From the start of wedding planning to the finish, Kristen was absolutely incredible! I was a typical bride, overwhelmed with the endless possibilities of options for my big day. Kristen talked me through each detail to make sure that each and every aspect was beyond perfect for my big day. Kristen even went as far as being in touch with the venue to make sure that everything I had envisioned would be achievable and if not offered different options right away. The flowers exceeded any expectations I had. They were beyond beautiful and lasted well beyond just the day! Kristen was a dream to work with and extremely affordable and accommodating. I have already recommended her services to many other brides and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you for all of your hard work Kristen!

Such Beautiful Florals that My Wedding is Still Being Talked About
Kristen was amazing! She worked closely with us about the vibe we wanted, talked about colors and floral ideas. We needed help to iron out our vision, and she was absolutely fabulous in looking at inspo pix and listening to our notes and then coming up with something magical that is still being talked about by those that came to our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!

Beautiful Floral Designs!
From the start Kristen was so helpful in planning every element of our floral design. I sent her a Pintrest page with some ideas but explained that since I didn't know much about flowers that I totally trusted her design choices. She sent us a lot of options of flowers to choose favorites from, and then made many helpful suggestions along the way. Even with all of this, I still was near tears on my wedding day just seeing the incredible flower arrangements Kristen and her husband had created - from the large piece on our arch to the centerpieces to my bouquet. I truly didn't know how beautiful and elegant they would be. The quality is exceptional and Kristen is lovely - highly recommend!

Amazing Wedding Flower
I was blown away by Kristen! She did an absolutely beautiful job with our bouquets, boutonnieres, arbor, and centerpieces. She was extremely fun to work with, and her taste is gorgeous. She even decorated an additional archway inside of our venue for behind the sweetheart table. Every time I show my wedding photos, someone praises the florals!

Amazing flowers!!
All we had to do was show her some photos of what we liked and she filled in all the details and delivered amazing flowers. One of the easiest vendors to work as she was very professional when it came to finalizing the details. My wife and the bridal party loved the bouquets and boutineers. The arbor she decorated for the ceremony was stunning and the center pieces were awesome especially for the bridal party tables.

She gave me exactly want I wanted and more
Kristen did such an amazing job on our wedding flowers. It’s hard to have this piece of the wedding that you have very little control over beyond expressing your vision, but Kristen nailed them and delivered exactly the image I had in my mind, even though I wasn’t entirely sure what it was myself. She was so great to work with! She listened to what we wanted and referenced pictures, she made suggestions when asked, but let me make the decisions, and she even sent me pictures of flowers in her garden to help me decide. She also was conscious of budget and happy to offer cheaper alternatives. One thing that I wasn’t sure about was exactly what I wanted for my chuppah, but she totally got it. It was perfect and better than imagined. We got so many compliments on the chuppah and flowers in general! I am so thankful! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Spectacular Florist!
Kristen went above and beyond! She really took my vision of flowers and brought it to life! I couldn't have asked for more perfect arrangements! Her support throughout this whole process was so amazing and made my life so much less stressful. She walked me through so many different types of flowers to ensure I got the arrangements that I wanted! We were just so pleased with how everything went and are so thankful for Kristen's help in making this day the day of our dreams!

Beautiful Flowers At A Great Price
Kristen delivered the flowers for our wedding and everything looked gorgeous! The arrangements added to our arbor and centerpieces pulled the entire look of our decor together. The boutonnieres and bouquets were simple, but elegant and exactly what we wanted. They perfectly complimented the attire. All the flowers were fresh and bright. Kristen was great throughout the whole process. We were able to meet with her at her home from the beginning and plan out how we wanted everything to look. She was also great at making sure we stayed within our original budget. I highly recommend her for any north shore weddings.

Stress free, creative, and beautiful florals!
Working with Kristen was an absolutely fantastic experience. Communicating with her was a breeze and a joy. Her creative suggestions and expertise brought my vision to life and made the florals for our wedding beyond what I could have imagined. After my first conversation with her I trusted her fully to do our wedding. She allowed us to utilize vases we found that matched our color scheme and came up with great ideas to incorporate other floral arrangements to match. I had a rather specific image in mind for my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets and she executed this perfectly. She was respectful of our budget and helped us find ways to stay within that budget while still achieving the look we wanted.
Our wedding was during a record heat wave, but at no point did Kristen express concerns about this. I never once worried about my flowers in the heat because Kristen was prepared and took every necessary precaution to make sure they all looked amazing all night.
I have had multiple people ask me where I got my flowers and comment on how beautifully they were arranged.
Working with Kristen was totally stress free and added such a unique and personal touch to our wedding. We are so thankful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

