    Beautiful Wedding Flowers

    MaryEllen did a wonderful job with our flowers for our wedding. When we first went to talk to her we didn't have many ideas of how we wanted things to look, we just knew what type of flowers we wanted and she went with it. Everything she did turned out absolutely beautiful! from the ceremony piece on the gazebo, to all the bouquets and ceremony decorations. She also was able to answer all of our questions whenever they came up. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is getting married or needs flowers for an event.

    Perfect fall colors

    We had a fall wedding and I really wanted fall colors in the bouquets but had no idea what types of flowers or anything besides wanting the color orange. Cameron and Fairbanks did a great job finding exactly what I had wanted. Loved the colors and got so many compliments on the flowers.

    Fantastic Experience

    Mary Ellen was absolutely wonderful to work with.  We had to reschedule our wedding several times due to COVID and Mary Ellen was very flexible and accommodating every time. When my grandma could no longer attend my wedding due to COVID, Mary Ellen offered to send her a silk flower corsage via mail the week of my wedding.  It was such a caring gesture and it meant the world to my grandma and family.  The flowers for my wedding were gorgeous. Mary Ellen is a talented artist, she clearly has an amazing eye for colors and textures.  I gave Mary Ellen my color ideas and she created a beautiful proposal and stunning floral arrangements for my wedding.  She also had great advice for different floral options within various budgets and I found her to be incredibly reasonably priced compared to other florists.  We also had some unique floral needs such as decorating a vintage bicycle and she did a great job with that.  I highly recommend Cameron & Fairbanks!

    Beautiful flowers!

    Mary Ellen and her team were a dream to work, especially with all of the changes that came with planning a wedding during a pandemic! She completely understood my vision (and budget) and made it work. The flowers were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend!

    Most Perfect Wedding Florals!! Greenery theme :)

    100% stars! My husband & I got married at Lord Thompson Manor in Thompson Connecticut on 7/31/21. Mary Ellen was a delight to work with! She is all that you hope for in being a wonderful piece of your big day- from start to finish she was absolutely wonderful. Being in the event industry, working with patient, committed, passionate and lovely people throughout the planning process is all you hope for and I hit the jackpot with Cameron & Fairbanks Floral! She was so organized and kept me updated on revisions of quotes, emails and was so fast at responding. She took my ideas and ran with them, making the MOST BEAUTIFUL bridal bouquet for me. My theme was greenery, with a small dash of white throughout and Mary Ellen nailed it!!!
    Instead of having all my bridesmaids and grandmas/nana, Mom/MIL carry a small bouquet, they all had corsages instead. I thought back to other weddings I had been in, and I have my bridesmaid bouquet for an hour and I unfortunately I didn’t see it again. With a corsage, the girls were able to have it on all night and act as another accessory! I am SO glad I did it this way, it was a lovely addition to their gowns, and it was easy for them to save and dry out after the wedding. When walking down the aisle, the girls held onto one of the groomsmen, so they didn’t miss out on holding anything going down the aisle. For photos, the girls all switched their corsage to the wrist that was sticking out and all held onto the person in front of them. She did an amazing job with adding the white florals onto the corsage ribbons to add the most perfect amount of color! The ribbon she used matched so amazingly to their gowns.
    It was great as well, that my sister (MOH) and I, were the only ones with a bouquet. My MOH was walking down the aisle alone and I wanted her to be holding a smaller version of what my bridal bouquet was to make her feel special and to honor her.
    We also had complimentary boutonnieres for the minister who married us, my father, my husband, and his groomsmen. I am so glad Greenery was our floral theme, no matter what greenery stems were inside, I knew it would look amazing and go so beautifully with all the colors of our wedding, the grounds of our venue and it was so elegant and simple. I had all trust that Mary Ellen was going to take her creativity in any direction she wanted and picking up our florals was such a moment with her. Everything was so reasonably priced, the pickup at her shop was so easy and my bouquet and boutonniere still look amazing- drying out for us to keep. I gave her my frame and height, so she knew what size to make my bouquet and needless to say it was PERFECT, and I was OBSESSED!
    I can’t say enough amazing things!! Mary Ellen works so hard, and you can totally see that in her work! The organization and effortless system throughout my time working with Mary Ellen was seamless and I recommend her to anyone!! I have not one negative thing to say about her, she is truly amazing!
    RUN don’t walk to hire her for your wedding or any special occasion!

    Amazing!!!

    I loved working with Mary Ellen!! She was so easy to work with and completely understood what I wanted and my ideas. She was flexible and understanding when it came to covid postponements. Her flowers are unreal and just so beautiful. I’m so thrilled with how they came out.

    cameron & fairbanks floral design's reply:

    Hi Dana!
    Thank you so much for the lovely review! The photos came out beautifully and you looked stunning.
    Best,
    Mary Ellen

    The best florist you can hire!

