    Flawless Fall Florals

    All you have to do is look at Carlee’s portfolio and you know that she makes weddings beautiful, but when we got to our own wedding venue it exceeded any expectations we had! Our wedding colors were purple and orange, and Carlee made it WORK and created an autumn wonderland that left us saying wow all day. We were able to work closely with Carlee to make sure we were getting what we wanted and she even did her best to make the wedding eco friendly and sustainable and locally sourced like we asked. With the bride’s grandma being a master gardener, flowers and greenery were a top priority for us, and Carlee’s work even had Nana in awe. Everything looked perfect and we would recommend Goldenrod Floral to everyone in the Seattle area (and beyond)! Thank you for helping to create the wedding of our dreams! - Jeremy & Laura

    More than just a vendor!

    I cannot sing Carlee's praises enough! Her unique style, described as whimsical, organic, wild, and modern romantic, perfectly aligned with my vision for the big day. From the moment I first saw her portfolio, I knew she was the one to bring my floral dreams to life.

    What truly sets Carlee apart is her ability to take minimal direction and turn it into a masterpiece. I gave her the freedom to let her creativity run wild, and she exceeded all expectations. The highlight of her work and my special day was an absolutely breathtaking hanging installation. It was like a fairytale come to life, with bursting seasonal colors and vibrant blooms creating a mesmerizing focal point. It was evident that Carlee is not just a florist; she is an artist with a keen eye for color, texture, and composition.

    On the day of the wedding, everything was flawlessly executed and set up by the time we arrived at the venue. The ambiance created by Carlee's floral designs was nothing short of magical, and I am still dreaming about the statement hanging foliage that stole the show.

    Carlee Donnelly was not just a vendor; she was a collaborative partner who brought passion and artistry to the most important day of my life. Her professionalism, availability, creativity, and genuine love for her craft made her one of my favorite vendors to work with. If you're in search of a florist who can turn your floral fantasies into reality, look no further than Carlee Donnelly. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly exceptional and unforgettable floral experience.

    Carlee is an ARTIST when it comes to Florals

    We hired Carlee with Goldenrod Floral Design for our wedding, and I am SO glad we did! She is a phenomenal florist. Truly it is her gift. Our florals were perfect, from my bridal bouquet to our centerpieces and arbor, it was everything I imagined and more. Carlee is so friendly and personable, and I had a great time working with her. After meeting with her and describing my vision, I felt like she really understood what I wanted. She is an artist when it comes to florals. I cried tears of happiness when she delivered my bouquet to our hotel and couldn’t stop staring at our beautiful head table during dinner. 10/10.

    Carlee is wonderful!

    Carlee was a joy to work with. We hired her for our intimate micro wedding. She is so creative and passionate about her craft. I appreciated her responsiveness to emails and top notch communication throughout the planning process. I can't wait to share flower photos once we receive them from our photographer. Highly recommend! Thank you!

    Carlee is the flower QUEEEEN

    I had been following Carlee on instagram for a while before I even got engaged- then when we decided to elope in Washington I KNEW I wanted her to do my florals. I have been in love with her work forever!!

    Carlee did an incredible job and was absolutely amazing to work with. She had great communication throughout the process leading up to our wedding day. She asked lots of questions to get clear vision of what I wanted, and she knocked it out of the park. She made me the wildflower bouquet of my dreams, and I don’t think I’ll ever get over how much I loved it.

    HIGHLY recommend Goldenrod Floral!! Thank you so much Carlee!!

    Wedding flowers of my DREAM

    I can't say enough great things about Carlee and her team. Throughout the process, Carlee was amazing to work with and I could not recommend her more for a wedding or special event. She took my inspiration pictures and ideas to heart and really blew me away with her beautiful work. You were my dream vendor, Carlee!!!

    Feel lucky that you just stumbled upon this gem of a florist!!!!

    Our florals were definitely one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our wedding! All of our guests commented on how absolutely stunning our florals were.
    On top of that, Carlee was so amazing to work with. From the beginning, she ensured that she fully understood our vision so that we could have the wedding of our dreams. She even joined us at our venue to walk through the plan for our florals, making sure everything was perfect.
    I cannot thank Carlee enough for making our wedding exactly what we wanted. 10/10 recommend if you want a show-stopping floral design that fits your design perfectly, and a stress free set up process.

    No better choice for the *wildly romantic*!

    Before I even met Carlee, I immediately knew from her work that I had to have her do the floral aspect of our wedding. If you’ve seen her work, you know that it is vibrant, lively, and radiant just. like. her... It is like each petal of every flower is touched by her love, I’m not exaggerating - she is that sweet of a soul. From the first time I met her, each interaction has been an absolute joy. She truly cares about making sure your wedding will be the most magical looking day, no matter how simple or extravagant you want your floral arrangements to be. From our *Bridgerton (as Carlee would describe it)* look of a ceremony and reception to the tiny, beautiful bouttonieres she created, she will never miss a single detail that needs to amaze you.

