I ordered a flower arrangement from the other side of the country for a friend whose wife had…read morepassed away. Brenda was extremely helpful and was wide open to suggestions and ideas from me. My friend is an artist who had painted a stunning picture of his wife in a field of red flowers and another of a guardian angel for her when she was ill. Brenda took those two images and created an unique and beautiful tribute unlike anything I've ever seen -- 36 roses in a vase with a pair of wings. My friend was truly touched by the arrangement as well as the symbolism behind it. I cannot thank Brenda enough for her dedication and care for this job. The price was right, and she went above and beyond to get just the proper accessories for the flowers.

ORIGIN: Brenda Christie opened Bouquets & Beyond in 2017…read moreafter many years of working independently. LOCATION: The shop is located in a new shopping plaza that is set back on Woodbury's Main Street. EXPERIENCE: I first countered Brenda Christie's event installations at the opening of Home and Earth, just north of her shop on Woodbury's Main Street. The design wove vertical, horizontal, and center table floral displays with candles of equally varied dimension. Many florists will produce a pretty floral arrangement, but memorable... eye-catching? For that I would recruit Brenda Christie. Although Home and Earth is worth a visit in itself, as testament to the event experience, I returned to the shop the following day just to have more opportunity to enjoy the ephemeral installation! A recent visit to Woodbury's Bouquets & Beyond provided opportunity for me to see a summer collection of stems awaiting use by talented, award-winning florist and business owner, Brenda Christie. The case is filled with vibrantly colored blooms, including those that popularly appear in local summer gardens, such as hydrangea, lady's mantle, and sea holly, as well as tropicals that are not commonly found in other Litchfield County florist shops. The diversity of the collection reflects the bold creativity of Brenda Christie, through whom a unique and opulent bouquet is guaranteed. While the shop is positioned in a new business plaza in the southeastern corner of Litchfield County, Christie's floral designs have been installed in event spaces, business offices, and homes across the state. Local partners include the Mayflower Inn and Spa, Winvian Farm, Hopkins Vineyard, the 1754 House, and the Litchfield Inn.

Southbury Country Florist absolutely made my Mom's best friend, Rita's, birthday so special…read more The floral arrangement the owner, Kim Bova, created was gorgeous - fresh, full hydrangeas with beautiful seasonal greens and accents, arranged perfectly in a clear vase. It brightened up Rita's whole room the moment it arrived. The coordinating "Happy Birthday" card was so sweet and thoughtful, and she hasn't stopped talking about how pretty everything is. I purchased the beautiful birthday card, and the square on the card has seeds to be planted, and you soak it in water overnight, and place in a planter, cover with 1/8 inch of dirt, and it grows more flowers! I thought this was extra special so Rita can keep flowers blooming after the floral arrangement is long gone. From ordering to delivery, everything was smooth and right on time. It's clear they put real care into their work and into making their customers (and recipients!) feel special. I highly recommend Southbury Country Florist and I will definitely order from them again. If you have a family member or friend at River Glen Health Care Center in Southbury, CT, I please consider choosing Southbury Country Florist for any special gift or floral arrangement, because your recepient will love the care and creativity that goes into your arrangement and gift! Kim, thank you for making Rita feel very special on her 100th birthday!! 10 out of 10 rating!

But after doing a little Instagram research to get a sense of their aesthetic decided that I'd take a chance on Fieldtrip, and it paid off!

Jenny and team were quick to answer my questions and super-friendly throughout the process.
