Susan, from Floral Cottage, is consistently professional. She answered all of our questions promptly, and shared examples and choices that helped us select the flowers for our wedding ceremony and our reception that reflected exactly what we wanted. We got married at Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, where the original Woodstock festival happened, and Susan's floral creations expressed the beautiful, wildflower aesthetic that we desired for the occasion. I was so happy with all of the bouquets, and my wreath headpiece was perfect. Our guests commented on the flower-decorated chuppah, and were so happy to take home centerpieces. Susan reused flowers from the ceremony to decorate our sweetheart table, and everything looked so lovely. Our bridal party members were thrilled with the bouquets, corsages, and pocket flowers, and all of our guests noticed how the beauty of Susan's flowers added to the overall joy of the day.

Beautiful flowers, easy to work with, took the time to understand what I liked and what colors I wanted. I told Susan I wanted a very organic looking mix of pinks and corals. She did not disappoint, even delivering delicate flowering branches (there were no guarantees they'd be blossoming, but they were). She remembered all of my likes and dislikes, and spared no detail. The price was very reasonable. I wouldn't change a single thing. Thank you Floral Cottage! Everyone was blown away by the gorgeous flowers at our wedding.

I hired Sue on the Recommendation of Tim at Mountain View Manor. I had seen some pictures of her work and was impressed so I decided to hire her without really talking to her in depth. I got to talk to her and have our first meeting at the tasting at MVM. It lasted about 10 minutes. I showed her inspiration pictures, and described the colors and tried to describe my vision. When I finished my very long description, she said, “Ok, so you’re looking for something like . . “ and went on to describe exactly what I had been having problems putting into words!! I felt so confident that we never really talked about it again!! LOL (I’m sure you can, she is the sweetest, nicest woman ever, I just didn’t feel the need, there were so many other things to think about and she seemed to have it all covered!) When people asked me what my flowers were going to look like, I would just laugh and say I didn’t really know! (I was doing a multi-colored wildflower look, and I didn’t have specific flowers I wanted, just the color profile)Can I say, that I was BEYOND delighted at what Sue did for all the flowers at the Wedding. The centerpieces were exquisite and even better than what I could have imagined in my head. They worked with both the room and the ambiance I wanted to project. The flowers for the arch at the ceremony were lush and made the pictures look magical. She truly went above and beyond to make things beautiful for my wedding and I am so grateful that I picked her!!

Sue from Floral Cottage Weddings totally exceeded any expectations that I ever could have imagined. There is really no other way to describe how much I loved my wedding flowers!!My husband and I got married at Mountain View Manor in Glen Spey, NY in September of 2019. We are not local to that area so we relied on the venue for many of our vendor choices. They highly recommended Sue from Floral Cottage Weddings, and we hired her based on that recommendation. We met with her once or twice prior to our wedding. Since I am not from that area I didn’t have the option to have her create any samples for me to see. Honestly I preferred it that way because I really didn’t want to have to make too many decisions.I explained that since I was getting married in September, I did not want pastels (light pinks, light yellows, lavender, white), but that I really don’t like the fall colors either (browns, golds, and dark purples). I didn’t give many specific requests for certain flowers other than ranunculus. Basically, I didn’t even know what I wanted, and I was worried that I wasn’t giving Sue a clear enough picture of what I was hoping for. She actually seemed to immediately understand me though. She said that she could design my wedding flowers using “summer fall” colors, incorporating ranunculus. When she said that, I felt so at ease. It was like she knew what I wanted, even though I didn’t know how to explain it!! I chose gold goblets for the centerpiece containers, requested that she wrap my bouquet stems in a piece of my grandmother’s dress, and left the rest of the design to her. The result was amazing.My bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning. There is no other word for it. The “summer fall” color scheme she put together was spectacular, and really felt appropriate for September. Not spring or mid-summer, but not fall either! She did a wonderful job wrapping the stems with the piece of my grandmother’s dress. The centerpieces were completely outstanding and really made the whole reception room look amazing. I gave zero input regarding what I wanted the corsages and boutineers to look like, and what Sue created was so intricately and delicately put together that I was just in awe. The flowers over our altar made a statement, and the shepherd’s hooks lining the seating area were so cute and cheerful!! The small bud vases that I asked her to fill each had a few cute sprigs of different things and brightened up all of the outdoor tables and some of the mantles and bar tops. Although we didn’t discuss size or volume that much during the planning process, I feel that everything I received was HUGE, and way bigger than I ever would have expected. I was literally in shock when I first saw everything, and then practically in tears.Sue runs a wonderful business. She is helpful, responsive, and reliable, and the value for what she delivers is unbelievable!! She is extremely talented and her creations are masterpieces! On top of that, it’s clear that she loves what she does. She gets along with all of the other vendors, and she really loves the brides and their families. She actually went out of her way to ensure that I had a few flowers at the venue for a dinner I hosted the night prior, and also left our centerpieces on site for the following day through our brunch. It was so sweet!! My family enjoyed working with her, and I love to stay in touch with her via email and social media. I highly recommend using her for your wedding or event!!(Photo Credit: Britt Lee Photography)

We hired Sue to create the floral arrangements for our wedding at Mountainview Manor on 8/7/21. Sue was such a pleasure to work with. She is a total artist, and I'm so glad I just took a step back and let her do her thing. I gave her what pieces we wanted, and what basic colors, and she blew our minds. The flowers were so different and completely stunning. Every single one of our guests compliments the floral arrangements. We cannot thank Sue enough. She went above and beyond for us, and she really is such a kind and fun person. Thank you, Sue!

I was recently married at MountainView Manor and Susan from Floral Cottage created my floral arrangements. I was blown away at how stunning they were. The colors worked so well with my bridesmaid dresses and the venue.I was very indecisive and not a great planner and all Susan did was look at my bridesmaid dress color and she created truly gorgeous arrangements. My bouquet stood out in every Photo and my table arrangements left everyone talking.Susan was nothing but professional, kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to create an arrangement for my sister who is in a wheelchair. She is an amazing artist! If you are looking for unforgettable and aesthetically pleasing floral attachments look no further than Susan and the Floral Cottage!!

Sue was amazing! We are so happy with our floral arrangements for our special day. She made our wedding absolutely beautiful. From our first meeting to our wedding day, Sue was always available for questions and changes throughout this crazy year for wedding planning. All I had to show her was our wedding colors and she brought it to reality but 1000x more beautiful than I could ever imagine. A complete sweetheart with so much talent. If you are having a wedding, this is the florist to use! 10/10! THE BEST.

Susan at the Floral Cottage was a dream. She arranged the flowers for our wedding this past weekend in Eldred, NY and it was better than I had even envisioned. I was never able to meet up with Susan in person before the wedding because I don't live locally, though she offered many times for us to meet up if I wished, but it was a breeze working with her. From the first time we spoke, she got me immediately. It was like she could finish my sentences. I even considered marrying her instead of my husband :) I wanted a simple, bohemian look for my outdoor wedding and she nailed it. She was professional in every way. She cared deeply about me being happy with how everything looked on our big day. I'm still over the moon about the flowers and the arrangements and tablescapes. It's clear that she caters to each of her clients' visions. Thank you Susan, from the bottom of my heart.
