    A True Artist

    I have had the privilege to work with Carlee on not one, but two weddings.The first a summer elopement in 2020, the second a full wedding this past December. Though no one expects to get divorced, I was so happy to have a reason to work with her again! I was given a few floral vendor suggestions for wedding #2, and I was adamant that she was the only florist I was considering. I would be lying if I said I didn’t spend a lot of time on her Instagram lusting over her work over the years. Carlee brings equal parts creativity and class to all her floral designs. I think my favorite part about working with her was that she took inspiration from the mood board from our wedding planner and was able to create works of art! For example, we wanted “cozy, warm, elevated Christmas”, and she was able to design the most perfect pieces from the arch installation to the boutonnieres–and she set a lot of it up in an active snow storm! Florals can be one of those things you think you’ll just “do yourself”, but why do that when you could experience a true master of their craft at work? In my opinion after having planned two weddings, Carlee is the BEST there is!

    Thank you Carlee for working with me again. It was truly the best experience!

    The best!

    Goldenrod Florist made the most beautiful wedding flowers I could’ve imagined! She went above and beyond to make sure I had them in time for our elopement, even arranging a last-minute delivery. So kind, talented, and thoughtful — highly recommend!

    Dream florist

    Carlee made my wedding feel like a fairytale! My wedding vision was very floral heavy but I was still working within a budget. But when I saw the floral arrangements she made for my ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour, they were even larger and more beautiful than I had expected they'd be! Carlee also collaborated with my cake baker to create a floral meadow around the cake that would match the sugar flowers that were on the cake, which I thought was so cool and thoughtful. At my request, she also discretely disassembled some of the ceremony arrangements at the end of the night so that guests could go home with a bouquet of flowers! Carlee was a joy to work with and she is so talented at what she does! You will not regret hiring her for your event!

    The Most Beautiful Florals

    Hiring Goldenrod was the best decision for our special day. Their floras exceeded our expectations. Carlee was always prompt in answering any questions we had and when I decided to change our color pallet a few months before the wedding, she was happy to pivot and help me come up with a new plan. I had my bridesmaids pick up the florals in Seattle on our way to the mountains and everything was packaged thoughtfully and carefully. It was super easy for us to attach the arrangement to our arch and all flowers stayed in perfect condition for the 24 hours between pick up and wedding time. Aside from marrying my best friend in the mountains, my bouquet is my favorite memory of this day. The bright beautiful colors made our photos pop. Hire Carlee and her Goldenrod team!!

    5 stars for Carlee from Goldenrod Florals

    Goldenrod Floral did an absolutely amazing job!! I was obsessed with all my table top florals, bouquets and boutonnieres. Carlee was so sweet the entire time we worked together too! Thank you for making my wedding day so perfect!

    Gorgeous Floral Design

    Carlee was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and I knew immediately she was the florist for us. With a sweet soul and true passion for florals, Carlee ensured my vision was realized. She personally delivered my bouquets and I don't think I was fully prepared for how stunning they would be. The colors, the types of flowers I requested, and the care she put into building each arrangement was stunning. Our ceremony backdrop was unbelievably gorgeous and our table scapes were perfection. Everything was perfect and I couldn't believe these were the florals at MY wedding. I felt incredible lucky to work with Carlee and her team. Highly recommend.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    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 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 :)

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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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 :)

    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 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 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!

    Amazing!

    Rusted Vase Floral Co. was a delight to work with. Carlee was very helpful in guiding me through the flower process. She was very easy to work with, and made us very comfortable with everything the day of the elopement. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and well done. Rusted Vase Floral Co. will be an excellent choice for your wedding or elopement day or any special occasion! Highly highly recommend her and her work!

    Amazing experience

    Carlee was absolutely amazing to work her - she is an awesome person - AND the florals and design work she arranged for our micro wedding were stunning. She listened to my vision and went above and beyond to deliver. I can not recommend Carlee and RustedVaseFloralCo enough!!

    Creative floral genius!!

    I had a vision that I wanted the flowers at my wedding to look and feel like they came out of a garden. I showed her one inspo pic and told her the colors I wanted and she took it from there...I didn't give her much direction but I could tell she saw my vision and she delivered!!!! The flowers at my wedding were stunning and I cannot stress enough how kind, creative and fun Carlee was to work with. 2020 was a crazy year to get married and Carlee was beyond responsive, understanding and flexible which was SO appreciated. I cannot recommend her and her work enough!! She is truly the best.