Affordable, Knowledgeable, and Accommodating!
I found Kristen through several online searches of florists in my area. She had wonderful reviews, and many saying she is able to work with your budget. From the get go she was super responsive. After my initial email, she worked quickly to get an idea of what I was looking for and sent me an estimate / proposal for my wedding. I wasn't 100% sure what I was looking for, but knew I wanted sunflowers and sent her over some inspiration pictures. I booked her right away based on how affordable her services were! A month or so before the wedding she called me to go over everything she had in the proposal. She was very accommodating and removed some things we no longer needed, and added flowers we decided we wanted during our planning process. I am clueless when it comes to flowers, and Kristen helped me decide what would look nice together, and flowers that were similar to my inspiration photos. A few weeks later, we had to drop off the vases we purchased for the centerpieces to her house. My husband got lost on the way, so I called Kristen to see if she could help us with directions. She was so kind and took my husband's phone number down to help him find her, and then even texted me when he got there to let me know he made it!
The day of the wedding everything was at the venue and set up before either my husband and I arrived on site. Everything was absolutely beautiful, from the bouquets and the centerpieces, down to the cake! I can't thank you enough for making my flower vision come to life!

Floral dreams come true
Kristen made all of our floral dreams come true at our wedding! She listened to what we wanted and made it come to life perfectly. Her flowers were beautiful and they received many compliments from guests. Her gold moon gate ceremony backdrop was particularly stunning. Kristen also listened to an idea I had about surprising my mother with an arrangement to attach to her wheelchair and my mother loved it! I highly recommend Kristen--she is extremely prompt, professional, and talented!

Truly work of art!!!
When I was looking for florists, I was looking for vendors who made beautiful designs, but were also within my budget. Kristen really surpassed my expectations. From the start, she was extremely responsive, going back and forth with me on the different arrangements I needed, and even sending me a pinterest page of flowers that I would like. I met with her in person and she was extremely flexible, always listening, offering her suggestions, and making sure she took down all the details. She was also willing to work within my budget, which I truly appreciated. Come wedding day, she went above and beyond, my guests kept complimenting me on the beautiful flowers!!! They really were a work of art and was delighted seeing how they made my wedding so special. Overall, if you want a florist who knows what she is doing, is friendly, flexible, and responsive... look no more!

Kristen was amazing to work with! I gave her a general idea of what I was looking for and she hit it out of the park! Kristen went above and beyond what I was expecting with everything from the bouquets to the table decorations. Not only was everything gorgeous, her prices where much more reasonable than other vendors I had spoken to. I would highly recommend working with her!

Beautiful wedding flowers
We hired Kristen to do the flowers for our wedding at the Ipswich Country Club in May 2019. Kristen was wonderful to work with and was always willing to go the extra mile. We had originally asked Kristen to do flowers for the wedding party only and were planning to make our own centerpieces. About a month and half out we decided to ask Kristen to do the centerpieces as well and she jumped right in and even offered to paint the vases we had bought herself. When Kristen arrived with the flowers on the day of, I was truly blown away by how beautiful they were. From the centerpieces to the bridesmaids bouquets to my bouquet, everything was just above and beyond what I had ever expected. Kristen even brought some extra flowers to arrange in the entry and on our sweetheart table. I can’t recommend Kristen highly enough.

Kristen provided gorgeous, fresh flower arrangements for the church, the wedding party, and welcome table. She brought my daughter's vision to life perfectly, was on time, was both personable and professional, and she always responded to our questions promptly.

Made our floral dreams come true!
One of the elements of planning our wedding that I was most excited for was flowers. I absolutely love fresh flowers, and wanted have a fun, personal and unique bouquets and centerpieces at our wedding. Kristen did the flowers for my sister's wedding which we loved, so my fiancee and I reached out to see if Kristen could work with us, in our budget. From the very first interaction and until the day she dropped off our flowers, Kristen was incredible to work with. She listened to what we were looking for, made recommendations based on our bridesmaids colors and venue, and made sure to incorporate my favorite flowers and antique pitchers we had collected to be part of our theme. Each of the bouquets and boutineers Kristen created was unique, but they all tied together beautifully. I couldn't have been more thrilled with our flowers or working with Kristen - everything totally exceeded our expectations!!

Willowdale Wedding
Kristen was the best choice for our wedding. We got married at Willowdale Estate and she did a beautiful job. Right when we met her at her beautiful home, we knew she was the one! She not only did she come up with gorgeous ideas based on my colors, but she worked within our budget and gave fantastic suggestions.

