from the cocktail hour and down the aisle into the atrium space to decorate. My beautiful bouquet was the centerpiece of the our sweetheart table (and Country Gardeners threw in a lovely birch vase to take home). At the end of the night, we encouraged our guests take home the center piece flowers. I received so many texts from friends saying that they loved having the flowers. The flowers were good quality and survived over a week scattered around the Northeast! I can't say enough good things about Shannon and Country Gardeners!

bsolutely everything was stunning. I was so incredibly impressed with their ability to take a small vision in my head and make it come to life so beautifully. They were so fun to work with, and easy to be honest with. I will never ever forget my bouquet, and how perfectly it tied into the colors of my wedding. My vision was brought to life by Jo and Shannon and they were available every step of the way. I could never thank them enough. Extremely reasonably priced and absolutely beautiful work - it doesn't get better. I would recommend them to any/all brides!!

words to Jo that she and Shannon put together samples of what would eventually be some of the spectacular florals for our wedding this August. We worked together for over a year to execute what was utter perfection. I wish I could attach images! My bouquet was immaculate, the trees (the trees!) in the tent were abounding and set the scene, and working with them is like working with old friends. They just "got" us. I truly feel that Shannon and Jo got into my mind and pulled out all of my wishes - and they transported our guests there, as well. On top of it all, their prices are beyond fair for what you get. We couldn't have asked for better partners to plan the biggest day of our lives. Love, love, LOVE Country Gardeners!!

e did a fantastic job working with my rustic yet elegant theme and bringing them to life. Shannon was very responsive to questions and extremely easy to work with. I left the corsages and mothers of the bride and groom bouquets up to her and she did a wonderful job tying them into my bouquet and the centerpieces. I couldn't have been happier. On the actual day, Joann helped decorate the venue and move flowers from the ceremony space to the reception after. It all looked beautiful. I would highly recommend them as florists.

that everything from the boutonnieres to the bouquets to the centerpieces were gorgeous. Our color scheme was very springy--as it was in early June, and Joanne was able to just pull things from her amazing garden to make everything pop. In addition to flowers, she also provided us with decorations to the reception, including LED lanterns, and old rustic door to hold escort cards, and a beautiful birdcage for gifts and cards. She is also a pleasure to work with and talk to, and has an amazing energy that follows her around!
