Kristen did an amazing job with my wedding floral design! She was the first florist I met with and…read moreright away I knew I could trust her with my wedding day. I tend to be very particular but she helped me choose a beautiful combination of flowers and showed me examples along the way (which was VERY helpful). On the wedding day, not only was she a HUGE help with setting up but I was also beyond impressed at how perfectly she matched my vision. Kristen was great at working with my budget and thought of creative ways to cut costs by incorporating "diy" vases/urns. I highly recommend Kristen France as your wedding florist!

Carol did our flowers for our wedding a few weeks ago and they were beautiful. She has a great eye…read morefor knowing what looks best with the environment and colors. Ours was an outdoor wedding and the flowers on the chair to the arch at the alter looked whimsical. Carol herself is absolutely marvelous. I loved discussing the wedding with her and her ideas on who should have what, colors and centerpieces. You can tell she loves what she does and because of it she has quality work. I very much recommend her and her business!

My initial consultation with Carol went well. I quietly flipped through magazines and pointed out…read moreconcepts/colors/styles I liked. Throughout all subsequent consultations (once the deposit was made), Carol seemed to push back/question my ideas. "Sunflowers are too casual" (even though they are my favorite flowers), and "Orange is too bold." She pushed me to select pastel colors... the opposite of what I wanted, even though I brought pictures of only bright colors. I tried to keep an open mind throughout all of our meetings since she was the expert and knew what was in season, within budget, etc., but even my simple request for a colorful bouquet was ignored, and I received the one thing I absolutely did not want: an all-white bouquet. Don't get me wrong, it was a lovely bouquet! I was just flabbergasted that of all requests, this one seemed like an easy one. At our final meeting before the wedding, she told me she had lost all the photos from our studio appointment, which is essentially a practice round for centerpieces. We also had 3 types of arrangements at our reception hall... low, medium, and tall. We opted for only 4 of the tall variety, as they were quite pricey. In all, the room did not need any tall centerpieces. I will also mention, our low centerpieces were lovely. I wish she had advised us to only use low and medium sizes. I emphasized that I was looking for lush bouquets for my bridesmaids (on a budget, but still full). The only way I can describe how they turned out is "spikey." So, in comparison, I'm happy I had a lush white bouquet rather than a colorful spikey one. To my surprise, walking into the wedding reception, I saw we had a HUGE head table floral piece that we didn't ask for (and frankly looked like something for a funeral home), and those flowers would have been much better utilized in the pieces we actually wanted... pretty bouquets. If I ignore the flowers, the wedding day itself was absolutely perfect. It is just a shame to spend so much on a detail I disliked. I'm not one to provide a negative review, but felt inclined to inform other brides who are still shopping. I'm sure she is as talented as the other brides have explained, but that was certainly not my experience.

Before the wedding, they were open and quick to answer any questions we had, including vendor recommendations and tipping quandaries. Unfortunately, Audra was ill and unable to attend the rehearsal/wedding, but Jena was able to step up and provide 5 star service nonetheless. At the rehearsal, she coordinated with the venue to ensure everything was set up appropriately. On the wedding day, when the weather prevented us from having our first look at our scheduled outdoor location, Jena contacted all of our vendors to let them know of the updated location. She helped our photographer coordinate family photos and wrangle family members, provided setup/cleanup at the venue, and did a whole lot more behind the scenes that I wasn't even aware of-because isn't that the point of having a wedding coordinator? We appreciated all of their hard work and would highly recommend them.

Also, we were waiting to receive the flowers an hour after they were delivered because instead of delivering them into the restaurants banquet room, they set them inside the front door and left without saying anything to anyone.
