    Thank you to The Cutting Garden

    Carmen was so fantastic to work with! She was a great communicator, understood our vision from the start, and helped to bring it to life! The flowers and centerpieces were beautiful. We would choose The Cutting Garden again and again.

    The cutting gardens did an amazing job at our wedding. Everything was beyond perfect. From the florals, to the table decor, to the seating area, and everything in between. Carmen was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable! Couldn’t recommend Carmen and her team more!

    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!

    Beautiful Bridal Bouquet

    My bridal bouquet was a dream! It was perfect and beautiful. Carmen was amazing to work with, even with more of a "last minute" request for just a bridal bouquet.

    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!

    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!

    WOW! Highly Recommend The Cutting Garden

    Carmen and The Cutting Garden were absolutely wonderful! Carmen's years of experience showed as she was so helpful with the process and all the details that go into it. My favorite meeting through the wedding planning was my floral appointment with The Cutting Garden team! It was so fun to create a vision and The Cutting Garden not only offers beautiful florals, but also great rentals! Carmen's team completely transformed our venue into the day of our dreams! Communication was great, everything was smooth and the teams positive energy is contagious. Highly highly recommend The Cutting Garden! Best in the business with great people who truly care.

    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!

    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.

    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!
