Diane Gaudett Custom Floral DesignsLLC

l and very good at what she does. She really helped make our day very special.

working with Diane to design my daughter's wedding flowers and wedding tent. Planning a wedding during a pandemic proved to have many challenges but Diane was incredibly responsive, patient and eager to help.  She has a wonderful way about her, especially her sense of humor which got us through the toughest of times!   She is artistic, gifted and so talented.  The flower arrangements were absolutely gorgeous  and the tent was designed more beautifully than any venue I have seen before!  She captured my daughter's vision of rustic elegance perfectly!  I can't recommend her enough!

was more than flexible as we had quite a few last minute changes due to the circumstances! We had been nervous about moving our wedding from inside a barn, to outside under a tent. Diane absolutely TRANSFORMED the space!!! Our guests could not stop complimenting the decor and how dreamy everything looked. Diane is truly amazing at what she does and has impeccable taste. Every little detail made all the difference for our special day and we were so happy to work with her!

it to life, but exceeded every expectation. While planning, Diane and I had lengthy calls and met in person, discussing my vision and she provided expert feedback on how to make it happen. She never made me feel like any question was silly and always made me feel like a priority despite that her team may be orchestrating countless events on the same day! I was told by countless guests that “that was most beautiful wedding I have ever been to” and a huge part of that was Diane’s work. You will be so grateful you choose Diane Gaudett Floral Design.

rs. It was magical! I've never experienced anything like it. She incorporated so many tiny thoughtful details that really took things to the next level.

nd vision were spot on to what we were envisioning. It was a pleasure to work with her and out of all of our vendors, she truly made us feel special and went above and beyond. Everyone at our wedding also complimented our flowers and greenery, and the pictures certainly showed it as well. Thank you again Diane!! Highly recommend Diane for ANY of our floral and design needs.

with the dreamiest and most elegant flowers. She was a joy to work with, from initial contact, to consultations, the wedding day itself. Her team was also very sweet and professional. I would highly recommend Diane - she is a true artist!

o meeting Diane and was beginning to think that there was no one out there who could understand my vision for our wedding day. When I met Diane I was instantly obsessed; she is energetic, passionate, funny, stylish and she understood exactly what we was looking for. Diane took time to have multiple meetings with me both in person and over the phone during the planning period. There are no words to describe how I felt walking into The Loading Dock on the day of our wedding. Diane and her team took an empty venue and completely transformed it into our dream. There was no detailed missed. I literally heard people gasping as they walked into each room. Every expectation we had was FAR exceed by Diane. We could never thank her enough – Matthew & Stephanie

ecorations and flowers! Many said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever seen! It was like something out of a fairy tale! She truly is amazing and can create anything you can imagine! I would suggest her to anyone who wants to have the most beautiful flowers and arrangement for any event!! Thank you for everything Diane! You're truly the best! Ashlee & Vanessa

with some ideas, but I let her work her magic and her selection of flowers was breathtaking. My favorite part was my bouquet, which was straight out of my dreams. She truly took our wedding to the next level with her incredible talent.

of expectations. And, if that matters to you, our guests were so complimentary, so many saying they had never seen such gorgeous floral arrangements, bouquets, and the accents. Most importantly, she is a joy to work with at such a happy time. She is always pleasant and patient in handling questions and concerns, has a fabulous eye for detail, so experienced and accomplished yet embraces something different with such enthusiasm, and so helpful in extending advice concerning the wedding planning. Diane made my daughter’s wedding such a wonderful time and experience for me. The look on my daughter’s face when she saw the church and then the gardens and the tent at the reception! Finally, how many times in your life can you say you wouldn’t have changed anything and how wonderful for me this was the case for my daughter’s wedding because of Diane’s creativity.

sed were gorgeous from the cake decor to the centerpieces, to the head table and the spectacular bouquets. My daughter absolutely loved the bouquets, especially hers. Diane is wonderful to work with. She gave us suggestions and we left the rest to her. She really made this day special for all of us.

