Great experience
Karen is such a sweet lady and was a joy to work with!! She was extremely flexible with our re-schedule and executed everything perfectly for our big day at Chatham Bars Inn. My family owns a florist in NJ, so flowers were definitely a big deal for us!! My bouquet was truly stunning, as were our centerpieces and everything else that Karen made. A couple of months prior we asked Karen if she would do 10 centerpieces for our welcome dinner the night before, and she delivered on this as well! They were exactly what I had pictured. We were able to use our reception centerpieces again at our brunch and they were just as beautiful the next day. Through working with Karen I learned that she only commits herself to one wedding every weekend, so she will be giving you all of her attention. I know this past year has been tough on everybody especially our florists, so thank you so much Karen for all that you did, and I cannot recommend your work enough!!!Petals by the Sea's reply:

Absolutely amazing!
Karen is amazing to work with and her floral designs are absolutely beautiful! Not only was she flexible when we had to change our wedding date from May to August, but also had to make day of changes to our arch arrangements due to tropical storm winds. I currently live out of state and Karen was great to work with by phone and email. The bouquets she made were gorgeous and all of our guests were gushing over her centerpieces. Cannot thank Karen enough for making our day extra special!Petals by the Sea's reply:
Thank you! I aim to please....and like working with my Brides from start to finish. As this year was a challenge to everyone....the personal way seems to work best for me to make sure things are perfect. Wishing you both the best! Karen. -

Robyn Sent on 11/20/2018Great, budget-friendly experience!
Karen was incredible to work with - very responsive and accommodating throughout the planning process. The flowers were delivered on-time on my wedding day and exceeded my expectations. Also, Karen was respectful of my modest budget. She stuck to it without pressuring me to spend more, and helped me to find flowers that worked well with the space, time of year, wedding theme, cost, etc. without ever making me feel "less than" because I didn't want to spend a lot. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in Cape Cod, hands-down! -

Alyssa Sent on 11/06/2018Lovely flowers!
Karen was great to work with! I told her what I wanted and my budget and she made it happen! She was always an email away when I needed to change something or had any questions. -
Jacqueline Sent on 09/09/2018Karen helped me with my florals, planning a wedding from Denver. I had to rely on photos of her work to get any idea of what she could provide. The arrangements were beautiful and as perfect as could be. The arch she provided with the fabric and flowers was so incredibly perfect! I feel like I got a really great value for the money spent. Having communicated mainly with email, I wasn't sure what to expect in person and she was a hoot! I loved her. Thank you Karen for the beautiful arrangements you provided!

User1000531 Sent on 11/02/2012It's always tough to know if a florist will see your vision and create the floral design you have in mind. My flowers were MORE BEAUTIFUL than I expected and I couldn't stop staring at them!! I received so many comments on how beautiful they were from all my guests. I even had a guest try to replicate my floral design for an event she had out of state because she loved them so much! I had to leave on my honeymoon the day after and I was sad that I couldn't enjoy the pretty center piece and bouquet that I took home from the wedding. (of course happy to be going on the honeymoon but you know what I mean, lol). Karen also has the most reasonable prices and will work above and beyond to ensure you get what you want and be 110% satisfied with your wedding flowers -

Anna Sent on 11/07/2011I loved my flowers! The bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful and Karen really helped me come up with all of the ideas in a budget that worked. I was very very happy with the floral work itself. Karen is super nice and very responsive to emails and phone calls. I will say that we had a bit of a snafu with payment just due to lack of understanding or communication on both sides but that at the end of the day everything turned out. Also one other hiccup was that at one point after revising my order half way through I received multiple different contracts all with varying information on price and even the wrong wedding date. It was just a mix up. Overall I would recommend Karen for your wedding florals, the flowers are beautiful, and as any bride would do I just recommend you stay on top of all of your paperwork and communication with vendors. -

