The Fuchsia Peony

We worked with Sara and she was able to work within our budget and the flowers were absolutely stunning! She put them together in a way that made it easy to assemble at our venue as we opted to pick them up and self assemble to save money. We would highly recommend this place. They were far more reasonable than others listed on our venue's website and I really did my homework.

The Fuchsia Peony went above and beyond for my wedding flowers, and I am still dreaming about how beautiful the bouquets were. I got SO many compliments on the bouquets and so many people asking what florist I used. I went for a boho chic vibe with a mix of fresh and dried flowers. I do not know a ton about flowers regarding different types, etc., but Sara, the florist, completely understood my vision, and absolutely nailed the vibe. Truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding and one of my favorite parts!!! No need to look any further - the Fuchsia Peony is easy to work with and organizes the most stunning and unique arrangements ever!!

Despite being late to the game in booking a florist, The Fuchsia Peony worked with us in creating affordable and beautiful bouquets and greenery for our wedding. The team was responsive and did a phenomenal job in executing our vision. The corsages and boutonnieres were stunning and got lots of compliments from our family members who were wearing them. They helped us stay within our budget while also bringing our vision to life. We are so happy that we were able to work with The Fuchsia Peony, and they no doubt added beauty to our wedding day.

The best word I can use to describe the fuchsia peony and their services is breathtaking. Sara and her team were extremely easy to work with and all such wonderful human beings. Sara listen to our vision and completely ran with it in all the right directions and input her brilliant ideas at all the right moments. She completely understood a request in design and mended it perfectly with our venue. She was responsive and adjusted our needs every step of the way. Sara and her team offer on site set up the day of your event and this made our day extremely easy. She truly made our vision come to life And exceeded our expectations of a beautiful wedding. We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful day if we tried. Everywhere I looked elements of fuchsia peony’s work shined and enhanced the spaces perfectly without overdoing it. We cannot recommend Sara and the fuchsia peony enough. Thank you all and we can’t wait to work with you all again in the future 💕

Words cannot describe how perfectly Sara and her team matched our floral vision for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. We started our planning with Sara by meeting with her and telling her our colors and explaining to her what style we were going for. We showed her some pictures and she worked her magic. The set up for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I highly, highly recommend Sara and her team if you are looking for a florist for your special day or event!

Sara is amazingly talented and her floral designs are breathtaking. She has an ability to understand what you are looking for and is able to bring it to life in a better way than you could ever imagine. She made our wedding reception look beautiful and was such a pleasure to work with. She made the process very simply and communication was easy. She is definitely the one to go to for any event needs.

Sara is absolutely amazing. Her talent speaks for itself with her beautifully flawless pieces she creates. But beyond that, her professionalism is above and beyond. I had a little hiccup with my bridal bouquet so I called to see what could be done to resolve the problem. Sara was there within the hour to fix the issue without hesitation. In this industry how you deal with unexpected problems can speak volumes for your business….I would recommend The Fushia Peony over and over again!

Sara was so easy to work with and made all of my Pinterest floral dreams come true! She worked within my budget to make my floral vision come to life . She had so many helpful tips and even tricks to repurpose some arrangements to save money. Delivery was seamless the morning of the wedding and she even gave the groomsmen a quick lesson in boutonniere pinning.

The Fuchsia Peony helped us to create the perfect fantasy world for my Middle Earth themed wedding! Their flowers and greenery are fresh, GORGEOUS, and smell AMAZING. I hardly recognized my barn venue once it was dressed up in their flowers. Also, if you are looking for a touch of uniqueness, they will gladly work with you. Five shining stars to them!

Trust Sara to choose the best flowers for your wedding needs that fit your color scheme and theme! Bride and bridesmaid bouquets were exceptionally beautiful. Exactly what bride and groom pictured. Whimsical, classy and vivid all at once!

I would have loved to work with Sarah for my wedding but unfortunately I didn’t get the chance. She is very talented and kind.

