    Can't Recommend Enough!

    Carmen was thoughtful, warm, and did a great job guiding me in the floral process. I was upfront with my mindset of minimal florals- just personals for myself and our bridal party- and Carmen was fully invested in the vision, bringing it to life beautifully. Her communication cadence was reassuring and fit perfectly into our overall planning timeline. She then delivered all the florals day of smoothly. The florals themselves turned out gorgeous, I was looking for a winter inspired, greenery heavy, slightly unique feel and Carmen nailed it! Couldn't have been happier. Carmen listened to all my ideas and then brought it to life.

    10-10-25 Wedding

    Carmen and her team were incredible! They brought my vision to life and went above and beyond to execute it! I was blown away by my bouquet and how perfectly it matched the color palette I was inspired by! Carmen helped take my idea to life better than I ever could have imagined! Her rental inventory is also vast and she makes it so easy with offering set up and take down so you have less stress on you and your family that day! I highly recommend using The Cutting Garden for your wedding!

    Perfect Wedding Flowers

    Carmen did a wonderful job bringing my inspiration pictures to life for my wedding. She was great to work with and you could tell she really cared about making everything perfect for us. She was affordable and flexible to make things work for our situation which was a bit untraditional.

    Perfect Wedding Flowers

    I absolutely loved how our wedding flowers turned out. The toss bouquet, bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, arch flowers, cake flowers, corsages for the moms and boutonnières for the men turned out beautifully!

    Wedding day florals

    Carmen was wonderful to work with for our wedding day florals! Her attention to detail is incredible, and she herself is a joy as well. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of knowledge in the floral department, she was able to guide me and provide suggestions to get to a design that I absolutely loved!! Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone.

    The Cutting Garden is the best of the best!

    I am so very grateful that we chose The Cutting Garden for our wedding day! Carmen the owner is the sweetest, very responsive, creative, and brought my entire vision to life! She completely nailed my vision of our floral installation of hanging loose stem flowers above our head table. She was so much fun to work with and I cannot recommend a better florist! If you choose The Cutting Garden you will see all your wedding day floral dreams come to life!

    Gorgeous Flowers!

    Carmen was our florist for our July 2025 wedding, and we were so happy with the incredible work she and her team at the Cutting Garden did to bring our vision to life. From the first call we had with her, she listened closely to our high-level vision and added an expert touch to elevate every detail. Carmen’s creativity and deep understanding of floral design helped tie everything together in the most beautiful way. Every arrangement—from the bouquets to the ceremony arch to the reception centerpieces—were thoughtfully curated and flawlessly executed. The interplay of colors, textures, movement, and blooms were exactly what we had imagined, and somehow even better. If you’re looking for a florist who combines artistry with heart and precision, look no further!

    Amazing Experience!

    Carmen was fantastic to work with throughout our entire wedding planning - she was incredibly responsive and flexible, even as I changed my mind numerous times on a color palette! The end product was even better than I had dreamed! The bouquets, flower arch, and table decor were dreamy and gorgeous!! My guests could not stop complimenting the gorgeous flowers and candle table arrangements! I would recommend Carmen over and over again!

    Thoughtful, responsive, skilled florist

    We worked with Carmen at The Cutting Garden for our wedding this past summer and were so happy with the results. Carmen thoughtfully listened to my vision and reviewed my mood board / inspiration photos and crafted a proposal based on that. One of the best things is that she had a wide selection of beautiful decor (candlesticks, table signage, runners etc) to choose from so we ended up using her for that too - so nice to not have to go through another vendor for those things. We got so many compliments on the floral from my wedding guests. Would definitely recommend.

    The best in the business!

    We had an amazing experience working with Carmen for our wedding. Carmen was incredibly easy to work with, and her experience in the industry really showed. Her creativity and great ideas truly brought my vision to life, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The ability to rent decor from Carmen also made the process so much easier and stress-free. In a business full of vendors, Carmen stands out. She is trustworthy and will make your day beyond beautiful. Her team is efficient and great to work with. I highly recommend the Cutting Garden for any special occasion! I absolutely plan to use her in the future for other events as well!

