Wow Jen is such an amazing florist!!! I hired her to create a custom bouquet and boutonniere for…read moreour Mt. Rainier elopement/intimate wedding ceremony. I had a lot of asks - can you use some native Washington flowers, can you match it with the colors/style of our wedding outfits, and can you not include certain flowers. She was amazing with all of it and did a great job brainstorming/communicating with me. What she created was better than anything I even IMAGINED! My husband was also blown away by his boutonniere - which was beautiful, masculine, and wove in native flowers. She also helped me brainstorm the crazy hot weather we were having at time time/how to keep the flowers in good shape and she let me pick them up late in the PM. Plus, her prices are very reasonable. I will recommend Jen to anyone who is looking for a florist.

She even came back and broke down all the centerpieces and put them in mason jars so we could give them away to our guests as they left. Her work was artistic, organic and absolutely stunning. You will not be disappointed!!

TARA IS AMAZING!…read more From the start I knew Tara was perfect for our wedding. She is prompt, organized, and helps you develop your vision and the wedding of your dreams. I am an out of state bride, so she really set my mind at ease with her professionalism and the great communication we had all the way leading up to the day. Her flower arrangements were so elegant and romantic, my bouquet was stunning and my bridesmaids all loved theirs. The flower girls looked adorable in their flower crowns too. Not only were our centerpieces perfect, she made the arbor of our dreams! I couldn't find exactly what I wanted online so I photo-bashed some pictures together to show her what I was thinking in my head. Not only did it look EXACTLY like what we wanted, it was even more beautiful in person. It made for the perfect backdrop for the ceremony and family portraits after. The bouquet was so beautiful, I had it preserved after the ceremony, so I could keep it forever. I really can't say enough how amazing Tara is, and how happy and thankful we are that we chose her for our special day. Thanks again!

She even has great suggestions if you want to save some money. Her visions are well put-together. I was really happy on what I saw that day. Even our bouquets was more than I had accepted and couldn't be happier. Her prices were lower than other florists and she buys her flowers from wholesaler which provides the freshest flowers that week. We had some of our guests take home the pomander balls we used for both ceremony and reception and they loved it. Oh! And at the last min, I had to add some more changes and Jing was able to add it in even though she already put in the flower order for me. I couldn't thank her enough.

When I was planning my last minute wedding in two months, I was referred to Contemporary Floral by…read moremy boss who has used them for many of her planned events. She said it is run by a woman pretty much on her own and does beautiful work. She gave me the contact info and I found the website. I noticed there weren't any Yelp reviews so I did more digging and found some reviews on them on the Wedding Wire site with near perfect 5 star reviews. Her wedding flowers were showcased on her website as well as on her Facebook page. I really liked her style. I emailed her and got a response right away. This was around the summer season so she was really busy. I let her know I was having a smallish wedding and described my color theme, coral and navy. I only needed a few key pieces to brighten up the outdoor space, some big arch flowers, a few boutonnieres and corsages, as well as my wedding bouquet. I didn't have a wedding party since it was so last minute so that was it. She sent me a quote for a very reasonable rate. I was a bit nervous about the flowers because I have not previewed what they would look like or what kinds of flowers she would use. I just sent her my payment and hoped for the best. Fast forward to the wedding day. I had the flowers delivered to the venue in the Seattle Laurelhurst neighborhood. My wedding planner said they arrived on time and were in perfect condition. When I arrived and first saw them I was really impressed. The flowers were simply gorgeous and so me! I wish I had ordered more flowers! The colors and flowers she selected were bright and refreshing and my bouquet was the perfect size; not too big or small. I have never met Kristen before and we've mainly communicated through email which was super simple. She is easy to work with and didn't cause any unnecessary stress. I will post some pics of her work. I am truly thankful that my boss referred me to her and would not hesitate to use her services again for other events or refer her to my friends.

Erin went above and beyond to bring my vision to life in more ways than I thought possible. Erin asked me for three words to describe the aesthetic I was hoping for and wow did she deliver on it. She was so kind and sweet, very easy to work with and communication was fantastic. The floral arrangements around the venue were so lovely and everyone complimented them. If I ever have the need for florals again, she will be the first person I call. Highly recommended if you need flowers and/or arrangements for any event!!!

