Dutch Bloemen Winkel

! We had so much fun speaking with Carrie and sharing our vision, and watching her creative mind bring it all to fruition. What DBW offers is farrrr beyond “just flowers,” they curated our entire aesthetic, and it was breath-taking. Our guests were kind of shocked by how often I said “Yeah, our florist covered that.” They offer as much (or as little) as you envision (flowers, table-settings, decorations, lighting and all the extra touches you can imagine. The communication and flexibility was fantastic. Also, Carrie single-handedly encouraged us to have our wedding outside. It was November in NH, and it was a bit chilly. We were concerned about the older crowd, and she just looked at us and went “Today is about you….it is absolutely gorgeous outside, everyone will be fine.” I have never been more thankful for that exchange, because our wedding WOULD NOT have been the same (or the pictures), if we played it safe and stayed inside. Obsessed, DBW Forever.

chusetts and DBW is based in New Hampshire, Carrie was always willing to work around our schedules to plan in person or virtual meetings and made us feel comfortable throughout the planning process. We loved that when we went to meet with Carrie, we found a local, independently owned shop that everyone in the community loved, as was evident by the many customers entering that Carrie and her associates knew by name. However, despite the community-tied feel of this shop, do not be fooled into thinking that they are a small operation! Carrie and her crew provided everything that we needed for a wedding with over 200 guests! Although we knew that our flowers would come out wonderful, on the day of, our arrangements surpassed all of our dreams. Carrie and her crew created beautiful matching bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, urns, table arrangements, an arch and even provided flowers for our cake. Each and every item was gorgeous. Carrie and her crew went above and beyond to ensure that our arch stayed put on our windy rooftop ceremony site and even helped us to stay within our budget by transferring in items from the ceremony to the reception. We cannot recommend Carrie and Dutch Bloemen Winkel enough!

ers and centerpieces. My bouquet was exactly what I dreamed it would look like, and I couldn't have been happier!

res, to my center pieces and more they did a fantastic job with taking my idea and making it a reality!! Thank you all for your hard work and we can't wait to use your shop for our anniversary flowers!

old weather to make sure they lasted longer. We can’t recommend them enough!

d she took it from there - she nailed it! And she delivered our flowers right on time to our venue so we did not have to worry about anything. We also had flowers on our cake, which she coordinated with our cake vendor. Would highly recommend Dutch Bloemen Winkel!

her days off!). The flowers came out stunning. They definitely exceeded our expectations. Our flowers were fresh and vibrant, and came to a reasonable price. Our dog was in the wedding and Carrie made her an adorable floral collar! All ceremony decorations were repurposed for the reception and they looked amazing throughout the entire night. Thank you Carrie, we are so happy we chose you as our florist and would hire you again in a heartbeat!

equests and needs. Even when we made last minute requests, they were able to make them happen. One of my favorite part about working with Carrie was the amount of options she provided. We were not really sure where we wanted to go with the table displays, centerpieces, other decorations in the tent, etc. but she had all these options to share and help us think about what made the most sense. This also made it easy, because she owned a number of different centerpiece designs and other decorations to use, but had a whole network of connections if you wanted something else. As for price, they were very reasonable and were great to work with if you had a budget. Carrie was awesome to work with, STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

rest from there. The quality of the florals when they were delivered were A+ and she absolutely nailed it! I wish my bridal bouquet lasted forever, I really loved the flowers used and how easy it was to do business with Dutch Bloeman Winkle.

e all gorgeous!

rangements were absolutely stunning and she made it so we didn't have to lift one finger to make the entire ceremony beautiful. She was super helpful along the way with suggestions and price points. The bouquets were so well put together and she was able to match the colors perfectly to my wife's bridesmaid's dresses. Will 100% recommend Carrie and DBW.

poke to Carrie on the phone, she was kind, funny and extremely accommodating- I knew I was in great hands. She made every step of the process so unbelievably easy. I had a very specific vision for my wedding and the DBW team hit the nail on the head. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything looked wonderful. The week before my wedding, I had to replan my ceremony- location and all. My florals for the ceremony completely changed and Carrie was so extremely helpful and accommodating. She was truly the MVP of my wedding day! There aren’t enough stars for this team!

and other table decor that could be incorporated into our floral design, which was really helpful. Their delivery and set-up service really allowed us to enjoy the day and not worry about decorating our venue, and they even stuck around for the ceremony so they could move our ceremony flowers from the arbor and aisle into our reception venue during our outdoor cocktail hour. By the time we got back to our reception venue the next morning to pick up some remaining items, there was already someone there from DBW to pick up the items we had rented from them. I would highly recommend working with them for your floral needs!

l! In addition to the amazing flowers, Carrie and her team went above and beyond to help make our day special. We had an outside ceremony and due to the weather there was a chance we would have to move the ceremony inside. Carries team waited at the venue until the ceremony started just in case the large (and beautiful!) ceremony flower arrangement needed to be moved inside at the last minute. They also brought umbrellas for us to use. Their kindness was just so over the top wonderful! If you are getting married or having a special event, we highly recommend Carrie and the team at Dutch Bloemen Winkel.

