    Incredible, unique, gorgeous!

    Melissa is amazing! Right from the beginning she created a collaboration with us in order to help create our vision for the day. Melissa had many creative ideas, was really resourceful, environmentally conscious, and created really beautiful work. She created a beautiful piece for our arbor, bouquets, floral pieces for my hair, and created and designed our center pieces. Her work enhanced the natural beauty of Vermont and made us feel we were in a magical place. We got excited every time we talked with her because of her passion for her work and her amazing ideas and insights! We can not recommend her enough!

    Most beautiful wedding flowers

    The flowers for my wedding exceeded all of my expectations and they were already high! Absolutely stunning and beautiful. Many people remarked that they were the best wedding flowers they had ever seen. Working with Melissa was so easy - all I did was chat with her a few times, send her some inspiration photos and she did the rest! She is absolutely lovely! I cannot recommend Fast Pony Flowers enough. You will not regret it!

    The best wedding day flowers!

    Absolutely would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for stunning wedding day flowers & a great personalized experience! She was fantastic to work with through the whole process -- from the very beginning when helping a newbie like me think through and share her expertise on what flowers / color palette would work well for our setting and color scheme for the wedding, to ensuring the flowers were properly cared for in water before the heat of the day, to helping arrange them in different parts of the setting thorughout the wedding. She put a lot of thought and care into the whole event, and it truly felt personalized & special.

    The flowers themselves were gorgeous and fit our day perfectly. And Melissa was such a joy to work with. Thank you so much!!

    Outstanding

    Melissa was recommended to me by my wedding venue, The Grafton Inn. I can’t say enough good things about her! She has an amazing eye when it comes to flowers. She knew exactly what I was looking for and made it even better than I imagined. Since she was very familiar with the venue she was able to work with them directly for set up. This was extremely helpful because it was one less thing I had to worry about day of. I would absolutely recommend Fast Pony Flowers!

    Perfect flowers!

    Oh my Lord… Melissa literally created my dream wedding with her amazing skills and talents. The bouquets and decorations were gorgeous and I nearly cried when I saw my bouquet. She knows exactly how to take your vision and make it a reality. And she’s also the sweetest human known to man. She made our special day perfect and I cannot thank her lovely self enough for that.

    Stunning flowers

    Fast Pony was a dream to work with. Guests said the arrangement on the arbor in particular was the most beautiful they had ever seen. Melissa was so easy to work with and very responsive. When one of the colors we had requested for the bouquet didn't work out with the suppliers she pivoted and we trusted her professional decision and are so glad that we did. The results were amazing. Would highly recommend Fast Pony to everyone.

    Fastpony MADE our wedding!

    Melissa with Fastpony Flowers absolutely MADE our wedding at The Grafton Inn. She was so responsive throughout the process. We talked on the phone and via email. She was so open to my ideas and even worked to make a special flower harness for our dog, Henry. In addition to the gorgeous bouquets (in the exact color scheme I was envisioning), Melissa also did a beautiful job with our ceremony arch. I am most grateful to how Melissa created the ambiance of my dreams with candles and flowers for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day dinner. She used candelabra, flowers, vases, picture frames, etc. to create tablescapes for both events that were just stunning. We couldn't believe it! Our guests also had only glowing reviews. Melissa is a professional with an artistic vision. She is wonderful to work with and I am so incredibly grateful that we had the opportunity to work with her. Her work really put our wedding over the top into fairytale territory.

    Fantastic, Creative, Floral Artist

    Our immense thanks to Melissa for her stunning floral designs for our Vermont woodland wedding! She flawlessly executed my vision and the outcome was nothing but perfection! We went with a green and white color palette, and she took the time to find a particular piece of greenery (blue star fern) that I was looking for and worked it into her designs. The arbor garland, vessel-free aisle arrangements, farmhouse table centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres were exactly what I was looking for!

    Delivered the wedding vibe I was seeking flawlessly!

    As the wedding planner of an Inn only 10 minutes from Melissa's farm & design studio, I've had the opportunity of working with her on many weddings. In my experience of working with her, I've never seen her repeat something - it's always one-of-a-kind magic (hence the reason I will ALWAYS recommend her!) When it came time for my own wedding, I was ecstatic. I knew that I could simply show her a few inspiration photos and explain the vibe we were going for, and she would somehow bring that to life, but beyond any expectation I could ever imagine.

    Melissa, your dreamy flowers and unique treasures were one of my favorite elements of our wedding. It just felt so romantic and natural. I will literally always remember how stunning everything looked and when you gave me my bouquet. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. You always finds a way to make each wedding unique and beautifully unusual. You are simply the most talented artist I've ever met and I'm just still so awestruck by the beauty you sprinkled upon our day. Thank you so much for everything you did!

    Fast Pony Flowers made our wedding beautiful!

    Melissa was the absolute best! She was so easy to work with. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and let her run with it and everything came out better than I could have imagined. What she does is so aesthetically appealing, unique and yet classic at the same time. She made our wedding beautiful! I highly recommend fast pony flowers.

    I decided to go with Fast Pony Flowers based on photos of other events. The arrangements are unique and she did not disappoint. My bouquet was better than what I had imagined.

    She is magic!