Simply Amazing...Kristen and her work!
Kristen Blais is amazing. Period. She is super flexible, friendly, thoughtful and most importantly, does beautiful work! We called Kristen "late in the game" and she was easily able to accommodate us. Her prices are more than reasonable, and her work is just beautiful. Our guests all were wowed by the flowers and table centerpieces....we were as well! If you want beautifully arranged florals, a thoughtful designer and someone who will work with your ideas, Kristen is absolutely the person to work with. If you are holding your wedding at Willowdale, even better! She knows the venue and will stand and deliver! Loved her!

Kristen did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers. She put together beautiful displays, center pieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres. She was very professional, punctual, and easy to work with. She allowed me to personalize the bouquets and they looked exactly the way I had hoped. The pricing was very reasonable and she was generous in adding on extras to make sure everything looked perfect.

Kristen was amazing! The flowers themselves were absolutely perfect, and Kristen was so friendly and professional. I booked really late, but she got right to work and came up with a masterpiece. She was really aware of the styles and colors I wanted - we went through my Pinterest page together, which I loved - and also put her own spin on it, too. She created beautiful and elegant arrangements for my ceremony, the wedding party, and the reception, plus some extras for my cake. She was mindful of my budget and very open about cost for each option we discussed. I wanted a florist who would listen to what I wanted and then just take care of everything, without needing to check in with me on lots of details, and Kristen filled that role perfectly. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

One of the best decisions I made was choosing to work with Kristen. She is responsive, creative, and loves what she does. She went well beyond helping us with our incredible flowers; she suggested table cloth ideas (which I immediately went with and loved), had inside tips about our venue, and even had the amazing idea to use extra lace for my dress in the centerpieces. She added SO much to our day and I truly can't thank her enough.

Kristen is incredible! Her work is absolutely stunning and she is a delight to work with. She is warm, friendly, and genuinely cares about giving you exactly what you want. I was amazed at how she made the vision in my head come to life and then even further exceed expectations, all while staying within my budget. Everyone who attended the wedding, my bridesmaids, the other vendors, and anyone who has seen photos from my wedding have raved at how gorgeous the flowers were. Kristen was helpful in guiding me through the process, providing ideas and resources, and I felt comfortable leaving some decisions to her, given her expertise. I cannot say enough positive things about Kristen and her business. Professional, personable, easy to communicate with, and affordable. The flowers were one of my favorite things about my wedding and compared to many floral shops, I feel you're getting more for your money, both in quantity and quality. I highly recommend Kristen and will tell every future bride I know about her.

First, Kristen's passion for her profession is apparent from the moment you meet her. She loves what she does, and it shows in the beautiful designs she creates. We wanted a custom garland for our event, and she brought it to life in the most elegant way. She created such beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, wristlets, corsages, and centerpieces - we received so many compliments on everything she did.
Also, her attention to detail is off the charts. I mentioned to Kristen that I had leftover lace that I'd had removed from my dress, and she used that lace on my bouquets, our centerpiece vases, and even the flower girl basket. She also gave samples of the lace to our wedding coordinator, who was then able to match it with other details on our day. Walking into our reception room and seeing all of these perfectly corresponding pieces took my breath away, and that's all thanks to Kristen's great ideas and follow through.
If you are lucky enough to work with Kristen, you will have moments on your big day where you are just in awe of how much she thought of and added to your wedding.

The flowers that Kristen put together for my wedding day left me in awe. They were absolutely beautiful and were everything that I could have hoped for and more. This lady is so incredibly talented (and also super sweet). My husband and I took the leftover flowers from the reception with us on our honeymoon because these beautiful arrangements needed to be treasured for as long as possible. I also dried out my bouquet so I can keep it forever. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything, Kristen!!

I can't say enough good things about Kristen. Not only was she kind and easy to work with, but her flower arrangements far surpassed my greatest hopes and truly made an impact on all of our guests. I would highly highly recommend her.

The flowers were absolutely beautiful. Kristen was by far one of my favorite vendors. I remember the day of my wedding repeating over and over again how beautiful the flowers were. Kristen listened to exactly what I had in mind in terms of color and style and then delivered on this and then some. Prices were reasonable and she was flexible to allow me to make some last minute changes. I can't say any negative things about this vendor. You will not be disappointed!