    My flexible, fern and floral angel!

    Carlee was SO wonderful to work with. We changed dates/venue/guest count due to COVID and she never missed a beat. It was so nice to know the bulk of our wedding decor was in the most capable hands. She also made all of my fern dreams come true despite an allergy. I can’t recommend her enough!

    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!

    Insanely gorgeous florals

    Carlee is SO talented. She can create any style, any vibe, anything your heart desires. At first I was so invested in exactly what my florals would look like, down to the very last little detail (Carlee was always gracious, open, and listened!) but after taking a deep breath I realized I needed to let Carlee be the artist she is and create her magic. And oh boy did she not disappoint. She listened to exactly what I had wanted from the very beginning and then elevated it to look even more gorgeous than I could have imagined. The florals highlighted the wispy, beachy and enchanted vibe we were looking for, while also magically matched my dress along with the entire atmosphere around us. Carlee is so creative, she makes such unique and beautiful pieces that differ from any other floral arrangements I’ve ever seen. If you want beautiful florals, a kind person, and someone who thinks outside the box in every magical way, hire Carlee!

    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!

    Gorgeous, amazing flowers

    After seeing Carlee's flowers on Instagram, I knew she was the perfect florist for our wedding. Her work is incredible and so freaking gorgeous. I gave her our color pallet and a few inspiration photos and she nailed it. I can't wait for our photos to arrive so I can keep staring at my bouquet. Carlee also handled our adjustments due to COVID with ease and flexibility. I couldn't have asked for a better florist!

    Out of 5 stars...I would give Carlee 6! She is so creative, professional, and very responsive. Trying to plan an elopement when you live 2,500 miles away can be stressful but adding covid was the cherry on top. I never once stressed about my flowers because Carlee was communicating with me through the whole process. I showed her a picture of a bouquet that I really liked and she gave me something EVEN BETTER. She has a gift for creating! Thank you Carlee!

    If you’re trying to decide on a florist. Your search should stop here! :)

    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!

    Forever obsessed! Dream vendor.

    Flowers were one of the most important aspects of our wedding day, so I spent a long time (even before I was engaged!) keeping an eye out for the right person. I fell in love with Carlee's work and emailed her literally the day we got engaged because I was so excited to work with her. To say that she delivered above and beyond our expectations is an understatement. Right from the beginning, she totally understood my vision and was so patient with me as I debated vase choice, boutonniere count, etc. She created my absolute DREAM bouquet and table decor. I had so many people tell me at the wedding—and after—that the flower arrangements were the most beautiful they had ever seen. I truly cannot say enough how talented, kind, creative and lovely Carlee is! I wish we could have another wedding just so we could hire her to do the flowers again. :)

    Pure perfection

    Carlee did an amazing job with our flowers! I am so so happy I ended up picking her! The flowers were the highlight of the day. We got married on the coast and strangers kept commenting how beautiful the bouquet was. Carlee was very easy to work with and would 100% recommend her!

    Even better than what we imagined!

    As a couple living in Tampa, FL planning an elopement in the Seattle, WA area, we knew that we wanted the best of the best when it came to vendors. For that reason, Rusted Vase Co was our obvious choice for wedding florals. I initially fell in love with Carlee’s work via Instagram, and I was so glad to be able to actually work with her! Since we were planning our day from so far away, we decided to simply give our vendors a general vision for our decor/vibe and just let them do their thing. When I saw my bouquet for the first time alongside our altar arrangements and table arrangements, I was in awe! It was so much more beautiful than we even imagined. We highly recommend working Carlee/Rusted Vase Co! Not only are the arrangements gorgeous, but she is truly just a great human! Thank you, Carlee!

    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.

    Made all of my floral dreams come true !

    Carlee is just the best. From the outset, she was responsive, flexible, and just so sweet. When I told her I wanted "blue poof installations" she knew exactly what I was going for and the result was AMAZING. She listened to my vision and executed everything perfectly. I cannot recommend Carlee enough!

    Stunning Floral Work!!