s received from our guests. Carrie was very easy to work with and also super helpful with recommendations for other vendors, dining venues, etc (this was a destination wedding for us. So not being from the area this time was very valuable)

nd fairy lights absolutely MADE it the magical experience we hoped for. Carrie is truly an artist. I love flowers and color and I came to her with a few pics of colorful wildflower themes, and she certainly delivered - mindful of budget, incredibly helpful with her knowledge of the venue, and listening and guiding with her expertise. Meeting with her in person was really helpful for us. DBW also provided us with colored napkins, arbor, centerpiece materials, and glass bottle rentals. Carrie is on-site herself to set up and goes above and beyond - even sourcing local greenery to help me with a last-minute add. I visit the DBW shop anytime I'm in northern NH and love everything they do!

angement for my wedding that was exactly what I hoped for. Carrie is also so kind and chill - exactly the vibe I needed for my big day! I very much recommend Dutch BW - gorgeous flowers and great customer service!

our color scheme. Carrie also did the potted flowers and flowers around our home where we hosted a party after the wedding--the flowers were stunning! Carrie was extremely attentive to detail. She came to our home a couple of times to discuss what we had imagined. She made sure we understood her vision. Thank you so much Carrie, your flowers were so beautiful and made our wedding day that much more special!

hen I found out she can also help with the small details like place cards, signage and table accessories. She was super responsive in her communication and checked in on the day of the wedding to see if anything else was needed. I would recommend Carrie and DBW to anyone planning a wedding and I'm so glad I get to keep in touch and use her services to send flowers to family members who live near her shop.

few colors and flowers I liked and she created the most beautiful decorated arbor, aisle decor and centerpieces for our ceremony and reception - I could not believe how beautiful and perfect everything turned out!! Would 100% recommend and use them again!

vered and in place while I was busy getting ready. Totally reasonably priced as well! 100% recommend!!

t was so thoughtfully moved to our reception space. Gorgeous work and a pleasure to work with.

loral dreams were coming true. I showed her my Pinterest board, hoping it would serve as inspiration, but I never imagined that I could actually have those same beautiful arrangements myself... in real life! My bouquet was so beautiful that I wish I could have preserved it forever. After our ceremony, Carrie even took the extra time to move an entire floral arrangement from the ceremony arbor to the fireplace mantle in our reception dining room so that we could repurpose the flowers inside. It was flawless! I wish I had more occasions that required me to order floral arrangements, because I would absolutely love to have more of Dutch Bloemen Winkel’s designs in my life.

ite Mountains. Carrie made my dreams become a beautiful reality and honestly, it was even better than I was imagining. Not only were the results beautiful, Carrie was amazing to work with, even with all of the craziness of 2020. If you are getting married in the New England area, definitely consider Dutch Bloemen Winkel as they are truly amazing!

g I have ever laid eyes on. Carrie took my ideas and preferences and turned them into something truly magical. She went above and beyond for us and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

on for our day; although, I feel like I could have given her no guidance and the florals still would have been magical. I was surprised and very thankful at how respectful she was with managing our budget. Rather than just wanting to sell, sell, sell the most expensive options, Carrie helped identify ways to get the most out of every element, while still managing our budget (including repurposing all the ceremony florals for our reception). Choose Dutch Bloemen Winkel for your florals - you will not regret it!

ond we sat down with Carrie that all changed. I immediately felt like she could read my mind and had a 1000% handle on my vision. Not sure how she does it folks!! Come September, 11 months later, boy did she deliver. We had the most floral that pulled together all of the little details we mentioned during our meeting - even better than we expected! Our venue asked me if they could use the photos from our wedding of Carrie's work for their marketing materials. THAT is saying something! On top of the amazing floral design. I felt like I had an all-star professional in my corner during the planning process and the day of our big day. I had a final touch base with Carrie and her team and even mentioned a few last minute requests and they completely took care of it all, with enthusiasm. THAT is what a bride needs on her side. Not only are you paying for floral, set up and the design, but you are also hiring a caring professional to be on your side during a pretty stressful time. Summary: Our vision was perfectly executed, the end product exceeded all of our expectations AND any problems that came up day of were solved for us without question. You won't regret working with this amazing team and their fearless leader!

ways envisioned. She is able to take an idea you have or a Pinterest inspiration board and put it to life. I am still obsessed with our flowers that are still looking gorgeous almost two weeks ago. I was so impressed by her team and their work. Would HIGHLY recommend.

nd beyond for us. Best decision we made!

ctures. Carrie is very punctual and professional and left no detail unnoticed. I felt at complete ease that she would do a fantastic job from the moment we met! She also agreed to put flowers on our wedding arch on top of Wildcat Mountain, which means they went up on a gondola and found a way to secure the flowers against the wind.

to have them on our side for our big day. We met with Carrie multiple times before the wedding day, and she helped us get to exactly what we wanted, while offering her expertise along the way. Carrie went above and beyond for us and we are truly thankful for her talents!

ead my mind and made my bouquet such a bright array of colors and just a tad wild. They were a stand-out feature of the day.

