Beautiful flowers

Did an impressive job of making floral arrangement that were both seasonal and the colors that we wanted. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were at the wedding. Thank you!

Instagram-worthy flowers

Emily was one of my all-time favorite vendors to work with. I was absolutely useless in making any decisions in terms of wedding colors, flowers, etc. She asked me a few questions at our initial meeting to get a better feel for what our wedding would be like in terms of atmosphere and location and was able to put together the most stunning bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor I have seen, and that includes pieces I have seen on Pinterest and Instagram. She was extremely flexible as I kept adding on items I wanted at the last minute (greenery around a bannister, a few flower pins for my hair, etc) and has competitive pricing to boot! She sends you a PDF with what will be in each bouquet or requested item and breaks it down so easily with pictures, names, and prices. She absolutely goes the extra mile to make sure everything you want happens flawlessly. I couldn't recommend Emily enough.

Wonderful design and amazing to work with!

Emily was amazing to work with. When I first contacted her requesting a bid for my wedding, I outlined a few of my design choices. The first thing she did was to schedule a phone call with me to make sure she understood where my priorities were with my design. After our discussion, she sent me some very helpful design images and invoice estimates that were updated to any changes we made. She was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process, and she kept her prices reasonable and within our original budget. Any time I asked about a change that would increase the estimate above a previous one, she would confirm the increase before applying the change to my design. She would then send me an updated invoice so I knew exactly what my costs were.

Emily made sure to talk to me over the phone and via email several times leading up to my wedding. She helped to raise questions to ask my venue when I was considering certain design aspects (i.e. if the tapered candles would be allowed). I had no concerns leading up to my wedding thanks to Emily’s attention to detail.

When my wedding day arrived, she managed to arrive early and set up the florals most of the way before I even noticed. The bouquets were all stunning, the centerpieces everything I imagined and more, and her attention to detail really showed through. We had asked her to wrap my bouquet in some of the lace from my grandmother’s wedding dress and my husband’s boutonniere in some of his grandmothers’ wedding dress. We provided more than what was required, and Emily returned the unneeded materials for us to keep as an heirloom.

I honestly can’t sing enough praises about Emily’s attention to detail and beautiful designs. She will be my first call if I ever need florals for another event in Maine.

Emily, thank you for creating the wedding of our dreams! From the moment we first met, I placed all my faith in you, and you exceeded those expectations. You brought our Tuscan themed vision to life and created the most beautiful arrangements and bouquets. The attention to detail was impeccable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WOW the flowers were stunning! I was probably not the easiest customer to work with because I don’t know anything about flowers or color schemes and really didn’t know how to express what I wanted. All I knew I wanted was a “wildflower” look and bright colors, and Emily turned this request into a stunning array of flowers. The bouquets were gorgeous and the table arrangements were perfect. Definitely a great pick!

Emily is an artist with her floral designs and we were so happy with all of the florals and greenery for our wedding. They were stunning. She was a joy to work with, she was so patient with me as we worked to figure out the design of the wedding (which I switch a few different times) and supplied helpful suggestions and details. She knew exactly what would work with the space and how to execute my vision. Everything was perfectly detailed and her team did an amazing job setting up the space. I would highly recommend her!

Emily was wonderful to work with: she was very responsive to all of my emails since I live 2 states away and she was very flexible about the many changes from when we signed our contract 10 months out from our wedding to when things actually happened. Our flowers were beautiful, seasonal and fit our venue perfectly. I had spoken with 5 or more other florists prior to getting Emily's name from our cake baker- I'm so glad that we called her! We would absolutely recommend Emily for other events

Emily was amazing to work with. I had very little in mind when it came to what the flowers at our wedding would look, and she managed to blow me away! She was always so responsive, and really listened to what my likes and dislikes were (even though I could only describe 3 flowers by name!). I could not have asked for a better person to work with throughout the wedding planning process.

Emily Carter is a shining star in not only floral design but the wedding industry as a whole. Her knowledge of the wedding and floral industries are invaluable. Add this to her amazing floral talents, excellent customer service and A+ professionalism, makes Emily Carter a true gem. Emily's design process is seamless, first listening to the client's thoughts, then asking questions, providing thoughts not only on the florals but overall design and finally drafting an extremely helpful visual proposal. Emily's visual proposal is immensely helpful as it leaves the client with no questions or concerns on how these finished designs will look. In speaking of Emily's finished designs, they are always lush, fresh and a real showstopper. I can't say enough good things about Emily Carter Floral Designs.
