    Floral Perfection

    Admittedly, I do not have an eye for design. Thankfully, Michelle knows exactly what she's doing. All I had to do was tell Michelle my rough (very rough!) ideas for what kind of theme I was looking for (whimsical, rustic) and she took it from there. Michelle gives you plenty of options to choose from and goes out of her way to make sure it all comes together exactly how you imagined. She also uses flowers and plants native to, and in-season in Vermont. The result was exquisite.

    Gorgeous blooms for our wedding day

    We are so glad that we chose Petals for our flower vendor. They created a beautiful chuppah, bridal bouquet, a flower girl crown, centerpieces, and more for our wedding day. We got many compliments on our wedding flowers. We only met the owner briefly, but she was very friendly.

    Petals's reply:

    It was a joy creating wedding flowers for you. I enjoyed seeing the beautiful images of your celebration and enjoyed meeting you both and your friends. Congratulations.

    INCREDIBLE design and execution

    I’m a bit delayed in sharing this review (wedding was in June 22) but better late than never and Michelle deserves all the praise and recognition considering how wonderful her work and partnership were.

    I found Petals fairly late in my process. I had convinced myself that I could get by with doing my own flowers (yeah… big mistake I thankfully was able to correct).

    The first time I spoke with Michelle, it felt so incredibly easy to connect. She completely understood the vision and was so thoughtful in how she approached the different design elements. Throughout the process, she would update her proposal with different pictures that gave me the reassurance she knew exactly what I was looking for.

    And seriously - the flowers were STUNNING! I couldn’t get over it! The archway was absolutely gorgeous, the bouquet was beautiful, and the table decorations were amazing. Everything worked so well. Additionally, she worked with me on some creative ways to incorporate some additional floral touches throughout the venue.

    I’m so incredibly grateful that I found Michelle. She was a joy to work with, put me at ease with her process, was so kind with how she approached my budget and the options available to me, and created such an incredible event with her floral design.

    If you’re still reading this review…. Stop and just contact Michelle for your floral needs. You absolutely won’t be disappointed.

    Made the entire process manageable and achievable

    Picking a florist was one of the scariest parts of my wedding, because they really do make such a difference, but I don't know enough about flowers to feel I can make an informed decision. We spoke to a couple florists, but we were sold by Michelle after talking to her. She takes the time to get to know the couple, hear what they like and what they don't - in our own words. Then, she built a proposal that included 5-10 options for each category that we wanted to purchase (bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages, arbor pieces, aisle decorations).

    This proposal was beyond helpful. It included images of the bouquet style, a break down of each flower with an image of each, notes about how she could/would adjust, and a price. This allowed us to learn what we truly liked, where we wanted to spend more and how we might adjust. Then, we were able to go into our next meeting and make informed adjustments. Michelle also helped us by suggesting tweaks that she felt we might like as we discussed our thought process, so that by the end of the call I felt confident and excited that we had chosen the perfect options to capture the "vibe" we were hoping for.

    Michelle's pricing is reasonable and she also suggested options for us to save money as well (ie. bringing our own shepherds hooks, so that we didn't need to pay delivery/pickup fees). She never pushed us to spend more, it felt like she truly just wanted us to have a pleasant experience-she even insisted on pinning all the boutonnieres on the men to ensure that they were straight-and stay straight all day. Michelle made the process so fun and empowering.

    Petals's reply:

    Congratulations and it was a honor to be able to be part of your special day...Thank you for the lovely review...

    Best,
    Michelle

    The most beautiful and magical wedding flowers

    Michelle has an absolute AMAZING talent for floral design and arrangements. Working with her has been a joy from the very beginning. Michelle presented us with the most awe-inspiring proposal for our wedding complete with numerous pictures, options, and ideas (how fun it was to choose!) -- and when Covid-19 changed our plans completely, she easily reworked the proposal to fit our new elopement spot. She created numerous different pieces for our elopement -- from arbor flowers to a stunning bouquet, and many other arrangements to decorate numerous different dining and cake takes, to even last minute hair flowers for our wedding guest -- each arrangement was vibrant, creative, and truly magical. Michelle's eye and talent for flowers and for taking care of her brides is unmatched! Thank you, Michelle, for making our day so special and beautiful!