    A Dream to Work With

    Working with Carmen was a dream! She is flexible so meeting with her for pre wedding meetings was so easy! I am someone who is not great at design or vision and she offered wonderful ideas to help create a beautiful day! The set up and tear down process was so smooth! The day of our wedding there was possible rain and she offered to come back to set up later in the day once we knew where the ceremony would be held! She is so kind, accommodating and truly cares about making each clients day seamless and beautiful! I would absolutely work with her again!

    Best Experience Ever !!!

    Carmen & her team made our dreams come true, I was so confused with what style or where to start...she sat down with us and got to know us and gave us a beautiful vision. All the bouquets were stunning and our flowers on the arch were so much more beautiful and full than any other florist I checked out. An amazing value .. worth every penny!

    Best decision

    Carmen was the first vendor we booked after booking our venue, and for good reason! Not only is she an amazingly talented florist, but she is also the sweetest most calming soul to work with.
    She took my vision for my wedding and completely brought it to life.
    Every person at my wedding kept coming up to me and telling me the florals were so beautiful and was the most beautiful wedding they have been to and I owe it all to Carmen.
    HIRE HER! I promise you won't regret it!
    I am so happy to have gotten to work with Carmen and would recommend her again and again to anyone!!

    Incredible!!!

    Oh my goodness where do I even begin?! Carmen came highly recommended to me and for good reason! Not only is she an INSANELY talented florist, she is also just a JOY to talk to and work with.
    She took my floral vision for my wedding and brought it to life, completely blowing my expectations out of the water. Her and her team came in on wedding day and immediately I felt at ease. They set everything up SO fast, and then came back and tore everything down at the end of the night - you could tell this wasn’t their first rodeo.
    I am so happy to have gotten to work with Carmen and would recommend her again and again to anyone!!

    Beautiful flowers!

    Carmen is awesome! We met with her multiple times and was willing to change my quote multiple times when I couldn't quite make up my mind. She was so knowledgeable not just about the florals, but about my venue and which things would look good where. She made some suggestions I hadn't considered and ended up loving! Carmen was so responsive and worked with what I wanted. The flowers were BEAUTIFUL! We went with the pocket boutonnieres which were a hit - our coordinator said she is going to recommend them to all of her clients moving forward. Could not recommend Carmen and her team enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    10/10 Recommend The Cutting Garden!!!

    My husband and I hired Carmen and The Cutting Garden as our florist for our wedding this past September. From our very first meeting with Carmen right down to wedding day, we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Carmen was professional, knowledgable, responsive and so very kind. We enjoyed working with her very much. Carmen does BEAUTIFUL work and it is evident she doesn’t spare any details. She had recommendations for us as to how to make our $$ go the furthest as far as making certain pieces detachable and reusable. My bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets were even more perfect than I had imagined. The centerpieces stole the show during our dinner and reception. I would 10/10 recommend Carmen to anybody getting married who wants to be blown away by the beauty and QUALITY of Carmen and team’s work. Thank you so much for making our day extra special!

    Gorgeous wedding flowers

    If florals are important to you and you want absolutely jaw-dropping arrangements, we highly recommend the Cutting Garden. We hired Carmen to do our wedding flowers and she knocked it out of the park. We got married at Como Conservatory, so there were already plenty of flowers around, but the florals we received were even more stunning than anything else around us. We shared our floral vision with her and she completely amazed us. Highly recommend for wedding florals.

    Truly a work of art! We’re so glad we went with Carmen!

    Our wedding day was beautiful, and the flowers from The Cutting Garden LLC were a big part of that. Carmen, the owner and lead designer, was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She had a keen eye for detail, an upbeat attitude, and a love for her profession that was evident in every step of the process.

