ore) come to life! She was so easy to work with, and truly went above and beyond in what we wanted the flowers and decor to be for our wedding. She elevated the beauty of the venue (barn) and added subtle but needed greens in places to really enhance the space! We really appreciate Sue and all of the beautiful work she and her team did for our wedding!

epth. I got to talk to her and have our first meeting at the tasting at MVM. It lasted about 10 minutes. I showed her inspiration pictures, and described the colors and tried to describe my vision. When I finished my very long description, she said, “Ok, so you’re looking for something like . . “ and went on to describe exactly what I had been having problems putting into words!! I felt so confident that we never really talked about it again!! LOL (I’m sure you can, she is the sweetest, nicest woman ever, I just didn’t feel the need, there were so many other things to think about and she seemed to have it all covered!) When people asked me what my flowers were going to look like, I would just laugh and say I didn’t really know! (I was doing a multi-colored wildflower look, and I didn’t have specific flowers I wanted, just the color profile) Can I say, that I was BEYOND delighted at what Sue did for all the flowers at the Wedding. The centerpieces were exquisite and even better than what I could have imagined in my head. They worked with both the room and the ambiance I wanted to project. The flowers for the arch at the ceremony were lush and made the pictures look magical. She truly went above and beyond to make things beautiful for my wedding and I am so grateful that I picked her!!

rcase garland, Sue outdid any expectation we had for our holiday-themed wedding. The mantel and staircase garland took my breath away. Many of our guests commented on the beauty of the flowers! Sue's work is incredible!

My husband and I got married at Mountain View Manor in Glen Spey, NY in September of 2019. We are not local to that area so we relied on the venue for many of our vendor choices. They highly recommended Sue from Floral Cottage Weddings, and we hired her based on that recommendation. We met with her once or twice prior to our wedding. Since I am not from that area I didn’t have the option to have her create any samples for me to see. Honestly I preferred it that way because I really didn’t want to have to make too many decisions. I explained that since I was getting married in September, I did not want pastels (light pinks, light yellows, lavender, white), but that I really don’t like the fall colors either (browns, golds, and dark purples). I didn’t give many specific requests for certain flowers other than ranunculus. Basically, I didn’t even know what I wanted, and I was worried that I wasn’t giving Sue a clear enough picture of what I was hoping for. She actually seemed to immediately understand me though. She said that she could design my wedding flowers using “summer fall” colors, incorporating ranunculus. When she said that, I felt so at ease. It was like she knew what I wanted, even though I didn’t know how to explain it!! I chose gold goblets for the centerpiece containers, requested that she wrap my bouquet stems in a piece of my grandmother’s dress, and left the rest of the design to her. The result was amazing. My bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning. There is no other word for it. The “summer fall” color scheme she put together was spectacular, and really felt appropriate for September. Not spring or mid-summer, but not fall either! She did a wonderful job wrapping the stems with the piece of my grandmother’s dress. The centerpieces were completely outstanding and really made the whole reception room look amazing. I gave zero input regarding what I wanted the corsages and boutineers to look like, and what Sue created was so intricately and delicately put together that I was just in awe. The flowers over our altar made a statement, and the shepherd’s hooks lining the seating area were so cute and cheerful!! The small bud vases that I asked her to fill each had a few cute sprigs of different things and brightened up all of the outdoor tables and some of the mantles and bar tops. Although we didn’t discuss size or volume that much during the planning process, I feel that everything I received was HUGE, and way bigger than I ever would have expected. I was literally in shock when I first saw everything, and then practically in tears. Sue runs a wonderful business. She is helpful, responsive, and reliable, and the value for what she delivers is unbelievable!! She is extremely talented and her creations are masterpieces! On top of that, it’s clear that she loves what she does. She gets along with all of the other vendors, and she really loves the brides and their families. She actually went out of her way to ensure that I had a few flowers at the venue for a dinner I hosted the night prior, and also left our centerpieces on site for the following day through our brunch. It was so sweet!! My family enjoyed working with her, and I love to stay in touch with her via email and social media. I highly recommend using her for your wedding or event!!