Sara did an amazing job & truly brought our vision to life!!! We were blown away with how stunning our flowers were for our special day. She did such a perfect job, the quality of her work is incredible! I highly recommend The Fuchsia Peony!

Sara is the mastermind behind The Fuchsia Peony. My wedding would have not been the same without her. She met with me twice, spoke on the phone more than once to really understand what I wanted and was very kind creative and professional. She delivered me the most beautiful setting for my barn wedding and I couldn’t even look directly at the bouquet right before I walked down the aisle because It was so perfect , so beautiful. The quality of her work and her choices of flowers, unbelievable. She even made me a special day of “ flower girl “ collar for my dog. People loved it! She has a good eye for style and she even has her own inventory of rentals, from ladders to crates to candle holders to plant stands and decor , she can nail any vision you have. I had the ability to also visit her very cute floral shop , I highly recommend taking a visit and I highly recommend The Fuchsia Peony!

Sara was fabulous in bringing my vision to life, her contracts we're easy to read and when we received the flowers for my wedding everything was labeled beautifully.

Sara and team made all of our wedding greenery dreams come true for our winter black tie wedding. Sara was incredibly communicative, professional and detail-oriented, which we greatly appreciated. The greens and flowers themselves we absolutely stunning. She made all of our Pinterest dreams come true. Highly recommend.

There are not enough stars in the universe for Sara and The Fuchsia Peony. Sara and her staff are beyond exceptional and blew our expectations out of the water. Sara's talent is undeniable- her passion is reflected in her gorgeous work, her eye for detail is unrivaled, and her customer service is exceptional. She has a special, genuine way about her that makes her an absolute joy to work with. She always keeps her customer's wants and needs at the forefront and she never loses sight of a couple's dream vision- or their budget. When we first met with Sara, all we knew was what color flowers we wanted and what we wanted our wedding feel to be. Sara took this basic information and somehow created beautiful floral touches and centerpieces that were beautiful beyond what we could have ever imagined. She held our hands every step of the way and was the first to honestly tell us when she thought something wouldn't work or that something might work better- all while keeping US on track with our budget. Sara is an absolute gem. Her talent, reliability, and professionalism are only rivaled by her dedication to making her customer's wedding visions come to life. I truly could not recommend The Fuchsia Peony more highly.

Sara was amazing! I had this idea for my center pieces and I was having such a hard time putting the idea together. Sara knew exactly what I was looking for and even added a little extra pizazz. I based my whole wedding on these center pieces. When I finally was able to see the reception it was breath taking. it was better than I ever imagined. My guests were blown away. They kept telling us that this was by far the best wedding they have ever been to. I couldn't have pulled it off without Sara.

Sara and her staff were AHHHHMAZING! From the first time I sat down with Sara I knew she was the one l wanted to work with. Her ideas, enthusiasm, bubbly personality and knowledge of flowers all combined to create the most beautiful wedding I could have ever imagined! It has been a month since my wedding, and family and friends are still talking about the centerpieces, bouquets and especially the beautiful rounded arbor. It was so easy to talk to Sara, and any questions or concerns I had she answered and put my mind at ease. Everything honestly exceeded my expectations! I would never hesitate in recommending The Fuchsia Peony!

Sara was amazing with our floral arrangements! I was not sure or super picky what I wanted, so I figured finding a florist would be easy. However, it still took me four florists to find her! The others did not seem to get my vision at all. They kept trying to give me other ideas that had nothing to do with what I was saying and trying to push a typical "pintrest trendy" floral arrangement. She not only seemed to understand the look I was going for but seemed excited about it and had a ton if ideas to offer. I showed her a few things I liked and she ran with it. I received tons of compliments on my flowers. The only thing that made me sad was when they started to die (well after the wedding) and I could not stare at them anymore!

