  Wonderful experience with Chantal

  Chantal blew me away with the flowers! I had met with Chantal about a year out from the wedding, right after I met with her, i knew I wanted to work with her. She was professional, knowledgeable, respected and kept to our budget, and truly knew what she was doing.
  
  The execution was outstanding and everything turned out beautiful. Chantal was the perfect balance of letting me have my option and understanding what i was wanting while also making sure she could match my expectations and was honest and helpful with what was available.
  Super happy with Chantal!

  Garden Florist

  Working with Chantal to achieve our floral vision was a dream! Chantal was able to work with our tight budget, and was extremely flexible and knowledgeable! Her valuable insight and responsiveness allowed us to get a venue decorated and everyone flowered up even amidst a crazy wedding day split between multiple locations! The arrangements were so stunning, everyone was eager to snag a bunch to bring home and display on their own tables afterwards! Absolutely recommend. Thank you so much!

  Great Quality Flowers

  Chantal was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and was willing to work with our budget, which was hard to find when researching vendors. Her flowers are amazing quality and last so long after the event, making it easy to keep enjoying them long after. She is very quick to respond to emails and was always available to answer questions or meet in person, which was greatly appreciated. I was so happy with our bridal party bouquets and our centerpieces. I even had my mother in law preserve my bridal bouquet so that I can continue to enjoy it and remember our special day.

  Garden Florist was absolutely amazing to work with. Not only did she listen to what I wanted, but also had great ideas to add to my vision and exceeded my expectations. My wedding bouquet was so beautiful, and the flower crowns were so adorable. The pictures look amazing. Thank you!

  I cannot say a single bad thing about my experience with Garden Florist - from the beginning Chantal was amazing to work with, understanding of my budget, and creative with making my vision come alive. I was extremely happy with the turnout with my wedding flowers and can't recommend her more!

  We used Chantal Dodson for my daughter's wedding and her work is so beautiful! She really took time to explore with my daughter what she wanted and pulled it off beautifully. Chantal is such a fun person and really knows how to connect and understand what people want. I can't say enough about her and her artistry - you won't be disappointed!!!

  Chantal was amazing to work with for our wedding! During the initial phone discussion, she had great ideas once I described the look we were going for. When we met in person to see the wedding centerpiece idea, she got it right on the nose. It was beautiful succulents along with blush roses and other decorative greens. With every step of the way she was always checking in to make sure that she was executing our vision.
  
  One the day of, she arrived on time, helped to set up the chuppa and checked in with me that the bouquet size was just right. She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her!

  Chantal is a floral goddess! She has a tremendous gift and I'm just so grateful that she was able to make our wedding so glorious! Right when we were ending our first meeting, Chantal could sense that what we had discussed for the reception wasn't really reflective of our aesthetic or the location. She sat us back down and probed, then got super excited when we started heading away from the previously discussed neutral elegant palette and toward a more funky and colorful combination. Her enthusiasm was so contagious and I felt I could trust her completely.
  
  This woman is extraordinary! Our neutral bouquets were gorgeous and sophisticated with a touch of whimsy, they photographed beautifully. But what really blew me away were the arrangements she made for the reception. Chantal paired vibrant colors and textures in a way I had never seen before. Our Indonesian-fusion restaurant was completely spectacular, which is due entirely to Chantal who evidently spent over four hours transforming the entire space with her husband. Our friends and families were completely blown away the minute they walked in, it was beyond anything I had ever imagined!
  
  Throughout this entire process, Chantal was a delight. She will work with any budget; she's fabulously intuitive and has the most incredible eye. Chantal's flowers made our pseudo-elopement feel like an actual wedding. I can't thank her enough for sharing her talents with us!

  Chantal did such an amazing job with our wedding flowers. She was so great throughout the entire process and captured our vision perfectly! She was extremely responsive and made sure she got my approval before moving forward with her idea. I sent her pictures of what I was looking for and she was able to tailor it perfectly to fit our theme. I would recommend her to anyone!

  We just had our wedding earlier this month at Saddle Peak Lodge and Chantal from Garden Florist did our flowers! Everything was absolutely beautiful and we received so many compliments on ALL of the flowers…especially our chuppah and my bouquet. Chantal was so inviting and accommodating to work with every step of the process! We discussed my vision of a “modern rustic” wedding (but no burlap or lace) and I couldn’t have asked her to recreate what I had been hoping for any better than she did. I was so happy to have found her…very fairly priced and an absolute master of her craft! We also had her do small arrangements for us for our rehearsal dinner at Duke’s in Malibu. She went above and beyond when I asked her make pineapples the vases for the arrangements. She had never done it before but said that she was willing to and they came out absolutely beautifully as well! We can’t thank her and her husband enough for making our special day absolutely perfect!

  As a photographer, I used Garden Florist for a styled wedding shoot in Santa Barbara and Chantal was just incredible! She had amazing ideas when we spoke on the phone and brought them to life in a shoot that we’ve had published at least half a dozen times. Her floral style is unique but classic, her color choices are spot on and I love referring her to clients!
