“Carrie's flowers have an individual flair and a freedom of artistic expression that is unique to each piece she is inspired to create”.

"I believe that we were very lucky to have Carrie as our florist for our very special day. We went to Carrie with only flowers that we wanted and not many ideas! But after talking and working with her she came up with some fantastic ideas. After that we knew that we were in good hands and that our flowers would be spectacular and just what we wanted. Carrie was very accommodating, especially when I asked her to put my Nana’s engagement and wedding rings into my bouquet the morning or the wedding! When they were delivered on the ‘big day’, we were all very excited. They were beautiful and they complimented everything (my Nana’s rings in my bouquet looked fantastic). The bouquets in the reception area were also stunning. We received many compliments about the bouquets, buttonholes and corsages that Carrie created. So Carrie, thank you so much for all of your hard work, we really appreciated what you created and we loved them."

"Carrie helped make our wedding day unique and beautiful through her flowers. They followed the theme of our natural and simple wedding, and Carrie knew exactly what we wanted even when we didn’t know! The bouquet looked amazing in Flowers Kaikoura in the first place. The best thing was that our guests got to enjoy the flowers for many weeks to come after the wedding - the orchids flowered forever and the succulents were planted and are growing well from all reports! I am glad that our flowers were “recycled” as we were unable to bring them back to Australia with us. A perfect addition to a perfect day. Thank you Carrie!"

"The flowers that Carrie did for our wedding were exceptional. The colour of the roses were a perfect match to my dress and the bridesmaid’s dresses. I wanted a more open looking flower and Carrie was able to do this for me without a problem. The attention to my requests and the detail in the presentation was outstanding. I loved the gorgeous ribbon and natural looking pearls that roses are bound with. We had so many comments about the flowers from guests at the wedding. Carrie was professional, friendly, interested, easy to deal with and obviously a talented florist."
Katie and James

“I found Carrie extremely easy to work with. At a time when stress is mounting and time is of essence, you don't have to tell Carrie anything more than once, she is attentive to her clients and can be relied upon to deliver fantastic results. Carrie had a great understanding of what we wanted for our wedding, and provided creative and innovative ideas. We just loved our wedding flowers, they were perfect for our wedding theme, and perfectly suited our own personalities. The bouquets, button-holes and table arrangements were well put together and certainly lasted the distance. We had quite a modern, minimalist, native theme for our wedding and the beautiful flax-plaiting and the use of wire, ferns and flax was brilliant. I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone planning their wedding or any other occasion that required beautiful arrangements.”
Vivienne and Fraser Bickley

“Carrie is extremely professional, confident and dedicated. I felt she was genuinely interested in my plans and really appreciated that a girls wedding day is one of the most special days of her life. When we couldn't get the flowers I wanted she quickly provided lots of other options for me to consider. She was still trying right down to 1 week before the big day. I really appreciated what she did for me and because of her energy, initiative and artistic flare I had the most beautiful sheaths which were instrumental in making my wedding absolutely perfect.”
Nicola and James Russ

“Given our very vague directions, a lesser florist may have missed the mark completely. With Carrie however, nothing could be further from the truth. Carrie's modern designs simply exceeded all expectations and were the most stunning arrangements either of us had ever seen. Her use of wood and copper complemented the colours in the suit, and our hair stylist was so impressed with the unique colours of the lilies they made their way into Karmin's hair. Without any doubt we would have no reservations about recommending Carrie and her unique creations.”
