Mohican Flowers of Cooperstown

y create beautiful centerpiece and bouquets & gave us great tips on where décor was needed in our venue. I would recommend them to anyone in the area- especially if you are having your wedding at The Otesaga!

wreath, brides bouquet and decorated lanterns with flowers for my bridesmaids. The lanterns were truly incredible and everyone loved how unique they were. Clair makes the whole process easy by having you create a Pinterest board with inspiration pictures. When I came into the shop, she has pulled different flowers I liked to make a sample bouquet. The flowers were delivered to the venue a few hours before the ceremony. Clair is quick to respond to emails and is extremely talented and helpful.

t into reality. The entire aesthetic of my wedding would not have been complete without the work Claire did with the flowers! I want to highlight a few aspects of the service we received from Mohican: Communication / Level of Service: Claire was very easy to get in touch with and very responsive at all times. From email exchanges, to phone calls with myself and my wedding planner, to finding me on Pinterest and creating boards to help with the process, everything was seamless. She checked in frequently enough that I felt like everything was under control and aligned to the vision we created, but not so much that it was overwhelming. Vision: As mentioned earlier, Claire totally got what I was going for. During our first meeting, she created quick arrangements on the fly to ensure she was grasping the ideas I was trying to convey. I always felt like we were on the same page. I also felt like I could lean on her expertise and trust her opinions to a) fill in the gaps where I really didn't know which way to go and b) redirect me in a new direction if she felt it would improve the overall look. The thing that resonated with me was that she was always willing to jump in and provide her opinion / apply her expertise, but always with the end game of making my ideas come alive - she was never pushing any other agenda aside from making my dream come to life. Quality: The actual execution of the floral arrangements was more than I could have hoped for. (I was absolutely obsessed with my bouquet!) Again, her passion shows through her work. Everyone was commenting on how gorgeous the flower arrangements were. She found the right balance for every piece - from the smaller aisle / table decorations, to the centerpieces, to the bouquets, everything was it's own distinct component to the overall look, but created an overall cohesive picture. Cannot recommend Mohican Flowers enough!!

ted. Her suggestions were always spot on. During our first visit, Claire provided us with examples of the things she thought we might like based on things we had talked about as well as a Pinterest board that we shared with her. The day of the wedding was executed perfectly. I was so impressed with all the flowers. She decorated the aisle for us with greenery and put together two lovely arrangements for the alter. She also created a beautiful spray arrangement for our welcome sign. The reception flowers were gorgeous as well. We had beautiful cocktail arrangements for the hightop tables. She built three stunning pieces of garland for our head tables, brought flowers for the cake and created centerpieces that I am still getting compliments on! My favorite part was my bouquet. It was the perfect size, exactly what I wanted and smelled amazing. The flowers were beyond my expectations and they were delivered with such ease. I would highly recommend Mohican Flowers! They were just fantastic.

em enough!

s also amazing with a bunch of personal touches, like Hidden Mickeys in the bridesmaids’ bouquets and accents for other items, like a pair of ski boots and ballet slippers to mark the ceremony aisle. When I took the flowers out the next day, I was so impressed with how much care she put into it, making little boutonnieres for the pointe shoes and little bouquets in water for the boots. Her knowledge was so extensive she also helped identify places I needed and didn’t need flowers, which I never would have thought of. There’s no doubt in my mind she’s the perfect florist for you if you’re getting married anywhere in the area!

a vendor we had to track down! After just one meeting and looking at the Pinterest board I made, Claire created the flowers of my dreams. I couldn't believe it when I saw the flowers, they were absolutely stunning! The bouquets, center pieces, corsages, boutonnieres, and alter flowers were perfect and we received so many complements! During the consultation Claire did a great job of giving us multiple options and was very respectful of our budget. Claire creates beautiful arrangements and is such a warm and kind person, I wish we lived locally so she could be our regular florist! I would absolutely recommend Claire and Mohican Flowers to anyone who is looking for a florist!

tain pieces the month before to make sure I liked everything. Their prices were also extremely reasonable. My Aunt, who is a wedding planner, was even raving saying this was the best florist she has ever worked with (and I agree)! Thank you Mohican for helping make our wedding day so special!

