Isabelle created the most unique, and beautiful bouquet and boutinierre for our tiny elopement! It was so rewarding working with a vendor I share values with and supporting a local queer owned business. I can't wait to support Isabelle in the future for all my floral needs!
It was wonderful working with Isabelle and the Fairy Meadow Flowers team. If you are looking for beautiful, local, and sustainable flowers in CT, this is the perfect florist to work with! We didn't know what flowers we would have for the wedding until the day of the wedding, so you have to be comfortable with it being a surprise but we really wanted locally grown flowers so we were willing to be surprised and everything was beautiful and worked really well with our location and decor! Isabelle sent updates via email with what flowers they were growing at the farm. They provided flower crowns and decorated the archway for our ceremony as well as bouquets and boutonnieres and table bouquets. The ribbons on the bouquets were especially beautiful. Everything felt very personal and we especially liked that the flower vases and flowers were re-used and composted after the wedding.
Isabelle made every aspect of the florals for our wedding a true dream. From the start they were highly professional, caring, deeply creative, accommodating, beautifully communicative, and generally ideal. We had a very loose vision of what we wanted for our wedding flowers, and Isabelle helped us define that by asking clear and thoughtful questions and providing suggestions. Leading up to the wedding, they were in close contact even while handling the demands of running their business and growing all of their flowers locally/sourcing them in a sustainable fashion. We are in awe of all they do!!
Our flowers were beautiful and exactly what we wanted, and our guests and families remarked on how much they loved them. The wedding day itself was hot and we had two different venues for the ceremony and then the reception, and needed a bridal bouquet as well as flowers in lots of different places. Isabelle and their team handled this all so wonderfully and skillfully and we were stunned and delighted by each arrangement/bouquet/decoration they put together for the day!
As a queer couple with many queer, trans, and non binary friends attending our wedding, it was wonderful for us to know that we were not only supporting a queer-owned and local business but that the vendor involved with such an important part of our big day would be considerate and inclusive of all of our guests and of our own identities.
We also had the chance to see Isabelle working at another friend’s wedding and were so impressed not only by the elegance of the florals and design but by how dedicated they were and how kindly they treated and collaborated with their coworkers and employees.
Additionally, their pricing was unbelievably fair for the level of quality and professional communication they delivered. We have continued to rely upon Isabelle for arrangements when we’re visiting the New Haven area and the flowers are always strikingly beautiful, attuned to the season, and creative.
If you are looking for a florist who will not only make your wedding beautiful but also runs their business in a way that aligns with your values, communicates and works with deep care, and is generally wonderful, then Fairy Meadow Flowers are the ones for you! We would choose them again every single time.
Isabelle and Unison are the most incredible people and florists! Working with them was like working with an old friend. They just knew how to make everything exactly what we were looking for for our July wedding. They even took time to check in with me the morning of and added special touches from the venue to our flowers. Everything came out more wonderful than we could have even hoped for! We cannot recommend them enough!!
There are plenty of places you can go to get your flowers, but how amazing is it to find someone who grows their own, from the ground, locally? What Isabelle offers is truly special, and when I saw the result, I was absolutely thrilled. Isabelle was incredible to work with, and is a true artist. They are flexible, cheerful, and fun, but they also have opinions, which they’ll share if you ask, which is one thing I like in a vendor. We had a big wedding and they did a stunning job on everything, from the aisle arrangements, to the centerpieces, to my bouquet, to the outdoor decor. They even put a little marigold in each of our napkin arrangements and took care of our cake topper. No details was left untouched! Their prices are extremely reasonable in general, but especially considering the fact they grow everything themselves! If you’re into wildflowers, sustainability, and making your flower decisions in collaboration with a super cool person and the actual earth itself, you will be so happy with Isabelle.
Working with Isabelle is like working with a best friend for your flowers. If you are into wildflowers and seasonal florals, they are the perfect vendor! I had done some research on their florals on their instagram and when I tell you the flowers I received for my wedding didn't disappoint, I really mean it. They were exactly what I was hoping for!
Also, Isabelle was more than professional when an emergency came up on the wedding day and one of the floral vans was hit by an ambulance. They calmly called me, informed me of the situation, and let me know what the best next steps were. I was just glad everyone was okay, but Isabelle made me feel completely taken care of, even in the midst of such a scary emergency! The bouquets were a particular favorite of mine...I think Isabelle has an incredible eye for beautiful wildflower bouquets and I LOVED the ones they created for my bridal party and especially, me!
I hope to continue getting flowers from Isabelle in the future, not just for special occasions, but also just on a weekly basis because they really are so beautiful and add so much joy to my life. I cannot thank them enough for making my special day even more special with my favorite flowers.
