Winter magic

Tara made our wedding dreams come true. Everything was perfectly elegant, wintery, and somehow subtle but spectacular all at the same time. With seemingly little instruction everything came out exactly how we wanted it. The décor for the ceremony was perfect, seemingly without us even asking! Tara spent ages creating this magical little forest for our ceremony, instead of your typical arbor, and we loved every detail. Our guests are still asking how we managed to create this surreal wintery theme – the answer was we hired the right pro! Honestly she took what seemed like little input and produced beautiful art that was precisely what we wanted and then some!

Absolutely Beautiful Decor

STUNNING WORK. Seriously. I didn't want to see her decorations taken down! Tara took our wedding colors and created a vision that puts a Pinterest board to shame. Absolutely recommend if you want your event to be gloriously beautiful.

Beautiful design

Wow! Working with Tara was one of the best decisions we made, and she absolutely nailed the theme for our wintry/woodsy December wedding! Our guests couldn’t get over how beautiful our wedding was, and Tara made it truly magical. After a few conversations and emails to get our communication on the same page at first, woah--we were amazed by how well she executed every single detail of our vision (and we had a lot of specific details). There wasn’t so much as a single leaf, petal, pine cone, piece of velvet, or candle out of place--it was all PERFECT. Tara is not afraid to get her hands dirty, and spent several days on site at our church and reception venue prepping for the big day. She got creative with our layout to showcase the best attributes of our venue space, and disguise the less desirable ones (like the elevator shaft). She is a perfectionist, and that is what you want when it comes to bringing your wedding day design vision to life. She is thoughtful, thorough, and very responsive. Incredible design takes time, budget, and lots of collaboration with the creative professional you entrust, but we’d do it all over again with Tara in a heartbeat.
Also, we brought 3 evergreen trees into the church for our ceremony and another 3 into our reception space. After the wedding, Tara donated some of those trees to families in need. What a sweetheart--the true meaning of Christmas!

Inspiring Ideas and Flawless Execution

Tara was fantastic to work with for our fall wedding in VT, and I would absolutely recommend her for event and floral design. She really took the time to understand our style and the type of event we wanted for our guests, and her creative ideas were always inspiring. We had a lot of fun bouncing ideas back and forth to create an event that really had a WOW factor, without feeling over the top. Her execution is flawless - every guest was amazed at how beautiful the decor, the lighting and flowers were. Tara is detail oriented, high energy, and loves a challenge. It was so comforting to know going into our wedding day that Tara would make sure everything looked perfect, and that we could focus on enjoying the day with family and friends. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I look forward to seeing all the beautiful events she plans in the future!

Stunning floral arrangements

It was a pleasure to work with Tara for our October wedding at the Southern Vermont Arts Center. Tara was very responsive to all of our requests and designed some truly beautiful arrangements. The flowers she selected for the wedding party, the tables and as accents throughout our church and reception were simply gorgeous. She also helped to select other decor such as linens and candles, which pulled the whole look together. Everything was exactly what I was hoping for and more. I essentially shared a few pictures with Tara about a color scheme and some general ideas and she just took it from there. I knew I never had to worry about the end result. And I was right as everything came out just simply beautiful. Tara is also just a very kind and fun person, who knew many of my other vendors which made everything come together seamlessly. I give Tara my highest recommendation.

Tara is a gem. She has impeccable taste and is truly a GREAT person. She worked so hard on every last detail and knew I was probably the most anal retentive bride she has ever met and still loved me afterward! I had a very strong vision and Tara only enhanced it, she went way beyond flowers and lighting but made great recommendations on flow and ambience. Our wedding would never have been as special without her, her husband and her engineer son who helped bring our vision to life. She stuck with us when our venue surprised us with construction right before our wedding and helped make it all look impeccable. We are happy to call her a friend! Thank you Tara again for all that you did for us, you are a star <3 <3 <3

Tara was EXCEPTIONAL! She made all of my wedding dreams come true. We created a Pinterest board together and she immediately understood the style I wanted for the wedding. Seeing a proposal is a lot different from knowing what the finished product will look like and when my wedding day arrived, I was completely blown away by Tara's work - it was AMAZING! The lighting, table arrangements, greenery in the tent, and candles created the most romantic perfect wedding setting - I couldn't imagine anything more perfect. It was my dream wedding. She was so professional and truly is so talented at what she does. She transformed a simple wedding tent into the most romantic setting for a wedding I've ever seen.

Tara was easy to work with. Somehow she managed to create exactly what I was hoping for based on some Pinterest photos and my explanations. Everything was really beautiful.

When I called Tara for the first time, I mentioned that I wanted local, in-season dahlias and she was happy to make this happen. Other local florists were unwilling to do it.

Tara was able to accommodate not only our request for dahlias, but was able to create us crowns of myrtle for our ceremony, which we had under another of her amazing creations. The dahlias were stunning and created a very special and beautiful spot for our ceremony.

Tara Pollio is absolutely brilliant and a true artist! We hired Tara as our wedding florist and event designer and it was the best decision I made (after saying I do ;)). Her taste level is out of this world and she did a FANTASTIC job staying within our budget. When I first contacted Tara to inquire about her services she said she needed to focus on her current brides and couldn't chat for another few weeks. Even though I was eager to get the ball rolling with her, I was correct in perceiving this as a strong indication of how devoted to her clients she is. Throughout the entire planning process she was so responsive, incredibly creative and an excellent sounding board for all things wedding related. She completely understood our vision and brought it to the next level. Above everything, Tara was so wonderful to work with because of her amazingly warm personality. By the day of the wedding, I felt like we needed to have a seat for Tara because she become a close friend. She is the best. Hire this genius!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