Kristen was amazing!! Honestly I selected her because she was within my pretty tight budget, and she totally exceeded my expectations. We worked together mostly via email before the big day, and she did a great job helping me narrow down my somewhat scattered vision. She's very experienced and can work with many different vibes. I was a little anxious because most of the photos of her work on here are of tighter/more formal looking arrangements and bouquets and I was going for a messier, more organic vibe. She was very confident/assuring throughout the design process and totally knocked it out of the park! She also made things work that I didn't think were possible -for instance our welcome sign easel and frame were extremely flimsy so a few days before the wedding I wrote to say to leave off the flowers on it, yet somehow she totally made it work! She doesn't do a ton of weddings each weekend, so I trusted her team to get things where they needed to be on time and with great attention to detail and they totally pulled it off! Highly recommend!!!

After searching the internet, contacting several other vendors, and receiving a few proposals for the flower arrangements for my daughter’s wedding, I read a number of very positive reviews of Garden Designs by Kristen written by brides whom had recently used her for their wedding flowers. Soon after, I met with her. Kristen was a pleasure to talk with and she listened carefully to my flower preferences and style ideas while she made thoughtful suggestions. Kristen seemed very organized and she was willing to work within our budget. In addition, she answered emails promptly, provided photos of her floral designs, and sent me a detailed proposal within a few days. Also, several months before the wedding, Kristen met with my daughter and I again to go over everything and she left us feeling comfortable and confident in her work. In the end, we were thrilled with the absolutely gorgeous flowers Kristen designed for Sarah’s midsummer wedding! Everything from the stunning bridal bouquet and ten lovely, complimentary bouquets for the bridesmaids to the buttonaires, mother’s flowers, ceremony decorations, and reception centerpieces were all beautiful and reflected the colors and style that we had hoped for. And, we got many compliments from our guests on the flowers! We would highly recommend you consider Garden Designs by Kristen for your wedding floral arrangements!

Kristen was a dream to work with for our wedding. She understood our wishes and our budget, and created BEAUTIFUL centerpieces and bouquets that reflected everything we wanted. Many of the florists we originally contacted were inflexible and made us feel like it would be impossible to work with our budget, but Kristen just got it. And her creativity was so impressive. We were incredibly satisfied. DEFINITELY work with her if you can!

I can't believe how patient Kristen was with me. I must have changed my floral design at least four times, but each time she was right there with me, assisting with helpful ideas and sharing her enthusiasm with me, The final product was perfect beyond my wildest dreams! The flowers really set the tone for the day and gave a graceful ambience to the venue that made everything just right. Kristen was so easy to work with, her prices were really fair, and her designs were amazing. I would highly recommend working with her.

Working with Kristen was one of the best parts of my wedding. She took into consideration all of my ideas and thoughts on my look and went above and beyond to create the floral arrangements and bouquets of my dreams. She kept me at ease during the entire process and sent me sneak peaks as she was arranging that were absolutely a dream come true! I cannot recommend Kristen enough!

Kristen did a beautiful job with the three bouquets I ordered and bud/medium vases for my centerpieces. I really appreciated how responsive and encouraging she was with my ideas and really took the vision I had and brought it to life. She is so sweet and easy to work with - she also had two pillars we rented from her for the ceremony and she covered them in eucalyptus, which made a really beautiful wintery/earthy look. I love flowers and this was an important part of the day for me and Kristen really brought everything together just the way I wanted.

I chose Garden Designs by Kristen for my October 2016 wedding and am so happy I did!
Kristen was the only designer that I met with. I felt very comfortable when we met and felt that she listened to what I liked and didn't like. It was clear to me that she is very knowledgeable about flowers, greens and plants. I told her what my budget was. I know some people like to keep their budget close to the vest but I wanted her to be able to accurately provide me with what could be done for the amount. I really like the ideas that she had and what we came up with together. We were in touch a few times after our meeting to finalize details.
The day of the wedding she was on time with the drop offs. My bouquet was just what I wanted--stunning. The boutonnieres and corsages were good sizes and lasted the entire event. It can be difficult to describe the feeling that you want your wedding to convey and how the flowers will add to that feeling---I wanted classy and festive but not typical (if that makes sense). Kristen NAILED it. The reception dining room was magazine worthy. I peaked in the room before anyone went in and it was breathtaking. There were swags on the fireplaces with plenty of greenery and harvest fruits and vegetables. The tables had beautiful centerpieces---so beautiful that my aunts took them without even asking me if I had anything planned for them! Two guests at the wedding specifically told me while we were at the reception they thought the flowers and decorations were beautiful-- it stuck out in my mind b/c what guests really focus on the flowers at a wedding-- it's usually just the bride!
Without hesitation, I recommend Garden Designs by Kristen for a wedding or another event. She was professional, her design skills were top notch and the flowers/plants used were high quality and fresh.