Deciding on flowers to match our late September wedding was not easy for us- we had no idea what we wanted, and I know nothing about flowers... but Sarah was perfect! She made everything easy, and knew exactly what would pull our entire look together. We absolutely loved working with her and her team. The floral arrangements were stunning... and my favorite part, my bouquet, was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. She understood exactly what we were going for. Sara's expertise of the Mount Washington Hotel also took a huge weight off our shoulders as she was able to suggest where arrangements would fit perfectly for our ceremony and reception. We highly recommend you hire Ivy and Aster Floral Design, you won't be disappointed. Sara, thank you for listening to our vision and making it perfect!

I was so pleased with all the floral arrangements by Sara and her team. I live out of state and got married at Omni Mount Washington Hotel. Sara worked with me and made my vision of the bouquets and centerpieces become real. I didn't know where or how to start explaining what I wanted but Sara looked through some of my Pinterest boards and guided me through everything. She was available when I needed her and I never had to worry about how it would all come together on our wedding day. There were a couple last minute changes I had to make and Sara was extremely accommodating. My family and friends, who came from all over the country, praised my taste in flowers but it was all Sara and her team.

Sara nailed it! I had no idea what color combinations I was going to use when I started out. She guided me throughout the entire wedding planning process, making the decision making seemingly effortless. I planned my MAY 13th, 200 guest wedding from Massachusetts and it was NOT easy. Having issues with many vendors, Sara was the one I did not. She made everything go smoothly from day one leading up to the big day. She gave us budget friendly options and offered to send different styles/color combinations etc. In the end, we decided on a monochromatic white roses, lisianthus and greenery and it turned out beautiful! Thank you Sara for fulfilling my dream wedding visions!

Ivy and Aster Floral Design was absolutely amazing right from the beginning. She was so easy to work , honest and was very receptive to my ideas and wishes. As someone who knows nothing about flowers and floral design but is also still very design/aesthetic conscious I was very nervous about how the bouquets were going to turn out. I feel like I gave Sara a little direction and a ton of freedom and trusted her to see my vision. She totally hit the nail on the head. I was so blown away by her arrangements. She absolutely delivered. After I posted pictures on social media I had five different girls text me and ask me who I used for flowers. You won't regret hiring Sara.

After spending endless hours and months looking through wedding magazines, Pinterest and other flower ideas I have to say Sara was above and beyond expectations of beauty & creativity on our wedding day. There was not a detail left out- her imagination went beyond my wildest dreams and when you gave a bride like myself from born and raised in Hawaii, that's a huge statement. I've seen the most gorgeous flowers and Sara left me speechless. My advice to any couple... let Sara dream for you- she will exceed all your expectations, dreams and fantasies. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Sincerely- the happiest Mr & Mrs Silvia

Sara was able to bring my vision to life on my wedding day. The bouquets, centerpieces and boutonnieres were stunning. Sara paid close attention to every detail, and it all came together seamlessly. Thank you Sara!

working with Sara was an absolute joy from beginning to end. Sara studied my daughter's pinterest to get the feel of the wedding style and flower colors & style that she envisioned. We gave Sara free rein on flower selection so she could maximize local growers and use seasonal flowers. Sara hit the mark, absolutely gorgeous and creatively done!

My wife and I were married in May at the Mount Washington Resort in NH. We reached out to Sara at Ivy and Aster and from our first meeting, felt super comfortable working with her. Being a lesbian couple we were particularly concerned about having two bouquets that complimented each other, but also showed our individual style and went with each of our gowns. Well, we both LOVED our flowers!!! Sue, in particular, was blown away and still hasn't stopped talking about them :) We wish we could have had them forever. They were exactly as Sara envisioned, beautiful in their own right and completely complimentary. Plus, they went perfectly with each of our dresses! Then the cake! The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and much more than I expected. I'm not sure if folks have already heard of the ornaments you can have made that are a replica of your wedding cake. Our friends got one and we are totally going to do the same! Thank you SO much Sara for making our day so beautiful and for adding to our happy memories!!

Our wedding flowers were so beautiful! I loved the flower type and color combinations that you chose to complement our already colorful wedding. I had no idea what color flowers to have and you put together to most beautiful accent combination. The bouquets were perfect! The centerpieces were stunning, beautifully arranged with the freshest flowers. It doesn't get any better than that. Thank you so much for creating such a lovely part of our wedding.