so many fabulous ideas and makes your vision a reality. Diane decorated a mantle for our wedding ceremony and I immediately cried when I saw her work--it was so beautiful and I felt so incredibly special. As I look at the first few wedding pictures I see all the beautiful details in her arrangements. Diane will make your event look beautiful (on any budget) and will truly work with you!

kes you feel like your wedding is the only wedding that matters. She took my vision and made it a reality. I have not stopped receiving messages on how beautiful everything was. Her work and professionalism is impeccable. I could not stop looking and smelling my bouquet all day, I was in love with it! When I walked into the reception hall I was floored by how amazing, beautiful it was. Thank you for being a part of my special day.

o flowers, but Diane put us at ease and was able to provide us with incredible florals even with our budget which was on the tighter end. Diane did an incredible job at being able to take our vision and bring it to life perfectly. Her flowers helped to set the tone we wanted for the wedding, they were beyond gorgeous and exactly what we wanted! We’d highly recommend Diane, she was a pleasure to work with!

met Diane at The Waterview bridal fair and was immediately impressed with her work, professionalism and talent. She met with my husband and I at her home office a few times and I can't say enough good things about her. She was patient, completely understand the vision we wanted to go for, and really worked with us to stick with our budget. My bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, my husband's boutonniere, and our centerpieces came out more beautiful than we ever imagined. We had a very specific fall vision and Diane really made that come to life. I'm just sorry it took me so long to write this review. I highly recommend Diane - she will not disappoint!

iately explained to Diane that we wanted this to be a classy affair, not costume-y, as many Gatsby-themed weddings tend to be. I’m not sure about others, but for us it was a bit of a surprise just how costly flowers can be, and since we were to have a day wedding, we relied on florals quite a bit (we didn’t have lighting to play with to dress up the room). We explained to Diane from the very first call that our budget for flowers was modest, probably more so than she is used to (if you’ve seen her website then you know she is capable of creating extraordinarily beautiful arrangements). But we took our chances anyways. We loved what we saw on her site and we also knew she has worked with the venue we picked (The Inn at Longshore in Westport, CT) countless times, as well as with our wedding planner (Amy Champagne Events). So we figured we were putting together a dream team. Diane was accommodating from the very first call, and moreover, she seemed excited to make our vision a reality. We sent her some inspirations, as did our wedding planner, and after having the first in-person meeting later on, we had complete confidence in her. Even after receiving the initial proposal, she seemed flexible to adjust things. Diane got creative in her use of ostrich feathers (a very Gatsby décor element), using just the right amount and complimenting their use with ivory and blush roses, gold vases, candelabra and votives. My bouquet was simply divine, accented with smaller ostrich feathers, as were my bridesmaids’ bouquets, the groom's, groomsmen's & dads' boutonnieres, moms' wristlets, etc. When we walked into the room on our wedding day, everything was exactly as we had envisioned – even more beautiful. And I can’t say thank you enough to Diane for working with us to make it all come together.

ower arrangements, rather than just strait bouquets for each table. My bouquet, as the bride, was amazing. She spent a lot of time talking with us about how our theme and colors could be carried throughout the design. When we arrived at the venue, our bouquets, boutonnieres, and carried flowers were already waiting for us. None wilted throughout the entire course of the night. She designed a beautiful Chuppah. She was also great about packing everything up and taking it away at the end of the night. She became like a friend throughout the process. I would recommend anyone getting married in the area she works to use her to design their wedding.

rt of her wedding. So I knew I wanted her vision at my wedding. What Diane created at my wedding was the most breath taking wedding reception, (honestly all my guests could not stop talking) was the sheer beauty she created! It was heaven on earth! Not only is her work exquisite but Diane herself is the most incredible, kind, supportive person! She makes you feel like family and I can go and on about her. I honestly was told by everyone at my wedding that the detail, aesthetic, and magical feel she created was something they would expect at the White House or a Hollywood levels events. She is the best!! Her work was beyond my expectations and I had my dream wedding because of her!

