Your natural talent and creativity shone through in every detail, making the entire event feel truly magical.

    What sets you apart is not only your incredible floral design skills but also your infectious positivity and encouragement throughout the process. Your happy-go-lucky attitude made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. It's clear that you have a genuine gift for what you do, and we feel fortunate to have had you as part of our wedding team.

    Our wedding day wouldn't have been as enchanting without your expertise and artistic touch. Thank you so much for your dedication, passion, and for making our celebration unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking a florist with both exceptional skills and a heartwarming personality.

    Wildflower fairytale florals of my dreams

    You can tell from the moment you meet this lady that she loves what she does and cares about her clients deeply. She worked within our fairly limited budget and went miles beyond our expectations. We were so lucky to have Ellen and recommend anyone work with her.

    EllenCara Boulder's reply:

    It was absolutely a pleasure working with you! Thank you for the opportunity and for sharing photos of your memorable day. Cheers and all the best to you!

    Best florist ever!

    The flowers that Ellen arranged for our wedding were the most beautiful I have ever seen! Our guests let us know just how gorgeous the bouquets, arrangements, and boutonnieres were. Ellen is so friendly, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. She went above and beyond to make our vision come true, and we could not be happier with the result!

    EllenCara Boulder's reply:

    It was a beautiful and memorable day to say the least. Thank you for trusting me with your wedding day florals and decor. It was truly my pleasure.

    Excellent florist.

    Ellen took our ceremony and reception florals to the next level! She was compassionate working with our budget requirements and went out of her way to incorporate dahlias that I adore. The compliments could keep coming but I’ll end this with her flowers are organic and her style is environmentally conscious for those of us who have those priorities in mind. Thank you so much Ellen, you are so talented and I’m so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with you.

    Ellen is the best!

    Ellen was incredible! She stuck with us through multiple reschedulings during COVID, and I'm so glad she did because the flowers she designed for our wedding were perfect. We didn't have a lot of concrete ideas about what we wanted, but she talked us through it and understood the atmosphere we had in mind and created really beautiful arrangements that were perfect for our fairly casual outdoor event. We loved working with her and would highly recommend her for weddings!

    Perfect choice! Ellen was wonderful to work with!

    When we were looking for flowers, we wanted a vendor who was communicative, professional, and easy to work with. Ellen was a perfect match and exceeded our expectations. We were not experts with flowers and wanted a fairly natural look. Ellen helped us pick and figure out exactly what we needed.

    My husband and his groomsmen were especially appreciative of Ellen’s help with putting on the boutonnieres, which turned out beautifully in real life and in pictures. The flowers looked great for the ceremony, and Ellen was a calming presence while we waited out the rain that came in right before.

    Altogether, we could not have asked for a better experience with our wedding flowers than what Ellen provided. Thank you again for her great help!

    EllenCara Boulder's reply:

    Thank you for your kind feedback! After rescheduling due to Covid, your day finally came and I remember your wedding like it was yesterday. It was wonderful working with you. Thank you for the honor of being your wedding florist.

    Top notch!

    Very great to work with and provided beautiful arrangements! She was very flexible when handling changes we had to make to our wedding due to Covid.

    EllenCara Boulder's reply:

    Thank you, Claire. You were so gracious throughout this journey, even while changing the vision from 120 guests down to 6 immediate family members. You were a dream bride and that man, Drew, not bad either. ;-) Congratulations on a beautiful wedding and loving start to your marriage. Keep safe, healthy and happy.
    Warmly, Ellen

    Ellen is amazing!

    We found Ellen through a random Google search and could not have been happier. She took my rather limited vision and very little direction from me and turned it into something amazing! My bouquet was more than I could have imagined, as were the bridesmaids bouquets to accent it. All of the boutonnieres slowly went up in how elaborate they were going from grandfathers to the groom. Her prices are realistic and she clearly knows what she is doing, and works with other gardens to help your wedding florals vision come to life. Ellen is so responsive and is willing to work with you when your desires may not be in season for your wedding time, and will offer alternatives that are even better. She was so motivating while planning a COVID wedding and we could not have asked for a better person to help us stay focused on such an important day in such an unexpected time. I cannot recommend EllenCara Boulder enough, and our groomsmen all want to be friends with her because she is such a great hype-man when the big day finally comes!

