Amazing, professional, personal, the most beautiful flowers!
During my wedding planning process I had a wedding planner quit and Carmen was there to reassure me that everything would be great, she helped coordinate with my new planner, and made sure the ball kept rolling with the design of my wedding. She is extremely professional and timely when getting back to you. She also is great at collaborating with your other vendors to be sure important details are commuincated. She listens to your vision for your wedding and is able to create your vision even better than what you could have imagined. My guests still talk about all the beautiful floral elements and flowers I had at my wedding. I could not be happier with Carmen and I would HIGHLY suggest you hire her. You will not be disappointed.

Can't Recommend Enough!
Carmen was thoughtful, warm, and did a great job guiding me in the floral process. I was upfront with my mindset of minimal florals- just personals for myself and our bridal party- and Carmen was fully invested in the vision, bringing it to life beautifully. Her communication cadence was reassuring and fit perfectly into our overall planning timeline. She then delivered all the florals day of smoothly. The florals themselves turned out gorgeous, I was looking for a winter inspired, greenery heavy, slightly unique feel and Carmen nailed it! Couldn't have been happier. Carmen listened to all my ideas and then brought it to life.

Carmen and her team were incredible! They brought my vision to life and went above and beyond to execute it! I was blown away by my bouquet and how perfectly it matched the color palette I was inspired by! Carmen helped take my idea to life better than I ever could have imagined! Her rental inventory is also vast and she makes it so easy with offering set up and take down so you have less stress on you and your family that day! I highly recommend using The Cutting Garden for your wedding!

Perfect Wedding Flowers
Carmen did a wonderful job bringing my inspiration pictures to life for my wedding. She was great to work with and you could tell she really cared about making everything perfect for us. She was affordable and flexible to make things work for our situation which was a bit untraditional.

Perfect Wedding Flowers
I absolutely loved how our wedding flowers turned out. The toss bouquet, bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, arch flowers, cake flowers, corsages for the moms and boutonnières for the men turned out beautifully!

Wedding day florals
Carmen was wonderful to work with for our wedding day florals! Her attention to detail is incredible, and she herself is a joy as well. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of knowledge in the floral department, she was able to guide me and provide suggestions to get to a design that I absolutely loved!! Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone.

The Cutting Garden is the best of the best!
I am so very grateful that we chose The Cutting Garden for our wedding day! Carmen the owner is the sweetest, very responsive, creative, and brought my entire vision to life! She completely nailed my vision of our floral installation of hanging loose stem flowers above our head table. She was so much fun to work with and I cannot recommend a better florist! If you choose The Cutting Garden you will see all your wedding day floral dreams come to life!

Gorgeous Flowers!
Carmen was our florist for our July 2025 wedding, and we were so happy with the incredible work she and her team at the Cutting Garden did to bring our vision to life. From the first call we had with her, she listened closely to our high-level vision and added an expert touch to elevate every detail. Carmen’s creativity and deep understanding of floral design helped tie everything together in the most beautiful way. Every arrangement—from the bouquets to the ceremony arch to the reception centerpieces—were thoughtfully curated and flawlessly executed. The interplay of colors, textures, movement, and blooms were exactly what we had imagined, and somehow even better. If you’re looking for a florist who combines artistry with heart and precision, look no further!