was so very helpful. As a designer I had a very specific vision in my head. I was nervous about whether a floral designer would be able to really get what we wanted. Diane not only got it, she ran with it, and exceeded our wildest expectations!!! The room was breathtaking! I mean I really gasped when I walked into the ballroom and saw what Diane and her team had created. She was so easy to work with and gave me us so much more than I expected. For example: There were extra orchids from the centerpieces, so she put a bloom at each place setting, of course asking us if we liked it. We LOVED everything!! Diane is a creative genius and gave us a beautiful and elegant wedding that was unique. All of our guests commented on what stunning arrangements there were.

t that she would be able to capture my vision (especially since I provided her with photos of my vision). My expectations were not met, especially considering how expensive her services are!!! After months of communicating with Diane about what I wanted, sending photos of ideas I had and speaking several times on the phone and meeting a few times at her house, I really thought she had a good grasp of what I wanted. Apparently she didn't!! I sent her a photo of EXACTLY how I wanted my bouquet to look, which was very romantic, light, and gardeny, with a few tiny tweaks, and got something completely off and totally different! I was very disappointed on the wedding day to receive that bouquet but there was nothing to do be done. Same with my bridesmaids bouquets; they were completely different from what we had discussed. She added purple roses in our bouquets when I requested light lavender (but I didn't want lavender roses, I wanted other lavender flowers or even lavender itself!) My centerpieces were very pretty and closer to what I had wanted, but again she added this purple in and it threw off the look completely. I also hoped that for the price the centerpieces would be bigger but they weren't. My Mandap (Chuppah) was pretty and was closer to expectations. But overall the price we paid and the value we got was disappointing. I had really hoped i would be able to see my gardeny, romantic vision on my wedding day with the flowers but this did not happen.

nd how the flowers were AMAZING. She was a pleasure to work with! I would use her again if I ever needed a florist.

em everywhere even though my budget wouldn't allow for that. Lisa worked within my budget and really provided the look I ended up loving. Perfect.

plan for hydrangeas, but the centerpieces I took home from the wedding are still looking gorgeous in my living room several days later. I told her my vision, and she added her own beautiful contributions and created exactly what I wanted. She is creative, attentive, and adept at listening to what the bride wants while being able to provide excellent suggestions. Everyone commented on how gorgeous my centerpieces and bouquets were. I read somewhere that brides often regret how much they spend on flowers; because Diane is so fair in pricing and so good at what she does I have truly zero regrets about my stunning flowers. They added so much to my wedding. She is a gem, and I strongly, strongly recommend her.

he wedding ceremony. It took our breath away! She transformed the Ballroom into the most elegant and romantic place any couple could ever imagine getting married in! We had discussed at prior meetings what we wanted and she took those ideas, added her own amazing personal touches and just ran with it!She is soo talented and such a visionary when it comes to planning a wedding! After the ceremony,while we were having cocktails in another room she took that same room and transformed it into something Magical!! It's one week later now and I'm still getting calls, texts and emails about how beautiful everything was! Flowers, candles, the right linens...but most of all her special touch was all we needed. It was beyond perfect. Thank you Diane! We couldnt have done it without you!!

sweet, passionate personality all rolled into one. The flowers she created for the wedding were beautiful... from the church to the reception. Her attention to detail is a gift and she created a very classy atmosphere and ambience (lights and flowers) to the whole event. From the first day we met her at her home, we knew she was our florist and we did not need to look for anyone else. We felt comfortable immediately that she will deliver. Our guests were all complimentary. Thanks, Diane, for making our wedding event extra extra special. You are a gem and a true find!!!!!

