Kristen delivered the flowers for our wedding and everything looked gorgeous! The arrangements added to our arbor and centerpieces pulled the entire look of our decor together. The boutonnieres and bouquets were simple, but elegant and exactly what we wanted. They perfectly complimented the attire. All the flowers were fresh and bright. Kristen was great throughout the whole process. We were able to meet with her at her home from the beginning and plan out how we wanted everything to look. She was also great at making sure we stayed within our original budget. I highly recommend her for any north shore weddings. More...

From the start of wedding planning to the finish, Kristen was absolutely incredible! I was a typical bride, overwhelmed with the endless possibilities of options for my big day. Kristen talked me through each detail to make sure that each and every aspect was beyond perfect for my big day. Kristen even went as far as being in touch with the venue to make sure that everything I had envisioned would be achievable and if not offered different options right away. The flowers exceeded any expectations I had. They were beyond beautiful and lasted well beyond just the day! Kristen was a dream to work with and extremely affordable and accommodating. I have already recommended her services to many other brides and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you for all of your hard work Kristen! More...

Working with Kristen was an absolutely fantastic experience. Communicating with her was a breeze and a joy. Her creative suggestions and expertise brought my vision to life and made the florals for our wedding beyond what I could have imagined. After my first conversation with her I trusted her fully to do our wedding. She allowed us to utilize vases we found that matched our color scheme and came up with great ideas to incorporate other floral arrangements to match. I had a rather specific image in mind for my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets and she executed this perfectly. She was respectful of our budget and helped us find ways to stay within that budget while still achieving the look we wanted.
Our wedding was during a record heat wave, but at no point did Kristen express concerns about this. I never once worried about my flowers in the heat because Kristen was prepared and took every necessary precaution to make sure they all looked amazing all night.
I have had multiple people ask me where I got my flowers and comment on how beautifully they were arranged.
Working with Kristen was totally stress free and added such a unique and personal touch to our wedding. We are so thankful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

I found Kristen through several online searches of florists in my area. She had wonderful reviews, and many saying she is able to work with your budget. From the get go she was super responsive. After my initial email, she worked quickly to get an idea of what I was looking for and sent me an estimate / proposal for my wedding. I wasn't 100% sure what I was looking for, but knew I wanted sunflowers and sent her over some inspiration pictures. I booked her right away based on how affordable her services were! A month or so before the wedding she called me to go over everything she had in the proposal. She was very accommodating and removed some things we no longer needed, and added flowers we decided we wanted during our planning process. I am clueless when it comes to flowers, and Kristen helped me decide what would look nice together, and flowers that were similar to my inspiration photos. A few weeks later, we had to drop off the vases we purchased for the centerpieces to her house. My husband got lost on the way, so I called Kristen to see if she could help us with directions. She was so kind and took my husband's phone number down to help him find her, and then even texted me when he got there to let me know he made it!

The day of the wedding everything was at the venue and set up before either my husband and I arrived on site. Everything was absolutely beautiful, from the bouquets and the centerpieces, down to the cake! I can't thank you enough for making my flower vision come to life!

When I was looking for florists, I was looking for vendors who made beautiful designs, but were also within my budget. Kristen really surpassed my expectations. From the start, she was extremely responsive, going back and forth with me on the different arrangements I needed, and even sending me a pinterest page of flowers that I would like. I met with her in person and she was extremely flexible, always listening, offering her suggestions, and making sure she took down all the details. She was also willing to work within my budget, which I truly appreciated. Come wedding day, she went above and beyond, my guests kept complimenting me on the beautiful flowers!!! They really were a work of art and was delighted seeing how they made my wedding so special. Overall, if you want a florist who knows what she is doing, is friendly, flexible, and responsive... look no more! More...

We hired Kristen to do the flowers for our wedding at the Ipswich Country Club in May 2019. Kristen was wonderful to work with and was always willing to go the extra mile. We had originally asked Kristen to do flowers for the wedding party only and were planning to make our own centerpieces. About a month and half out we decided to ask Kristen to do the centerpieces as well and she jumped right in and even offered to paint the vases we had bought herself. When Kristen arrived with the flowers on the day of, I was truly blown away by how beautiful they were. From the centerpieces to the bridesmaids bouquets to my bouquet, everything was just above and beyond what I had ever expected. Kristen even brought some extra flowers to arrange in the entry and on our sweetheart table. I can’t recommend Kristen highly enough. More...

One of the elements of planning our wedding that I was most excited for was flowers. I absolutely love fresh flowers, and wanted have a fun, personal and unique bouquets and centerpieces at our wedding. Kristen did the flowers for my sister's wedding which we loved, so my fiancee and I reached out to see if Kristen could work with us, in our budget. From the very first interaction and until the day she dropped off our flowers, Kristen was incredible to work with. She listened to what we were looking for, made recommendations based on our bridesmaids colors and venue, and made sure to incorporate my favorite flowers and antique pitchers we had collected to be part of our theme. Each of the bouquets and boutineers Kristen created was unique, but they all tied together beautifully. I couldn't have been more thrilled with our flowers or working with Kristen - everything totally exceeded our expectations!! More...

First, Kristen's passion for her profession is apparent from the moment you meet her. She loves what she does, and it shows in the beautiful designs she creates. We wanted a custom garland for our event, and she brought it to life in the most elegant way. She created such beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, wristlets, corsages, and centerpieces - we received so many compliments on everything she did.

Also, her attention to detail is off the charts. I mentioned to Kristen that I had leftover lace that I'd had removed from my dress, and she used that lace on my bouquets, our centerpiece vases, and even the flower girl basket. She also gave samples of the lace to our wedding coordinator, who was then able to match it with other details on our day. Walking into our reception room and seeing all of these perfectly corresponding pieces took my breath away, and that's all thanks to Kristen's great ideas and follow through.

If you are lucky enough to work with Kristen, you will have moments on your big day where you are just in awe of how much she thought of and added to your wedding.

Kristen was amazing!! Honestly I selected her because she was within my pretty tight budget, and she totally exceeded my expectations. We worked together mostly via email before the big day, and she did a great job helping me narrow down my somewhat scattered vision. She's very experienced and can work with many different vibes. I was a little anxious because most of the photos of her work on here are of tighter/more formal looking arrangements and bouquets and I was going for a messier, more organic vibe. She was very confident/assuring throughout the design process and totally knocked it out of the park! She also made things work that I didn't think were possible -for instance our welcome sign easel and frame were extremely flimsy so a few days before the wedding I wrote to say to leave off the flowers on it, yet somehow she totally made it work! She doesn't do a ton of weddings each weekend, so I trusted her team to get things where they needed to be on time and with great attention to detail and they totally pulled it off! Highly recommend!!! More...

After searching the internet, contacting several other vendors, and receiving a few proposals for the flower arrangements for my daughter’s wedding, I read a number of very positive reviews of Garden Designs by Kristen written by brides whom had recently used her for their wedding flowers.
