Petals

ss. I had convinced myself that I could get by with doing my own flowers (yeah… big mistake I thankfully was able to correct). The first time I spoke with Michelle, it felt so incredibly easy to connect. She completely understood the vision and was so thoughtful in how she approached the different design elements. Throughout the process, she would update her proposal with different pictures that gave me the reassurance she knew exactly what I was looking for. And seriously - the flowers were STUNNING! I couldn’t get over it! The archway was absolutely gorgeous, the bouquet was beautiful, and the table decorations were amazing. Everything worked so well. Additionally, she worked with me on some creative ways to incorporate some additional floral touches throughout the venue. I’m so incredibly grateful that I found Michelle. She was a joy to work with, put me at ease with her process, was so kind with how she approached my budget and the options available to me, and created such an incredible event with her floral design. If you’re still reading this review…. Stop and just contact Michelle for your floral needs. You absolutely won’t be disappointed.

ltiple phone calls with us to help us hone our ideas, and then presented us with a detailed proposal so that we would know just what to expect. However, our wispy and wild florals and ferns ended up being so much better than we had even dreamed of. Each table arrangement (all together over 60 individual bottles!) was its own little artistic, expertly assembled masterpiece. My bridal bouquet, and our corsages and boutonnieres were gorgeous and in exceptional condition. Michelle was also responsive, gave us such a reasonable price, and was extremely helpful on our wedding day with the setup of our arbor decor. I cannot recommend Petals highly enough!

elle after talking to her. She takes the time to get to know the couple, hear what they like and what they don't - in our own words. Then, she built a proposal that included 5-10 options for each category that we wanted to purchase (bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages, arbor pieces, aisle decorations). This proposal was beyond helpful. It included images of the bouquet style, a break down of each flower with an image of each, notes about how she could/would adjust, and a price. This allowed us to learn what we truly liked, where we wanted to spend more and how we might adjust. Then, we were able to go into our next meeting and make informed adjustments. Michelle also helped us by suggesting tweaks that she felt we might like as we discussed our thought process, so that by the end of the call I felt confident and excited that we had chosen the perfect options to capture the "vibe" we were hoping for. Michelle's pricing is reasonable and she also suggested options for us to save money as well (ie. bringing our own shepherds hooks, so that we didn't need to pay delivery/pickup fees). She never pushed us to spend more, it felt like she truly just wanted us to have a pleasant experience-she even insisted on pinning all the boutonnieres on the men to ensure that they were straight-and stay straight all day. Michelle made the process so fun and empowering.

e on the phone we were really on the same page. With her creative guidance and knowledge of flowers, our "rustic chic" fall wedding really became what we wanted it to be.

ions, and ideas (how fun it was to choose!) -- and when Covid-19 changed our plans completely, she easily reworked the proposal to fit our new elopement spot. She created numerous different pieces for our elopement -- from arbor flowers to a stunning bouquet, and many other arrangements to decorate numerous different dining and cake takes, to even last minute hair flowers for our wedding guest -- each arrangement was vibrant, creative, and truly magical. Michelle's eye and talent for flowers and for taking care of her brides is unmatched! Thank you, Michelle, for making our day so special and beautiful!

n our budget. When I saw all of our floral arrangements, bouquets/boutonnieres, and greenery the day of our wedding, I was stunned at how beautiful everything turned out. Truly better than we imagined! Also, we were married on a hot day in August and she worked hard to make sure our flowers stayed in the best shape despite the heat. She did an amazing job - I wish I could've kept my bouquet forever!

d within our budget. She was knowledge and always easy to get ahold of! The day of, I was blown away with seeing our vision come to life. She added to the venue but didn’t take away from the venue and views (we got married at Killington on top of the mountain.) The colors, texture and scents were everything! I can’t say enough about Michelle and her team for everything they did for our wedding! She has an amazing eye and gift for Florals! THANK YOU!

ety of centerpieces for us and tied in the neutral blush colors of our wedding beautifully! I met with her in person, but also was able to coordinate via phone and email since our venue was over an hour away. I cannot imagine not having had her touch on our special day now. Without her the ambience would not have been nearly as beautiful and romantic! She made the day easy for us and I highly recommend her to anyone for their wedding!! We couldn't have been happier!

ommodate our last-minute requests, when we realized we'd forgotten flowers for our own table! The bouquets, table displays, and arbor were all stunning. We can't recommend her enough!

planning from across the country. She was patient with me as I struggled to articulate exactly what I wanted, and the end result was better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Michelle and wish I could do it all over again just to have her flowers again.

ures, sizes, shapes and colors that all looked fantastic together. I cannot thank her enough for each and every beautiful arrangement she did for us.

ked with us to produce luscious and elegant floral arrangements. There is not one thing I would have changed and I am so appreciative of her hard work and dedication to making the wedding memorable. What a top-notch professional!

gives great advice and thinks of things you'd never think of as a rookie wedding thrower). I couldn't quite articulate what I wanted for flowers or centerpieces. All I kept saying was, "I like green and cream and white." Michelle took a look at a Pinterest board I made and from then on it was like she was in my head: she knew exactly what look I was going for and created beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, dessert and card tablescapes... it looked magical. All of the pieces were arranged beautifully. Michelle took so many things into careful consideration -- the setting, my personality, the color scheme, the budget -- and the entire time I knew I could completely trust her instincts and style choices. Our guests loved what she did and our families constantly talk about the flowers in the pantheon of compliments: Amazing food, great music, and incredible flowers. I recommend Petals without reservation or hesitation. Michelle is fantastic.

orced us to change plans last minute. Because I was planning the wedding from out of state it was important for me to work with someone familiar with the venue. She went by to check lighting and stop by the venue many times without me there, which was incredibly helpful. I recommend her 100%.

wers!

honesty. When I wanted out-of-season flowers, she let me know what would and would not be possible. She also offered me wonderful alternatives that still fit perfectly with my overall vision. I got to know Michelle even better after Hurricane Irene. We were forced to postpone our wedding and Michelle was stuck with some of the flowers she’d already purchased for our original wedding date. She donated those flowers and her time to another couple. Her professionalism, kindness and knowledge of flowers make her the perfect choice for any couple planning their wedding.

going for.

when the flowers were delivered. She completely saw my vision for the wedding everything was beautiful. I would definitly recommend her for brides in the area.

rs such as hairdressers and make-up. But her bouquets for the bride and attendants were simply beautiful. And the church arrangements, people were talking about long after the wedding. We could not have imagined anything more lovely. We highly recommend Petals if you are having a VT wedding.

esired, she often didn't respond to emails for a long time. There was some frustrations on the day of the wedding but we felt the overall product out weighed the frustrations along the way.

orgeous. She throws in extras at all the jobs she does - for me she made me two bridal bouquets to choose from and let us keep the second one which we used in a vase at the cake table, it looked amazing. She was very helpful about working within our budget. Michelle is a gem!
