Fast Pony Vermont Flower Farm & Floral Design Studio

A year round floral design co. and seasonal organic flower farm. Melissa (owner farmer designer) is drawn towards romantic and evocative arrangements and bouquets, echoing nature and showcasing the timeless beauty of flowers.

As a 6th generation Vermonter and a sometime NYC dweller, Melissa is as comfortable heading into the woods in the back of a pick-up truck with a handsaw to forage the perfect branch as she is perusing velvet ribbons and exotic blooms in any of the city floral or textile markets.

Whether it is researching and growing the perfect rose, finding the loveliest vintage ribbon, or helping you imagine your beloved grandmother's broach as a clasp for your bridal bouquet, working with Melissa ensures you will together create truly unique and inspired designs for your wedding day.

Amazing florals and service

All positive things to say about Melissa and the gorgeous florals she grew and prepared for our July wedding. Melissa was so responsive and open to my visions as they changed throughout the planning process, and I was blown away when I saw how gorgeous the flowers were in person! Highly recommend. :)

Beautiful!

Melissa at Fast Pony Flowers did an amazing job with the florals for our Vermont wedding! In addition to the flowers themselves, she also offered beautiful fixtures like brass candelabras and a variety of unique vases & votives that truly set our wedding apart. She constructed hanging floral chandeliers above the dance floor that our guests raved about. On top of it all she was very kind and easy to work with. We are so grateful for our experience with Fast Pony Flowers!

Glorious!!

Fast Pony was one of our MANY vendors for our June wedding in Grafton, VT, and Melissa made the most beautiful arrangements for us! The selection really popped with the bright colors we had our guests wear, and they complimented each other perfectly. Melissa was extremely responsive, calm & easy to work with, and we didn't feel raked over the coals when it came to pricing. The Fast Pony team played an integral part in making our most-cherished day (to date!) full of wonderful memories and without hiccups. HIGHLY recommend to anyone getting married in the area...you WILL BE PLEASED!

New England Perfection

I highly recommend Melissa for any of your floral needs for weddings and events. She is so kind and incredibly talented, turning my inspiration into reality on our wedding day. Getting married during stick season in Vermont, I knew I wanted to pull in some color pops that tied back to the autumn hues. Melissa was able to create my vision for our gorgeous bouquets and ceremony arch. For the tables, she captured my cozy and intimate setting perfectly with the greenery and candles. Melissa literally can do anything to make your vision come true!!

Fast Pony Flowers was perfect for our Vermont wedding !!!

Melissa of Fast Pony Flowers was absolutely amazing to work with. We had a specific vision for our wedding at the Grafton Inn. I wanted baskets of flowers lining the aisle and ceremony spot. For my bridal bouquet I wanted it to be a single-variety, floral-only bouquet without greenery. She got the vision immediately. Everything was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you thank you, Melissa!!!

Dream wedding flowers

I had the privilege of seeing the beauty of Fast Pony flowers while touring the Grafton Inn and instantly fell in love. One of the easiest decisions was choosing Melissa/Fast Pony Flowers to be our florist for our wedding. From our first meeting to our wedding day, Melissa was patient, kind, and open to ensure our vision was brought to life. It was also so nice to utilize Melissa as an expert around what could and couldn’t work at our venue, as she has done so many weddings, and had valuable tips and feedback we would have never thought of,. Melissa is also a professional when it comes to complex family dynamics and knows how to set appropriate boundaries with your family members that never stop sending emails :) I cannot thank Melissa enough for bringing my vision to life and providing me with one of the most colorful weddings highlighting my vision and dream

Most beautiful wedding flowers

The flowers for my wedding exceeded all of my expectations and they were already high! Absolutely stunning and beautiful. Many people remarked that they were the best wedding flowers they had ever seen. Working with Melissa was so easy - all I did was chat with her a few times, send her some inspiration photos and she did the rest! She is absolutely lovely! I cannot recommend Fast Pony Flowers enough. You will not regret it!

Incredible, unique, gorgeous!

Melissa is amazing! Right from the beginning she created a collaboration with us in order to help create our vision for the day. Melissa had many creative ideas, was really resourceful, environmentally conscious, and created really beautiful work. She created a beautiful piece for our arbor, bouquets, floral pieces for my hair, and created and designed our center pieces. Her work enhanced the natural beauty of Vermont and made us feel we were in a magical place. We got excited every time we talked with her because of her passion for her work and her amazing ideas and insights! We can not recommend her enough!

The best wedding day flowers!

Absolutely would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for stunning wedding day flowers & a great personalized experience! She was fantastic to work with through the whole process -- from the very beginning when helping a newbie like me think through and share her expertise on what flowers / color palette would work well for our setting and color scheme for the wedding, to ensuring the flowers were properly cared for in water before the heat of the day, to helping arrange them in different parts of the setting thorughout the wedding. She put a lot of thought and care into the whole event, and it truly felt personalized & special.

The flowers themselves were gorgeous and fit our day perfectly. And Melissa was such a joy to work with. Thank you so much!!
