We loved Carol Lynn's!

I loved our flowers/décor at the wedding, thanks to this vendor. I'm especially impressed with Carol Lynn's ability to my pretty unsophisticated desires for a wedding bouquet/vibe, and turn it into something real and beautiful and exactly what I wanted. The florist was incredibly amenable to changing the design during our conversations, which I greatly appreciated. She sets up pinterest boards to share what your vision and her interpretations may be, which really helped me visualize what she was talking about, since I don't know a lot abut flowers. I'm a huge fan, and they are totally worth it!

Floral masterpieces

I can not say enough wonderful things about Ruth! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and met with me frequently. She was patient as we constructed my vision for my floral arrangements. She is very knowledgeable about florals and is willing to talk you through various options. I absolutely loved all of my arrangements, but I was obsessed with her creation for my sweetheart table. We wanted it to be a focal point and that it was! I highly recommend Carol Lynn’s. My wedding was absolutely beautiful with her floral masterpieces!

Beautiful flowers

Carol Lynn Flowers, specifically Ruth, brought my daughter's vision to life. The bouquets were stunning, with seasonal flowers and greenery complimenting the dresses and the ceremony decor. Likewise the table flowers and greenery were beautiful. They provided votives and lanterns that added to the romantic ambience during the ceremony and reception. Very responsive to ideas and budget considerations.

Unique, stunning floral design

Working with Ruth to design my wedding florals was easy and comfortable. I don't have an eye for design but I know what I like when I see it, so Ruth's use of Pinterest boards was super helpful. She's very organized and knowledgable. I also really appreciated how she helped to cut down costs when I got cold feet with the budget towards the end. My cascading bouquet that day was unique and breathtaking, and all the other details were perfect. Thank you Carol Lynn!

Amazing work!

Ruth at Carol Lynn is AMAZING. My centerpieces, bouquets, and boutineres were EXACTLY what I wanted. She went out of her way to deliver the bouquets to a different location for our pictures, and she always replied to my questions promptly. 10/10 would recommend!

With the stress involved in planning a wedding, trust in my vendors was so important to me. Ruth at Carol Lynn's put me at ease from day one. She listened to my vision, understood my budgetary restraints, and I felt like she was always working to find a perfect solution for me without pressuring or up-selling me. She met with me numerous times and always answered my emails promptly. In the last few weeks before my wedding, I would message her just for her opinion on the style of my vases and whether or not I should use an arbor - I knew that she understood the look I wanted, and trusted her opinion more than most! I decided last-minute to use a floral hair piece rather than a veil, and what Carol Lynn's came up with was the perfect final touch I was looking for. I highly recommend Carol Lynn's to anyone considering florals for their wedding or other event!

Absolutely fabulous in every way! From the first appointment I had complete confidence Ruth would provide not only beautiful flowers but the type of input which would realize my daughter 's vision of her wedding. She listened to what my daughter had in mind for her flowers and the table and venue decor and immediately started giving her ideas for what she could do to pull it all together. She created a Pinterest board and started pulling flowers and greenery which would fit the venue (Evans Orchard Event Barn) and the time of year (August 2017). She helped pick flowers which would be in season to control costs but give a lush, elegant and expensive feel. She had lanterns we were able to use for table decor which turned out to be absolutely beaufiful that evening. My daughter's bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquets were gorgeous! Even the tiny toss bouquet and boutonnieres were beautiful! She did a greenery and flowers rope for the outdoor cross which was so beautiful we left it at Evans so others could view it. On the day of the wedding, she came on time with her staff and made sure everything was absolutely perfect before she left. I cannot say enough great things about working with Ruth and Carol Lynn Events! She made my daughter and son-in-law's wedding beautiful beyond words!

We had such a great experience working with Ruth from Carol Lynn Originals and Events for my wedding flowers. She was willing to work with us on picking flowers that would look great but also fit our price range. She has a calm and pleasant demeanor that puts you totally at ease. Her Pinterest board she made prior to my day helped me envision exactly what I would be getting. On my 6/24/17 wedding, the Pinterest board came to life. The bouquets and corsages were gorgeous, and the centerpieces at the reception were exactly what we pictured. I would recommend Carol Lynn Originals & Events for any of your floral needs. Ruth is professional, kind, and amazing to work with!