rstand what was important to us. They have a very quick turnaround time on the quotes, and even created a Pintest board of my wedding colors and flowers. I was able to add to the bard to show what I had in mind. This helped me stay organized and got me excited to see what they would create for our big day. Their customer services they provide is second to none and their attention to detail makes you feel like their only client. About a week before the wedding we got the final invoice for the flowers, and I had made a HUGE typo when requesting the baby’s breath. I typed I needed 50 steams of baby’s breath, which is more than anyone could ever need. Diana and Claire understood, and even though they had already ordered the flowers, they did not bill me for my mistake, but only what I needed. That moment of empathy and understanding is why you shop local, and more importantly why you shop at Mohican Flowers of Cooperstown for any floral needs.

e to make me happy which included inviting us to see the flowers the day before the wedding. If I had to do it again I would still choose Mohican Flowers and I can't say that for some of my other vendors. Thank you, Claire!!

and were so helpful along every step of the way. Claire was able to create our vision perfectly from our inspiration photos and by asking all of the right questions (as I was a slightly clueless bride). We were able to see a sample of one centerpiece a few weeks prior to the wedding to make any changes necessary and she also had us come in just a few days prior to the wedding for a sneak peak and to again make any changes we wanted. This really made me feel confident that everything would be perfect...and it was. Everything from the ceremony to the reception that they provided for us was beautiful and exactly what we envisioned- maybe even better. We felt like the pricing was very reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the flower and rentals (candelabras and vases). I would highly recommend working with Mohican Flowers for any of your floral needs in the Cooperstown area.

rrangements and bouquets were absolutely gorgeous, and we got tons of compliments from our guests! I would definitely recommend Mohican Flowers to anyone getting married in the surrounding area.

months after my wedding. The pricing was absolutely reasonable, the recommendations and knowledge were exactly what I needed, and best of all, I didn't have to worry about A THING on my wedding day - everything was where I needed it when I needed it, without me having to think twice. I HIGHLY recommend Mohican Florists for your wedding (or rehearsal...we used them for both) needs - they are phenomenal to work with!!

looking for flowers!!

detailed oriented. Kept me up to date and offered me amazing suggestions for how to optimize the flower arrangements for my particular venue. The flowers were stunning and I got more compliments on them than anything else. Thanks Mohican!

she came up with all these creative ways to make one bloom work in so many different ways for our wedding. Little did I know that this year was a disaster for peonies right around my wedding day. I had no idea until after my wedding because somehow Carol managed to still fill my wedding with my favorite flowers! I only found out after when I wrote her an email to thank her for all her hard work. They really made sure I wasn't freaking out more than I already was on my wedding day. They really went above and beyond in so many ways to make our wedding dreams come true. Our wedding colors were blush and gold. Even though Carol didn't have vases in the exact shade of gold we wanted in stock, she went to great lengths to paint and procure vases in the exact color we want while helping us fit everything into our budget. I also want to mention that we heard great things from other vendors we contracted with in Cooperstown for the wedding. The lady who helped me with arranging the wedding ceremony at St. Mary's Church told me how wonderful and generous Carol was when she ordered flowers from her for her husband's funeral many years ago. I will definitely recommend Mohican Flowers to anyone who is planning their wedding in Cooperstown!

ely recommend Mohican.

eir way to help set up some signs on the grounds of the church. I truly appreciate everything they did to make our special day perfect!! I would highly recommend Mohican Flowers.

ide with our daughter to achieve the most perfect floral arrangements for inside and outside of our wedding venue that were not only gorgeous but cost friendly. The bride's bouquet was stunningly beautiful, as were the flowers for the entire wedding party. I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful vendor to everyone. No matter how big or small your event, they just do spectacular work. Thank you so much, Mohican Flowers, for being such an integral part of our daughter's very special day!!

rrangements that I chose were not your typical wedding arrangements, I sent Claire pictures and right off the bat she totally got my vision. She made up a mock display, worked within a budget with her creativity, and let me know the total cost within a day. The floral arrangements were truly a work of art! They were delivered on time and exceeded my high expectations. Words cannot describe how extremely happy I am with Claire and Mohican Florists! I received so many compliments on the floral arrangements ! Excellent service and beautiful work! Thanks again! Diane and Russ

ing and instead I was able to add centerpieces. Everything was beautiful and delivered right on time. I will continue to use Mohican Flowers in the future.

