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 💛
Ooldouz blew us away with her floral work for our wedding. Not only that but she is a joy to work with. She’s friendly and professional, as well as extremely helpful and creative when it came to helping us figure out exactly what we wanted. We provided references of florals we loved and she delivered something even better. Can’t recommend this company enough. Thank you Ooldouz!
I could not be happier with how our florals came out for our wedding thanks to Ooldouz! Booking was easy, I was able to make a preliminary proposal to pay the deposit and then update 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.
Absolutely amazing!!! So glad to find such a flexible and creative team to bring color and vibrancy to our wedding day.
Ooldouz was amazing to work with. Right from the get-go, she was professional, easy to get hold of, and dove right in to get our vision right. She showed us a Pinterest board she created for inspiration, which captured the whimsical look I was imagining.
And the final product really delivered. My bouquet was a dream and the combination of bud vases and vintage books that I provided made for really beautiful centerpieces. I would definitely hire her again for any future events I have.
Ooldouz is truly a talent! She listened to exactly what I wanted and absolutely brought it to life. Her work is absolutely stunning and I couldn't have been happier. Hire The English Garden for your event and you won't be sorry!!
Ooldouz at the English Garden did a fantastic job on our wedding flowers, even on fairly short notice. I loved how the color scheme turned out and those coral snapdragons were absolutely gorgeous and really popped. They added so much color and was exactly what I was looking for.
She was incredibly accommodating and flexible in helping us stick to our floral budget!
Our flowers turned out beautiful!!! The colors, the style were exactly what we imagined. Ooldouz is an absolute artist, her creativity and unique flower choices made our arrangements noteworthy. We are so grateful!
I was absolutely happy with The English Garden's service. Ooldouz has a a great eye for details. We clicked quickly and she created a beautiful bouquet that was really close to what I had in mind. She used different textural elements such as air plants and succulents with beautiful flowers which made my bouquet really special and different.
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 planner 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 everything she created for our wedding was simply gorgeous. HIGHLY recommend The English Garden for your wedding!