that was it! I was blown away on my wedding day when I saw my bouquet - it was absolutely perfect! I couldn’t have imagined it better!! It had my favorite flower (Iris) and it was beautifully paired with several other gorgeous flowers. Our center pieces were stunning in their little birch boxes. We also asked Carrie to make corsages for our moms, and single stem flowers with ribbon for the little girls who held our rings. Everything was so perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better florist!!

rrie and her team were able to pull from all my random flower ideas and photos to create the most perfect florals for us including the MOST amazing bridal bouquet and centerpieces. The colors made everything pop and were totally affordable and exactly what we had envisioned for our big day. Carrie was able to work within our budget and was super flexible with any changes we had as well. Carrie was also super communicative and we even bonded over our love of french bulldogs! Carrie delivered flowers on time at different locations, even despite a winter storm and no power! We would highly recommend Dutch Bloemen Winkel for your big day without any hesitations!

ght questions to get a feel for what you want and don't want. They do more than just flowers and were able to add coverlets to my reception tables which made the atmosphere of my venue so much better! DBW providing Set up and break down was awesome, since I was planning a destination wedding.

ion of what we wanted. My husband and I had a small ceremony and dinner (around 20 people) but she was beyond thrilled to help us. We had some centerpieces around the ceremony/reception area as well as our GORGEOUS bouquets and boutonniere. Bill and I are a funky couple and big Dungeons and Dragons nerds so when we handed her a set of dice we had actually played with and asked them to be integrated into the boutonnieres she was thrilled! Also- she made me cry with my bouquet. It was luscious fall colors with splashes of cream... beyond anything I could imagine and on top of it all she added a small charm photo of my mother who had passed away onto my bouquet so I could carry her with me on my big day. Definitely swing by the flower shop, say hello to Carrie (and maybe her dogs Tulip and Toad) and see for yourself the amazing work her and her team do.

h other, truly a dream team of vendors! Carrie was incredibly responsive and helpful over the 10 months we worked with her, and even made sure we had a place to send questions during her leave and when the store was closed for vacation! She helped us work within our budget based on what we wanted, and happily allowed us to change the items and counts around many times. We knew almost nothing about flowers going into the wedding planning process, but Carrie is incredibly skilled at translating the "inspiration" photos we send (which also changed over time) into a beautiful vision for our day. The Dutch Bloeman Winkel team was wonderful to work with on the day of - they did all of the ceremony and reception set up, and delivered the personal flowers to our rooms. They even returned after the reception to transfer the ceremony flowers to double for the reception! In addition, they responded to a request from my mom literally on the day of after they had dropped off the flowers to switch her and my Grandma's pin corsages to wrist corsages because she was worried about the pins. Incredible service and beautiful work, we honestly could not have asked for more from a florist!

e and the team created amazing florals to fit my winter wedding. Everyone was raving about our bouquets, centerpieces, and all the floral decor. DBW exceeded my expectations, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with them!

aspect of your wedding to plan because you can’t see really what it will look like until the wedding. I was nervous at first, but after my first meeting with Carrie, I knew we were in great hands. During our meeting, we chatted through details and Carrie came up with lots of fun ideas that I hadn’t even thought were possible. I had pinned a picture of some striped fabric on a gazebo on Pinterest and after Carrie saw it, she had the idea to construct the same for the gazebo we were getting married at and even make sure it was portable so it could be moved over to the entrance of our reception tent. When they say that they are a full-service florist, they absolutely are! I was sent our floral list a few weeks before the wedding and I was able to provide any feedback I had and it was updated with any changes easily. I used personalized table names that I ordered through Etsy and Carrie set them up on each table to ensure they looked great with the flowers, candles, runners and napkins she was already placing. My mother in law used DBW for our rehearsal dinner as well. She worked with Carrie to make sure the flowers complimented those for the wedding, but weren’t the exact same arrangements. DBW turned our rehearsal dinner space into an absolutely gorgeous spot. They also reused the flowers from the rehearsal dinner to embellish our cocktail hour space. We had our dog in the wedding and Carrie made a beautiful flower collar for him to wear. She even wanted to be the one to put it on him to ensure it stayed. They absolutely went above and beyond for our wedding. We are so appreciative for all the little details that were executed flawlessly.

t like I imagined.

ieces, and accents to make the vision come to life. The flowers were so colorful and fresh looking, and I loved knowing that some of them were grown locally and picked just for the event. Not only did they make the centerpieces they also helped out on creating a flower wall and cake flower accents, and decorated by reception with colorful hanging lanterns and pretty voltives on the table. Carrie was a mazing to work with, promptly returned all of my emails and was super organized throughout the whole process. SO glad I found DBW as a vendor, highly highly recommend for any bride in the valley area.

breath away. We had a beautiful arbor decorated with tumbling wild flowers to get married under, farm tables impeccably decorated with wildflowers and tea lights.. everywhere I looked there were just little touches I would never have even thought of myself. It was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Not only on our wedding day was everything perfect, but from our first meeting with Carrie on we felt like we were in good hands. She helped us find an amazing wedding planner, the perfect baker, recommended a caterer after ours fell through at the last minute, and completely put my mind at ease and got our wedding back on track! Just an amazing experience. I can't recommend them enough!!!