nted my ceremony and reception room to look like until I meet Diane. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to help guide me through the very over whelming process of choosing the colors, linens, lighting, design and layout of the day. I really just loved her instantly. She is genuinely excited to help plan your wedding and make it the day of your dreams. The ceremony room was a spectacular vision of orchids with the aisle covered with rose petals. It was such a glorious day already but seeing the ceremony room transformed only heightened my excitement as I walked down the aisle. The reception room was beyond beautiful as the arrangements of high and low centerpieces of purple orchids created the most incredible room. Not only did Diane and her team create a floral wonderland in the ceremony and reception rooms, she added to the effect in the bathroom. The bathroom was covered with flower petals. It was truly unbelievable sight to see. I cannot overly express how happy I was with everything. She handled everything from the lighting, chairs to the linens to our photo-booth. Diane and her team are Fabulous!

nchantment and sophistication and Diane nailed it. Her flowers and arrangements were romantic, enchanting, sophisticated and unique. She worked with us to fine tune the vision and was very flexible. She even let us provide some of the materials for the centerpieces and altar. More importantly, she was a pleasure to work with and we had a lot of fun! I give a big thumbs up!

her. She is caring, flexible and just so kind. Her creativity is unmatched and you can see, in every detail, how much she cares and loves what she does. She works within your budget and I truly feel like I got a great deal for all of the work she did for my very large wedding. I love Diane and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone :)

bout. She is very creative and passionate about her craft, which is wonderful. She was also very patient and understanding of a stressed out bride!

ly flexible working with us on price and also offering ideas and recommendations! There are a lot of little details that go along with the flowers and Diane made everything work seamlessly and easily! As I did most of the detailed planning, she not only helped with Flowers but also anything else I had a question on. She was fantastic! The proof was in the numerous compliments we received in regards to the flowers and decorations at the wedding! Until then I never realized people actually noticed those things and when I did I was ecstatic that we used Diane & Custom Floral Design!

d turned it into more than we ever imagined. The end results were simply amazing. All of our guests raved about the flowers. Most importantly Diane went above and beyond on the wedding day itself. She brought the best positive energry to the house when she delivered the flowers, helped the groomsmen with their flowers, and was there with a huge smile (and floral tissues) to keep us laughing before our trip down the aisle. I would recommend Diane to any bride who wants breathtaking flowers and hope to work with Diane again for future events!

how we wanted our flowers to look. We gave Diane some ideas during our first meeting and it was like she understood what we wanted even when we didn't know! Even though she was a bit more expensive than some of the other florists we had met with we decided to go with her because of her creativity and great reputation. We were not dissapointed. The centerpieces were better than she had described. The bouquets were gorgeous. She even created a large blanket of flowers (with succulents in them - my husband's favorite) for one of the front tables in our reception venue as a surprise! We got compliments on our flowers throughout the night, and we're still getting them a few weeks later. I was a bride who didn't really know exactly what she wanted in her flowers, but Diane gave it to me. I would guess that even if you know exactly what you want - Diane will make it better. Thanks Diane!

a florist, but a true artist. I knew she would be capture my vision like no one else would. I was looking for a romantic, elegant and vintage wedding and she knew from the moment we spoke what I was looking for. Aside from her amazing work, she has a fantastic bubby personality that I just loved so much. Her energy is amazing. Our wedding turned out amazing and if I could do it again, I would use Diane all over again!

knot and came across Diane Gaudett Floral Designs so I decided to give it a try. She was great through everything from the planning process through the execution of the set up on the wedding day. I could not thank Diane enough for her assistance in the day of chaos. Also I rented my linens through Diane which were ideal and helped to pull the decor together seamlessly. Thank you so much Diane.

to detail was incredible. She is friendly, organized and so easy to work with. Best vendor I had the opportunity to work with!