    We met with Carmen multiple times to discuss our vision for the flowers, and she was always willing to accommodate our requests. She also offered helpful suggestions and advice, and we felt confident that she understood our vision. Carmen has a way of making you feel comfortable as if you’ve known her for your entire life.

    On the day of the wedding, the flowers were even more stunning than we had imagined. They were perfectly arranged and beautifully presented, and they added a touch of elegance to our special day. She NAILED it!

    We were also impressed with the competitive prices offered by The Cutting Garden LLC. Carmen explained that she is able to offer lower prices because she operates her business without a fancy storefront which comes with reduced overhead.

    If you are looking for wedding flowers, we highly recommend The Cutting Garden LLC. Carmen and her team are truly talented, and they will work with you to create the perfect flowers for your special day.

    Carmen was our favorite vendor to work with and we continue to get compliments from our guests about how amazing our floral arrangements were.

    Carmen not only offers amazing floral arrangements, but has a wide variety of rental items from arches, charger plates, lanterns, table numbers etc.

    Neutral Floral

    Carmen is the best! From the very start, she was super easy to communicate with, and so helpful. She listened to our vision, and then made perfect suggestions to fit the aesthetic, as well as the budget! We had a good mix of flowers and greenery / a greenery install, and Carmen did an absolutely amazing job! We couldn't be happier with the way it all turned out, and I found it to be a major bonus that Carmen was able to pick up my bouquet at the end of the night, and take it back to be pressed and framed. Couldn't recommend working with Carmen enough!

    What Floral Dreams Are Made Of!!!

    Carmen at The Cutting Garden was an absolute dream to work with! I cannot recommend her enough. She totally customized everything to fit our style and our look to make our Hollywood glam wedding a reality. From the lush white floral bouquets, to a gorgeous ceiling install with disco balls above our dance floor that was to die for and beautiful floral arches for our ceremony and everything in between. It was so helpful that she also had furniture rental so we didn't have to use another vendor for that. It made it so much easier on us! Carmen made the planning process easy, fun, and seamless. She is so timely, professional and just amazingly talented at what she does. She and her crew worked so hard to make everything absolutely perfect. It was better than we could have ever imagined. Our floral dreams come true! Thank you Carmen! Our wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful without you! Highly recommend to all brides!

    Great experience!

    Carmen was so great to work with - she is so sweet and friendly, plus amazing at what she does! During our first meeting, Carmen not only listened to my thoughts about what I wanted for our wedding florals, but gave great recommendations for options to make the decor even more beautiful. She was responsive to all my questions and was so patient with me and my indecisiveness throughout the process. She was very thorough in making sure everything was accounted for and that it aligned with what I was envisioning. Everything turned out gorgeous, from our table arrangements to the bouquets/boutonnieres, and was even better than I had imagined! Not to mention she and her team did a great job of delivery and set up the day of the wedding, which was a huge help. I highly recommend working with her!

    Carmen was AMAZING! She made all of my visions come to life better than I could even imagine! She was so quick to respond and always willing to meet!

    Everything about our florals were perfect! Carmen had a ton of floral settings throughout our venue and killed it with every pampas arch and head table overhang. Would choose her over and over again!

    Carmen is incredible!!!!

    Carmen was absolutely incredible to work with and my flowers were just beautiful and better than I could have ever imagined! Carmen is such a caring, creative and knowledgeable florist and it was just such an amazing experience with her from our initial meeting to the day of the wedding. She does such an amazing job at listening to your thoughts and ideas and really works with you to create the perfect floral design. We received numerous compliments from our guests about how beautiful the flowers were from the bouquets, boutonnieres and table decor. We also had a moon arc with greenery and floral behind us at our ceremony and utilized it behind our head table at the reception that we just loved! Everything was just absolutely stunning and Carmen and her team did such a great job on the wedding day getting everything in place and working with my coordinator and other vendors. Overall Carmen went above and beyond with everything and I will recommend her to anyone that I know!