Ivy & Aster Floral Design was wonderful to work with! I came to Sara after a negative experience with another florist, and she was able to take my notes and fill in the holes based on my now-husband’s and my vision for our wedding. I really know nothing about flowers, so having Sara there to make recommendations based on not only our wedding-day goals, but our budget as well, was truly invaluable. She gave us multiple options at different price points for each element of our floral decor and helped us mix and match to find an end result that was both beautiful and affordable, and she was honest with us when she thought individual elements would be either unnecessary or too far outside our budget. In addition, she was patient and flexible, and let us take our time with decisions and change things as we refined our plans for the ceremony and reception. On top of her excellent instincts and undeniable expertise, Sara answered my emails promptly, and also coordinated with our on-site contact and delivered the flowers before we arrived at the venue. From my perspective, the arrival and placement of flowers went seamlessly, and it was simply one less thing to worry about on my wedding day! Overall, I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Sara at Ivy & Aster Floral Design. My wedding would not have been as fully realized if I hadn’t had her among my vendors. If I have one regret, it’s that we did everything over the phone and her efficiency on the day of our wedding meant that I never actually got to meet her and thank her in person!

We had a great experience! We wanted an organic wild flower look with a wide variety of colors. I sent her a couple example photos and trusted her to take it from there. She was great about taking our ideas and creating beautiful arrangements. I was appreciative that she was good about staying within our budget! I highly recommend her.

Sara was such a joy to work with for our wedding! From that first initial phone call with her I knew that we made the right choice. I sent her a few photos and chatted about the style we were looking for and Sara took it from there. We were planning a wedding in New Hampshire all the way from TX so we were really putting our trust in her and my goodness did she come through! It's safe to say she totally made our day! They were EXACTLY what we wanted and I can not tell you how many people complimented on how beautiful they came out. Sara was sweet, knowledgeable and extremely organized. She made the process super easy and really hit the nail on the head when it came to our style. We would recommend this company one million times over! Thank you Ivy and Aster for making our day so beautiful!

Where else can you get gorgeous, reasonably priced bunches of stems to create your own floral arrangements and bouquets! Although Sara's floral design work is amazing, my bridesmaids and I wanted to get creative the night before the wedding and put together our own designs. Sara helped guide me as to how many flowers (big blooms, small blooms and greenery) I would need and what would be freshly available for the season. Sara is totally flexible to what services she provides, seeing as she designed and put together my flower crown, but let us buy loose stems from her directly. I could have gone to a farm or order something online, but going through Sara gave me huge price of mind and the reliability the Internet nor a farm stand could. PLUS, whenever she can, she tries to support those local farmers and buy from them. Sara was very easy to work with and totally delivered! Our flowers were absolutely breath taking!!

Sara was absolutely amazing! She was extremely easy to work with, she is creative, professional, and worked with us to create the perfect aesthetic within our budget. When I look back at our pictures, I am still wowed by her work, especially with my unique bridal bouquet. I get compliments all the time on the arrangements she and her team created, and ABSOLUTELY recommend her for any event requiring floral design! I will certainly be reaching out to her again when the opportunity arises, and very much look forward to working with a trusted and ridiculously talented professional again. Thank you Sara and the Ivy and Astor Floral Design team for helping to make our wedding day so unforgettable! Extremely grateful and impressed, Melissa Young

I can't say enough about how wonderful Sara was to work with. I know next to nothing about flowers and showed up at our initial meeting with a few pictures and a declaration that "I don't like red flowers." Sara was able to really hone in on what my taste was, and created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. She was very responsive to emails, and even drew me a few sketches when I was having trouble picturing the centerpieces we had chosen. The flowers turned out stunning and really tied everything together. We got so many compliments! Sara was professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, which made her so easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend her.