Kristen came highly recommended by our wedding venue and we were so happy with her communication and the final result! I provided Kristen with a couple of inspiration photos and she did an awesome job of creating a unique mix of the inspirations. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and added such an elegant touch to our cocktail hour and reception. Price was very affordable and we also highly recommend her!!

As I was not doing formal flower arrangements for my wedding, I needed someone willing to put together just bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. Kristen responded with in an hour of my initial email, and was able to accommodate my needs with a very quick turnaround. The price was extremely fair, and most importantly, the quality was amazing. She worked with my favorite flowers and made sure I was happy with the color scheme. The bouquets were incredibly fresh, and adorned with fresh herbs (which I requested), so the smell was beautiful. It's been two days, and my bouquet still looks terrific.

Kristen is absolutely amazing. Her and I planned my flowers purely through email....which I know can be stressful without talking to or seeing someone in the wedding planning process. She was always quick to respond by email. The flowers were absolutely amazing, my bouquet was beautiful with tons of flowers (but wasn't "over the top"), it was just perfect. The flowers she picked were gorgeous. I did not have her do centerpieces, as I thought I would save money by making my own.....I was so wrong.. Making your own centerpieces is incredibly stressful, and the price can add up fast. if you can have Kristen do them I would go back and do that! Her prices were super affordable. She is also great with confirming with you a couple weeks before the wedding and then the week of.

Kristen listened to all my thoughts and truly brought my vision to life with her extreme talent and design! We received so many compliments on the arrangements and were blown away by the beauty of each little detail. The flowers were stunning and you could tell had been cared for well in advance of the ceremony. Each and every petal and sprig were just gorgeous! I cannot say enough good things about Garden Designs by Kristen. Truly a wonderful vendor to work with. Thank you Kristen!

Kristen was fantastic! My wife and I met with her 6 months before the wedding to talk through our ideas. I wasn't really sure what I wanted, but I brought a few Pinterest bouquet photos and a picture of our cake to the consultation, and Kristen was able to create a quote for us that same day based on the photos. On the day of the wedding, everything looked great! We ordered five bouquets and a cake topper, and every piece was beautiful. The bouquets even arrived in mason jars, so our bridal party could take theirs home after the wedding.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kristen as a wedding florist. I searched the area and interviewed about 6 -10 florists before finding her, and I recommend other brides to look no further!! Kristen was a delight to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure my flowers were perfect throughout the planning and execution. She was extremely responsive and willing to listen to all my ideas and make recommendations based on her experience, and to work within my budget. The flowers were exquisite and exceeded all my expectations. Thank you Kristen for your kindness and patience and for delivering such incredible arrangements from bouquets to centerpieces that made our wedding so beautiful!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said in the other reviews? Bottom line- I would highly recommend Kristen for your wedding! Kristen was so great to work with throughout the planning process, she was always extremely responsive and completely transparent when it came to pricing/budget. I provided her with a few pictures of what I liked for flowers, gave her my budget and let her have the creative freedom for all my floral arrangements- it was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding! She somehow knew exactly what I wanted! The venue for my ceremony was a blank canvas, Kristen’s ideas/execution of the ceremony décor exceeded my expectations and helped to create the intimate environment I was seeking! Ultimately, I loved every single bouquet, boutonniere, corsage, centerpiece and decorative arrangement!

She is such a friendly and creative vendor--she has tons of experience with flowers and pairing them. I can't rave enough about her! She was timely and very organized throughout my work with her even through the wedding day itself. Look no further for your wedding flower needs!

She did a wonderful job hearing my thoughts and ideas and bringing them to life! She didn't pressure me into anything or spending more then I was comfortable with - she worked within my budget and her bouquets and arrangements well exceeded my expectations! She was prompt to respond to all my questions and helped ease my stress planning the wedding from out of state! THANK YOU KRISTEN!!!

I would work with Kristen all over again! She was so helpful, creative, pro-active and down to earth. I was literally STUNNED when I saw her work on the garlands and bouquets. I couldn't stop looking at them while we were getting ready and during the reception (Kristen had some great ideas on how to decorate with our bouquets after the ceremony). I'm still getting compliments on the flowers! Kristen is your gal, especially if you're looking for someone to help you get creative about the space you're using. I can't say enough nice things about her and her work.