I love that she sources flowers straight from her Seattle garden, which made everything feel both personal and seasonal. From our first conversation through the wedding day, Kelly was incredibly receptive, organized, and professional. She took the time to understand our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and executed every detail flawlessly. If you want florals that are distinctive, locally sourced, and created with genuine artistry, I cannot recommend Kelly and Botanique highly enough.

Wedding date: July 31, 2018 Wedding venue: Thornewood Castle…read more It is such a delight to work with Kelly. I hired her as my florist for my wedding last year. It was absolutely the best decision I made for my wedding! I DIY-ed my wedding to save some cost on expensive wedding planners. Kelly was referred to me by my caterer and she was the first on their list. Back then we were so busy with our house and I only started to contact florists at the beginning of June (remember my wedding day is July 31, so crazy to contact florists this late). I wrote to several florists and Kelly was the first one responded. We talked on phone about my visions for my wedding, my preferences, my budget and her precious experience at my wedding venue. She told me she would help me in anyway she can since I didn't have a planner and days were so close to my wedding. After the phone call, I knew she was the right person for me immediately. We had an in-person meeting the next week. I must say I had no idea of different styles of bouquet and yes, at that point, less than 7 weeks to my wedding, I didn't even set my mind on color palette yet. Kelly came prepared and she was so patient. We looked at some pictures so she could understand my preferences first then she gave me suggestions. Boy, those suggestions were so to the point and they were exactly what I had in my deep mind but couldn't describe. She helped me to form my vision in details and put everything together. After the meeting, I felt like I could see what my wedding would be. Before our final walk to the venue, Kelly helped me on picking out furniture. I send her lots of pictures of furniture I liked and asked her opinions. Not only did she send me different inspiration pictures for me to get some ideas of what would these pieces of furniture would look like with floral design, but also she gave me suggestions to cut some furniture which looked beautiful but wouldn't go well with my overall flow. She had so much experience and great ideas and I was so grateful that I can decide which furniture to choose quickly and painlessly. On our final walk through, Kelly helped me on deciding the overall floor plan. She was able to picture me the arch design, the welcome table design and dinner head table design. She was so prepared. I was able to see my whole wedding through her description. My wedding ceremony and dinner were outside but dancing place was inside the castle. Kelly kept that in mind and offered me to reuse some flowers outside in decorating dancing room to cut cost. She took notes of what I said in the final walk through and revised her design accordingly. Before the wedding, we had a phone call to finalize everything. I had a hard time on deciding on the aisle for my ceremony. I looked for so many pics but I just didn't love them enough and it was so hard for me to vividly describe my vision to her in my second language over the phone. At some point I just said I would settle on her old design (Kelly had worked at Thornewood Castle several times and she showed me her past work). But Kelly didn't settle and she made every effort to make sure that I didn't settle for my wedding. She kept sending me pictures and described me what she would do for my aisle. Finally we found the perfect aisle design for my wedding. On my wedding day, Kelly arrived earlier as usual and she waited at the gate. Thornewood Castle is known for its beauty and tons of rules. One rule specific is that if any of my vendors enters the property earlier than agreed time, I will be charged for extra hour. Everything she did was so beautiful. She was able to create everything I had in mind and she did even better. She gave me my perfect wedding. I couldn't say enough good things about Kelly. She is professional. She is creative. She is experienced. She cares about her clients. She goes above and beyond. She is so delightful to work with. And she can deal with incident on your wedding (my cake caterer didn't put sugar flowers on my wedding cake, which clearly she supposed to do according to our agreement; Kelly was able to use some eucalyptus to decorate my cake a little to give it an organic look; she took care of it before I even knew there was something wrong with my cake and went all panic and angry). Btw, she kept me on my floral budget! Kelly sent me cards and wrote emails to me after my wedding. She keeps in touch ever since. She doesn't treat her clients just as clients. She dives in to truly understand what you want and makes sure your wedding reflects you. Do work with Kelly. You sure will get way more than a professional and creative florist for your wedding.

I highly recommend Athina's Botanical Garden for anyone looking for stunning, high-quality floral arrangements for their special day!