Sara was wonderful to work with and exceeded my expectations. I gave her many pictures of what I wanted and the flowers she did were better and completely appropriate to the venue, the Omni Mt. Washington Resort. My calla lily bouquet was exquisite and the table flowers for our small Friday night dinner were lovely. Sara even found a way to utilize them at the reception Saturday night. The ballroom required something special and Sara did not disappoint. The large table arrangements filled the room perfectly yet still allowed for those sitting together to see each other and converse. They were breathtaking and we received so many compliments. The extra votives that she used set the mood for the room. Sara also had gorgeous vases and even plate chargers that she recommended and they pulled everything together. You will not be disappointed with her work!

Sara is incredible! She is so kind, knowledgeable, responsive, and accommodating! Since I was not local to my venue we did all of the arrangements via phone and I had no idea where to start, but Sara made the process so easy for me! I sent her a few pictures of flowers I liked and she was able to customize a quote for me at more than one price point to help me finalize everything. We went back and forth a few times before finishing the final details and she was so helpful throughout the entire process. I am SO happy with how everything turned out. On the day of my wedding when Sara came in to deliver the flowers I started crying because that moment is when it all hit me that I was getting married because the bouquets and boutonnieres were STUNNING and just perfect. She completely blew my expectations out of the water and I could not be happier. I would highly recommend Ivy & Aster with 100% confidence because I had such an amazing experience.

We worked with Sara for our wedding. From the very beginning she was super meticulous. She would ask me questions that I had not even thought of in the process. The flowers we were looking for required a special pedestal to be built to look more like a intertwined tree-like structure. They turned out better than I could have imagined. We were getting constant compliments, not just from our guests, but from the venue and vendors. The venue (who holds about 4-7 weddings a weekend, every weekend) said it was the coolest centerpieces they had ever seen! She was very flexible, even until the end, when we were still having changes being made.

Ivy & Aster were wonderful to work with for my wedding! I had MANY emails back and forth with Sara throughout the whole planning process and she was quick to respond and helpful throughout the whole thing. She listened to all of my requests and everything was absolutely perfect and exactly how I wanted it the day of! Highly recommended!!!

I got married this September at the Omni Mt Washington Resort. Ivy and Aster Floral Design was amazing to work with and the flowers got so many compliments at the wedding. Sara is super nice and flexible – I changed what I wanted about a month before the wedding and she happily accommodated. I also sent her pictures of what I was thinking and she replicated them so perfectly. I also added flower headbands for the rehearsal dinner, which added an awesome personal touch to that night. Everyone knew who the bridesmaids were! I would highly recommend Sara and team to any bride!

We were introduced to Sara because she is the in-house florist for our wedding venue, so we knew before meeting her that she would be our florist. However, she's so talented and personable that we would have hired her by choice a million times over! The flower arrangements and bouquets came out exactly as we had discussed and they were gorgeous. She really captured our rustic fall theme!

We just recently got married at the Mount Washington Hotel and the flowers that Sara put together for us could not have been more perfect! We got so many compliments on them! She put together a very detailed flower list and was so accommodating with making changes/additions. We were trying to save some money on certain things and Sara was so nice about letting us bring our own vases and allowing us to make some other things that we wanted. She meet us two times in places that were convenient for us to meet too. Sara and Ivy and Aster are very professional and were great to work! The flowers turned out better than I could have imagined. Thank you for making our day!

Ivy and Aster did my flowers for my rustic barn wedding recently. I was on a budget and trying to save a little so I requested that I be given loose flowers to put into vases and jars on my own for my centerpieces. Sara picked up on exactly what kind of look and feel I was going for, even though we only spoke on the phone as I was planning from afar. When I saw my loose flowers the day before my wedding I could not have been happier. She absolutely nailed the look I was going for and made sure to give me more than enough flowers to cover all my tables and my aisle for the ceremony. The morning of the wedding Sara brought my bouquets and boutineers to my venue and again blew me away. They were exactly what I had been envisioning, and I got compliments from tons of people on the varying shades of color she was able to incorporate. I was also unsure whether I would need a few additional corsages or not, and Sara was super flexible and told me that I could let her know the day before if I needed to add something and she would bill me at that point. That was a huge relief as I didn't have to worry about getting stuck paying for flowers I didn't really need. I would highly recommend Ivy and Aster as the flowers were gorgeous, Sara was a pleasure to work with, was always prompt in getting back to me with any questions I had, and was flexible and willing to make things as stress-free for me as possible.