    Your wedding is one of the most important and special days in your life, so having someone that you can trust to understand your vision and budget is so incredibly important and Carlee is that person. I really can’t believe how lucky I got with Carlee because not only is she such a sweetheart, she is also beyond thoughtful, passionate about her work, and generous. The months leading up to our wedding were obviously so full of excitement over the floral designs but oh my gosh, words can not explain how much Carlee *genuinely* wants to make you happy with what she can do so some examples that truly touched our hearts were

    1) when she added even MORE details to our floral arch with no extra charge as a wedding gift because she couldn’t help herself over the design that she had in mind - which also matched one of my Pinterest inspo pics(um hello, my heart exploded from joy because Carlee was meant to be my florist)

    2) the taper candles she found that also had pressed flowers inside them (like I said, tiniest details!!), and

    3) when she collaborated with my angel of a photographer(Natalie Malis/mistofmorning) who offered us a third photoshoot by whipping me up another beautiful bouquet free of charge as well because they both understood how my stress that day made it hard to be in the moment for our pictures.

    Now every time I look at our pictures, I can’t help but feel an immense amount of appreciation again for every hardworking person that put their heart and soul into creating our dreamy wedding.
    Obviously, weddings are proof of a couple’s love but with the right vendors, it is also proof of the care and respect vendors have for the couple and we couldn’t have had better. Carlee, you are the best and we love and appreciate you and your team so so much.

    Made our floral dreams come true!!

    We contacted Carlee a couple months before our wedding when our original florist retired early and could no longer provide her services, and we are SO lucky Carlee was available for our date! Our venue was a large industrial room in a downtown setting and Carlee's arrangements brought LIFE to the room - our guests have not stopped raving about the flowers and we truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Carlee. She is kind and easy to work with and so incredibly talented. I gave her a general color scheme and design plan and she nailed every single aspect from the tabletop florals and tapers to the floral arch for our ceremony to the bouquets and boutineers. Worth every penny and then some!

    Elopement beauty!

    Carlee was so great to work with! She was so quick to respond to my initial request and was able to complete my vision simply with a few phone calls and some images from my Pinterest board. She was also so flexible in regards to payment (she let me Venmo the payment to her which was so quick and easy for me!) as well as pick up options. I couldn’t decide how to best transport the flowers and she was so patient with me while I figured it out. Also-she made sure each individual flower of my table arrangement was hydrated until it was time for our event. I also appreciated being able to “decorate” my own arrangement, it was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. I got so many compliments on our flowers and wish I could have kept them alive forever. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

    Beyond what I could have ever imagined...magical wedding florals!

    I cannot say just how amazing Carlee is, because there just aren't the right words. We had Carlee design our wedding florals, and they were an absolute dream. She is the sweetest, most genuine person, and working with her was easy from start to finish. From the first time I spoke with her, I felt completely confident that she understood my vision and was going to take it and run with it. ....And did she ever! When we had our florals picked up the day before our wedding, I was speechless. Even though my husband and I opted for an intimate "just us" small-scale wedding (with no guests), Carlee put just as much care and love and detail into our flowers as if it were a big huge elaborate wedding. My bouquet was just the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. I wish flowers lasted forever, bc I would have carried that baby everywhere I go for the rest of my life. She also put together the most precious garland for the back of our car, and the photos speak for themselves. She also arranged multiple centerpieces for our dinner table, and they were stunning. Carlee was on top of everything, organized, and never gave me any cause to worry. Pickup & rental return was a piece of cake. I cannot imagine that anyone anywhere could have done a more perfect job with our wedding florals. Seriously, Carlee is mad talented. I could go on and on.... but just check out these photos. Thank you, Carlee. You will forever be a special part of our big day, and I can't thank you enough.

    Say YES to Rusted Vase doing your florals!

    Rusted Vase and Carlee is a highly creative, passionate, and organized florist who was an absolute joy to work with. It’s clear she cares deeply about her work and bringing others' visions to life.

    Nothing but raves across the board for Carlee!

    We had a really tough time planning even a tiny wedding mid-pandemic, but Carlee was a dream to work with and put us so at ease. From our very first conversation she was kind, positive, and professional in every interaction–we trusted her completely, communication was easy, and her design process was just right for us. She built on our vision for flowers in the most beautiful way, incorporating our favorite botanicals, special requests, and creative surprises (who knew quinoa could be SO PRETTY in a floral arrangement?!) and they turned out even more joyful and expressive than I could have imagined! I will never, ever forget seeing our ceremony florals for the first time. When we first started wedding planning, we weren't sure we were going to prioritize flowers, but after working with Carlee I'm so glad we did; they ended up being a magical part of our day.

