Planning perspective

What to consider before reaching out

A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.

For a florals partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Nicole was the perfect person to be the florist for our wedding. I wasn't the type of bride that had specific ideas, more just general feelings and Nicole understood perfectly.

She handled our centerpieces, wedding party flowers, flower girl crowns, chuppah, and everything else. Her flowers helped bring my vision of a Vermont garden wedding to life and she did it all perfectly.

On top of it all, the owner and the staff are lovely people. I 100% recommend this shop.

We hired Nicole from The Painted Tulip for our September 2023 wedding and could not have been happier! She was easy to communicate with and tailored our flower order to exactly what we wanted. We ordered bulk flowers (we made table centerpieces ourselves), a bridal bouquet, two large bouquets for the wine barrels at our wedding, and flower pieces to hang on an arbor. We picked up the flowers the day prior to the wedding and set up everything ourselves to save a bit of money. The flowers were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and exactly how I imagined. My sister and mom picked up the flowers the day prior to the wedding and had a great time with that; Nicole apparently helped them pack the car so that th...

Pick the city you and most of your guests will be driving from and we will estimate the trip.

An estimate for planning, not live traffic. Leafy weekends in October always take longer.
