The Flowering Vine

Sandy did an incredible job for our flowers for our wedding day! Truly, it took my breath away. She was a pleasure to work with, easy to get in touch with, and very transparent throughout the process. She absolutely blew my expectations out of the water, I couldn't have been happier with everything she created for us.

Since I am a covid bride, I have been talking to Sandy for the last two years now. She has always been very responsive and even willing to meet with me several times, as I’ve had to reschedule and change my venue/arrangements multiple times now. She has always been very understanding, professional and accommodating. The flowers and centerpieces turned out to be fantastic! Several people came up to me during the reception saying how stunning the arrangements were! I can’t thank Sandy enough for making our wedding day so special!

Sandy was absolutely wonderful to work with. If you're looking for a florist SERIOUSLY go no further. From the moment we chatted, she took what I had in mind and turned it into a reality. The flowers were UNBELIEVABLE and SPECTACULAR. She did an amazing job and went above and beyond my expectations. The flowers were lovely, every bridesmaid was so pleased with their bouquets and Sandy and her team even figured out ways for me to save $ by reusing some flowers at the church and the reception venue. Throughout the entire process Sandy was a joy to work with and you can tell she really cares. I loved how she turned my vision into a reality and they really went above and beyond my expectations of how they would come out. Highly recommend!

Sandy Carroll at The Flowering Vine arranged the flowers for our wedding at Old Sturbridge Village. We asked for wildflowers to keep with the ambiance of the venue. We sent her some photos to give her an idea of what we had envisioned, but were otherwise not terribly prescriptive. She took our ideas and our colors and created beautiful floral bridal bouquets, wreath centerpieces, boutonnieres, corsages, flowers for the cake, and a chuppah with floral arrangement. It was like she had gotten in our heads and created just the arrangements we were looking for. We would recommend Sandy and The Flowering Vine to anyone getting married in central MA and anyone who wants to get creative and not just have the run-of-the-mill floral arrangements.

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Sandy! Her flowers were absolute perfection at my wedding! She really understood my vision and made my dream wedding come to life! She is so easy to work with and is so warm and kind. I HIGHLY recommend her!!

We were SO happy with how our flowers turned out. They were truly perfect - so lovely and exactly what we wanted. We placed a pretty large order with Sandy and she did an amazing job on everything! That included bride bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, flower girl "flower wand", groom/groomsmen/father boutonnieres, chuppah, centerpieces, gift/memorial table arrangements and flowers for our cake. Sandy took the time to chat with us and really understand what we wanted. On the day of the wedding she was prompt, which we appreciated as well. Would definitely recommend her!

We were so fortunate to work with Sandy from Flowering Vine. After meeting with her, she took the vision I had described and created floral arrangements that were more beautiful than I imagined. Sandy also had amazing, creative ideas, such as creating a beautiful garland that surrounded us during our ceremony. Sandy is extreme talented, and has such a good eye, while also keeping her arrangements reasonably priced. We're so happy we used Flowering Vine for our floral arrangements!

I am still in awe of my wedding flowers. They were perfection! Sandy was such a wonderful woman to work with. I sent her photos ahead of time of what I was envisioning and MAN did she deliver. She even had a bouquet created for our first meeting so she could show me her vision. Every bouquet, centerpiece, and the arch decor was gorgeous. I was so happy!! Thank you again Sandy!

Sandy was absolutely great for our July wedding, she captures exactly what I was looking for for bouquets and boutonierres at a very reasonable price. My only complaint is the email responses were on the slow side, sometimes over a week. She called a couple weeks before to confirm what I wanted and when it should be delivered. Overall, great experience and would highly recommend!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Sandy for years and I was lucky enough to have her do all of the flowers for our wedding! She is so creative and in-tune with her clients that she brings their visions to life with ease. She is always on-time and a joy to be around. She makes planning easy, and I couldn't recommend a better florist.

I am a little late with my review since my Wedding was in October of 2017 at Harrington Farm. Sandra captured the colors of the season and enhance the overall feel of our wedding. Everything looked wonderful, elegant yet simple and she somehow kept me calm through out the entire process. The flowers were fresh, vibrant and Sandra and her team even moved everything inside with out a problem when we realized the mountain weather was a little to wet to be walking down a hill :-). I cannot say enough about the Flowering vine. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Sandra helped us create beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and church decor at a very reasonable budget. We were recommended to Sandra by our reception venue and knew we would be working with her during our first sit down. The whole creative process was very easy and the results were beautiful.

Sandy did an AMAZING job! She helped bring my unique ideas to life! She gave me great advice on what would look beautiful. She would respond to me quickly when I had questions. She showed up on time on wedding day and I was thrilled to see her modern creations. I still have my bouquet hanging in my kitchen today!

Sandy at the Flowering Vine is a grade-A professional and a classy lady! I've known her my entire life, and any time she has done flowers (she also did my first communion wreath and bouquet) it is just the most exquisite arrangement you have ever seen...until she makes something else for you, and then THAT becomes the most amazing! She captured my vision perfectly, and was so kind to and a pleasure to work with! You will not go wrong with her making your bouquets!

Sandy was fantastic! From our first meeting she had wonderful ideas. Our flowers were beautiful and simple just as we wanted. I would highly recommend her for weddings in the Sturbridge area.

Sandy at The Flowering Vine is brilliant! She did all my flowers for my wedding on 7/30/16 and I could not have asked for a better turn out. Not only did she do exactly what I imagined but she spent hours putting together the most beautiful arrangement together on the gazebo we got married on. I would recommend her a million times over again!

