Derby Farm Flowers & Gardens

and the person we met with seemed wonderful, but weeks went by without the quote despite being continually told it would be coming. Eventually, they just stopped responding to our emails and ghosted us. We are super confused about what happened, because the meeting was really great and we were assured that what we wanted was totally doable and in our reasonable budget. It seems like this isn’t a common occurrence for Derby Farms based on other reviews, but it’s the one we experienced so we figured we’d provide an honest review from our perspective.

, especially since we only had a vague idea of what we wanted. Our guests kept complimenting how beautiful the bouquets were. They fit the venue space and atmosphere perfectly! We couldn’t be happier with the results.

so wonderful, helpful, and attentive. They answered my emails and calls quickly, provided the most detailed flower proposal I have ever seen, and helped a very un-flower-educated bride have the most beautiful wedding flowers. I know nothing about flowers, but I gave them a few inspiration pictures and they made magic happen. My husband and I left for our honeymoon right after our wedding, but my mother gave the leftover centerpieces and arrangements to various neighbors and friends and has been getting calls and texts for weeks about how long the flowers lasted and how gorgeous they are. I can't recommend Derby Farms enough!

due to covid, they remained flexible and professional. They were great at helping us decide what we wanted and suggesting different arrangements. Finally, the team was phenomenal on the day. They arrived on time, set everything up beautifully and made sure everything was in its place. The arrangements were gorgeous and exactly what we had hoped for. We couldn’t have been happier with how they contributed to making our dream wedding come true!

r bridesmaids bouquets, the groom's boutonniere and five groomsmen boutonnieres from Derby Farm. Marlene, Lucinda and Sonia were amazing! This shop is right up the street from our house so it was very easy to contact them and set up a consultation. They captured our vision perfectly and were able to keep pretty close to our budget. I loved my bouquet and I wish I could've kept it forever! We had to pick up our flowers the morning before the wedding and Sonia was kind enough to meet us in the early morning before they opened to allow us to make the pick up. They were very well packed and lasted all through the wedding and even a couple days afterwards they still looked beautiful. It is definitely worth the price and service to go through Derby Farm. I will continue to go through them for all my flower needs in the future!

er Farm which was recommended by a friend. Lucinda took the time to listen to my vision, though we e-mailed and talked on the phone a few times I never actually met her and the staff. My bouquet just appeared at the venue in a beautiful glass vase right on time on my wedding day. They managed to create exactly what I was going for based on my pinterest board and my descriptions over the phone. I got so many compliments on my flowers, and I'm glad I sprung for a professionally-made bouquet instead of DIY-ing. The price was very reasonable for the quality of flowers and the ease of working with Lucinda and her team.

good and were very polite in correctly suggesting that some of our initial ideas might not have been the best. I'm not great at imaging or creating a visual design, so they provided a lot of photos and examples, but also took control so that I didn't have describe in great details what I wanted. Our wedding was outside and we wanted the flowers to feel natural and like they belonged in the setting. Everything was gorgeous and we received tons of compliments on the flowers, especially the bouquet. Our wedding was in Connecticut but my mother lives in Arlington and Derby Farm was willing to transport everything to CT for a small fee.

uple times to go through what we were looking for- they were good at guiding the conversation, even at times when my mom and I seemed to have opposite ideas. They executed beautifully- the bouquet, the big arrangements, the little arrangements- the flowers were exquisite.

designed the arrangements based on our invitation stationary. They did a beautiful job! They picked up not only the colors but the subtle shapes of the flowers in the invitations and the small arrangements really brightened the tables of our dinner venue. They made lovely gifts to guests at the end of the of night as well! The bouquet was perfect - fresh, dynamic, and the exact styles of flower and colors we discussed. The team was a pleasure to work with - reliable, creative, and talented! I would trust Derby Farm with any flower needs I have in the future!

ng process with them so much. I cried when I saw the flowers in the ceremony space. If you want a florist that will really listen to you and create a magical atmosphere, then these ladies are for you.

ng flowers typically cost. If I was going to spend money on flowers, I wanted them to be great. Derby Farm went beyond this and made them amazing. They understood exactly what I wanted without me being able to articulate it well at all. I was going for a more rustic/whimsical look since the wedding was in my parents backyard and Barbara, Marlene, and Lucinda knew exactly how to achieve that look. They made beautiful bouquets and corsages. They even accommodated my weird request to incorporate a dried morel into the groom's corsage (he ended up getting tons of compliments on it too!). My dad built an arbor from branches around the yard and Lucinda did an incredible job at decorating it with flowers while still maintaining the look of the arbor (and keeping costs low). For the tables, to save money I just wanted a single stem per bottle (saved bottles for a year for this and it was so worth it!). We got so many compliments on the table flowers. They were perfectly whimsical while complimenting the rest of my parents backyard. I loved that they were flowers you don't typically see at weddings, they were very unique. Michael (my now husband) was so opposed to flowers (if it was up to him we would have had no flowers at all) but he LOVED the flowers when he saw them. He said they were extremely tasteful and he has insisted on keeping them around the house even though many have died now (3 weeks later). I cannot recommend Derby Farm flowers highly enough. Communication is great and they met with me several times before the wedding.

my vision and they delivered. At no time did they push me to spend money, in fact, they helped me work with my smaller flower budget and prioritize what I felt would be important to the day. I cannot recommend them enough! I will be coming to them for everything in the future.

r tried to push the more expensive pieces on us, and our flowers were absolutely gorgeous. We ended up ordering two alter pieces, centerpieces, groomsman boutonnieres, and bridal/bridesmaid bouquets. They got the colors just right and the pricing was excellent/reasonable. Definitely worth going to them and getting high quality flowers for less money than other shops charge. Derby was even kind enough to arrange pick up of the centerpieces and flowers and transport them to our hotel where we were hosting a brunch the following day for a very reasonable fee (many florists don't even offer this).

mation and a time constraint, she was able to put together exactly what we had envisioned. She was very sweet and attentive. We also got a great deal!