    EllenCara Boulder's reply:

    Thank you for taking time to offer such valued feedback. Your kind words warm my heart. I loved every minute working with/for you guys. Neither Covid restrictions, or unpredictable mountain weather could put a damper on your wedding day that radiated love and happiness. It was my honor to be a part of your wonderful celebration. Thank you for the opportunity! Best, Ellen

    Outstanding work, professional, creative, on budget, easy to work with.

    Best of the best! Ellen is so much fun to work with - Both of my daughters-in-law used her VERY happily. And as the MOG, I used her for our rehearsal dinners. She absolutely transforms a room and is not afraid of the hard work involved; including transferring flowers to the mountaintops. Works with your budget and is clever in her vision. I Give her the HIGHEST recommendation. She’s a force and I love her work! 2 pictures below are ‘Before’ so you can see how plain the room WAS. Couldn’t put them in any order....

    A-m-a-z-i-n-g

    Ellen was hands down THE best decision we made in planning our big day. She took my description of what I wanted and effortlessly made it a reality. She doesn't just think of the basics like colors and type of flower, but gets down to the minute details like wrapping each votive candle in copper wire (her idea to incorporate our wedding colors, and it was beautiful). She is SO incredibly talented and made the whole process so easy! LOVE her kind soul and beautiful work and will definitely be using her in the future!

    EllenCara Boulder's reply:

    Thank you, Kelsey! I appreciate you taking time out of your busy lives to give me feedback. Your kind words mean a lot to me. I enjoyed every element of designing and delivering your and Charlie's wedding flowers and decor. It was such fun! Thank you for the honor.
    Best, Ellen

    Outstanding

    I have never taken the time to review a vendor before but after my wedding, I knew I had to write one for EllenCara.
    I met with Ellen only once before the big day to describe what I was looking for in a bouquet/flowers. The day of the wedding I was blown away with the detail, care, and overall beauty of not only my bouquet but the bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. I would recommend Ellen to anyone and everyone!

    EllenCara Boulder's reply:

    Thank you, Dori, for your kindness. It was truly my pleasure and honor to design and deliver the flowers for your and Michael's wedding day.

    Ellen brought our dreams to reality ❤️

    We had the most incredible experience with Ellen, and I honestly could not recommend her more for your big day. Everything was so beautiful, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the way she worked with our tiny budget. I feel like there aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for Ellen. She knew exactly what I was invisioning for my wedding, and honestly over delivered. She is a miracle worker and impeccable at her craft! Thank you, Ellen, for making all my dreams come true ❤️

    I cannot say enough great things about Ellen! I am from Dallas Texas and I was planning a destination wedding in Estes Park CO on 12/06/2017. As you can imagine it is hard to choose vendors when you can't meet in person, but Ellen made me feel confident from the moment we first spoke on the phone. After I filled out her questionnaire online we se up a time for a phone consultation. She knew how stressful it can be planning a destination wedding and quickly put my mind at ease. Not five minutes into the conversation I knew she was the florist I was looking for. Based on my questionnaire and our conversation she immediately got the vision I was seeing in my head for my wedding. She told me she would bring the wow factor, and she did not disappoint! I gave her some pinterest images for inspiration of what I wanted and I just trusted her artistic ability! I'm so happy I did! I choose flowers that were out of season, which I was aware of, but Ellen had no problems getting what I asked for. She even told me some of the roses in my bridal bouquet came from a hundred year old rose bush in Holland! Talk about wow! My flowers were so gorgeous we enjoyed them for days after the wedding as well. She worked within my budget (considering my expensive taste in flowers) which was really great. She delivered everything to the house we were getting ready at right on time, as well as pinning all the boutonnieres herself. Then she proceeded to the reception space to make sure everything there was perfect. All the flowers and little details she put in around the reception space were so beautiful, and my guests were all so impressed. If your looking for a florist in the Denver area look no further then Ellen Cara! She is the best and worth every penny! Thank you, thank you Ellen for making our special day so much more magical!
