We were incredibly happy with all of the flower arrangements, planning/coordination, and setup from Watershed Floral. The event was stunning and they were very easy to work with. We ended up with something that was absolutely beautiful and within our budget. Easiest wedding decision you’ll make.
Sarah was amazing to work with! Our wedding florals were more beautiful than I could have imagined. From the bouquets to centerpieces I was blown away - we couldn't have been happier with our fall florals. We had our wedding and reception on two separate dates and she was able to keep the flower colors similar yet styles different to fit both of our events. Thank you Sarah and the Watershed Team.
I cannot recommend the Watershed Floral team enough! We were fortunate to have Sarah and her talented team do our florals for our August wedding and she brought my Pinterest vision board to life beyond my wildest dreams. After one call with Sarah she eased every concern I had, provided color scheme recommendations based on our overall wedding aesthetic, provided beautiful vessel rentals, brainstormed ideas on repurposing florals to stay within budget and went above and beyond the day of creating absolutely breathtaking arrangements. One of the best investments we made for our special day! THANK YOU!!
Sarah created a beautiful scene for us on our wedding day, as well as for our rehearsal dinner. Walking down into our tent and seeing how beautiful everything looked was such a special part of the day for me, and it was really even better than I had envisioned. I am not always the best at being able to articulate my vision, but Sarah knew all the questions to ask to clarify and working together on a Pinterest board was super helpful. She was easy to work with, and considering the challenges of the pandemic and how swamped all vendors have been, she was very responsive. She was also very conscious of our budget, and had a ton of great ideas for how to give us the biggest bang for our buck. I wanted it to feel like there were flowers everywhere, and she absolutely delivered without breaking the bank. I also loved her emphasis on using locally sourced flowers as much as possible, and I only wish I lived closer so I could continue to order bouquets during the year! If you are looking for gorgeous but still laid back and down to earth florals, I cannot recommend Sarah enough!
Sarah & the Watershed team did the florals for our wedding, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. Sarah understood exactly what we were looking for in terms of aesthetic and style, and her arrangements, bouquets & pieces were absolutely stunning. She was very easy to work with and professional and her fun and positive energy was such a lovely addition to our wedding day. Our other vendors were also quick to say how easy she was to collaborate with. Would 10/10 recommend Watershed for any wedding or event!
Sarah is truly a gem of a human, and stunning florist to boot! Her eye is impeccable, and you can tell she's a true artist when she puts together bouquets and installations. I had the pleasure of hiring her for my wedding in Portland, and she did not disappoint! She was very organized, kind, and professional throughout the whole process—We had a few phone calls leading up to the big day to make sure we were on the same page, and then she came the day before the wedding to get everything set up with her team to make sure it would be perfect. We had a large ceiling installation that hung over the dance floor, and a big metal hoop that we had covered with flowers as the altar, and she (and her team!) executed those flawlessly, not to mention they built all of that on top of creating multiple bouquets, garlands, table runners, etc. She is just amazing!! Everyone was talking about how gorgeous our flowers were the whole day! I would definitely recommend hiring Sarah / Watershed Floral to do your wedding, you will be soooo happy that you did :)
Sarah was professional and set realistic expectations throughout the entire process. She knew our budget and was very honest as to what we could and could not have within it. Ultimately we decided to increase the budget to bump up our centerpieces and add some other accent garland throughout, but appreciated her showing us the differences - and being able to work with us, regardless of our initial budget. My boquet was simply magical - I had not put much thought into that element and she just rocked it. It was a dream and I truly enjoyed working with her.
Our wedding flowers could not have been more wonderful and neither could Sarah
Everything was easy from start to finish and as a bride owning the majority of planning myself, I appreciated that so much. Sarah has an amazing eye and creates beautiful magazine level florals and not only is she creative, but she was always so organized and on top of everything.
We received compliments on our flowers for weeks after the wedding and could not recommend Sarah more highly!
Sarah and the whole Watershed floral team is so amazing!! Sarah was always so responsive and excited to talk about planning as well as being incredibly flexible along the way as we tweaked the plans leading up to the wedding. On wedding day, the FLOWERS were absolutely STUNNING !! Everything about working with Watershed was truly wonderful, highly recommend!!
Sarah was just as amazing as she seemed on Instagram. She was able to capture my vision for the floral arrangements needed for the wedding. I would recommend her for all your floral needs!
Sarah and her team at Watershed Floral provided exceptional floral arrangements for my wedding. She spent a great deal of time and effort communicating with me in the months preceding the wedding about my vision and desires and, to say the least, she blew me away with her ability to create exactly what I envisioned - classy and vintage vibes with a natural, muted, autumnal color palette. Whatever you're feeling for your wedding, Sarah is sure to provide. The design and execution was impeccable, meticulous, stunningly beautiful, and unique. Every single guest at our wedding commented on the sheer elegance and charm of the flowers. The coordination and communication was extremely professional and timely, and in every moment that we shared, I was at ease. I cannot emphasize enough how pleased we were with her business and floral designs. Sarah is a true artist!