Sara was very easy to work with. I think we changed our minds about different flowers 4 or 5 times and she gave us updated budgets each time quickly and efficiently. When we first met with her we weren't sure exactly what we wanted but she was able to help us narrow down a vision and we loved the final product. We especially loved her hoopah, which she decorated perfectly with a mix of our own decorations and her floral arrangements!

Wow. Ivy and Aster made sure my wedding day was as perfect as I imagined. When I first met with Sara, I knew she understood my vision. I wanted a woodsy, fairytale theme which I didn't explain very well. But Sara was able to take my vision and turn it into a reality. I was so amazed with how perfect all the flowers at my wedding came out. I instantly cried when I saw the beauty she had created. Not only was she able to create a world that only exists in fairytales but she was also extremely patient with me when going back and forth about our contract. We had to make a few revisions because of some minor details that I had wanted to change due to a few of our bridesmaids/grooms needed to back out of our parties. But with every revision, Sara was on it right away and made sure to handle each situation with ease. I never had any issues or trouble with contacting Sara which is a huge plus for me! I honestly can say that without Sara, my vision would have never came alive. I am still in awe of everything she was able to create and I am definitely going to work with her in the future. I already am drawing up plans for my graduation party next spring. Thank you so much Sara, I cannot thank you enough for making my wedding day so special and beautiful. People are still talking about the centerpieces! MAKE SURE YOU HIRE IVY AND ASTER FOR YOUR WEDDING! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

We recently got married at the Omni Mount Washington Hotel, and Sara provided our flowers- she was wonderful to work with and our flowers turned out better than I could have imagined. Thank you so much, Sara!!!

I used Ivy and Aster Floral Design for my wedding at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in April 2015. Sara was so easy to work with in the planning stages - I must have changed my mind 100 times, and she was always so friendly, patient, professional, and accommodating. I didn't want to spend more than $2,000 on flowers - she worked within my budget perfectly. She was always willing to adjust the arrangements to my liking, and continually came up with creative ideas as I changed my mind. She also always offered me several options at different price points to better help me make decisions. For the wedding itself, I was stunned at how beautiful my centerpieces and bouquets came out! Overall, Sara truly understood the importance of this day to me, and seemed to go out of her way to help me make it perfect. I would highly recommend Ivy and Aster Floral Design to any bride-to-be!

I did not have many flowers at my wedding because my focus was more on lighting. However working with Sara was a real pleasure and she made the most beautiful bouquets and ceremony flowers. I gave her some direction but she used my ideas and made the flowers really work for both my theme and the venue.

Sara was amazing and so easy to work with. Having never met with her due to me and my husband living 6 hours away,we did all our meeting via phone and email the flowers for our October 18 wedding we amazing and exactly what we wanted!!!! Sara made the whole process so easy and I didnt worry at all!!!! she is simply amazing!

Working with Sara was so fun and refreshing! Planning the rest of the wedding got stressful at times, but the flowers were easy and perfect. Sara's communication was great and we were able to come up with options that worked within our budget without sacrificing the look we wanted. We opted to pick up the centerpiece flowers to arrange ourselves the day before the wedding. They were all in great shape and she had the perfect amount ready for us, complete with a plan for how to put them together. She then came and delivered the personal flowers the morning of the wedding day. She used some really cool flowers that none of us had ever heard of, as well as some huge, beautiful locally grown sunflowers. She also made a garland to drape over our arbor. Everything was just beautiful.

We we very pleased with the services provided by Sara at Ivy & Aster! Sara took a photo I found on Pinterest and created a custom arrangement that had the same feel, but different in its own way. She was great to work with and we absolutely loved our flowers!

