I absolutely LOVED working with Margie. To start, I had a large floral request with really big dreams and reusing of flowers. Margie had no problem with all of this, and was able to provide me a floral quote that was 1/3 of what I heard back from other vendors. And her execution was perfection, she didnt skimp on a thing. Super affordable vendor, while also making beautiful arrangements and dreams come true. Margie even stayed to help relocate items from the ceremony to the reception. Cannot recommend enough

Sarah and her team at Crooked Fence Farm were simply amazing to work with! Initially, we booked with her just for florals and later added on day-of-coordination. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah made navigating all of the pre-wedding details a breeze. She is so kind, a great communicator, and truly made us feel special. Thanks to the timeline she helped us establish and her keeping us on track throughout the evening, I was able to relax and really be present in our wedding day. The wedding day florals were also perfection! My Pinterest inspiration pics were brought to life and were even better than I originally envisioned.

My daughter’s wedding was last Friday and it was absolutely perfect. We ordered flowers a few weeks before the wedding and got our first box no problem. The second box with the rest of the order was coming from a different location and UPS made a mistake with our address. If made me so nervous and I thought we are not going to have time to put flowers together but luis stepped in and resolved this situation very professionally. We got our flowers the same day and I can’t thank him enough for acting quickly and being incredibly helpful all they way. All of the flowers that came in looked great.

My love for floral design began inside the horticulture classroom at my high school. That classroom played a pivotal role in allowing me to be creative in ways that I never had been before. When I left for college, My goal was to study business in order to operate my own Floral Business but I quickly lost track of that dream. The pandemic served as a wake up call for me just like it did for so many others. Allowing me to rediscover my love for flowers and all things beautiful.

Chelsea's flowers are GORGEOUS. She did the florals for our wedding and completely knocked it out of the park. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted — the only real guidance I gave her was “wildflowers” — and somehow she delivered exactly what I had pictured (without me even knowing it myself!). Not only were the arrangements stunning, but they were also really well priced. When I mentioned what we paid to some of my other vendors, they were shocked at the value for how much we got. I highly, highly recommend Chelsea for all your floral needs. PS: the photos here are just quick snaps on my iPhone — they don’t even begin to do her work justice.
