Beautiful Flowers
Candy has been the go-to florist for my family for a long time. My grandmother used to handle the flowers for the gift shop at Good Shepherd Hospital when she worked there, and still uses her for her own personal flower needs. My mom also had Candy do her flowers for her wedding back in 2006. So it was a no-brainer when it came time for me to get my flowers. Candy was super helpful and created beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres for us. I wanted all cala lilies and she did not disappoint. My mother-in-law also cannot handle very strong floral smells, so Candy made sure to get flowers that would not trigger anything for her. She even was able to do a silk corsage for us! Thank you for helping make our day perfect!

An Excellent Experience
Candy was such a pleasure to work with! She was able to distill my references down into a profile that was perfect for our wedding. I had a particular palate and list of flowers I wanted to include and she was helpful in making suggestions that made the arrangements even more amazing. The florals were beautiful and she even let us borrow her vases! Would certainly recommend.

Candy was incredible to work with! She understood my vision for our wedding flowers and improved upon it! She has such an artistic eye and really went above and beyond incorporating family heirlooms into the centerpieces and recommending newer pieces that would compliment the old.

Candy was wonderful to work with! I didn't have many preferences with flowers and all I wanted was neutral earthy tones to be part of the flowers! I trusted her enough with the flower arrangements and it turned out to be perfect and everything I imagined! I had a budget and she definitely kept that in mind as well! She was easy to work with too and very quick to respond to my numerous emails! I definitely recommend her!

Candy was amazing to work with! She also was incredibly accommodating the day of my wedding and delivered the flowers on time with no issues. She was incredibly respectful of my budget and the flowers turned out exactly how I wanted them to. She asked me to send her pictures of what I wanted as well as what types of flowers to use for both the bouquets and centerpieces. She did bouquets for me and my bridesmaids, boutonnieres, corsages, high, medium and low centerpieces, cake decorations and greenery around our seating chart. I can't say enough good things about her and I believe the pictures below speak for themselves!

Candy was wonderful to work with and the flowers were beautiful! She timed it right with having the fullest blooms on the day of our wedding. I had sent her inspiration photos, what I liked/didn't like and she was spot on! We were married at the Onion Pub in the summer and she is very familiar with the venue. My husband's parents are horticulturists (so they know their flowers!) and they are still raving about the quality and arrangements. Candy was very flexible, too - our first look location depended on the weather (and so did the floral personal delivery). She was fine with us making that call 10AM the day of. We couldn't have been more satisfied!

I have used Candy for quite a few events over the years and she has never disappointed me. This spring my step-daughters wedding was no exception. The flowers were beautiful and the guest compliments flowed! As a past event planner, I can speak volumes for her flora
value and creativity, I would not hesitate to call Candy for any floral needs.

Candy was highly recommended by my brother who worked with her for his wedding, and she definitely lived up to the hype. She listened to my ideas and also shared useful feedback and ideas of her own that resulted in an absolutely stunning design for our wedding flowers. And all the while working within our budget. What I really appreciated about Candy is her creativity and ability to add an element of unexpected surprise and wow to everything she did whether it was the sparkly band on my mother-in-law's corsage, the pop of color in our dinner centerpieces or the extraordinary selection of unique flowers and succulents in my bouquet. Candy is top-notch and I would highly recommend working with her for your floral needs. She's a true talent, and such a sweet person.
