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!

The perfect pop of color!

Carl Alan did an amazing job with our wedding flowers. Greg was extremely communicative, answering questions and always willing to update designs and ideas. We had to do a little extra communication a few days before as it seemed like some of our ideas were lost in the shuffle BUT Greg came through on the day-of and everything matched our vision perfectly. We were floored when we saw the final flowers and had to stop ourselves from taking our entire sweetheart table setup home with us.

Simply Beautiful

My husband and I got married on 5/5/23 and hired Carl Alan as our florist. We had such a great experience with them. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we had asked for. Greg helped us throughout our planning process and he was awesome and a lot of fun to work with. We highly recommend them for your next event. They also do more than just flowers, they can also provide props from their humungous warehouse that has just about everything you can think of!!!!

Carl Alan Florist—fabulous!

Shout out to Greg Stone at Carl Alan Florist for the beautiful flowers for our daughter’s wedding! We had a relatively modest budget and asked Greg for his recommendations. He was a joy to work with and the flowers were amazing!

Outstanding!

There is nothing much to say except our experience with Carl Alan was outstanding. From our first meet with Greg Stone, to the constant communication, to the absolutely stunning floral arrangements at the wedding, it was perfect. We met with Greg, he was attentive to our requests, gave great insight, and executed the plan perfectly. We have nothing negative to say about this vendor. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great florist.

AMAZING Florist!! Book now!

From the very beginning the team at Carl Alan were incredible partners in bringing my vision to life! With just sending them a few inspo pics from Pinterest and a quick phone call, their proposal was dead with what I described. They were also incredibly flexible and help us develop a beautiful plan that worked with our budget and were flexible when I wanted to add some different flowers to the mix - incredible service from beginning to end. When I walked into our ballroom and saw my bouquet in the morning my mouth dropped both times - I was in awe - so incredibly beautiful and just how I dreamt it! Highly recommend Carl Alan for your wedding florals - you won't regret it!