Kristen was fantastic! I chatted with about 10 vendors for flower arrangements and she was so easy to talk to, work through my needs and budget and she had a beautiful vision for our wedding day. I live in Virginia so it wasn't easy planning our wedding in Boston but she made it seamless. I did meet with Kristen one afternoon to go over all of the final details and she put me completely at ease and it really felt like we were on the same page with the designs and pricing. Well the wedding came and went and I can say she exceeded our expectations. The bouquets, table arrangements, boutonnieres, corsages and decorative flowers were absolutely stunning. We received many compliments from our guests about the flowers and how beautiful they were. I would HIGHLY recommend Garden Designs by Kristen!

Kristen was absolutely wonderful to work with and did a beautiful job with our wedding flowers. She was extremely flexible when we changed our minds on things (which happened more than a few times) and was very open to new ideas. She took our Pinterest boards for inspiration, but instead of copying it exactly, built upon the ideas and made something completely unique and much more beautiful than anything we could find online. I also loved that she took the time to write out proposals for us so that we could see everything we had discussed in writing. Kristen thought of many things that we hadn't thought to consider and was very conscious of working within our budget. Not to mention, she is very friendly and fun to be around! I always looked forward to our meetings with her (and so did the groom, who typically isn't into flowers at all!).
When the big day came, so did hurricane-level winds, and our outdoor ceremony needed to be moved inside. I didn't need to worry about anything, as Kristen was able to translate our vision perfectly to the indoor space. When I finally saw the flowers, they took my breath away. I think I actually spent most of the ceremony looking at the unbelievable arrangements behind us! The centerpieces brightened up the entire hall, and the overcast skies in our outdoor pictures make the bright flowers in the bouquets pop.
I would highly recommend Kristen for any wedding or event and look forward to seeing more of her work in the future!

Ahh!!!! I cannot get over how beautiful my centerpieces were!! all the floral decor she did for us was beyond beautiful!! I had a fall theme going on and she used red flowers mixed in with greens and hydrangeas.. She exceeded my expectations and did a phenomenal job.. If I had to do it all over again I would not think twice about hiring her.
she also went above and beyond to meet my budget. I highly recommend her.

Kristen was wonderful to work with for our wedding. As a military offer for my now husband and I she offered complimentary use of anything in her own personal garden for us to use for our floral arrangements. Her work is breathtaking. Kristen did a lot for us: bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, ceremony arrangements hanging with trailing vines, cup cake table and bathroom arrangements and she did vine work to cover poles inside the Sperry tent for our reception. She welcomed us to her property a year in advance to see what was in bloom during our wedding month. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, as I did not know much about flowers. She was fun to work with and always prompt with email responses and changes to the contract. I would greatly recommend Kristen, her work is amazing!

Planning a wedding out of state was a very difficult project, I called around to many florists, spoke with them to see if they understood my vision, not many of them did.... After speaking with Kristen my decision was made! She was not only flexible, but she "got it". Its amazing to find a vendor who is truly looking out for your best value. Kristen made amazing suggestions, worked with our budget, and created amazing pieces. She made sure that everything was written out, organized and perfect!
I would suggest her to ANYONE of my friends and family! Such a pleasure to work with!

Kristen's flowers were extraordinary! I felt like my ideas and vision were all over the place yet somehow she executed things better than I could have imagined! I think this made walking in to see the bouquets and boutonnieres even better because my initial reaction was a gleeful, "how did she know!?" It only got better as I walked down the aisle to see altar arrangements that amazed me and had guests coming up to me during the cocktail hour just to talk about the gorgeous reception tent.
Almost as great as her work is her very reasonable prices. Other vendors quoted me event minimums higher than my total bill from Kristen. I cannot recommend her more highly!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kristen! We came in with a tight budget initially, and she had so many creative ideas to help us save money on flowers. We ended up going over budget on our own accord, but still would have paid A LOT more with any other florist for what we got. Kristen was always responsive and professional, and also kept me calm throughout the planning process. She also acted as a friend to calm my nerves when I was anxious about everything looking good together. She acted as our "event design" person as well. She stored all of our event decor (for both ceremony and reception locations), and put everything together. I got many many compliments on how beautiful our flowers, and all other decor was, and I credit all of that to Kristen. If you are looking for a florist, definitely book her!

Kristen was featured at our Bridal Expo and really impressed our guests! We provided just the dimensions of the area and let her design the rest - she went beyond what we hoped for. Her pieces were tasteful, elegant, and creative. Kristen is truly a professional to work with!

Kristen was great to work with. She created some beautiful arrangements that worked right into our Farm to Table theme of our Fundraiser. The arrangements were creative, the value was terrific and she went over and above to ensure that our arrangements were there when they were promised and looking great.