    Carmen and team are fabulous!

    Working with the Cutting Garden team was a great experience. During the initial consultation, Carmen listened intently to what I envisioned for my wedding while also providing ideas on how to make the day even more beautiful. After booking, Carmen was responsive to all questions (regardless of what they were) promptly. During our final design meeting, Carmen reviewed everything with us to ensure our vision hadn't changed and to make sure she didn't miss anything.

    On the day of our wedding, her team came in and quickly got everything set up and then was out of the way so other vendors could do what they needed. They also arrived promptly to tear down all of the items and clean up making things super easy.

    The florals turned out exactly as I was expecting and Carmen truly understood my vision for the day. I'd highly recommend working with her!

    The most amazing flowers!

    Carmen brought my vision to life. Our flowers are STILL being talked about - I wanted her to use her creativity and she delivered something extraordinary. My bouquet was stunning! She was also able to repurpose our ceremony decor in the reception area. The communication was awesome - she was so responsive, open to feedback, and SO reasonably priced. I can't wait to work with her again for another event!

    Brings your vision to life!

    Carmen was a delight to work with, she has fantastic energy and is amazing at converting your "Pinterest photo dream board" into a reality! She absolutely knocked it out of the park for our wedding, the flowers were so stunning people were elbowing each other out to get the chance to take them home at the end of the night. The Cutting Garden offers many different rental options as well, we rented sofas and special wicker high-back chairs for a cute little seating area indoors. She also had a variety of table runner colors and candles/hurricanes to choose from, great selection! It's too bad weddings only happen once in a lifetime because I would definitely hire Carmen again :)

    Carmen is not only so wonderful to work with, but she has the most beautiful vision! She perfectly captured everything we wanted our day to be in her floral arrangements, decor set-up, and vintage furniture. She was so flexible and easy to work with, which helped with me being an out of state bride. We enjoyed every minutes working with her and are beyond grateful for everything Carmen did to make our day so special!! We look forward to working with her again for any future events! Carmen is the best of the best!!

    AMAZING - Highly recommend!

    Carmen was absolutely amazing! I do not know much about flowers and my husband does not like the smell of flowers, but we both LOVED the arrangements that Carmen designed. The bouquets and boutonnieres were perfect - simple and timeless using a mix of ivory floral and eucalyptus leaves and greenery. She also suggested and made the most adorable flower wand for our flower girl. Along with the bridal party floral, she made our centerpieces using local growlers we collected, our ceremony arbor arrangement, and a 20ft head table arrangement.

    Communication was timely and easy. She provided a vision board and the vison and your ideas to life. We are so grateful for Carmen and all of her work. Highly recommend!

    Best Wedding Florist in the Twin Cities!!

    I cannot recommend Carmen Carter and The Cutting Garden enough!! Our daughter got married at Hope Glen Farms in Cottage Grove, MN. We interviewed several florists and Carmen stood out without question. Our initial consultation was through a zoom call and she was a breath of fresh air to work with…so calm and sweet. It was evident right away that she was the most experienced, customer focused, and we loved that she had so many unique ideas. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and treated our daughters wedding day as if it was her own. Working with Carmen was one of the highlights of our wedding planning. We gave her a vision and a modest budget and let her run with it because we felt so confident in her choices. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Fast forward to the wedding day…Carmen was the first one at the venue turning this already beautiful venue into a sight like I had never seen. When I walked into the reception hall she had transformed the space into a complete fairytale. I was literally brought to tears as I was so overwhelmed. What she created was simply magical and we were all in awe. Then I walked to the outdoor pasture and was even more impressed. She even included a cross full of roses on the remembrance table for our loved ones that had recently passed away which was beyond touching. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I don't think there was one guest that did not comment on her work. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

    You can go online and see her work at almost every venue in the Twin Cities. Most have her work up in their advertisements and marketing pieces. She has the ability to transform any venue into a fairytale wedding simply with her vision and floral expertise and I would be happy to share our photos so you can see them for yourself.

