Vito & team are FABULOUS!! Vito worked with me from start to finish to design our bouquets and centerpieces based on a color scheme and a few Pinterest pictures. Once Vito learned I was open to different flower types and designs (I don't know much about flowers and I'm particular about color), his creativity started to flow and the outcome was absolutely stunning!!! I got so many compliments on the beatiful flowers and they really "popped" in pictures. Knowing I'm particular about colors, Vito even called me a few days before the wedding when our flowers came in to check to see if I wanted to swap out one of the flowers because they came in more purple than pink. Vito is amazing and Kathleen could not have been easier to work with for the invoices, paperwork, ect. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Carl Alan was simply amazing. Everyone was very impressed with their center pieces, bridal bouquets and bridesmaid bouquets. We also got uplighting through them and we were happy with everything. The were always flexible with appointment times and the appointments do take a while, but it's needed. Overall we couldnt be happier with the flowers. We worked with Vito during the meetings and Bruce did the set up the day of the wedding and everyone was just really great and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Carl Alan was recommended to me by my new spouse's uncle who is a party and event planner. They were so incredibly wonderful - we starting looking for flowers very late in the game, and Vito (the Wedding specialist) was very laid back and flexible. We got a great deal and even had the flowers delivered to our apartment door the day of! Most of all, the flowers themselves were beautiful - we got so many compliments, many of which were from perfect strangers! It really made us feel so beautiful and elegant and absolutely lovely!

"Amazing!" "Breathtaking!"

Just a couple of the words used to describe the jaw-dropping centerpieces you created for my wedding! Vito & Kathleen were so wonderful to work with and made my winter wedding dreams come true through the fabulous floral arrangements.

Philadelphia Brides: do yourself a favor and leave the floral design to the Carl Alan Team - you won't be disappointed!!

I would absolutely recommend Carl Alan to any bride and groom! From our first meeting with them, they were attentive, creative, responsive, and professional, and we felt confident immediately that in working with Carl Alan we would get great service, breathtaking flowers and professional expertise, which is EXACTLY what we got! It was wonderful, as a bride, to be able to sit back and feel confident that they would deliver exactly what they promised, within budget and on time, and they did. Our consultations with our designer were some of the most fun meetings we had, and Vito immediately understood the look we were going for and made it happen. They worked within our budget, and were able to re-purpose some of our flowers from an centerpiece that we ended up not needing as a stunning decoration on our escort card table. The centerpieces were absolute show-stoppers, dramatic and beautiful, and were the talk of the reception, and my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely gorgeous. We got a lot of positive feedback from our guests, and we were thrilled with the entire experience! Amazing quality flowers, incredibly creativity and artistry in the design, and 100% reliable service both beforehand and day-of. I would use them again in a second, and we are so grateful to Carl Alan for helping to make our wedding day so beautiful!!!

This vendor was very easy to work with. Kate, the customer contact, was highly responsive and flexible on options. She communicated with me about the order in appropriate detail and made adjustments as necessary. Vito, the designer is highly energetic, passionate about his work, creative and intuitive. He spent a significant amount of time with me hashing out my preferences.

Kate, Vito and the entire team at Carl Alan are outstanding! I found them to be super easy to work with and quick with responses to emails AND phone calls. I was wowed… constantly! During our first meeting with Vito I felt like he understood exactly what I wanted my dream flowers to look like. On the day of my wedding they brought the bouquets to the room I was getting ready in and I was shocked at how beautiful they were. The ballroom looked outstanding with the candle lit flowers on each table! They captured my dreams and made it a reality! The day of our wedding the mother of the groom’s flower broke while taking pictures prior to the ceremony. By the time we were back from pictures they had delivered a new corsage. The flower girl LOVED the petals, they were so soft! She also had a corsage which was just her size! I urge you to pick Carl Alan for your wedding. You will be beyond amazed with the results!