was very impressed when Diane brought the flowers the day of the wedding drenched from head to toe! Nothing was going to stop her from making my day amazing. She got the flowers to the church, got everyone pinned and lined up. She even made a "makeshift" boutonniere for my dad because the original was left at the house! It was to my surprise when I arrived at the church to see beautiful flowers on the altar and around our unity candle- of which I did not plan for. Diane also had flowers in the bathrooms at the reception- again which I didn't plan for. Diane worked with me on my budget and on what I had envisioned for my wedding. The flowers were unbelievably vibrant and completely breathtaking. I would highly recommend her for any occasion, especially if you want your wedding to be amazingly beautiful.

out of her way to make you feel comfortable and special on your big day. Diane made me feel like she was only working for me which eased my fears. The flowers were flawless. The table arrangements were perfect in white birch baskets and the girls' plum calla lilies were simple yet elegant and my bouquet was a masterpiece on its own. The boys had matching plum boutenieres and the church was ornately decorated with white and green flowers. I could not have asked for a better person to do my flowers... she made the day better with the flowers... and more importantly, you could see Sean and I in the flowers. She recreated our thoughts and images into beautiful arrangements.

e yourself the anxiety of searching for the best. Your search ends here. All the flowers, church, reception, bouquets, all were beyond my wildest expectation. I've never seen a bridal bouquet to compare to my daughter's, REALLY! When I got to the reception, my friend pulled me aside and told me to go look in the ladies room. WHAT? Diane had made it a fairy land of orchids and candles. I cannot begin to describe her talent and vision. Words just don't do her justice.

with her. She was able to take my daughter's and my vision and make it happen..with some surprise touches of her own doing! Her flowers were breath takingly gorgeous and really transformed an otherwise " blank" canvas into this magical enchanting ceremony- reception space..AMAZING!! I would highly recommend her work and not for a minute would I hesitate to use her again..someday!! I can't say enough!!

t suggestions along with a wide array of flowers to match our color scheme. We loved being able to see the actual size, shape, etc. of the centerpiece vases when we met with her in person. The day of the wedding, Diane brought the bouquets to the hotel room and when I saw my bouquet I was speechless! It was the most beautiful bouquet I had ever seen! Not to mention the rest of the bouquets, centerpieces and floral arrangements blew us away. Plus, a few days before the wedding I asked for a couple of adjustments and she made them without any hesitation! I think every guest at the wedding commented about the flowers being the most amazing display people had seen at a wedding! Thank you Diane, you made our wedding a day none of us will ever forget!

of our wedding, I just grinned from ear to ear. Everything…EVERYTHING…was just as I had imagined it…AND MORE!! My vision…my dream....had come true!! All throughout the night I would stop…look around…and just take in how beautiful everything looked. Diane has a modern and fun style. She presents herself this way…and her work is executed this way. She is very sweet and energetic…and will work with you until your vision is nailed down. I found choosing flowers to be the hardest part of wedding planning for the simple fact that there are no price tags. Be up front with your florist about your budget right from the start. Diane worked with us…remained within our budget…and our wedding was just as beautiful and elegant as we had hoped it would be!! I could not be happier with how everything turn out!! A big thank you to Diane for that!!

dding" they have ever been to! She co ordinated all the colors on my palette and the type of flowers we wanted in a very artistic unusual and breathtaking manner...it was a dream come true. But whatbmakes Diane so special is the warmth and passion she brings and the painstaking effort she put into not just the flowers and decorations but also the extent she went to make our daughter and son in law happy. They extremely concerned about the environment so she made sure that the 8 bridesmaids bouquets doubled up after the ceremony as the flowers which decorated the the guest tables; later Diane helped organize and have the organizers to pack the beautiful votives we chose together for our guest tables as wedding favors . She was expensive but worth every penny and took great pains to stay within our agreed budget and even handed out all the flowers to our guests after the wedding so that nothingmwould go waste. So many guests called to thank ua a week later and told us that the flowers were still in their homes!

but went above and beyond to help us fulfill all of our expectations. We are extremely pleased with her outstanding work and everyone was complimenting us on how stunning everything looked. We can thank Diane enough for all her help in such a special day for us. We will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her.