Sarah of Watershed Floral made me feel like a wood nymph goddess on my wedding day, thanks to her spectacular arrangements and creativity.
I told her during the consultation that I wanted something wild, organic, and untidy, with trailing greenery and splashes of blue, for my bouquets and the ceremony arbor. She delivered arrangements so stunning and whimsical, I felt like a character in a Hans Christian Andersen novel.
I appreciated that Sarah prepared a Pinterest board to show me what she had in mind for the floral design. After seeing it for the first time, I asked that we swap out the large compote vases for clusters of small bud vases on the dining table. I was very pleased with the results, and I kept all the vases!
Sarah was punctual, professional, and a joy to be around. I highly recommend her work!
I can’t say enough good things about Sarah and her team. I was very nervous about my flowers. Mainly because nothing I found on Pinterest or on the internet was what I wanted. Sarah has little to go off of. I nearly cried when I saw my flowers. She NAILED it. I wish they would last forever. Both my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were better than I could ever have imagined or pictured myself. From start to finish Watershed Floral was spectacular.
Sarah is amazing at her craft and so wonderful to work with. Her communication throughout the months leading up to the wedding was excellent and she incorporated all of the elements that we had discussed. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and cake floral arrived on time and were absolutely stunning as well as unique. My bridal bouquet was perfect and all of our guests commented on how big and beautiful it was. I also loved Sarah's dedication to sourcing the flowers and greenery locally.
If you want unforgettable floral at your wedding, I would highly recommend working with Sarah at Watershed Floral.
I recently worked on a wedding with Sarah and the Watershed team and it was a great experience from start to finish. Sarah was able to beautifully interpret my client's vision from just a few images. She was a pleasure to work without throughout the planning process and was thoughtful and creative with every aspect of the design. The final product was stunning, even beyond what the bride had envisioned. I can't recommend her highly enough!
I can't say enough about how great Watershed Floral and Sarah are! So truly talented! I sent Sarah one picture of a bouquet I liked and she completely understood me! She designed everything around the one picture! She also patiently worked with me while I changed my order around and added and subtracted items. For a minute I was worried about the corsages looking like something out a grocery store for a prom. I don't know why I worried. They were beautiful! They looked like beautiful bracelets! I also ordered flower crowns for my flower girls. I thought they would look like a normal flower crown, Sarah is so creative! They were anything but standard! Everyone loved the flowers! I highly highly recommend Watershed!
Watershed Floral & Sarah did my personal flowers for our wedding. Sarah was so easy to communicate with and her process of sharing Pinterest ideas was really fun! I was so excited to get my bouquets & boutonnieres the day of our wedding if felt as if I was receiving a special present. The flowers were better than I imagined and delivered fresh & right on time. I would recommend Watershed floral over & over again to any bride. Thank you Sarah for making our personal flowers incredibly beautiful works of art that took our wedding aesthetics to another level.
I cannot say enough positive things about Sarah and her beautiful floral design work. Sarah was recommended to us by two friends from college who were recently married and had worked with Sarah for their wedding floral arrangements. She responded very promptly to an online inquiry and arranged a phone conversation to discuss our event further.
After speaking with Sarah on the phone for the first time, it was immediately clear that she was not only an exceptionally wonderful human being, but that she was VERY GOOD at her job. She picked up immediately on the vibe/design I wanted for my wedding and described it back to me better than I had been able to describe it to her. She met with me in person later on in the planning process just to chat and confirm a few details, and then sent us a little surprise at the 1-month mark counting down to our wedding (totally unexpected and over-the-top awesome). On the day of the wedding, one of her staff members at Watershed Floral brought the flowers directly to our childhood homes where we were each getting ready with our respective bridal party members. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were all STUNNING. They were clearly labeled and absolutely gorgeous. We had not requested any flowers in particular and had deferred to her creative expertise - I am so glad we did! She chose PERFECT flowers and greenery and they were a sight to behold. She matched the color of the beautiful ribbons she adds to her work PERFECTLY to our color scheme. Everything was so beautiful. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I cannot thank her enough for the stunning floral design that she did for us. CHOOSE WATERSHED FLORAL FOR YOUR WEDDING/EVENT FLOWERS! You won't regret it :)
Sarah did an amazing job for our wedding! The flowers were better than we could have imagined! Our family and friends kept complimenting the them all night. Throughout the whole planning process Sarah was easy to work with and so thoughtful! We highly recommend her!!