    Best decision ever!

    Hiring Carmen was one of the best decision we made for our wedding!!! The second she brought in the florals the morning of our wedding I couldn't stop talking about how much I loved them. I would go up to everyone and ask if they had seen the bouquets yet because they were so stunning!! She literally made my Pinterest board come to life and all of the florals were everything I wanted and more. She really listened to everything we wanted and executed it perfectly. We also rented her wooden backdrop for behind our head table and it added so much to the space! I love how her and her team were in charge of the set up and tear down of florals/rented items so it was one less thing that we had to worry about. Highly highly recommend The Cutting Garden!

    Carmen was over the top a professional! She helped us to make our daughters vision come to life.

    Carmen was excellent to work with! Due to COvID, our daughter’s wedding had to be rescheduled 3 times. It turned out that we had to have it on a Sunday. At every conversation, Carmen was quick to respond and accommodated every reschedule. I cried when so saw the flowers, bouquets, arch, centerpieces for the first time. Lovely❣️❣️❣️
    She is an artist. She was so wonderful to work with. Even the guests commented on the colors she picked, the quality, and her creativity. I don’t have any pics of the flowers yet. Thanks Carmen❣️❣️❣️

    Better than Imagined!

    Carmen is absolutely AMAZING. I was very nervous about how our flowers would turn out since I don't know anything about the subject, but she walked us through everything. I showed her a photo and she gave us options & ideas for how to achieve our "look". When I saw our flowers on our wedding day (specifically our floral arch for our ceremony) I was speechless! She made our day even more beautiful than we imagined:)

    Beautiful Flowers and Amazing Service!

    Carmen made my experience super easy and was really easy to work with. She was responsive to my emails, helped me decide what I wanted, and helped me to come up with a vision that made my wedding extra special. I know nothing about flowers and that worried me a bit but she was super helpful and knowledgeable and was able to help me figured out what needed/wanted. She's really professional and knows her business. I would highly recommend working with Carmen (The Cutting Garden)

    Absolute perfection!

    Hiring Carmen was one of the best vendor decisions I made for my wedding day! From my first initial meeting with her, I knew that she would be perfect to execute the vision I had for my florals and décor. She is so thoughtful and caring and took the time to listen to exactly what I had in mind. On the day of our wedding, I could not believe how it was beautifully executed to perfection. She helped us stay in budget while also making sure that everything was exactly how I had described to her and shared in inspirational photos. You will not regret hiring The Cutting Garden for your wedding! Carmen is absolutely amazing and I’m so glad that I got the opportunity to work with her.

    Dreams do come true!

    Carmen helped make our day a fairytale! She was the absolute sweetest person to work with and by far by favorite vendor just to talk to. I went it not knowing what I wanted with barely a skeleton of ideas, and she delivered more than I ever could have imagined. Will forever recommend her!!

    Best florist ever!!

    First of all, Carmen was so kind and nice to work with. She listened to everything I said and the result was 1000 times better than I imagined! My jaw was on the floor when I came in and saw the table decor, in particular the floral centerpiece she created for my head table. I received so many compliments on the bouquet, the arch flowers, and the centerpieces-- many people told me mine was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to and I credit Carmen with so much of this! She is very talented and I am so glad we found her.

    Amazing Experience with The Cutting Garden

    We cannot say enough good things about The Cutting Garden! Carmen was incredible to work with. So very talented, flexible when we had to change our wedding venue due to COVID-19 and also very affordable for the quality and beauty of the flowers. If you are looking for a florist for wedding planning, I highly recommend Carmen and The Cutting Garden.

    Stunning florals, excellent service!