ng able to just stop by the venue, florist, photographer etc.... But Claire and Carol of Mohican Flowers made the process stress free and easy! They responded to emails right away, thoroughly answering all of my questions. I found all of my bouquets, centerpiece and decor on Pinterest. I emailed all the pictures, met with them in person a month later and everything was exactly how I imagined! Everything came out absolutely perfect and beautiful! I could not have asked for a better florist! Aside from providing us with gorgeous flowers, they also helped us find our photographer and my hair/make-up artist which I couldn't thank them enough because being from out of town, my husband and I didn't know where to look. If anyone is considering having their wedding in Cooperstown, NY, I highly recommend Mohican Flowers, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Claire and Carol!

that I had. I loved working with Claire because she was very flexible with my schedule and I trusted her advice and opinion on flower choices. I would recommend Mohican Flowers to any bride in the Cooperstown area.

et. Claire and the whole team were able to tell us not only what would be in season at the time, but had some great ideas to help meet our wish, like using fresh herbs to add texture. And they were all so patient with us as we figured out what look we wanted. They didn't even bat an eye when I changed my mind about the color of the roses three times. (Thank you!!) The thing that really impressed me the most was how talented they are at bringing your dream to reality. Just before our meeting with them, I emailed a few photos I had found on Pinterest to give an idea of what we were looking for. When I went in for the meeting, sitting in a vase on the table was the exact bouquet I had been dreaming about just waiting for me. It was so much fun! One other big thing to know is since they are local to the area they know the many venue options very well. They can really give you an expert's opinion on what looks best and show you lots of examples. And on the big day they are so experienced at what they do you hardly even notice them making the place look magical. You simply could do no better than Mohican Flowers for your special day.

aire!

s amount of staging for any type of theme wedding and made our day magical. We gave her a group of pictures for inspiration and her Ideas of what to use for decorating and flowers were spot on. An absolute delight to work with and HIGHLY recommended! Many guests were asking about our wedding planner and I told them that Carol and I did it. Many thanks to Mohican!

expected. My bouquet was perfect, the tables looked amazing, and Carol added so many special elements that I hadn't even considered. She has a huge archive to pull from: she managed to find us a fire pit, a canoe, chalkboards, and many things beyond flowers. She is so easy to work with, and she really made my wedding look exactly like I imagined, but so much better. Couldn't have done it without her.

ot have asked for a better florist for the wedding and are so happy to have been able to work together. I would recommend them for any event!

they were absolutely breathtaking! Working with Mohican was one of my best Wedding experiences!

after store hours so that our meetings would be uninterrupted. She responded to my emails in a timely manner and made changes that I requested without hesitation. At the time of our first meeting she requested that I bring in pictures or pinterest boards and she was able to replicate what I had asked for. For a little bit of a fee she made me a trial bouquet that I brought with me to one of my dress fittings. This was a great experience for me because it gave me some relief knowing that Claire knew exactly what I wanted and the look/feel I was looking for on the wedding day. On the day of my wedding the site of the church almost brought me to tears. It was more than I could ever imagine. Claire, and the rest of the Mohican crew did an amazing job and I could have not asked for a better experience.

so much Claire for making my daughters dream wedding come thru!

o has a special event.

t of our wedding was well serviced --- from our initial meeting involving themes, ideas, etc. down to the transfer of the flowers from the church to the reception. We also had Mohican Flowers provide floral arrangements for our house, where we hosted the post wedding brunch. The arrangements throughout the wedding ranged from hand made wreaths, candle light centerpieces to tall entryway pieces. Their creativity isn't limited to flowers, as the demonstrated with their assistance at the reception venue the day of the wedding. Carol and her staff provided decorations for our nautical themed wedding that included boats for holding beer, nautical flags to decorate the reception room and lighting. Their familiarity with the church (The Farmer's Museum Church) was greatly appreciated, as was Carol's attendance at the actual rehearsal. She helped get us in line and to better understand how to perform the ceremony in this unique church. I can't say enough about our extraordinary experience with Carol and the staff at Mohican Flowers!