    I loved working with Carlee at Rusted Vase Co! I was absolutely in love and obsessed with all of the bouquets and the center pieces she created. She did 18 center pieces and 7 bouquets for us. Carlee was kind and easy to talk with, and she incorporated so many different elements (colors, scent, texture, greenery) into the arrangements. I basically showed her some pictures of what I liked, but told her to just run with it as she's the artist. I totally trusted her to come up with something beautiful based on my scattered ideas. What we ended up with was absolutely beautiful, and the perfect pop of color to brighten our day. Everything she created was a work of art! She also locally sources her plants and uses what's available and in season, which I appreciated. I cannot say enough great things about Carlee & Rusted Vase Co and would recommend her to anyone!

    Amazing!

    AMAZING! I got in touch with Carlee when I was in a pinch (literally 1 month before our wedding--highly recommend booking her much further in advance!). I had an issue with a different florist I had initially inquired with and since we were having a very intimate wedding, we were just going to end up doing the flowers on our own (yikes!). I called Carlee on a whim after stumbling upon her Instagram, hoping maybe she'd be able to help me out, but didn't want to get my hopes up. She was only able to coordinate a pick-up order, which was totally fine and understandable considering it was super last minute, but the quality of her work was incredible and she truly went above and beyond to make my last minute floral arrangements feel planned and intentional! Carlee was super kind and helpful and she has a true gift for making things look beautiful. My only regret was not finding her sooner and hiring her to come on-site the day of!

    Would definitely recommend, 100%!

    We just wrapped up our wedding with Carlee and she was an absolute joy to work with. She nailed the exact style we were going for after just one meeting. She tackled a very large and challenging arbor installation and we could not have been happier with how it turned out. The bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony flowers, reception flowers -- everything was beautiful and perfectly executed in terms of the color palette and the urban/rustic style that we had asked for. Carlee was also very responsive and easy-going and we enjoyed all of our interactions with her. Would definitely recommend, 100%!

    Carlee and here team made magic on our wedding day

    First off, Carlee is literally just the sweetest and coolest person. She is thoughtful, able to translate our vision (no matter how vague) into a reality better than we could imagine and is so flexible. We had many last minute changes due to several guests not being able to make it and she was able to repurpose some of our florals to other parts of our wedding.

    All of the florals were just stunning. We had such a MAGICAL day. I was completely blown away by our circular arch especially. I nearly screamed when I saw it!

    We are so grateful for Carlee's kindness, professionalism and passion for her work and clients. I would recommend her and her team to everyone and anyone!

    Highly recommend working with Rusted Vase - Carlee is creative, professional, and made my flower dreams come true!

    Carlee was so professional and helpful throughout my wedding planning process. From our first meet and greet, she was warm and welcoming and helped turn a few Pinterest board ideas into the most beautiful floral designs. She worked with my budget, suggesting the most bang-for-my-buck flowers in season (Lucky me May has a lot of options) and I ended up with the most stunning, modern and minimalist bud vase center pieces.

    My favorite part of working with Carlee was that she is so passionate about her craft. I gave her a few buzz words and pictures and she created me the most stunning bridal bouquet. She is really thoughtful and wildly creative - I highly recommend working with her and her team!

    Super talented and very professional

    We are so happy we hired Carlee to handle the flowers for our wedding!! She was incredibly easy to work with -- we started with an initial phone call where I described the vibe we were going for. She was familiar with our venue and offered a couple professional suggestions that would be more secure and more easily adjusted in case of winds or rain (which is always a concern when you get married outdoors in WA!). After that phone call, she put together a detailed proposal complete with picture examples of what we'd discussed, and then I didn't have to think about flowers again until a month before the wedding when she reached out to make sure everything was still accurate. When you're deep in the throes of wedding planning and coordinating, having vendors who are professional and self-accountable are worth their weight in gold.
    And finally - the arrangements she put together were absolutely beautiful! My bouquet smelled amazing (I kept getting whiffs as we were taking pictures), and all the various arrangements were perfectly coordinated without being identical. She even went above and beyond on the table decorations -- I'd asked for garland and tea lights, and she tucked some extra flowers into the greenery for a little extra burst of color :)
    In short - Carlee is incredible at what she does, and made my life easier. If I ever have another large event to plan, she'll be at the top of my list.

    Rusted Vase is the best!

