Carla did an amazing job with all of the flowers! Everything was exactly how we wanted it and so much more. She was very easy to work with and so down to earth.
She did an outstanding job and I am so glad to have found her
Carla from The Blue Chrysanthemum exceeded all expectations! She was very professional during our time working together and captured our vision perfectly! From the centerpieces to the bridesmaids bouquets to the welcome sign, Carla created BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements! Thank you for sharing in our special day!
I had a wonderful experience working with Carla! She brought my dreams to life by creating beautiful bouquets, arrangements, and centerpieces. I highly recommend!
I loved our flowers! The owner was organized, helpful and delivered to all locations requested, which was a huge help for the day of. All the flowers lasted the whole day and were stunning!
I would recommend her to anyone in the South Jersey area!
In looking for florals, we received quotes all over the place, all of which we found unreasonable as we wanted small, simple centerpieces, bouquets, and boutineers. We did not have flowers for the ceremony, but rather candles and no flowers were utilized in the cocktail hour. When finding Carla from Blue Chrysanthemum, she was so kind and helpful. We told her we wanted loose, airy, white flowers with greenery and touches of blush. Carla made the vision we didn't even know we had come to life (at a VERY reasonable price)!! We also got to keep any vases, candles, and so on.
Carla was great to work with. She was very flexible, and shared ideas when and where she could in our planning process. There was a flower that I wanted to use that wasn't holding up well in the heat, and she suggested another beautiful alternative. Our wedding arbor and cake looked like something off of Pinterest. I highly recommend her!
The flowers Carla delivered for our Dec 2022 wedding were perfect! I sent Carla a few photos of what I was looking for and let her run with it. Everything turned out absolutely beautifully! The Blue Chrysanthemum is definitely someone you can trust to put together beautiful flowers for your wedding day.
Carla is unbelievable. I have recommended her to two of my friends who are getting married as well, because not only is her work GORGEOUS, but she also helps you put together your perfect vision. I was able to specifically pick flowers that I loved and add/remove whenever things changed. She was accommodating and SO amazing. Would hire her all over again :)
Carla is amazing! She is so talented. We found her as a preferred vendor from our venue and she did not disappoint. We did a boho chic wedding and she bought our vision to life. We worked together with ease and she helped me have the wedding of our dreams. Check out her IG.
Carla was absolutely amazing to work with! I am soooooo beyond obsessed with my florals and I have received numerous compliments about them since the wedding! Carla was responsive and made the planning process such a breeze. 10000/10 recommend.
Carla really helped to bring the pop of summer color that I was looking for! I told her my vision of pinks and yellows and she nailed it! Helped to make my science/beaker centerpieces look wedding ready, and all at a totally resonable price.
Carla was absoultely amazing to work with for our wedding this past week. Not only is she an amazing and kind person, but she is a wonderful florist! She completely nailed our vision. Our flowers were better than we could have even imagined. Her floral and set up prices are extremely reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend Carla and The Blue Chrysanthemum to anyone looking for a florist.
Carla was recommended to us by a friend. I honestly know nothing about flowers and had no idea of what I really wanted. I just gave Carla basic details about our wedding such as, color schemes and the aesthetic we wanted. She did such an amazing job at tying it all together. My bride and bridesmaid bouquets were so beautiful and were perfect for the look and vibe we were wanted for our NYE wedding. She also did other detail flowers, our sweetheart table and also did our ceremony arch and everything was perfect. She is amazing at what she does and we were so happy with how everything turned out. She is also super affordable and responsive. When I would reach out to her with questions or changes she immediately got back to me. I can not recommend her enough! You will not be disappointed with her incredible work!
Carla was FANTASTIC! She made the wedding planning process so easy and took my vision from my Pinterest board to reality. Her work is amazing and beautiful. Not only is Carla talented but she is also so sweet and willing to help you in any way possible. Carla was great and I would highly recommend her!
Carla was amazing and did a fantastic job at making my vision for my wedding come to life. All my guests commented on how beautiful the bouquets and flower arrangements were. Carla was super easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Carla for any floral needs!
Carla is incredible! She was so kind to talk to prior to the wedding, even with changes I made prior to the wedding day. Her prices are so reasonable and she was able to pull off the vision I had - and make it BETTER. It was so lovely to work with Carla and I can’t say enough good things. Would highly, highly recommend her for any future brides/grooms!