Bridget H. Sent on 09/26/2021100% would not recommend!!!
I cannot say enough how I would not recommend this vendor. We got married at the Lighthouse Inn in West Dennis, MA on September 4th, 2021. I was very specific on what we would like for our wedding. We were only doing 1 bridal bouquet, 1 boutonniere for the groom, and garland for the tables (10 in total). Some of the garland for the tables would be used for an arch that was rented from the vendor for the ceremony and then divided accordingly. I initially wanted the garland to be only baby's breath and hops but agreed when she said she wanted to add eucalyptus to the garland. For my bouquet, I wanted MOSTLY dahlias, hops, and accents of other colorful flowers. I got none of this. There was not a single hop to be seen anywhere and this was the main thing that we wanted for everything. This was included in the contract and all email contact. Not a single sprig. Same with the baby's breath. Maybe a fist full throughout each garland, that's being generous. With the conversations had via email, I was extremely specific about the dahlias (which shouldn't have been any issue as they were in season). I am not joking when I said that I had two dahlias in my bouquet. Both were white (not the colors I had specifically asked for) and both were extremely wilted. Not a single speckle of hops in the bouquet. My husband's bout was supposed to be a dahlia and hops. No dahlia, no hops. The amount of dying flowers and filler included in my bouquet was out of this world. My photographer is a professional florist and was absolutely appalled. The amount of dead/dying plants that we had to take out of the bouquet was insane to say the least. The bouquet was given to my photographer to give to me (don't even get me started on that), as soon as she walked thru the door with it, I had to ask her if it was for another wedding.... The arch that was rented was set up lopsided. Every single picture, it looks like it is falling over. Never once did she communicate that she would somehow be unable to fulfill the order or needed to change flowers and whatnot. Never once let me know that she could only get dying flowers and none of what I asked for, specifically the hops and dahlias. I see online that she does flowers at a Star Market, so I'm assuming my items came from the section of flowers discounted because they're about to die. Extremely low quality product and services. I would have had significantly better products if I bought fake dollar store flowers or ordered them from Costco. Never once before or after did she reach out to let me know why she couldn't do the job she was hired for. I will scream it from the hilltops that you will be extremely disappointed if you hire this vendor and ask for anything other than a generic rose bouquet that you could pick up at Star Market!!! I will be attaching pictures ASAP to show what you do not want.Petals by the Sea's reply:
Unfortunately, the Bride is exaggerating and not telling the total truth of what transpired with her contract. Her contract , I could post on here if anyone was interested ! Archway with floral piece was set on the beach front and a gust of wind twisted it and broke a birch pole in half prior to her using it and we had to fix the best we could . For that we are sorry but it is a very windy area that we have no control of. Her garland per contract was listed mixed greens add sprigs of hops and babies breath. I had reserved her some hops with my floral distributor in Chelsea at the flower market but was not able to meet my ordering deadline due to the bride getting back to me 3 days late for ordering so my floral distributor sold my hops that was ordered. Not my fault as the bride was told there were deadlines to follow per the contract. Her bouquet listed in the contract which I have photos of when it was completed, had every flower listed on contract in it! Her husbands boutonnière per the contract had a matching rannuculous not a dahlia! The dahlias that we’re in her bouquet were yellow with raspberry....not white! Unfortunately, this Bride voided her contract every step of the way....beginning with having to send me her deposit late, final table numbers, late, to sending her balance with the wrong written amount a week and a half late.......I document everything as I saved a picture of flowers, checks, dates and notes. I was 6 years ago Management with Star Market and was a District floral trainer. My flowers come from the Flower Exchange in Chelsea and my hardgoods come from Jacobson’s, Boston or Fall River florist supply. I do not or have ever designed a Wedding with flowers from the Super Market paying retail verses wholesale. I will not include comments that other vendors involved have made in response to working with this Bride but will say she was all over the place and difficult and since the Photographer did have her bouquet for photos first and I had to deal with an arch issue she offered to bring her the bouquet when she was done with the photos.