    Carlee was fantastic to work with! From beginning to end, she made me feel like my wedding was a top priority. From her creativity to design an absolutely AMAZING bridal bouquet (seriously the most gorgeous combination of flowers I've ever seen), to great experience within the industry which allowed her to give me personal advice on florals, and her infectious positivity, Carlee was a pleasure to work with. She helped make my wedding the best day ever! She truly has such a creative eye, and my favorite part was giving her a color palate and a few pictures of what I like and she ran with it. I loved the natural and northwest vibe that fit my venue as well as me and my spouse. I could not recommend a better florist!

    Carlee is magic

    My husband and I got married this past June 30th at Robinswood House in Bellevue. We can’t say enough awesome things about Carlee at Rusted Vase!!!! We first met Carlee in November to talk about the types of arrangements we were looking for. We really wanted the arrangements to have some architectural elements in which the flowers would take on a life of their own. She tailored our boutonnieres to our individual tastes, while still complementing one another. She incorporated rosemary and unripe blueberries into the arrangements, delighting everyone. We also rented a huppah stand from her. It was beautiful, made from birch, and was very stable. It added a great and unexpected element to the wedding. Carlee brought her sister as an assistant on our wedding day and they were a great team. All of the flowers were fresh were used to build centerpieces to suit each table. She was really efficient!! All of the flowers were at the peak of freshness and added a great touch of color to our home for several days after the ceremony. I would get married again just to have Carlee do the flowers.

    Couldn't have chosen a better company to work with

    Carlee was an absolute dream to work with. We told her that we really only had a few flowers and ideas in mind but wanted her to let the creative freedom flow. She did that and more, we were so surprised to find that she had turned our venue into something intimate and sentimental. She made sure to keep us in the loop for the most part but I'm glad everything was still a surprise. She voiced her professional opinion on what might be best for the space and she nailed it! She is someone who can take any ingredients and make an incredible outcome. If you are comfortable with it and want someone who will take the reigns on your florals then she is the person. She is able to keep the wild and unkept nature of the world and make it something unforgettable. She took our ideas and ran wild with them in the best way possible. I could not have asked for a better person to trust with such a special day.

    Breathtaking floral

    I hired Rusted Vase Floral for our destination wedding at Disneyland Resort in California. From day one I felt like Carlee really understood my vision and was excited to work with me. She used her knowledge and expertise in deciding what floral would be purchased in Seattle and brought down and what could be gotten in the area we were married. This ensured we had very special, hard to find, extra large tropical foliage for our venue space.
    She is a gifted artist and we received so many compliments about our bouquets (9 in total!) and the floral that decorated our reception space.
    I also hired Carlee to assemble my personal decor in our reception space which she added floral enhancements to. This made our day run so smoothly because we didn't have to worry about setting up or breaking down our decor before or after the reception.
    I would definitely recommend working with Rusted Vase for your event. She makes wild, romantic, and gorgeous floral art and will bring your vision to life!

    Making my dream day into a magical day!

    I searched so long for a florist and passed up so many people because I really had something different and out of the box and pretty difficult and I just could not find anyone who could pull off what I was looking for until I was introduced to this amazing women! My wedding planner recommended her as she’s worked together with her and knows her and how awesome her work is ! And thank god! Not only did she pull off one of the most epic arches ever! She new exactly my vision without even me going into to much detail, it’s like she could read my mind! Her work is very outside the box and organic which is exactly what I needed and her attitude towards doing something creative and different was amazing ! Most places just want to do the same old thing and be traditional and boring and have limits but not her! She was allllll for my weird ideas and she turned them into masterpieces ! Not only did she give 200% of her hard work and love into my floral arrangements and arche but she even helped decorate and helped out with the day of stuff also! Which I am beyond grateful for ! She brought extra hands which was soooo amazing because between her and her help and our wedding planner and her extra help she brought, everything went so smoothly and looked beyond magical! I mean it was a real like fairytale ! Something out of Robin Hood ! I wasn’t even sure the crazy ideas in my head could be created but they all made it happen somehow ! And even better than what I could have imagined ! And the best benefit of choosing her was that I got a new amazing friend out of it! She’s one of the sweetest humans I know and I am honored that I could add her to my group of family ! It really was remarkable how amazing everyone was who I booked for things because I got to see how much love they really put into their work and art and that made my day so much more special ! She just really blew me away !

