Petals by Cary

Cary did an amazing job at my fusion wedding last fall and this review is long overdue! She created floral harmonies that not only included my color choices, but elevated and unified them. The wedding colors were jewel tones on the cool side; my dress was royal purple and gold, the bridesmaids in deep emerald, my mother in navy, groomsmen in charcoal suits with emerald ties, and the tables were iridescent blue-purple, with gold chivari chairs. Cary found the perfect flower combinations to make this work, and I was able to have the most gorgeous blue, purple, white, and green arrangements I'd ever seen. Cary worked with my budget, and recommended types of flowers and vase sizes according to it. She also provided options to see how things might look if I made more room in the budget, because hey, this is a very special occasion and why not have things looking amazing. I remember increasing the number of table arrangements while decreasing the size of bridesmaids bouquets -- all in all, it was not far off from my original budget and I avoided having sparse dinner tables. We also wanted flowers at the ceremony and Cary provided us visual arch options to choose from. In the end, we received a free upgrade and had a bigger arch than expected, with the most wonderfully romantic looking flowers wrapped around it. Cary and her team arrived prior to the ceremony and worked with the catering staff to get everything set up. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend Petals by Cary for your big occasion. Do take a look at the photos of my event. Thank you Cary, for helping make my wedding as beautiful as I dreamt!

Cary is a vendor/friend every bride would love to have at her wedding. Not only that Cary is very professional at what she is good at – floral design, she is also very accommodating to the bride’s needs. She makes “making the bride happy” her priority and thrives to go above and beyond to achieve that. Cary made the flower part of the wedding planning very smooth and effortless. We basically gave Cary a picture look book of floral ideas, wedding theme and colors and she just ran with it. A few weeks before the wedding Cary sent us a draft of the floral designs she had for our wedding. We could tell that the designs were created specifically for our wedding – not a recycle from previous weddings she had. Cary asked the right questions to understand what we liked and even offer ideas and helps on other part of the wedding planning. As our wedding was in the summer and in Livermore (one can imagine the temperature can really heat up there!), we worried that our flowers won’t last the whole day but Cary assured us that her flowers won’t die and they really didn’t! Cary’s flowers were very fresh, flawless, and most importantly they lasted the whole wedding! On the day of the wedding, Cary was very responsive. She checked in with me multiple times with updates to make sure I felt good about the flowers. Cary also provided me with mental supports before walking down the aisle as I was very nervous. She even made sure that I stayed hydrated under the heat just like how she made sure her flowers stayed hydrated. I can’t thank Cary enough for playing an important part in perfecting our wedding. She receives my highest recommendation as a wedding florist.