There are not words to describe how happy I am with the flowers and service we received from Sandy at The Flowing Vine. I planned our Massachusetts wedding from VA and felt confident in the quality and design that would be delivered on our wedding day throughout the entire planning process. When I had initially described what I wanted, Sandy was able to show us examples, provided alternative suggestions to consider, AND was the only vendor we worked with who made suggestions that would not only look better but saved us money! The amount of flowers that we got for the price was impressive! She has a wonderful eye for design and it really showed when you walked into our reception and is now also preserved in our wedding photos. (My bouquet is one of my favorite things in our photos) One of the other things that I loved about Sandy was that she was able to make a silk flower arrangement that looked identical to my bouquet- I was expecting a typical 80’s fake bouquet but was simply blown away with how beautiful the replication was. We can’t thank her enough for helping us bring the picture we had in our minds to life and for being so easy to work with!

Sandy and her team created elegant and beautiful flower arrangements for our wedding. From start to finish, we had a great experience with the Flowering Vine. During our planning session, Sandy listened carefully and presented a number of options for our choosing. She took into account our budget and desire for simplicity in design. The final products - collections of jars with flowers on birch slabs for the table settings; various petal and baby's breath items for decor; baby's breath bouquets and boutonnieres for the bridal party; calla lily boutonnieres for the groom, father of the groom, and grandfather of the bride; rose posies for the mothers; and a most amazing calla lily and rose bouquet for the bride - exceeded expectations. Everyone praised the vibrant colors and autumn grace these items exuded, and they serve as a terrific pop of color in the photos from the day. I cannot recommend Sandy and her team more enthusiastically.

I cannot say enough about what The Flowering Vine did to make my reception beautiful. I am not a flower person, so I really left the details up to Sandy and her staff. I only told her my colors, which were black, silver and red. Black and silver were the wedding party's attire and I wanted red splashes of color from the flowers. That is seriously the only information I gave her! Sandy created our bouquets out of all red roses, and followed that theme to the centerpieces, which were different height silver (I'll say candle sticks, but I'm not really sure what they were!) with varing sizes rose balls on top. Litereally, I think she said she used 1200 roses! It looked simple, graceful and elegant. Guests were allowed to take home the flower balls, and they are drying beautifully. She also went above and beyond with details that I would have never thought of. For example, The arrangements at the alter in our church, the doors to enter the church, the pews, the cocktail hour, the appitizer table, the stage that the band set up on…down to the napkin rings. There is so much more I could describe, but I know I'm running out of room! Sandy and her staff thought of everything, more than a typical florist would. I gave her barely any vision to go with, and she created my dream day. We are so grateful for the hard work she did. I wouldn't recommend ANYONE else! Thank you so much Flowering Vine! :)

Sandy, the wonderful and fun-to-work-with florist at The Flowering Vine, created absolutely the most beautiful arrangements for my daughter's wedding. She made the whole decision-making process easy, even for our most anxious bride. There were numerous compliments from the guests. Even the groom was impressed by how beautiful "simple" could be. He and my daughter both agreed that their wedding was "perfect" and that they wouldn't change a thing. Thank you, Sandy! I HIGHLY recommend The Flowering Vine for any occasion. I WILL go to Sandy again for all future floral needs.

Working with Sandy from The Flowering Vine was an absolute pleasure. Not only did she have a great personality but she totally "got" my vision right from the start. She knew exactly what I was looking for and came through with a beautiful product. The flowers were so fresh and lush and elegant. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, enthusiastic, talented florist.

I used Flowering Vine for my wedding on October 11th and I cannot sing Sandy's praise enough. Her dedication to detail and amazing vision truley transformed my wedding venue into a the event I always imagined. Sandy had the most creative ideas and it was reassuring to be able to trust that she would take care of all of the floral and design elements of my wedding so that I could put my focus elsewhere. From driving to Boston to find the exact color crystals I wanted to line the flower vases to spray painting hydrangea petals because she felt they weren't quite the shade of purple we had in mind, Sandy went above and beyond her role as designer for our wedding I could not be more pleased.

Sandy was so friendly and easy to work with! I knew nothing about flowers when I met with her! I knew I wanted a country chic and romantic look and feel for my wedding and that I wanted to incorporate fall colors, pumpkins, and birch wood. Sandy took one look at a picture of my dress and venue and created absolutely the most beautiful bridal bouquet and floral arrangements! Everything was perfect...down to the orchid for my hair! And we didn't have to bust out budget! Because of Sandy and her team at the Flowering Vine, the floral cost/selections was one of the least stressful aspects of our wedding planning! Sandy helped turn my dream day into reality!

We used Sandra at The Flowering Vine for our September wedding. We only spoke over email and I sent her a few pictures and with just that, she captured EXACTLY what we were looking for! We had a nature theme that involved pine cones, acorns, berries, hydranges and roses. With a blue, brown and cream color theme. She made marvelous bouquets for myself and my MOH and boutonnieres for the groom and best men/ring bearers. Our centerpieces were simple but elegant with mason jars containing hydrangeas and sprinklings of acorns and pine cones on the table. Her rates are very fair and her work is high quality.

Let me start be saying I know absolutely nothing about flowers, I walked into my consultation with sandy and told her my vision and she knew exactly how to create it! Throughout the process I changed my mind on a few things and sandy was understanding and helpful! On my wedding day she showed up with the most beautiful bouquets and center pieces! She far, exceeded my expectations.

Sandy knows her stuff. We met with her with a vague idea of "autumn flowers" and she turned out the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces imaginable. The ceremony site, the Herb Garden, was made to look alive and colorful despite the fact that our wedding was at the end of October - the waning end of foliage season.

We were on a tight budget and she provided us with economical beautiful arrangements.