    Floral design

    I really enjoyed working with Carlee to make our wedding day as beautiful as can be. From our first conversation our styles really aligned. As someone who has never planned anything that needed floral design, I didn’t know exactly the words to use to describe my ideas and vision but Carlee was able to interrupt my lack of proper vocabulary and create a dream wedding. She also was very understanding of any last minute additions. She is so sweet and made a special trip to the house we were getting ready at to delivery the bouquets and boutonnières for our pictures. She even converted my husband to understand that flowers are so worth it! Would highly recommend her for any floral needs!

    Drop-Dead Gorgeous Florals

    Carlee was beyond wonderful -- we were so happy that our wedding planner recommended Rusted Vase Co. Carlee designed our bouquets, ceremony flowers, and table arrangements and everything was absolutely stunning. We received countless compliments on our flowers and would recommend Carlee to any couple. In addition to an amazing florist, she is an amazing person, and we are so glad to have worked with her!

    Wonderful experience- Highly recommend!

    We were so happy we found Rusted Vase! Based off a recommendation from our wedding planner (Holly-Kate & Co.) we instantly clicked with the owner, Carlee. She understood our style right off the bat and often would finish our sentences! She just got it! Carlee even went above and beyond and met us at our venue to talk through the vision, something that my parents and I really appreciated. I knew after our first meeting we were in great hands. It was so fun to watch everything come to life day of. Carlee helped make our wedding day unforgettable and we can’t recommend her enough.

    I found Carlee on Instagram just a few months before my wedding. I was initially going to have one of my bridesmaids do my flowers, but came to realize that wouldn't have been the best idea, considering how she had to commit to well, bridesmaid duties. :)

    What attracted my now, husband, and I to Carlee's work was her ability to make flowers look like true works of art. Her attention to detail, ability to use color, and a wide range of textures really wowed us. As a wedding vendor myself, I felt like I had high expectations, and also a very specific look in mind (asymmetrical, airy, beachy, unique, and only white + green).

    Carlee really nailed our floral look, and we got nothing but compliments from our guests. After the wedding a few of my other vendors posted my bouquet on Instagram, and we received even more compliments on there! I was thrilled to be receiving so much love, but at the same time, I wasn't surprised, because Carlee definitely went above and beyond. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Maybe for a vowel renewal in the coming years!

    Carlee’s work is absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I love bright colors so we just asked her to make our wedding “bright” and she ran with it in gorgeous arrangements. We got piles of compliments about the flowers at our wedding and they completed our look perfectly. She also did a wonderful job of helping us be as economical as possible (reusing arrangements for reception and ceremony) and went above and beyond with helping us source a custom photo booth backdrop. She is wonderfully creative and a joy to work with. I just wish I could have her arrangements in my life every day!

    Rusted Vase provided the flowers for my daughter's Seattle wedding on 3/24/18. We couldn't have been happier with every aspect of the service and products provided. The flowers were absolutely beautiful! Carlee had great suggestions, but she also did a wonderful job listening to my daughter's ideas and wishes, and made them a reality. Everything from the bouquets to boutonnières to centerpieces was absolutely perfect. Carlee was flexible, professional, and very creative. She was timely with the pre-ceremony set up, and returned at 11:00 p.m. for clean-up/pick-up as scheduled. I highly recommend Rusted Vase and would not hesitate to use them again. We were just delighted from start to finish.

    Carlee did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding flowers! I couldn’t have been more thrilled. They fit our vision perfectly, and she even managed to get peonies (something I had always dreamed of having) added into the bouquets when they weren’t really in season. In addition, she was so attentive, sweet, and fun to work with! I couldn’t believe how lucky we were to have gotten her as our wedding florist.

    Carlee was truly fantastic with designing the floral arrangements for our wedding. I gave her a vague description of what I was envisioning and she knew exactly what to do! She was quick to respond to all of my inquiries and VERY patient with my requests and changes. All of our floral arrangements looked stunning, and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful they were. Carlee is very attentive to the little details, and the transportation of our flowers from Seattle to Orcas Island was incredible - they arrived in perfect condition! We were very lucky to book Rusted Vase for our wedding and we'll definitely book again for any future floral needs.