There is absolutely no need to consider other florists -- Isabelle and Unison are incredible. They were, frankly, an absolute joy to work with and the arrangements they created for my spring wedding were unique, creative, elegant, and environmentally friendly. Everyone at our ceremony, waitstaff included, and everyone who saw pictures commented on our flowers. As a gardener and forager myself, flowers were the most important part of the wedding ceremony for me. Isabelle and Unison exceeded all my hopes. I cannot recommend them strongly enough.
Isabelle and her team are absolutely extraordinary. Choosing to work with her was possibly the best choice I made over the course of all of our wedding planning. Our consultation call lasted over an hour and she asked the kinds of questions that only a true artist knows how to ask. The bouquets she and her team created were more beautiful than I can even convey, colorful and organic. She also helped design our altar, which was truly extraordinary. I couldn't recommend Best Friends Flowers more. They're the best florist in CT, hands down.
Isabelle (and her team) was the dream floral team for our wedding. Best Friends Flowers is committed to sustainable growing and making their business a reflection of their values. From the solid foundation of this small business, the magic blooms! The flowers for our wedding were amazing and perfectly inspired by our setting and us as a couple. Isabelle was easy to communicate with, happy to discuss ideas, sent Pinterest boards that I could add to, and importantly for me- she was willing to take my very general thoughts and turn them into the perfect bouquets, amazing boutonnières, a magical wedding arch, and lovely table decorations. I realize I’m using a lot of superlatives here, but this business deserves it! Thank you for our flowers- we will remember them forever!
Isabelle and team went above and beyond with their flowers! Isabelle was truly a joy to work with and kept me updated every step of the way. The flowers were gorgeous and original. Isabelle listened to what I was imagining and made it happen. We were so lucky to have Best Friends Flowers.
Our wedding was virtual, and I can't tell you how many people messaged me commenting on the flowers! They were perfect and beautiful. Isabelle is a pleasure to work with, communication was great, and she even had to deal with a hurricane! The rain didn't stop her from making our wedding magical with the gorgeous flower arrangements. Do yourself and favor and hire them today!!!
I spent months looking for a florist for our wedding. I wanted a florist who was committed to sourcing as locally, sustainably, and seasonally as possible. I couldn’t find ANYONE until I found Best Friend’s Flowers. Isabel was a breeze to work with and she provided the most beautiful bouquet I had ever seen with so, so many wildflowers. She also provided glorious table arrangements that every one of our guests loved. People couldn’t believe how incredible our flowers were and truthfully, neither could I. Isabel was collaborative, kind, and so, so supportive. It’s almost a month after our wedding and I still have a few of the table arrangements going strong in their vases! I would 100% recommend this vendor and I feel beyond lucky to have found this magical little company.
Isabelle and Unison are truly a power couple. We wanted to work with colorful, creative, earth-loving people for our wedding flowers, and we got that. We also loved supporting a small queer-run flower business rather than one of the big guys. They were super kind about all of the changes due to the pandemic and still pulled off a gorgeous day for us. Y’all are the best. Thank you so much again.
Isabelle was a dream to work with! I definitely recommend Rainbow Flowerworks for your wedding, especially if you are trying to make the day elegant but also FUN! Isabelle's flowerworks are just that, imaginative works of art that transform ordinary spaces into magical ones. She has a great sense for how to make an arrangement feel dynamic and alive. we ended up incorporating a lot of aromatic herbs along with the flowers which made everything feel extra special. I dried my bouquet and will treasure it forever. 5 stars!
I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Isabelle! She brings such creativity, positivity, and overall floral magic that it was such a delight being able to bring some of the visions I had to life with her. I sent her some pictures but asked her to run with some ideas that she had and she made me feel so much at ease - I never worried about this part of our wedding day! She really puts a personal touch on her work. I would absolutely work with Isabelle again!
Isabelle was a member of my wedding party & designed my bouquet. I loved it! So many colors/textures.
The most gorgeous flowers ever!
Having Isabelle as our floral designer was one of the major highlights of our wedding celebration. Isabelle listened to us and created exactly what we asked for, only better! The flower design was whimsical, colorful, and wild, everything we wanted. At the wedding, Isabelle was present and attentive, even making my wife a new flower crown after she danced so hard hers fell off and got stepped on! It was important for us to make sure our wedding day stayed in line with our values, and Rainbow Flowerworks made that easy. Having local, organically farmed and wildcrafted flowers surrounding us in color added such incredible magic to our wedding day. It was worth every penny. We are so lucky to live near such an incredible farmer and floral designer who truly does it all, from seed to bouquet. If you are getting married in Asheville, there is no question, you should hire Rainbow Flowerworks. The most beautiful flowers, and no ethical dillemas! Since the wedding, I have joined the Rainbow Flowerworks bouquet CSA because having Isabelle's beautiful arrangements in my home reminds me of my wedding and brings brightness into my day everyday.
