Choosing Ooldouz and the team at The English Garden was the easiest and most perfect choice for our wedding!! After contacting several florists local to our venue, Ooldouz was the ...
only one who gave me a truly thorough breakdown of not only cost and delivery options, but also the types of flowers/greenery she envisioned for the colour scheme and look I had in mind. Throughout our whole planning process, she was incredibly kind, helpful, thoughtful, prompt, and detail oriented. And the best part, our florals were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!!! I gave Ooldouz the tough task of asking for a loose, wildflower inspired, blue and pink theme without looking like a baby shower. And she DELIVERED. I would tattoo pictures of my bouquet on myself if I could because they looked SO beautiful I could stare at them every single day! If you’re hesitating on hiring The English Garden for your floral needs, don’t. With Ooldouz you’ll be in both safe and talented hands 💛

te things as we approached our event. We ended up doing our bridal/bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnières, a combo of centerpieces and bud vases for our 9 tables, as well as a sweetheart table centerpiece and fountain decoration. I sometimes have a hard time handing the reins to others, but I sent Ooldouz our color palette and some inspiration pictures and let her do her thing and she blew me away! My guests were commenting on how beautiful the florals looked and smelled all evening, and they really make our photos pop. I would absolutely recommend The English Garden, I’m so glad we trusted Ooldouz with this important job for our special day.

I cant say enough about Susan and her team at The English Garden. This was my first stop and my last when selecting the florist for my wedding. Day 1 Susan sat down with me, my pla...
nner and my mom and went over every single flower, arrangement, plant, and container. The detail and communication that you get from The English Garden makes you feel like your event is their #1 priority even though you know they are super busy and doing a million other projects! On the day of my wedding when I saw all my flowers I was in shock. My wedding was more than I ever could have dreamt of. Im sure every bride feels this way but, our wedding was the most gorgeous event I have ever seen in my life. My chuppah and ceremony exceeded my expectations and I would tell any bride/groom to stop looking and book them immediately!
I loved my bouquet so much and they were so sweet and easy to work with!
Amazing! The bouquets and boutonnières were perfect! The flowers were beautiful and they added a shell to each one to compliment our beachy wedding. The arch we had at the ceremony...
was decorated so beautifully and was a perfect backgrounds for guests to use for pictures during cocktail hour and the reception. We only had them do a centerpiece for our sweetheart table, but it was perfect. Beautiful, but not overpowering! I am not a flower expert so they worked with me so well and put together an amazing floral design!
Susan Winston is simply the best. Her floral creations are stunning, the price is reasonable, and she is so comfortable and lovely to talk to. We enjoyed working with her, and ever...