    I highly recommend Rusted Vase. The owner Carlee is really easy to work with and very helpful. Some things that really impressed me:
    - Very responsive. From the inquiry email to the day before the wedding SOS email, Carlee always responded promptly and thoroughly. In fact, I spent more on florals than I expected because Carlee was so responsive that she became my go-to girl whenever I had a design challenge I needed addressed.
    - Budget optimization. Carlee was very upfront about maximizing spending and impact. For example, when I wanted an expensive hanging floral installation to cover an unsightly area, Carlee met me at my venue to get a better understanding of the issue and offered an alternative idea that was half the price but achieved the same goal.
    - Execution. The flowers and greens were gorgeous, fresh, and my vision was perfectly executed. Also, Carlee used herbs in the bouquets, which meant that they emitted a pleasant botanical scent the whole evening--really unexpected and cool.

    Carlee of Rusted Vase Co. was amazing to work with. Not only was she extremely professional and responsive, but she added that extra special touch to show she really cared. When we met for coffee to brainstorm and go over planning it felt like I was just hanging out with a new friend, for real! Besides that she is absolutely talented in her floral arrangements, of course ;) I could not get enough of the details she put in to make sure everything was on point and special. From the gorgeous head table (seriously my exact vision, to life!) to the stunning bouquets and center pieces, to the arbor and cake display - it was all a dream and I have Carlee to thank for sharing her talent with me for my wedding! I will definitely call Carlee for any floral needs in the future, and recommend her to all of my friends. Can we do it all again?!

    Carlee puts such thought and love into everything she does. You can see the quality and care with the work she puts out - gorgeous weddings with personality that perfectly reflect the bride and groom. But now I have also seen this firsthand in her workshops! She gives so much attention to make sure you are immersed in the experience right along with her, seeing how you can enhance your own life with natural beauty. Just add flowers!

    Rusted Vase Co hosted a wonderful workshop in Seattle. She provided great perspective and insight into arranging centerpieces and floral crowns. She had an amazing selection of seasonal and local flowers for the class to choose from. The workshop was a fun and collaborative environment that allowed each of us to create unique floral designs. Highly recommend working with her for events and workshops!

    I recently attended Carlee's first floral workshop, after having ordered a center piece from her recently for an event I was hosting at my home. I hope everyone has the opportunity to learn and work with Carlee. I highly recommend her for weddings, events, and even at home floral designs. She's responsive and very detail oriented. Plus, she sources locally!

    I can't wait to order from her again this holiday season!

    Our wedding took place in my uncles backyard overlooking the Olympic Mountains - the view was incredible and I was SO excited to say "I Do" in a place that was so special my husband and I!

    I say this because when I first sat down with Carlee, my venue was literally the only detail I could give her in terms of my progress in planning our wedding. What kind of bride meets with her florist having absolutely no idea what type of flowers she wants, no colors picked out, a no vision for what she wants her wedding to look like?! Embarrassingly, that's me (Sorry Car!)

    But you know what - that's exactly why Carlee is the best Flower Lady in Seattle, and someone I will continue to recommend until my last friend has a ring on their finger. She sat with me for hours looking at pictures of my uncle's backyard, scrolling through my measly two Pinterest pins, and talking about the countless possibilities that she was envisioning for my day. By the end of the night I was on cloud nine. She got me excited about flowers because SHE was excited about flowers! There are a million things I could say about Carlee and the absolute pleasure it was working with her - but my absolute favorite thing is this lovely human LOVES her job and she's really dang good at it!

    The insanely colorful bouquets, the feather boutonnieres, the driftwood centerpieces, the beautiful addition to our arbor, and the endless perfect details were everything I never knew I wanted. I look at my wedding photos now and I am still left speechless. She's fun, she's professional, she's wildly creative - and her dedication to her craft is beyond inspiring! It's an understatement to say I will be thanking her for a lifetime for her talents!

    So much love to you Carlee, thank you!!

It was very easy working with her with helping her create my vision. A bonus: she sources local vendors for her flowers and everything was fresh and gorgeous upon the wedding day. You won't regret it!

    Carlee is an amazing florist and worked hand in hand with us and our wedding planner to translate our vision of a fairy tale wedding into a reality. She is open and accessible and made sure that every single detail of the day was perfect from A to Z. The flower bouquets and flower crowns she made were absolutely gorgeous! We would highly recommend her!