To say I was a picky bride about the flowers and look of the wedding would be a complete understatement! We were referred to Sara by our venue (Mt. Washington Hotel) and she was fantastic to work with. At our first meeting I kind of laid out the groundwork. I as well as my father are very allergic to flowers so we had to throw out your typical wedding flowers right away. She worked with me to create my "cozy and romantic" wedding by using lots of hydrangeas and candles. She really made my vision come alive. Sara is very personable and knows so much about flowers and what work during the particular time of the year! All of the arrangements from the ceremony to the reception were beautiful and guests were telling me about how gorgeous they were! Sara was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend Ivy and Aster to anyone for any event!

to Sara Hi Sara - Just wanted to express my deepest gratitude and heartfelt thank you for the AMAZING job you did with Andy & my wedding on October 5 at the Mt Washingotn. I was going to send you a pretty hand written thank you the old fashion way, but then realized I have no mailing address (and this email would likely be more timely too ;) The bouquets were beyond anything I could have imagined and so unique. I loved all the colors and textures and beautiful and tasteful peacock accents. I seriously stood in the garage for quite a while yesterday while I realized it was time to let my bouquet go to flower heaven. So sad - it was soooo gorgeous. The mom's loved their cuffs too! My only regret is that I didn't have enough time to enjoy your beautiful delivery and thank you appropriately - as you probably recall, my room was quite the circus that day. So, please accept this note as my big hug and thank you - everything was great!! Also, long ago I recall you telling me you found some really cool beads to scatter about the tables. Trying not to be the annoying bride, I trusted you and though a bit skeptical at first, I now greatly appreciate you nudging me along on the string the beads activity - it was seriously the highlight of the reception for our guests. I really didn't know what to expect, but when I walked in the room, I saw all these gorgeous beads scattered amongst flowers and candles and the guests were scurrying about trading pieces and mingling - just as we wanted :) Who knew that beading, not the bar and high boy cocktail tables, would create the exact casual and festive environment we were looking for. Can't say thank you enough. All the pictures as the evening progresses get really cute as ladies and men too, begin draping themselves in beads. It was really so awesome - I would recommend you suggest this to other brides - it was a HUGE huge hit! Lastly - loved all the twinkling candles and the matching mercury candle holders and vases were beautful - kind of wished I snatched a couple as souvenirs :) You really are an amzing artist and very kind and creative designer. I cannot say thank-you enough for the fabulous job you did - though I am sad we don't have to work together any more :( You were really great and so easy to work with - I just knew you would nail it and I didn't have to think twice. Perhaps we will see you around as Andy & I try to visit the Mt. Washington often and hopefully you'll be available to stlye our big 10 year anniversary bash we hope to have there. Deepest gratitude and thank-you! Love, Christine (& Andy too)

Ivy & Aster did the flowers at our wedding, and Sara got it exactly right! My mom and I love flowers so it was an important part of the day for us. Sara understood what we were going for (gardeny, romantic, birch accents) and was able to translate our vision to reality. She suggested her ideas and details along the way to make sure it was just right and made it all come together. The flowers and design was absolutely perfect for the wedding, and everyone raved about how beautiful it was! Working with Sara was great, and I highly recommend her as a wedding florist!

Sara was recommended to me through a friend. I have very little experience with decorations and flowers themselves so I was in need of someone who knew what they are doing and who was willing to help me create the atmosphere and scene I wanted for the wedding. Sara was great!! We talked about everything from the girls bouquets to the table decorations and the flower arrangements for the ceremony. Sara was so patient listening to me ramble about what I thought I wanted and things I had that I wanted to incorporate into the scene. She developed the outline of what everything would look like and explained everything to make sure I liked it. She even incorporated the little items I had!! Sara is very personable and knowledgeable about her floral designs. All of the arrangements were beautiful and guests were telling me about how gorgeous they were all night and the following months. Sara was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend Ivy and Aster to anyone for any event!!