    Carmen and The Cutting Garden provided us with stunning bouquets and table decorations for our wedding day and we could not be more pleased! Carmen was able to take my "vision" and execute it perfectly without me even needing to lift a finger! She was thoughtful, listened so carefully to my floral wishes, and was so easy to contact and communicate with! Our flowers were easily one of my favorite parts of our wedding day!

    Carmen brought my vision to LIFE

    Carmen is the best! I knew exactly what I wanted, but it was just a picture in my mind. I had no idea what the flowers are called or what the seasonality is. She had several conversations with me to help nail down what I wanted on my day. She did all of the bridal party florals and beautiful, dark-moody arrangements for our centerpieces. My vision came to life and it added so much drama and beauty to our venue! I was so excited to finally meet her on the wedding day. Thank you, Carmen!

    So happy!!

    Carmen was a saint to work with while planning a wedding during COVID. She was able to pivot seamlessly with every change of plan. We changed our venue last minute and with that, I needed a lot of guidance from Carmen for ideas. I sent Carmen a few pictures of our new plans and she completely blew us away with the bouquets, table settings, and arrangements for the fireplace we were getting married in front of. So happy with her work, communication, and creativity! Couldn't recommend enough!

    10/10 I would recommend Carmen!
    Carmen is punctual, kind, organized, flexible, and EXTREMELY talented. I communicated our vision to her and she was able to make it come to life! In fact, I screenshotted a photo from Insta to share it with her as my "inspo" and only to realize it was from her page. She is truly talented and loves what she does.

    Best florist in the metro!

    Carmen went above and beyond to make our floral arrangements and overall wedding aesthetic spectacular! Her decades of experience in floral are unmatched. In our first consultation I knew that she would flawlessly execute on our vision and worked within our budget to make cost effective (but beautiful) arrangements. She is meticulously organized and made sure that all ideas discussed came to life. I could not recommend her more!

    Beautiful!

    Carmen was amazing to work with! From day one she could see our vision and brought it to life. She did it all from wine barrel arrangements, centerpieces, and our sweetheart table--it was all gorgeous! The added bonus of having her and her team set up and tear down made it a breeze at the end of the night, no other way to do it!

    Amazing florist!

    Not only is Carmen an amazing person, but her work is absolutely beautiful. Floral was the one thing I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but I had somewhat of a vision. Carmen was able to take my vision and turn it into a reality. Everything from the arrangements, the floral for the ceremony and reception were absolutely beautiful and everything I could have ever imagined. Truly amazing!!

    Knowledgable & Great Value

    Carmen knows her stuff. From the first meeting I had with her she was kind and professional and helped my fiance and I work with the budget we had. One of the things that stood out to me was that she did not try and upsell us, but she genuinely helped us not to overspend and to still have wonderful flowers. When on wedding day there were a few flowers I didn't love, Carmen took them out of my bouquet and changed them on the spot. We received many compliments on how beautiful the flowers were, and I would highly recommend Carmen.

    Best florist ever!

    The Cutting Garden is AMAZING! I was obsessed with our flowers - they were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Carmen is the ideal wedding vendor. She does an amazing job, is friendly, responsive, and willing to work with your budget. We had a last minute change in plans for our flowers and Carmen was willing to take us on 2 months in advance.

    Best florist in the twin cities!

    From the first time we met Carmen, we knew she'd do an amazing job for us. She's a super cool person and was able to make my vision come true, what more could you ask for!! She's very detailed with her notes and makes whatever you want actually happen on your special day. She's also upfront about the costs of different floral arrangements so you get the best bang for your buck. I highly recommend booking the cutting garden as your florist!

It’s so nice working with people are super friendly and wanting to relieve your worries through this huge process and Carmen is just that person!

    100% Recommend!