    Carlee was so great and easy to work with. I only showed her a few pictures of what I had in mind for our colorful garden wedding, then trusted her to use her creative vision to make it all come together. The flowers were my favorite part of the day and looked more beautiful than we could of envisioned. Carlee does an amazing job and truly has a vision for this! She puts you at such ease and does everything she can to see her clients happy!

    Carlee was AMAZING! She was so friendly and easy to talk to; I felt like I was talking with one of my friends! I showed her a couple photos of what I liked and she blew me away with what she came up with. It was like she read my mind. I have no doubt that Carlee helped my wedding day be unforgettable for me and my guests. I would recommend Carlee to anyone for any flower needs!

    Carlee's work is incredible. I remember when I first started envisioning what our wedding would look like: soft lights, bright colors, amazing dance music and flowers...gorgeous, beautiful flowers. John Lennon has said, "Love is the flower you've got to let grow." My take is that flowers are the love that you've got to let grow. Carlee's work at our wedding was exquisite. The flowers were gorgeous and exactly what I envisioned for the ceremony and the reception. I remember getting ready in the bridal room and getting the chance to walk through the barn before anyone got there. As soon as I saw the floral decorations, I thought to myself: this wedding is already perfect. Thank you, Carlee! Much love, Sheeba & Anay

    Carlee was amazing!! We came in with very flexible ideas about flower choices, but gave her a color palette and a style to run with. We wanted seasonal and local flowers, with a style that was whimsical and vintage (art deco). We asked for many different arrangements (strung flowers and an asymmetrical arrangement for a pergola, table flowers, and aisle flowers). I also had a special request to use a family heirloom (a fabric fan) as the backing for my bridal flowers. Carlee was thoughtful and creative in her flower choices, and kept me involved at each step of the way (with photos, phone calls, and visits!) to help me see what the final products would look like. She was at the wedding day-of to install all of her pieces, and the result was stunning! We couldn't have been more thrilled with her creativity, thoughtfulness, and value. Thank you Carlee!!

    To start off, flowers were not a high priority in our wedding budget (there's a saying that you're supposed to spend 10% of wedding budget on flowers...beyond what I was comfortable with), so when I met with Carlee, I was honest about our budget. She didn't even bat an eyelash! She made it work!

    Carlee and I went through some examples of her past work and Pinterest, and she was able to extract elements of what I was looking for. After our preliminary meeting, she emailed me a spreadsheet a breakdown of costs and examples images of what our bouquets and arrangements would look like so we could refer to it as we were juggling with other wedding planning elements.

    Carlee reached out to us about 3 weeks prior to our wedding to see if we wanted to meet up again and review any details. She even offered to lend us a few props to add to our ceremony, it was a very kind gesture and my mom noted the props were a great addition to the alter!

    On day of wedding, Carlee checked in with the bridal party, and was flexible in waiting for our groom & groomsmen to arrive (emergency ER visit had hiccuped our timeline), to help pin their boutonnieres on.

    Carlee is a very talented and creative florist, and she has a cheerful, genuine personality that shines through in her work. We've received tons of compliments from friends and family on the 2 alter arrangements and bouquets on day-of and after our wedding.

    When I was planning my wedding I had no idea what I wanted for flowers. Thankfully Carlee reached out to me out of curiosity and asked if I had a florist yet. She was wonderful! With a few simple questions about color and theme we were able to come up with endless options. She was able to work around my budget no problem and her timing for setting up the day before and the day of the wedding was perfect. All of my flower arrangements and decor stayed fresh for pictures and made my wedding even more beautiful than I could have imagined!

    Soooo dreamy!

    Planning a wedding during a pandemic felt impossible!! I waited on finalizing vendors for the fear of it all being cancelled. I had been following Carlee for a while & knew if I was going to pick a florist, it needed to be her! Time crept up on me as I work in healthcare & the pandemic was all I knew every waking second I had. I panicked when I realized my time was getting close & I had not booked Carlee yet. She responded so quickly & was available for my date. I showed her a couple photos I was drooling over & she made it happen. I loveeeeeeeed my bouquet!!! It was so incredibly dreamy and perfect. So happy she was able to make my bouquet dreams come to life!