Kristen did a fabulous job on the flowers for our reception, and for our ceremony. I did not have a clear vision of what I wanted at the beginning, and changed my mind many, many times, but Kristen was always so patient and responsive! She was a pleasure to with throughout the entire planning process. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I highly recommend working with Kristen. Before working with Kristen, I was unclear on my vision and very unsure about how to choose the right florals for our wedding - but Kristen helped me discover what I was looking for and the eventual product was better than I could ever have imagined; she had great ideas and always stayed true to the goals I didn't even know I had.
The bouquets and floral centerpieces were stunning - she provided amazing details I could never have even thought to imagine like pearl beads along the bouquet wraps. She also built a BEAUTIFUL thatched arch with white lights that became the focal piece for our ceremony - we stood under it as we were married. The craftsmanship literally blew us away and has made all our ceremony pictures feel like a winter wonderland. Exactly what we were looking for. We received so many complements on this piece and couldn't imagine our day without it.
Kristen was responsive, professional, and went above and beyond. I planned my wedding from out of town and having Kristen locally was an amazing stress relief - she even went to the venue to check up on their holiday decor because I couldn't be there. On top of it all, her prices were competitive and she was a pleasure to work with.
Thank you Kristen!

Kristen is AMAZING! She arranged all of the flowers and decorations for our wedding in late October and she was so wonderful and easy to work with. I like to think that I'm pretty laid back, but I'm afraid that I came at her like a whirlwind - and she was so calm and patient with me throughout the process. She did everything I asked for and so much more (i.e. she took the remainder of the flowers and put them into the ladies room)! She was extremely creative and helpful with suggestions. The bouquets and the centerpieces were just gorgeous.
And on top of all of that - she fit everything into my budget!
I think the proof is in the pictures but the journey to get to that beautiful end result was so enjoyable with Kristen - I just can't recommend her highly enough!
Book her for your wedding/special event! You will not regret it!

Working with Kristen was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She had great ideas/suggestions for the flowers, and she was an absolute joy to work with. We had a smaller flower budget and she was very willing to help us stick to that. The flowers turned out gorgeous - even better than I had imagined! If you're looking for a florist for your wedding, put Garden Designs by Kristen at the top of your list!

When my first florist bailed on me, I was a little devastated. Being able to find Kristen turned my world around. Starting from a few emails and a meeting to more emails for exchanging ideas, working with Kristen was just so pleasant. She is very professional even her primary work is garden design but not wedding floral. And her garden design knowledge actually put her outside the normal wedding florist's box and made her creative. She even came up with ideas that to reuse the flowers on the ceremony to the reception which saved me money. Her work really wowed me on the wedding. She set everything up so perfectly that I was able to be worried free. All of my guest raved about how beautiful the center pieces are and I really can't say enough good things about Kristen, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding florist or help on garden design.

I couldn't have asked for a better florist than Kristen! I have to admit that I didn't have a detailed or clear vision of what I wanted before I met with Kristen, but she helped me narrow down a vision and theme for the wedding. She sent me ideas on Pinterest boards, I checked out the beautiful floral arrangements in her portfolio on her website, and I swapped photo ideas with her. The bouquets and centerpieces that Kristen delivered to the wedding venue were amazing! The designs were very creative and original. She has a great eye for creating interesting floral arrangements. My bouquet and centerpieces still look and smell great 5 days after the wedding with some watering. Kristen was very prompt in replying to emails. Her pricing was beyond fair. My husband and I first met Kristen at her home to talk about floral arrangements. Her home, inside and out, was straight out of a magazine. I was in awe of her landscaping, and I wish I could decorate my home the way that she does. When we left her home, we saw 2 different birds playing in the bird bath in her front yard. We had never seen actual birds in a bird bath before so we knew that working with Kristen was going to be magical.

She was easy to work with and went above and beyond to bring my vision for the event to life while remaining within a reasonable budget. It was a joy to work with her

Kristen from Garden Designs was beyond amazing! I was not a fan of flowers until I had the pleasure of meeting with her for my wedding. She was always professional, easy to contact and got back to us with any questions that we had. When first meeting with her, she came prepared with ideas and although is very knowledgeable in an array of flowers, was willing to research more to make perfection. She made the most beautiful bouquet's and arrangements and was able to make the personal touches I had requested. I received RAVE reviews from family and friends about the arrangements and how beautifully unique they were. From personal experience, I do not hear of the florist receiving wonderful compliments equal to the other vendors, but Kristen accomplished it. On top of her being beyond amazing, her prices are extremely good. I plan on her using her in the future for anything and will happily recommend Kristen to others.