    Beautiful Work!

    Michelle's work is truly beautiful! She came recommended to me via my wedding planner and my husband and I couldn't be more pleased with her work. She is so lovely and she worked well with my planner in coming up with a design that worked within our budget. When I saw all of our floral arrangements, bouquets/boutonnieres, and greenery the day of our wedding, I was stunned at how beautiful everything turned out. Truly better than we imagined! Also, we were married on a hot day in August and she worked hard to make sure our flowers stayed in the best shape despite the heat. She did an amazing job - I wish I could've kept my bouquet forever!

    Petals's reply:

    Hi Shauna,
    Thank you so much for you review. It was a pleasure to work with you. It was a beautiful day and I loved all the images that documented it. You both looked amazing! Congratulations on your wedding and wishing you many happy years ahead.

    I cannot recommend Michelle enough. She worked with us for many months to make sure our vision came to life. People kept telling me that my bouquet was the most gorgeous arrangement they have ever seen. I have to agree! She also put together a breathtaking archway in which we got married under. All the flowers were beautiful and kept for many days after the wedding. I would highly recommend Michelle!

    Just want to give a huge thank you to Michelle for making my flower dreams come true! It literally looked like something out of a magazine and pinterest board! She's super sweet and easy to work with and such a talented woman! I highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the VT area. Thanks again!

    Booking Michelle Boleski of Petals was one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding process. On top of being an incredibly talented floral designer, she's also a genuinely wonderful person who you enjoy wedding planning with (she gives great advice and thinks of things you'd never think of as a rookie wedding thrower). I couldn't quite articulate what I wanted for flowers or centerpieces. All I kept saying was, "I like green and cream and white." Michelle took a look at a Pinterest board I made and from then on it was like she was in my head: she knew exactly what look I was going for and created beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, dessert and card tablescapes... it looked magical. All of the pieces were arranged beautifully. Michelle took so many things into careful consideration -- the setting, my personality, the color scheme, the budget -- and the entire time I knew I could completely trust her instincts and style choices. Our guests loved what she did and our families constantly talk about the flowers in the pantheon of compliments: Amazing food, great music, and incredible flowers. I recommend Petals without reservation or hesitation. Michelle is fantastic.

    Michelle did an incredible job with all the flowers at our wedding! She listened to my preferences and was able to determine exactly what I would like (even when I struggled to figure it out myself!). She is truly an artist, and her work demonstrates that. I absolutely loved my bouquet and she worked closely with us to stay within our budget while providing us with beautiful centerpieces, ceremony decor and flowers for our special guests at the wedding. When we needed an extra center piece last minute, she created one for us without a problem! I highly recommend Michelle at Petals!

    Michelle at Petals was amazing. She understood what we wanted for our wedding and offered many suggestions that fit within our budget and design. She was very familiar with our venue and I often ran into her having meetings there about other weddings- she was always willing to walk me through her design ideas and the layout. She was professional and incredibly talented-- everything she did was absolutely beautiful! When it rained on my wedding day, I was concerned that our rain plan would not be as beautiful as what I had imagined outdoors, but Michelle used extra flowers she had on hand to create altarpieces (not part of our agreed upon rain plan). The wedding ended up more beautiful than I had even imagined and we cannot thank her enough!

    Michelle is not just a gifted florist, she genuinely cares about what you want your wedding to feel like. She was excellent at helping me figure out what flowers I would need to achieve the kind of look that I wanted (I know a little about flowers, but not enough to really be articulate about what I was looking for). Michelle walked me through the process, we shared a Pinterest board so I could show her the types of things that I liked (that was really helpful for me), and she was realistic with me about my budget. Not only did she get me the best value for money, but she had a TON of props that pulled everything together. Also, she was really good with email, which was important to me. I felt like she really listened to me and cared about everything I told her. If you can get her, book her.

