Ct.Wedding Florist: Thank you and recommendation letter

Hey Debra,

It's Mara here. The first thing I'm going to write is that I can imagine how exhausted you are after weddings, etc. That's a lot of work.

The flowers were beautiful. They fit the venue, and the place cards fit the flowers etc. We all loved how the place looked, especially Ali and Scott. They were natural looking, yet sophisticated...just the look we were looking for.

So....keep up the good work. Hope you can enjoy some days here and there during the summer.

Please feel free to give our numbers to anyone for recommendations.


Best!


Mara

Ct.Wedding Flowers: Alison's thank you and recommendation letter

Hi Debra!


I'm finally getting a chance to thank you soooooo much for making our wedding so amazingly beautiful! The whole look and feel of everything was EXACTLY what I had in mind the whole time and if anything, even better when it was all together! The centerpieces, the orchids on each place setting, the barrel arrangements, the cocktail table arrangements and the huge arrangement near the placecards were so spectacular that people could not stop taking photographs of them. They matched the setting of Saltwater so well, I could not get over it! They added the perfect amount of color in a classy, elegant, and natural way.... exactly what we were trying to go for! The bouquets were absolutely beautiful as well! Everyone was so pleased.

And of course, you were so professional, sweet and fun to work with. Your excitement about what you were creating for our wedding was so nice. You are an amazing person. I really loved working with you! If you EVER need any references, we will tell everyone how great you are!

The wedding ended up being so spectacular (if we do say so!) Everyone had a ball and loved the setting! Thanks so much for setting the scene for that to happen.

We'll send you the professional photos once we get them!

Take care and keep in touch!

Ct.Wedding Florist: Erika's recommendation letter!! Thanks Erika!!!

 Debra was fantastic. We met and chatted about what we wanted for our wedding day and she took everything we said and made it happen. Debra managed to capture the fun and whimsy of the theme, (candy), putting rock candy in the centerpieces and also coordinating the colors of the day, (teal, burgundy, and pale gold), into the bouquets and ... See Morearrangements. She added teal coloring to the alter arrangements and made all the pew markers fit with fun and flare. She listened and added more touches of creativity to the bouquets by incorporating peacock feathers into the bouquets and boutineer. I absolutely loved working with Debra and her flowers added to the most wonderful wedding day. 
 Thanks again, Erika

Ct.Wedding Florist: Great Recommendation letter.

 Debra was the best florist we met with. She took the time to make our wedding OUR wedding not just some carbon copy of a celebrity wedding we saw in a magazine. We started there, with all of the cut out images, but then she took the time with us to add the personal touches that would make our wedding truly unique. This color here or there would ... See Morechange this or that because of the space or my wife's features. Sorry, Deb, I am a guy so it's tough to say it the way you two did. You are the pro! Our day became OUR best day because Debra listened to us. Just making copies was not good enough for her. All of our guests are still talking about it. Wow.---Happy Husband, -J
