September 2024 Wedding Florals

Greg from Carl Alan helped us create the flowers of my dreams for our September 2024 wedding. Instead of the typical fall colors I chose a sunset color scheme for the end of summer (pinks, oranges, yellow). They turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Greg & the Carl Alan team were extremely responsive, professional but kept it fun, detailed, and really made what can be a daunting (and pricey) task pretty enjoyable. After reaching out and sending in our vision board, about 7-8 months out we met with Greg in the office and he had a fully detailed outline for us with pictures and prices all ready to walk through and discuss. He took us through the warehouse where they have almost every hardware option you could think of! We went through and picked which ones with liked and then we were on our way. Then about a month and a half out he reached out to start to nail down the finer details, we had another phone call to answer the logistical questions and it was as easy as that! And then came the wedding day...... everyone tells you that no one notices the flowers. Well they are wrong. The compliments on the flowers were endless. People were absolutely blown away. The bouquets were perfect, the colors were SPOT ON, and the centerpieces just pulled the room together like no other. I'm so glad I went with Carl Alan I would do it over again 1000x.

Everything was BEAUTIFUL!

We had a wonderful experience with Carl Alan! They worked to fit everything within our budget and really helped our vision come alive. Our floral designer, Greg, was such a treat to work with. He was very personable and so knowledgeable! Greg picked out so many options for us from flowers in the bouquets to vases for centerpieces and was very responsive and receptive to our choices. When we stepped into our venue, we were amazed at how all of the decor and center pieces ended up. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Amazing Florist

We got Married on 9/29/23 at Manayunk Brewing Company and we were blown away by the floral arrangements from Nina at Carl Alan. From the very start of planning it felt like we shared the same vision for the florals from the bouquets to the centerpieces. She worked with us to design the flowers for custom aisle arrangements we had made and we received so many compliments on all of the flowers at our wedding. We highly recommend Nina and Carl Alan Floral Designs for your Wedding!