    Michelle was wonderful to work with. I came to her with some ideas, but without a clear vision of how I wanted my wedding flowers to look. I told her the colors and types of flowers I liked, and she was full of ideas and suggestions. Together we created a vision that was soft and romantic, with all shades of pinks, greens and white. Michelle's work came together beautifully, and the flowers at my wedding were just perfect. I absolutely loved the bouquet she created, and all of the detail she put into the ceremony and reception decorations. She was professional, always returning calls and emails, and the quality of her work was exceptional. I highly recommend Petals!

    Michelle deserves major praise for the time and energy she put into making our wedding so beautiful. I had a very clear vision of how I wanted my flowers to look and she took the time to understand me completely. I am so thankful for all of her honesty. When I wanted out-of-season flowers, she let me know what would and would not be possible. She also offered me wonderful alternatives that still fit perfectly with my overall vision. I got to know Michelle even better after Hurricane Irene. We were forced to postpone our wedding and Michelle was stuck with some of the flowers she’d already purchased for our original wedding date. She donated those flowers and her time to another couple. Her professionalism, kindness and knowledge of flowers make her the perfect choice for any couple planning their wedding.

    The flowers were AMAZING! Exactly what I wanted, and she was even able to mix in other flowers that I hadn't even thought of and they only made everything even more beautiful. She was very flexible and worked around our schedule, even coming out to our home to make sure everyone had their right flowers and then drove over an hour the other direction to oversee the flowers are our venue! I couldn't have asked for more beautiful flowers and arrangements then what she provided. The flowers for my (the bride) bouquet were so gorgeous, exactly what I had always envisioned for my wedding!

    Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with! The only details I had selected were my dress and the bm dresses when I first met with her. Michelle immediately started pulling together ideas and sending me pics and design boards to help me figure out which direction I wanted my vision to go! She was incredibly responsive and flexible. I literally had NO idea what I wanted for colors or flowers when I first met with Michelle. She came from Vermont to Boston and met me at the flower shop. She walked my friend and I through the market to get a sense for what I liked, loved and hated! We met several times after that initial meeting to further narrow down my vision (i am incredibly indecisive!). Michelle was patient, thorough and unbelievably generous with her time and ideas! When I walked outside on the day of my wedding, I could not have been more amazed! I can honestly say that I still did not know what I wanted even up to the day of...but Michelle certainly did! I truly could not have imagined more beautiful flowers and arrangements that perfectly suited my personal style and my vision for our wedding. We received so many compliments on the flowers that day and they really set the stage for one of the best days of our life. I still sift through my photographer's photos and comment on how gorgeous the flowers were! Thank you Michelle for everything!!! I hope we have the opportunity to work together again some day down the line!

    Michelle was an absolute delight to work with - she did a fabulous job and was always conscientious of our budget. I was also planning from a distance and she was always communicating with me and sending photos and offering examples. During the wedding, when my husband's boutonniere got crushed during photos, she even ran home and came back with a new one for him to wear for the remainder of the evening. I can't recommend Michelle and her more highly.

    Michelle at Petals was wonderful! The flowers were absolutly beautiful. They were nicer than I even imagined. And she was so helpful through the entire process. She came down to Boston to meet with me and was always very responsive. She went above and beyond with finding lights that fit into my theme and came up with a wonderful idea of adding tealights to a large stone wall to light it up at night. Everything was so wonderful, I think out of all the people that I worked with during the entire wedding Michelle at Petals was by far the best.

    It was truly a pleasure to work with Michelle; the flowers for our wedding were absolutely gorgeous and reflected the season of our wedding. Of all the vendors we worked with, we were the most happy with Petals. Excellent service, great value, and, most importantly, beautiful arrangements!

    Michelle is an artist! My husband has mentioned on multiple occasions after the wedding that he's never really noticed the flowers at a wedding before and he was shocked by how beautiful our arrangements were! Michelle spent many evenings on the phone with me, working through my Pinterest board, sending pictures back and forth, until we had come up with the perfect colors, flowers, and details. She worked with me from a distance and put together the most beautiful flowers for our wedding. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the VT/NH area!

    Michelle was amazing. I had no vision, and she helped me find one. Our flower arrangements were more beautiful than I could have imagined. Just trust her!
