Gorgeous, bright, vibrant flowers -- HIGHLY recommend

Ashley put together the most beautiful florals for our wedding. I sent her a reference photo of a bouquet I liked and she ran with that to design a gorgeous arrangement for our chuppah, my bouquet, and our reception space. My suggestion to brides -- don't micromanage your florist. We loved not knowing exactly what we were going to get and honestly would not have been able to plan it better than what Ashley provided. We wanted flowers that were joyful, fun, and vibrant and she DELIVERED. Could not have been happier with them on the day of and they are stunning in all the photos. Very grateful, thank you, Ashley!

Wedding day florists

Ashley was a delight to work with. I provided my image of how I imagined my bouquet and centerpieces would be, and she blew it out of the park. I was so impressed and happy with everything she did for us. Ashley was great to work with and so flexible with changes

Stop looking!! Hire C&A Event Planning NOW!

There aren’t enough wonderful things I can say about C&A Event Planning! From the moment I contacted Ashley about hiring her to do our wedding florals I knew I was in good hands. They took my mood board and recommended the most perfect blooms to fit the whimsical yet romantic vibe I was after in the perfect color palette to match our theme! Working with them was lovely, from day one throughout the whole process. Ashley made everything so simple for us! The bouquet she created and loose blooms she recommended were the most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen! I loved them so much I saved as many as I could and had them pressed and preserved so I can enjoy them for years to come! Working with C&A Event Planning was such a joy and I truly cannot recommend them enough! Stop looking for a planner and florist, hire C&A Event Planning if you want an incredible experience with lovely ladies!

Turning Stone Wedding 10.11.2024

I used C&A Event Planning for floral and decor help and I am SO glad that I did! Ashley was simply amazing to work with. She took a lot of time to create a vision board that matched all of my requests and executed it perfectly. My florals exceeded my expectations and were one of my favorite things about the day! Ashley also did a great job decorating my venue. I knew I did not want to stress about this the day of, and with minimal instruction, Ashley made the venue look perfect. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for floral and planning help!

Beautiful flowers!

C&A Event Planning was so incredibly easy to work with for our floral arrangements. I described the colors I was looking for, they sent over some pictures of possible bouquets, and I fell in love with one of the examples. They brought it, and all of my other ideas to life! I had so many compliments on the flowers from our wedding & it was all because of them!

Thank you Ashley and team!

We are so glad that we went with C & A Event Planning for our wedding flowers. Ashley was incredibly organized and thoughtful about our wedding flowers, including providing questionnaires that helped to make the planning process seamless. She also provided helpful ideas based on the inspiration photos that I shared and really put the finishing touches on our wedding. She was even able to provide flowers for my hair, which was a ton of fun and made the big day feel even more special. Ashley is outstanding and worked so seamlessly with our other all-star vendors. Very grateful to her for making our day special.

Beautiful Wedding Florals!!!

We used C & A Event Planning just for their florist services, and working with Ashley on our wedding florals was an absolutely joy! We told Ashley our budget and she helped us come up with so many different options and arrangements for us to get the look we wanted without going over budget. She graciously answered my million questions and proposals throughout the wedding planning process, and worked together with my wedding coordinator to make it all happen. All of the flowers turned out absolutely stunning! From the ceremony arch to the bouquets to the table arrangements - everything was so gorgeous and exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks so much again for everything, Ashley!

Highly Recommend!

Ashley was fantastic. We worked with her for the middle tier wedding planning option and for florals. She was super helpful throughout our planning experience and we loved that we had unlimited emails back and forth! She always got back to us quickly and had great recommendations. She was incredibly helpful as the wedding got closer and we were putting all the finishing touches on everything. She also did a fantastic job with our florals. We had a barn wedding and she nailed the vibe. Highly recommend working with Ashley!

Both are extremely detail oriented and work well as a mother/daughter team. We were so sad to see them leave for New York, but know they are flourishing in their business and we couldn't be happier for them! We highly recommend them for your next event!