Stop searching and hire Carla IMMEDIATELY. I interviewed five florists but no one understood my vision like Carla did. I knew from the first meeting that I found the perfect florist designer. Carla showed up early and set up all of my flowers exactly right, even in the rain. She took into consideration every detail and worked her magic. My stubborn puppy refused to wear the beautiful wreath Carla made and so on the spot, Carla created a brand new collar bouquet for her. Our guests raved about each creation. We were so lucky to have met Carla!
We can’t say enough how amazing Carla and her flowers were! Carla is such a sweet woman who works magic with flowers! I am a very visual person who has a hard time describing my vision and Carla took my Pinterest board and minimal explanation and made my dreams come to life! We had a postponement due to covid last minute and Carla was so kind as to come and set up a backyard ceremony for us and to add us back to her schedule on a day she normally wouldn’t have book a wedding service. Carla worked with me throughout the planning process answering questions big or small, making adjustments in numbers and what I wanted, and helping guide me through the floral process picking flowers and sizes. We are so thankful to have found Carla! Both times we had her beautiful flowers her work received rave reviews from our bridal party and guests! We are so thankful for Carla helping make our wedding day(s) so incredibly beautiful and everything we dreamed!
Clara is absolutely wonderful! Right from the first message sent she was so sweet and made things so easy for me! The flowers were GORGEOUS! Exactly what I was hoping for and all my girls loved them. She delivered them right to us the morning of the wedding, which gave me one less thing to have to think about. If there is ever another occasion that I need a florist, Clara is my go to woman.
Carla is by far the best! We had such an amazing experience from the start. She has such an amazing talent, and the flowers are absolutely beautiful. The day of the wedding, she took the time to help me add last minute charms to the parents flowers. The outside ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, and exactly how I imagined it. My bouquet and my girls bouquets were beyond beautiful. If you are looking for a florist, look no further!! She’s the best around, and we can’t thank her enough for making our day so beautiful and special!
I said it before and I’ll say it again! Carla is outstanding to work with! Not only are the flowers reasonably priced they are drop dead gorgeous! Please use her for anything and everything!!!!
If there was one thing people kept complimenting over and over it would be our flowers. Everyone kept talking about how beautiful they were and even how great they smelled. Carla was awesome! The whole process with her was awesome and I'm so glad we found her. Everything was beautiful.
Carla has such an amazing attention to detail and captured all of my ideas of exactly what I wanted. Our bouquets were absolutely gorgeous and perfect. I can't wait to get our professional photos to admire them more! Carla is so sweet as well and really took the time to exchange design ideas. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed!
Carla was absolutely fabulous to work with. I just got married this past Saturday and I could not have asked for anything more beautiful than what she arranged for me. We met with Carla twice at her house during our planning. We would end up hanging around way longer than necessary just to chat. She was very welcoming and made us feel right at home, my husband and her son even hit it off with their mutual love of cooking. Carla was very responsive and laid back. She made it a very easy, stress free process. She was so easy going and made everything seem like a breeze. I can't recommend her enough!
Carla did an absolutely AMAZING job on the flowers for my wedding! They were just what I wanted. She used fresh flowers for my bouquet and my husbands’ boutineir and she used dried lavender for my bridesmaids and the groomsmen. The lavender smelled wonderful! We were all definitely relaxed! The attention to detail on the twine ribbon that I asked for on each bouquet and boutineir was just perfect to tie into my decor. Every strip of the wash Carla was so professional and accommodating to my wants and needs. I highly recommend The Blue Chrysanthemum!!! Thanks again!!
Carla is an amazing person to work with. She is professional, extremely detailed, organized and always responds quickly. Her work was PERFECT. Everything from My bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, isle petals, cake flowers, bouttineers to the centerpieces, everything was absolutely perfect and gorgeous. She literally took exactly what I wanted and made it a reality! She arrived to my wedding day so early to set up everything and made everything look Absolutely stunning. I have no idea what I would have done without Carla as my florist! I am so grateful that I had her for my wedding day! I cannot say enough great things about Carla and her work, I would 100% recommend her and I plan on using her for future events!! Thank you so so so much Carla!
Carla did a fantastic job with flowers at my wedding. Lots of roses & evergreens & amazing arrangements. Also at a very reasonable price. I couldn't be happier!
My fiance and I don't know anything about flowers and weren't sure where to start. We went to about 5 florist & they wanted to know exactly what flowers they want, or they wouldn't break down the items in the order and we were really frustrated. We sat down with Carla and were immediately happy. She helped us with what flowers we would want based on our color scheme and ideas-we didn't need to know names. She also gave us a break down and explained everything to us! She also helped us when one of my bridemaids randomly text me that she was allergic to the 1 flower that my fiance wanted-we figured it all out over email.