spent hours piecing together various items to create the EXACT look and feel that we wanted for our wedding. Carol even helped "conduct" our rehearsal, because she is simply THAT experienced. I would recommend Mohican to ANY Bride starting to plan her wedding! You were all truly fabulous. Thank you for your endless passion, dedication, and support. Each detail made our wedding flawless. - Britt & Dan

d helpful in making this happen. Truly went above and beyond all expectations I had. I also had them create my bouquets, bouts, and corsages for the wedding party, and they all turned out beautifully. They never made me feel bad about being cost-conscious and were 100% accommodating and attentive. You cannot go wrong by using Mohican Flowers!

door from making sample arrangements and ordering my favorite flowers! The peonies, roses, and hydrangeas were gorgeous and the service was excellent. I would recommend Mohican Florist in Cooperstown to all brides!

the bouquets--one less thing to worry about getting done on the day of the wedding!

based off of my Pinterest inspiration and she got it 100% right. Before the wedding I didn't have time to go and see the arrangements to change them or anything. The day of my wedding, the flowers arrived and it was the greatest thing ever! The bridesmaid's bouquets were gorgeous. My bouquet was absolutely stunning. The arrangements on the table were beautiful and even the flowers she put on the cake were exactly what I asked for. Mohican flowers gives attention to detail and for an out of town bride, I highly recommend their services. I especially recommend them for an Otesaga wedding because they really know the layout and where arrangements are needed. It was a delight to work with Mohican flowers! Thanks Claire!

ome. She made it so easy to decide on what we wanted and her ideas were great. I highly highly recommend them!! (I'm not sure how far they travel but they would be well worth travel!!!)

totally accommodating to my schedule when I was there, and available anytime through email. Claire was amazing, she executed my vision perfectly! I absolutely loved the flowers! I'll absolutely go back for all my Cooperstown flower needs.

ble. They were wonderful listeners and helped the bride visualize her ideas. Plus, if your wedding is at the Otesaga Hotel, they are right in town and have easy access to their supplies. The end product was breath taking and all items were exactly as planned. They are terrific!

t made the day. Mohican Flowers was always on time for appointments, gave important and enlightening insight and ideas, and took all the stress of the decorations off the bride, the family, and the wedding party. I would book them for ANY event!

d with my ideas and gave me what I asked for- but exceeded my expectations. They made my wedding the fairytale event that I envisioned!

area.

able to pull off an exact replica! When she wasn't sure of the location for our chutzpah at our venue she made a special trip that day to check out the layout, it really made us feel taken care of. She nailed every detail, and was great at letting our style shine! The flowers were a huge hit and all of my girls were thrilled to keep their bouquets :) I can't wait to see the photos! Thank you so much!

ul the flowers were. Dale also helped us with our favors and I completely trusted her using her creative genius!! There is no better florist to work with and I am so happy we chose Mohican for our wedding!

and they were so flexible and open to the idea. Carol took the time to listen to my taste and preferences, show me examples of different styles, and give me plenty of advice. She made a bouquet in advance and sent me a photo to figure out exactly what I like. A couple of days before the wedding, Carol and Claire made space for my mom, one of my best friends, and me to work and do our own flowers with their help and advice. They got flowers that we absolutely loved and totally understood the style we were going for. They provided beautiful mason and jam jars and when they ran out, Claire drove to her house to get some and even picked some flowers from her garden! I can't tell you how much I love flowers and how happy I was with our wedding flowers. My bouquet was absolutely perfect and everyone was raving about the flowers. They also made gorgeous boutonnières and corsages for A LOT of people, including a couple of babies and toddlers ;) Carol even gave me a giant sunflower as a joke since it's my favorite flower and we featured it prominently during the ceremony. In short, I could not recommend Mohican Flowers more. They are fabulous!

ns instead of taking charge. I don't plan on having another wedding but I will be using Mohican for any of my other events!

eautiful a week later! I can't recommend Mohican Flowers highly enough!!