Not only is Sarah from Watershed Floral a sweet person, she absolutely has a gift with flowers. Just check out her instagram page and you will see what I mean! Her arrangements for our wedding were absolutely stunning and put the finishing touch on our dream wedding. The delivery arrived on time, she was super patient when I made tons of small changes over the months leading up to the wedding, and had great design input for the bouquets. The flowers were amazing and Watershed Floral is definitely the best choice for wedding flowers.
Sarah did such an incredible job for our wedding in October. Going into the planning process, I didn't have much of a vision for the bouquets. I just knew I wanted Sarah to create them because I was/am obsessed with every single arrangement she posts on Instagram. With very little to work with, Sarah managed to create the most perfect bouquets and boutonnières for our day. I started tearing up the minute they were delivered to the venue.
Beyond the beautiful work she did, Sarah was also incredibly accommodating. She worked with us to remain within budget, she scheduled a check in call as the wedding got closer, and she provided flowers for our cake. She was so awesome to work with and we are so glad she was available for our wedding!
It was a delight to work with Sarah for our wedding. We didn't really know what we wanted, so she got a sense of what we liked and developed a vision based on that. She was also incredibly responsive and respectful of our budget. We ended up with gorgeous flowers that people complimented all day. Loved it and would recommend to anyone!
Sarah is such a talented florist and not to mention a total sweetheart! Everything she made for us--from the bouquets, to the boutonnieres, to the flowers hanging from chairs at the ceremony, to the centerpieces at the reception--were just outstanding. Sarah was able to turn our vague description of "we like sunflowers" into the most gorgeous and creative pieces. She was always super friendly, willing to adjust our quote over and over again (since we were kind of indecisive about things), and even sent us a one-month-before-our-wedding care package! So sweet! I highly recommend using Watershed Floral...you won't regret it!
Watershed's owner Sarah was so wonderful to work with. She has a energetic and fun personality. She made sure to get to know my husband and I; what we did, where we lived, how we met, etc. to get a feel for what was important to us and our personalities. I gave Sarah very little direction - just explained how I wanted the day to feel and I could not have dreamed of a better outcome. The centerpieces were incredible. Our guests commmented on them all night. My parents took home a centerpiece and it lasted just about 3 weeks! My bridal bouquet and the bridal partys' bouquets were stunning and made the day that much more beautiful. Sarah is incredibly kind, talented, and puts so much detail and personalization into her work. Her prices are more than reasonable and I highly recommend her for not only weddings, but any event!
Sarah did an incredible job for our wedding! She understood my vision completely and her talent and flower selection were impeccable! From the bud vases to the bouquets, everything was perfect. She was also great at making suggestions that would fit in our budget (and still be completely beautiful). It was truly an easy, fun, and stress-free process. I can't recommend Watershed Floral enough! Thank you :)
We found Sarah of Watershed Florals relatively late in the wedding planning process and originally thought we would have to settle for subpar flowers. However, as soon as we met Sarah, we felt that we had a vendor we could trust and who understood our vision for the wedding. Our anxiety about our flowers immediately vanished.
We picked up bulk flowers from Sarah the day before the wedding, and I was impressed by how hardy and healthy the flowers were. They were so fresh and the stems so sturdy, and they easily withstood all the arranging we had to do ourselves and looked stunning on our wedding day.
The day of our wedding, Sarah hand delivered our personal flowers to our getting-ready location (bride's bouquet + 4 bridesmaid bouquets + groom's bout). Again, these were magnificent and took our breath away. I was especially happy with the ribbon Sarah chose for my bouquet, which she specifically found for me based on a similar ribbon I had seen in a bridal magazine and pointed out to her during our first meeting.
Overall, we loved the way all our flowers turned out and are extremely happy we went with Watershed Florals! We felt that we got great value for the price we paid, and Sarah is the sweetest wedding vendor you could work with!
Sarah is great. She is helpful about sitting down with you and talking about what kind of look you're going for, and what she suggests. We had a very simple wedding and the look she came up with was organic and lovely. And, though it sounds odd, her boutonnieres were the best things ever--we got so many compliments on that one item alone!
Sarah was the friend of one of the groom's and she was able to talk through a vision with them, as they had no idea what they wanted for decor for their wedding celebration. She was able to create and complete a wedding decor that was masculine, yet highlighted floral throughout their event spaces. I loved the use of one type of flower at each of the guest dinner tables and then the feature wall with hanging flowers was such a hit!
Sarah has not only the creative skills necessary for a Florist, she is also very personable and delivers on what she promises. She was a joy to work with throughout the process and on the wedding day.
Working with Sarah at Watershed Floral was easy and enjoyable. I especially liked that she focused on flowers that were in season locally. We planned our wedding from out of town, so we had an initial meeting a few months before to discuss colors and flowers that we wanted to use. After that, we communicated over email, and Sarah was very helpful in nailing down the details of table layouts, container sizes, etc.
Her expertise with mixing colors and textures resulted in lovely arrangements for both the bouquets and the tables.
