Gorgeous wedding florals

My husband and I hired Colie to do the flowers for our winter wedding. We wanted something wintry but not Christmas themed, and with a few inspiration photos (I'm really not a very creative person), she created absolutely beautiful arrangements. I gasped when I saw the bouquets for the first time, and teared up when I saw the arragements on the tables. A bonus was that she provided the vases and candles, and also took them and the leftover flowers back after the wedding, which meant I did not need to purchase vases and candles separately. I definitely recommend Flower Scout for wedding florals!

Botanical Garden Perfection

We absolutely loved working with Colie of Flower Scout. She is a true artist who is also knowledgeable and responsive. We trusted them to create the chuppah, centerpieces, flower crown, boutonnières and bouquets. They perfectly matched our Botanical Garden venue while also being unique, local and accommodating of our taste. The chuppah ended up being a true centerpiece of our formal photos.

Wonderful Florist

As someone planning a wedding from out of town AND during Covid, Colie was a dream to work with. After a quick but thorough consultation on the phone, I felt completely relaxed knowing the flowers at our wedding were going to be gorgeous with Flower Scout as our wedding florist. Even when we had to reschedule our wedding, Colie worked with us to make sure she could handle the our new date during peak wedding season and for that we are so grateful. The flowers were all so beautiful and romantic and the perfect compliment to the laid-back vibe we were going for with our wedding.

BEST Florist to go with!!

One of the easiest vendor decisions my husband and I made for our wedding! She knew exactly what I wanted and has a great design vision! I can’t recommend her enough. She will work with your budget and recommend various options to give you the look you want within your budget! She is professional and a visionary and made me stress free! Thank you Colie and team!

The fresh, romantic florals of my dreams!

Colie created the most beautiful florals for our wedding this summer in the Hudson Valley. She was awesome to work with. From the first time we chatted on the phone I could tell she 100% understood the look I was hoping for—romantic, loose, with a bit of a wildflower feel. We gave a color palette, some inspiration photos, and otherwise trusted her completely. The best part was probably the magical crown she made for me that legit made me feel like a goddess. I would highly recommend Flower Scout for your wedding! Thank you Colie!

Breathtaking Farm Flowers

Colie was wonderful to work with. She listened to all the things that we wanted, and helped to create a vision for the event. And then executed on it flawlessly. One of the main reasons we chose Flower Scout to provide our wedding flowers was because she grows a majority of the flowers herself. Our flowers were truly beautiful due to her design sense, and the fact that they were seasonal and obviously grown with love. Forever grateful for our beautiful flowers. Don't hesitate to go with Flower Scout if you want something magical.

Working with Colie was a highlight of the wedding planning process for me. Not only does she design incredibly gorgeous florals, but she's a pure delight to work with and handled every one of my questions with professionalism, patience, and kindness. I'm not especially well-versed in the world of plants and flowers, but I was able to give Colie a very vague description of a feeling I was going for and she delivered the exact vision that was inside my head. From my wild and dangly bouquet, to our massive ceremonial plinths, to the assorted living plants we used as centerpieces, every detail was exquisitely executed. But hands down, my absolute favorite decorative element of the entire wedding was the enormous hanging cloud of florals that Colie masterfully installed above our tent dance floor. Dancing beneath it was such a dream! I'm so grateful that Colie was so wonderful in helping me understand the options, logistics, and costs so that we could make that installation a reality.

Colie is undoubtedly a tremendously talented florist, but she's also thoughtful and kind human. I could not recommend her and her business more enthusiastically.

Colie is a gem of a human and a true artist. Working with her on our wedding flowers was a joy. She took on the task of creating florals for our 200 person wedding which included bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flower girl crowns, large arrangements for the ceremony, and decorating 12 large reception tables, as well as several other extraneous arrangements. It was a BIG job, and she executed it flawlessly.

Colie was straightforward and transparent about pricing. I never felt pressured, but rather felt that she really cared about helping us to create visual impact for our large, outdoor wedding in a cost-effective manner.

In our phone conversations Colie took the time to really understand, not only what we were looking for in flowers, but also who we are as people. It was apparent that it’s meaningful to her to have her creations be a part of such a significant moment in her clients’ lives, and I think that spirit comes through in her gorgeous work.

I wholeheartedly recommend Flower Scout, especially if you are looking for a more wild and romantic look for your wedding flowers that draws from local and seasonal abundance.

Colie did an amazing job with our South Asian wedding. This was her first time creating a mandap, and she did an amazing job with it and coordinating with the site. There was no doubt in my mind that my special day would be incredible, and that the mandap would be beautiful. Our wedding coordinator also said it was a huge pleasure to work with Colie as she is very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I recommend Colie to everyone I meet who is getting married, and you should definitely hire her.

I used Flower Scout for my August 2018 wedding and couldn't be happier! Colie made the entire flower process the easiest part of our entire wedding. I feel in love with her designs and knew they were perfect for our Vermont setting. I gave her very little requirements and the end result was something I could have never imagined! Our bouquets went so well with my mis-matched bridesmaids dresses and the boutonnieres were so fun and different! Colie also worked with my mom to use part of her dress on my bouquet, which was really special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