    Melissa did an absolutely incredible job with our wedding florals. I know next to nothing about flowers and she was able to take a description of my vision and inspiration photos and whip up something that totally surpassed my expectations. My bouquet was beautiful and the tables, arbor and all the other elements were so perfect. Melissa was prompt, super easy to communicate with and just knew exactly what I wanted (all while helping me stay within my budget!). I couldn’t be happier with how our flowers and decor came out and I HIGHLY recommend working with Melissa if you have a chance. She is magic. Thank you Melissa!!!!

    I had a fantasic time talking with Melissa about our wedding flowers. She is so talented with her craft, and I so appreciated the effort she put in to making a gorgeous floral proposal. She listens to everything you are envisioning and knows exactly what you will need for your day. Her response time is lightening speed and she is a joy to plan with!

    Melissa is the BEST!!

    Melissa at Fast Pony Flowers is a flower genius - she not only knows absolutely everything there is to know about flowers, she also has impeccable taste and a uniquely creative vision. She was kind, straightforward, and reliable to work with. She provided flowers for our welcome dinner, wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner (tables), and dancing (barn) all of which were pure perfection. I would recommend her one million times over! Thank you Melissa for blowing our minds and helping us create such a special, loving, warm, romantic vibe for our wedding. We are so grateful for you!

    Destination Winter Wonderland Wedding

    Melissa was recommended by our wedding coordinator at the Grafton Inn. Our wedding was a destination wedding, so I really threw the ball into her court. I sent her my wedding vision board and the colors for my wedding and let her run with it from there.

    She skillfully worked within my budget to create beautiful works of art. The wedding arch that she created was so stunning that our photographer decided to shoot it as the backdrop of our family photos. (This was not the backdrop that we originally planned).

    She is also one of the sweetest people that you will ever meet and is so easy to work with.

    Melissa is FANTASTIC!!! From our very first conversation I had a feeling she was just going to have the most perfect communication, flowers, and delivery. This all held true!! She literally has the best eye - I had honestly no idea what I wanted, but I knew what I liked. She made it happen! The colors, the flowers, and the pictures she would send made the process so incredibly easy. She has a vision and honestly if you just give her a few ideas of your colors and what you like then trust she will put it all together.

    Melissa is truly a flower goddess / farmer-extraordinaire. I had so much fun planning our wedding flowers with her and then was absolutely floored when I saw them the day of. The flowers were gorgeous. Melissa understood my style and vision quickly from the outset. I always felt like we were on the same page, and I trusted her wholeheartedly. I appreciated how detail-oriented Melissa is. She was always very responsive and happy to discuss any small aspect of the flowers. Melissa is so very talented and a really warm, kind-hearted person. She also has a great sense of humor which is very refreshing when you're stressed planning a wedding! We were so glad we hired her and highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the area!!

    Beautiful!

    Melissa was perfectly able to capture our vision. She created the most beautiful bridal bouquet with hand dyed ribbon along with our wedding parties flowers. She made greenery pieces for fireplace in the ceremony room and for our long table, which she also delivered and set up for us!

    Melissa at Fast Pony Flowers went above and beyond our expectations to deliver the most beautiful arrangements for our big day! I had some ideas about what I was envisioning and Melissa helped shape them deliver beyond my expectations!! She presented a lot of options in regards to colors, ribbons, details etc. making sure we had the absolute best of everything. We relied a lot on her creativity and artistic talents to design arrangements and table scapes. She was super responsive, incredibly kind, and absolute joy to work with. We highly recommend her!!

    Melissa was wonderful to work with. She is very accommodating, personable, and talented. When I was first looking for a florist, I sent out numerous inquiries at once. And while other florists essentially scoffed at or acted inconvenienced by my budget, she was very enthusiastic and willing to work within it. Her flowers were nothing short of incredible. I'm serious, I almost fell over when I first saw my bouquet. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined. I was so happy with everything, from the corsages and boutonnieres to the arbor and aisle flowers. She crafted a very adorable basket for my flower girl. She also put together a gorgeous hairpiece for me when I requested it at the last minute. She went above and beyond, and I cannot begin to emphasize how happy I am that I went with Fast Pony Flowers for my wedding!

    Melissa did an incredible job on our flowers last weekend. Melissa hand picked out some antique Urns for our ceremony, put together some amazing swag, bouquets and my husband and groomsmen loved the thistle boutonieres-- so much so one groomsman was still wearing it at brunch on sunday!! Melissa is so proactive, responsive and easy to work with-- not to mention a sweetheart. If you're looking for an organic Vermont feel-- Melissa is your Florist! Did I mention she grows all her own flowers!

    Melissa from the Little Flower Farm was far and away the best vendor and company I worked with planning my wedding.

    Working with Melissa was a wonderful experience. Getting to meet with her and decide what she would plant was unique and very rewarding. She helped me flesh out the gaps in my vision and allowed my seemingly crazy ideas to come to life.

    We were overwhelmed by Melissa's flexibility, her passion and affordability. I had the best time planning and executing all that we could dream up. Working with Melissa was also a very special experience for me. I considered her role in our wedding absolutely crucial. Her warmth and the care she took with our wedding is now a cherished memory.

    And to top it all off, the final product was breathtaking! The flowers were more beautiful and spectacular and more "me" than I could have imagined. Melissa's expertise and attention to detail allowed me to trust her completely and she proved invaluable in guiding me along the way. Her suggestions helped me capture the look and feel I was going for even when I couldn't articulate it. Our photographer, who was from out of town, said the flower were the most beautiful she'd ever seen, and she made a point to say she'd seen a lot of flowers given her profession!

    Truly memorable and remarkable experience working with Melissa and her creations will blow you away!