    Carmen was a dream to work with! We came to her without much direction other than colors we wanted to include and she ran with it. She created the most beautiful bouquets for myself, 6 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls. We also rented our centerpieces from her (cylinder vases, white candles and placed greenery) and they looked exactly how I was envisioning. She was so professional and had everything set up for the wedding so quickly on the day of! The thing that really blew me away was the hanging floral/greenery install that she created as our backdrop for the ceremony. I gave her a picture as inspiration and she exceeded all of my expectations when I saw it on the wedding day! We seriously loved it so much! You can really tell that Carmen loves what she does and is passionate about making couples visions come to life. She really takes the time to get to know you and is so easy to talk to. I would 100% recommend booking with Carmen!

    Florals for wedding

    Carmen is AMAZING! We came to her with only a few ideas, and somehow she was able to interpret our floral dreams so perfectly for our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her beautiful arrangements, from the bouquet to the table florals. In addition to having a fantastic design eye, Carmen is so easy to work with (and has the cutest dog Finn, who makes visits with Carmen even better!). Carmen was recommended by our day of coordinator, and we couldn't have made a better choice. BOOK HER!!!!!!

    Carmen was able to take my vision and make it come to life. I wanted wild flowers and I wanted color and she used her creative juices to make the most beautiful arrangements. The flowers were one of my favorite aspects of my wedding! She is supportive, kind, and easy to work with. I highly recommend!!!

    Effortless Experience, Amazing Result!

    We loved the way our flowers turned out for our wedding, and best of all I had to do next to nothing! Carmen was so amazing to work with, and so talented at what she does. I was able to describe my vision for the day and she took it from there. Every thing turned out beautifully and I received many compliments on my flowers and table decor! We had Carmen do floral decor throughout our venue and she did all the setting up herself so we had nothing to worry about day of! I had so much fun working with Carmen and we could not be happier with how the flower turned out on our wedding day! I would definitely recommend booking with her!

    Chloe & Cody Wedding - 06/01/19

    Carmen was such a joy to work with! She is the sweetest lady that I have ever met and am so glad that I chose her to do all of the floral for our wedding! You can really tell that she loves her work and is passionate about what she does. All of our flower arrangements were so amazing and gorgeous!

    Beautiful and professional

    Carmen was an absolute delight to work with. She made it easy to select and order our flowers. The bouquets were stunning. The greenery and candles were simple and perfectly drew the space together. It was more than I could have imagined. We can not recommend Carmen at The Cutting Garden enough.

    Carmen was such a delight to work with, and did an absolutely fantastic job on the floral decor for our wedding on 6/8/18. I spoke with four different florists and after speaking with Carmen, it was one of the easiest decisions I made. I immediately felt like she just "got" me and what I had in mind. I didn't have a super specific vision, just a general idea of an overall look and feel, so I was giving whoever I chose a lot of freedom to make it come to life. I had no doubts about trusting Carmen to do that. She certainly didn't disappoint-the bouquets, corsages, bouts, and decor were spectacular and beyond my expectations! With some things, it's like she read my mind-I love orchids, but didn't mention them in our consults as I figured they would be too pricey. But I get my bouquet on the wedding day, and what is in it? Orchids! The size of the bouquets, even the bridesmaids', were substantial, the moms and special attendants commented on how they loved the bracelets that the corsages were mounted on, and I loved how Carmen brought extra greenery to help give the non-floral decor items just that extra special touch. Her prices are extremely reasonable, as well, so that's a definite plus! I can't thank Carmen enough for her beautiful work, and would highly recommend her to anyone!

    We used The Cutting Garden for our wedding on May 19th 2018. Carmen was absolutely AMAZING to work with and created the MOST BEAUTIFUL display of flowers I've ever seen in my life!! She created our vision through her flowers and I never had to worry if she understood what I wanted or needed. She was always very quick in her communication and was willing to go above and beyond in her services to us. We would highly recommend Carmen and The Cutting Garden to anyone looking to add flowers to any special occasion. She is extremely professional and you can tell she has an extreme passion for what she does by showing that she truly cares about all of her customers. Thank you Carmen!!!
