The Painted Tulip / Floral & Event Design

ourselves), a bridal bouquet, two large bouquets for the wine barrels at our wedding, and flower pieces to hang on an arbor. We picked up the flowers the day prior to the wedding and set up everything ourselves to save a bit of money. The flowers were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and exactly how I imagined. My sister and mom picked up the flowers the day prior to the wedding and had a great time with that; Nicole apparently helped them pack the car so that the flowers stayed beautiful and fresh despite the drive to the venue.

did a great job and even incorporated some unexpected flowers that really made everything pop. There was a bit of inflation added to the final payment but when you see how hard they all work and the final product it will all make sense. I would have no problem suggesting her to any future bride.

decor, to fragrant bouquets, to potted plant centerpieces that she grew herself, to tree saplings in our tent, to decorating our *pie canoe* with sunflowers, she executed everything flawlessly. All of the decorations looked so amazing and we are so happy that we chose to work with Nicole for our wedding day. Thanks Nicole, we love you!

f her flowers, and it really shows because they stayed fresh for so long. She is artistic in her color choices and how she puts her bouquets together, the flowers turned out simply stunning. I tried to give her a lot of freedom to do what she thought would look best and she absolutely exceeded my expectations.

e was wonderful. Any changes I wanted to make to her proposal she was very receptive to.

oughtful on a personal level.

ower arrangements Nicole provided. The Painted Tulip was my star vendor, in a wedding full of 5-star vendors. Nicole spent a lot of time and effort with me planning out every last detail- from the beautiful and romantic escort card table involving bountiful ivory candles and florals, to the artfully crafted centerpieces in alternating size with scattered rose petals, and the jaw-dropping chuppah and full bouquets- they were all pitch perfect, rock-star gorgeous. She understands how to achieve a grand, luxe, and "big" wedding while offering a TON of value for what you pay. While a lot of her arrangements are rustic (it is Vermont, afterall!) Nicole worked to truly understand my vision and what we wanted out of our flowers. I wanted all white flowers and to create a dramatic appeal in an otherwise plain space. She met and exceeded my expectations, transforming the space into a modern yet organic fairytale scene. Nicole is a true artist and can work with any given style. She was there bright and early and brought a skilled team to set up the wedding decor, and they were hard at work all day to make our wedding drop-dead beautiful. I am so very grateful for Nicole and her team for a job so masterfully done.

ous wedding websites. However, she behaved extremely unprofessional the day before the wedding. She actually screamed obscenities at the groom when he went to pick up the flowers! The last thing a bride needs before her wedding day is any stress caused by such an unprofessional florist!

perfectly. When I first walked into the ceremony and reception site, I could not believe how beautiful it was.

et was....and the prices were very reasonable! I would highly recommend The Painted Tulip for all your wedding floral needs.