The folks at Carl Alan were fantastic. From my initial meeting (where I was treated like an old friend), to my wedding day, I could not have been more pleased with the service I received. They offered great ideas and really helped me stay within the budget I had to work with, all while bringing my vision to life. I would highly recommend you check them out.

Working with Vito was so fun! He listened to my ideas and then brought in samples of the flowers I wanted. It was so much easier seeing it all put together and adding in his ideas. I had complete trust in him that my flowers would be exactly what I wanted. But they were a thousand times better when I saw the finished product. The price is reasonable, the staff is friendly, and Vito is awesome! I would use them again and again!!! PS- I was married 10 days ago and my bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, and spare boutinere are all still going strong in a vase!

One word, WOW! The entire team at Carl Alan exceeded all of my expectations!! I worked with Vito to create my vision. I love that Carl Alan brings you back in to see your centerpieces before your actual wedding day. During this appointment we were able to make some minor adjustments. When I walked into my reception, I was simply blown away. It was everything I had asked for and more! My bridal bouquet was also AMAZING! Everyone was complimenting it  I showed a picture of what I wanted to Vito and he and his team made it come to life (it was actually much better than the picture!) Thank you to Carl as well for being such a joy and Kathleen who was able to make sure all the administration details were correct. I can’t wait to get my professional photos and will be sure to spread the word to everyone about how great this floral design team is!! KUDOS and THANK YOU again for everything.

From the minute I walked into our first appointment at Carl Alan we felt extremely comfortable. Using them as our florist was a very easy decision. Vito was amazing and knew exactly what I wanted right from the start!!! They were also very flexible with any changes throughout the planning process. Our wedding was beautiful!!!

Where do I begin with all of the good things I want to say about Carl Alan Floral? I worked with Adam and he was awesome. He went above and beyond to implement my vision and to make sure that the flowers were perfect. He even gave me his cell number and did not even seem upset when I called him directly (by mistake) when he was on vacation…
It is rare to encounter a person who is so obviously passionate about his work, embraces a challenge, and then can exceed expectations. I had given him photos of bouquets and table arrangements that I loved and he was able to make them come to life, even sourcing the perfect ribbon and finding flower vendors to buy from in order to stay within my budget so they would still look fabulous. He’s extremely detail oriented and was willing to help me with whatever I needed. If you have the opportunity to work with Adam, go for it!
Another fantastic thing about working with Carl Alan Floral is that they make sample centerpieces. The day of the wedding, I was stunned because the actual arrangements looked even more fabulous than the samples.
The friendly delivery person (wish I could remember his name) for the personal flowers had to bring them to two different hotels. He arrived on time and everything was as requested, but even more beautiful than expected. My bouquet was so incredible that I wanted to find a way to preserve it.
Everyone at the wedding, from the photographer to the guests told us how beautiful the flowers were. Usually, when I’ve talked to my friends, mother, aunt, etc. about their wedding planning/outcome, their one complaint has usually been about their flowers not looking as they’d hoped. I can honestly say that my wedding flowers looked more beautiful than I could have possibly dreamed. Thank you so much to Carl Alan Floral and Adam for making everything so special and perfect- I really can’t thank you enough.

I had visited 2 other floral shops before I met with Carl Alan. I felt like the other 2 laughed at my flower budget. I appreciated the fact that Carl Alan listened to my estimate and then helped me pick flowers accordingly. The 3 hour consultation also helped me in finalizing my decision to go with them. They actually help you design your actual bouquets and centerpieces right then and you can still choose to not use them. I thought that was a very unique service I didnt find at other vendors. Everything we worked on during that consultation were exactly how they were presented the day of my wedding. I was very pleased with all my arrangements and it made my day that much better. Thanks!

From the first visit until the "big day" the entire team at Carl Alan was professional, kind and aimed to make us happy with the end result.
Absolutely beautiful flowers and centerpieces. With arrangments that went from the church, to the cocktails and to the reception :) changing design each step of the way. We got the most use out of our floral selection and Adam was absolutely amazing to work with!
