Absolutely Exceptional. A Truly Talented and Kind Soul!

If I could give more than five stars, I would. Working with Kim for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she is in the floral industry for all the right reasons. She is deeply passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life.

What really sets Kim apart is her incredible responsiveness and communication. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she made the floral process feel seamless and fun. She was so knowledgeable and always willing to talk through different ideas, offering expert guidance on what would look beautiful while staying true to the feel we wanted. She truly listens to what you imagine and then works her magic to make it even better than you envisioned.

Beyond her extraordinary talent and stunning arrangements, she is simply one of the kindest, sweetest souls you will ever encounter. Her warmth made the entire experience so much more enjoyable, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was handling such an important part of our day.

If you are looking for a florist who is not only a visionary artist but also a wonderful person to work with, look no further. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day feel so special and beautiful!

I LOVED my wedding flowers!

My wedding flowers were absolutely stunning! I gasped when I first saw my bouquet because it was even better than I had expected. My guests loved the flowers also and even took some of them home.

From the time that I started working with Kim, she was so great about giving ideas and suggestions of what will and will not work based on the venue layout and the limited set up time that we had. She offers a walk through meeting to go over exactly what you are looking for in the placement of the flowers. Unfortunately she was unable to attend with our planner since she had an injury and was in the hospital but she was still so responsive and made it work with the videos that my planner had sent her.

On the day of the wedding, my bouquet was Even better than the inspiration photos I had sent her. She made all the colors POP and it was so visually appealing. My bridesmaid's bouquet was just as stunning and the flowers for our moms matched their outfits perfectly. The ceremony and reception flowers were exactly what I imagined, and I could not stop starting at them all night.

Kim is so professional in her communication and delivering the results that you want. At no point during the process did I doubt her ability to capture our vision. And she had captured it perfectly. It was so dreamy, whimsical, romantic, and classy, with vibrant colors on a rainy wedding day that made it truly felt like spring. If you are in doubt, I say to go and hire Kim! The flowers were such a highlight of the day!

Mother of bride

Kim is so amazing to work with. She walked through the venue with us to see what our vision was and to visualize how we could turn a blank canvas into a stunning location for the wedding. Our guests took pictures under the gorgeous fireplace mantle as well as the beautifully decorated pergola. The bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets and boutonnières were stunning . Highly recommended Kim.

Top notch flowers and human!

Where to event start! Kim was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. She understood our budget and made everything we wanted come to life so seamlessly. Our planner loved working with her and so did I!!! She's truly one of a kind. Her arrangements were absolutely stunning and she stayed for a good amount of our wedding to ensure that things still looked perfect. Pictures do her flowers no justice. She even went above and beyond and made us a small bouquet for our honeymoon. Her flowers not only stayed in perfect condition all day; but even for our brunch the next morning. Truly could not recommend her enough!!

Kim is the best

I cannot express how amazing Kim is. We met early in the wedding planning process and I gave her some rough guidance of what we were looking for: bold, modern, colorful florals against a matte black and white background. The florals were the anchor of the whole look so it was important to us that we could find someone who understood it and felt fully comfortable executing something amazing. Kim absolutely nailed it. About a month before the wedding, she invited me to the wholesaler to make sure we were aligned on the types and colors of flowers and vases, which was incredibly fun. Then she took those ideas and worked some magic. Our guests raved about the florals, literally saying they were in awe of them. I highly recommend working with the Garden Studio!

Dream come true!

I'd recommend Kim and her team to anyone who asked!! She made our massive floral dreams a reality and we were overjoyed! She provides amazing quality in her florals and costumer service. We met many times leading up to the wedding always to make sure we were all on the same page. Kim is amazing at helping you make your vison come to life while sticking to a budget by using florals throughout the weekend in a very thoughtful way. We wanted a whimsical and garden feel to our florals and it was a beautiful dream! THANK YOU KIM!!

The BEST Florist

THE BEST. Kim is not only a wonderful florist she is a wonderful human. She went above and beyond to make sure that our florals were stunning. We received so many compliments on the quality of the flowers and the design of the arrangements. We took a few floral arrangements home after the event and still looked perfect days later! She maintained consistent contact with us throughout our long (~1.5 year) planning process to ensure everything was going smoothly. I would choose Kim over and over again if I could!

Florals were an absolute dream!

Kim exceeded our expectations. She not only took the time to advise and recommend which florals matched my vision and fit within my budget, but she also did a wonderful job at bringing the complete vision to life. When she came into my bridal cottage with my bouquet, my jaw literally dropped -- it was so beautiful and specific for me. I asked for a very minimalistic table arrangement - which she knocked out of the park! It was almost as if each floral was picked with a specific purpose, and i love that level of detail. Dont even get me started on our floral arch, bar and cake details,and the fall foliage arrangement she created for our live band, it was truly everything I wished for an more. My dream florals came to life. Thanks Kim!

Kim and her florals were amazing!

Kim was great to work with - friendly, responsive, and transparent. The florals, especially on the circle arch that I envisioned, were perfect! Kim absorbed the simplicity and elegance I wanted.

Beautiful flowers, Wonderful Vendor

Kim and her flowers are the best. Kim is the best because she is just so lovely to work with. First, she is dedicated to executing your vision. Second, she is incredibly friendly. For many vendors, it feels like you are just another business opportunity. Not so with Kim - it felt like she was genuinely excited for us and she took time to iron out all the details. Other vendors tried to rush through the process, but we never felt like Kim was rushing us. In fact, she came to our walk through with the venue, and she made sure that the process was slowed down for both herself and us, to ensure all the details were understood. She was also upfront with her budget and gave us ideas of how to stick to our budget and repurpose flowers. Finally, she is very knowledgeable about her craft and it’s apparent that she absolutely loves what she does. Her excitement made us even more excited!! Now, on to the flowers — they were stunning!! As soon as I saw them, all the stress of the day melted away — it truly made me feel so happy! We had a whimsical wildflower theme and it turned out beautifully. I wish I could have spent more time just admiring all the arrangements. We will be recommending Kim to everyone that we can.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