I don't think I can say enough great things about Kristen! She was wonderful!! I actually felt sad when my wedding was over, because I felt a bond with her! When I met her for our initial consultation, I knew she was the perfect florist for my wedding flowers. She is so talented and truly is an artist! I was looking for an antique, romantic feel- and not only did she create my dream centerpieces, but she went above and beyond adding details that were literally breathtaking! My bouquet was beautiful- along with the bridesmaid's bouquets. She also worked with my budget and helped me to stay on track. She also gave me ways to stay in my budget and get the most for my price. She was beyond willing to work with me!
She gave GREAT ideas that helped add to the feel of the wedding (for example- adding lace overlays to tables, adding elegant pearls to votive candles and antique vases on the place card table). I can't count how many people complimented the beauty of the centerpieces! She also helped me to stay on track! Without EVER being the slightest bit pushy, she sent friendly reminders that kept me focused without ever having to worry that I was missing a detail. I never had to worry about her not coming through or missing something- she was so on point!
I absolutely LOVE Kristen and recommend her services to ANYONE!

Kristen's holiday decorations at the Crane Estate in Ipswich, MA were truly magnificent. The size, scale and color coordination of the centerpiece she created was just right for the setting. The room decorations were elegant and whimsical. I was particularly impressed by the "wisteria tree" she created with orchids.

Kristen was absolutely amazing!! She was able to meet the vision we had for our wedding - she not only met our expectations, she far surpassed our expectations! Kristen's eye for style and attention to detail was clearly on display throughout our wedding venue, which happened to be my parent's house. She transformed the interior and exterior of my parent's house into an elegant, intimate and beautiful "secret garden". All of our guests were amazed and could not say enough about Kristen's work. I am so grateful to have Kristen be a part of our special day and I highly reccomend her to anyone who expects perfection met with kindness and a great personality.

Garden Designs by Kristen exceeded my expectations (and for a wedding, that is quite delightful). She provided the fairest prices, most professional service, and unmatched talent of any florist with whom I have worked. In particular, I gave her a vague idea of my preferred bouquet and she absolutely went above and beyond, creating the most fantastically stunning arrangement I had ever seen. I highly recommend Kristen for any event!

Kristen was wonderful to work with! She was very good at listening to my (sometimes incoherent) ramblings about what sort of look I wanted for the wedding and coming up with the perfect flower arrangements to match. She also sent helpful ideas and suggestions to me throughout my engagement. I really liked that Kristen allowed me to select and purchase my own vases for the centerpieces. I was able to save a lot of money by choosing inexpensive vessels--this was not an option given by any of the other florists that I interviewed. Overall, because of Kristen's experitce and my confidence in her, I was able to cross off "flowers" as something to worry about on the big day, and she did not disappoint, the flowers were LOVELY!

We had used Kristen previously for some landscaping, and also for a large fundraising "Ball" at a beautiful colonial hall. For that event, and for this wedding - as always - Kristen did a stunning job. She met with us several times, took excellent notes and pictures of exactly what the bride wanted, did all the delivery and setup. The bride's bouquet was - without doubt - the most beautiful work of art I've ever seen. My daughter has worked as a wedding planner, so she has been involved in multimillion dollar weddings many times. This, however, was the most stunning I've ever seen. I would highly recommend Kristen for any event at any time.
For my second daughter's wedding - at our home - Kristen truly outdid herself. Landscaping to accommodate her needs - even in her colors. Flexibility, ease of use, creativity - way above and beyond the call. I can't say enough about how wonderful she is to work with, and what a beautiful job she does. I would never use anyone else!

I've been lucky enough to work with Kristen on various projects/corporate fundraisers over the years. Kristen was brought into a (then) recently renovated estate home (the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA) to decorate for a fundraiser auction. Her work was exquisite - from mantel arrangements to large table displays to smaller bouquets for high-tops, everything was just right.
Because of her reputation, we left it all to Kristen and she got it perfect! The flowers colors were perfect for the season and coordinated well with the decor of Willowdale Estate.
I would recommend Kristen without hesitation to any of my friends, family, and business associates.

For that event, and for this wedding - as always - Kristen did a stunning job. She met with us several times, took excellent notes and pictures of exactly what the bride wanted, did all the delivery and setup. The bride's bouquet was - without doubt - the most beautiful work of art I've ever seen. My daughter has worked as a wedding planner, so she has been involved in multimillion dollar weddings many times. This, however, was the most stunning I've ever seen. I would highly recommend Kristen for any event at any time.