    Carlee is AMAZING. Innovative, creative, out of the box florals!

    Goldenrod Floral Design is exactly what you need to transform your wedding. Carlee is such a creative, inspiring, and hardworking florist. You will never be disappointed with what she creates! She is so helpful when it comes to building a design, color palette, and accessories to add to your tables & aisles to compliment her florals. Whenever I had a question, she was always there to help me. Carlee is the best of the best.

    Carlee is the best!

    We had a backyard wedding in summer 2021 but we still wanted it to feel a bit glam. Carlee was very understanding of our budget, and gently let us know when we had unrealistic expectations (ie: flowers that aren’t in season). I loved her creativity, working with her, and the finished product! Happy Bride over here :)

    The best florist you’ll ever find

    Carlee understood the vision of our wedding SO well. First of all, she is so kind and sweet. Second, and the most obvious, is she is INSANELY talented. I couldn’t believe the details of all of our florals for our wedding. We gave her some thoughts and ideas but let her run with it and holy cow, it was STUNNING. Florals were one of the most important parts for me, and I can’t imagine going with anyone but Carlee. I can’t recommend her enough. THANK YOU CARLEE WE LOVE YOU :)

    Hands down the best!

    Carlee was tied in first place along with our wedding designer as our favorite and most impactful vendor we hired. She went above and beyond - spending extra time to help us define our style (as Covid had us planning and replanning our event). She encouraged us to think outside of the box and trust her with using bright, fun colors and vases, as well as unique ideas that would stretch our budget the farthest. Everything turned out better than I could have imagined. Incredible talent and and an even more incredible person to work with! Could not recommend Carlee and her team enough.

    The most magical florals

    Carlee's floral arrangements for our wedding were so magical and perfect. She truly brought my design vision to life and put so much care and love into every single detail. Some of my favorite parts were the stunning bouquet that she created for me and the elevated arrangements that she created for the dining table. Having dinner with loved ones under the gorgeous greenery was one of my happiest moments. We can't thank her enough for her beautiful work!

    The Flowers of Your Dreams!

    Carlee is AMAZING!!! I was so excited when I was able to secure her for my wedding. She is able to create gorgeous arrangements that are the essence of your style! Carlee was super flexible, with TWO postponements due to Covid and tons of changes to everything. I loved all the bouquets and table arrangements, it fit our vibe perfectly. I get tons of compliments of the flowers when I show people the pictures. As painful as planning a wedding during Covid was I felt supported and listened to by Carlee - not just for flowers but everything in general.

    The most gorgeous flowers

    Carlee's work speaks for itself -- if you haven't seen her arrangements, bouquets, and installs, you're truly missing out! Looking back, I realize I didn't give Carlee much guidance for what I was looking for, but I knew I could fully trust her artistic eye and expertise. On top of the most gorgeous flowers that Carlee prepped for our wedding (including my absolute favorite tree install), Carlee was flexible and understanding, and she also provided recommendations as we navigated the challenges of planning a wedding during this crazy pandemic. I'm grateful for having Carlee on my vendor team -- everyone couldn't stop talking about how much the flowers at our wedding truly made the entire day feel like a fairy tale!

    it was all a dream - 9/28/19

    Carlee is a dream, our dream day was simply magical. Down to the eucalyptus, the gorgeous blooms on our arch, the sprigs on the napkins, the magical sporadic blooms on tables, to my most unique personal bouquet. I want to find every reason to have Carlee and her team floralize my life events forever.

    The most beautiful flowers!

    Carlee is truly the most talented florist, EVER! She is so easy to communicate with even when you live across the country. When I saw my bouquet for the first time my jaw dropped. It was the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen. If you book Carlee for you flowers you wont regret it. I would book her over and over again!

    Amazing Florals

    Carlee was wonderful to work with. The arbor, table decor, and bouquets she put together were absolutely stunning and showed a keen understanding for the look we were going for. She was also so easy to work with and very accommodating as we changed our wedding plans due to the ongoing pandemic. Will gladly hire her again in an instant!

    The greatest!

    There is no one who compares to Carlee. For 2 years (Covid wedding) she continued to work with me to give me the wedding of my dreams. My vision was something unique and different and she completely brought it to life. I relied on her through so much of the process and couldn’t have done it without her. Her talent is extreme and will make your wedding something to remember. Every guest commented on how amazing the florals were all night. She is AMAZING!