    I was a picky bride. I knew what I wanted, what the colors were going to be, what flowers, and all on a very average budget. I knew it was going to be hard. I knew my vision and inspiration boards didn’t align with my budget. But then I met Mary Ellen. She was the best decision I made for my wedding (aside from choosing my husband). She worked with my inspiration boards and talked to me about ways we could adapt the designs to meet my budget. When I told her I couldn’t afford centerpieces, she told me how to DIY them. She went so above and beyond during the preparation phases, that I had no anxiety when it came to my wedding day.

    The wedding day was incredible. Mary Ellen showed up with her team and made magic happen. She created a stunning 8ft floral hoop backdrop for the ceremony that we reused for the photo op during the reception. She even stuck around during the ceremony to help move the location of the hoop afterwards!

    The bouquets were stunning. The installed hanging greenery received so many compliments, and our guests had the best time with the photo op. If you have a vision and a budget, I encourage you to share openly with Mary Ellen and let her guide you to a solution! Thank you so much!!

    Artistic layouts at an affordable price!

    Mary Ellen made my wedding day look absolutely stunning with her floral arrangements! I would absolutely recommend her for your wedding floral needs. Here are just some of my reasons:

    1) Beautiful, unique floral centerpieces. I wanted a more natural, asymmetric look for my centerpieces and bouquet. All I did was send her some pinterest photos of what I was looking and she was able to create a unique arrangement in the color I wanted beautifully! She was also kind enough to make a “trial” bouquet for me to look at prior to signing the contract.
    2) Great prices. I shopped extensively for florist for my wedding. Mary Ellen was by far the best priced and she made beautiful, large bouquets well worth the money.
    3) Great flowers. My guests took all the centerpieces home because they were so stunning. All the centerpieces lasted ~2wks after the wedding. Some of the aisle florals lasted even longer afterwards.
    4) Great designs. I had no idea what to do for the aisle and arch floral arrangements. Mary Ellen, designed these beautiful arrangement that complimented by centerpiece style and color scheme.
    5) Flexibility. I ended up adding a lot of additional floral needs (e.g., more centerpieces, dessert table décor, appetizer décor), just days before my wedding. Mary Ellen added these to my contract prompted and delivered them all on time on my wedding day.
    6) Simplicity in pricing. Cost/arrangement was extremely clear. There was absolutely no hidden costs at all. The online payment portal was also super easy to use.

    Really can't thank her enough for making my wedding day so beautiful and memorable!

    Amazing, amazing, amazing

    Cameron and Fairbanks
    I do not have enough words to say how amazing working with Maryellen was. She has an incredible talent and the flowers she created for our wedding were beyond my wildest wedding dreams. She worked with us on every detail, was flexible and answered my 2700 questions I had leading up to the wedding. She delivered on everything she said she would and then somehow gave us more! She captured us as a couple and our guests could not stop raving about the arrangements. She was reasonably priced and we couldn’t have been happier with her work. Hiring Maryellen would be easily the best wedding decision you make!!

    Maryellen is absolutely excellent and a true pleasure to work with! Our daughter married the love of her life last Saturday. This was a very unique, different wedding that had so much personal touch throughout. Maryellen worked so closely with our daughter to make sure everything she wanted was just perfect, and it was beyond perfect! The floral design throughout was amazing from cocktail hour to the reception and the bride and bridesmaids flowers, even the grooms boutonniere, just spectacular! She transformed the tent entrance, literally to something amazing and so inviting. Not to mention she picked most of these flowers from her garden that very morning. I highly recommend this vendor!

    About 4 months prior to my wedding, my friend who was going to be in charge of all the flowers realized that she needed someone else to take the lead. My mom told me not to worry as she found a great florist near our venue for my wedding. Mary Ellen was a gift! She has a great deal of expertise, really knows her flowers and designs, is a warm and friendly person, and most of all, willing to collaborate. I knew my colors and price range and insisted on putting together the table arrangements and making the bouquets with my bridal party. I needed someone to suggest and purchase specific flowers, consult on the table arrangements, make a garland for the head table, make boutonnières, and deliver and place everything. Mary Ellen was so flexible and willing to work together with us. We couldn’t have been happier with her services and with the flowers. They were beautiful. Mary Ellen’s shop, workspace, and gardens are the greatest. You can not go wrong with Mary Ellen as your floral designer.

    I can't say enough about Cameron and Fairbanks! Mary Ellen brought my vision to life and everything from our table decor to the bouquets was exactly what I wanted. Mary Ellen and I worked very closely with great communication to make sure that we were both on the same page every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Cameron and Fairbanks and I will consider them for any other special occasion needs!

    Mary Ellen was wonderful to work with for my wedding last month! It took a while to find the right florist, but when I first spoke with Mary Ellen on the phone, I knew she was the right fit. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and it's clear she truly loves her work. She's knowledgeable and has a great eye, but was also very flexible and open to my all my ideas. She really went above and beyond for our wedding - conducting a site visit with us, obtaining flowers that were in my mother's bridal bouquet, and building an incredible chuppah for us. Mary Ellen is open to feedback, creative, thoughtful and a wonderful person to work with. Our flowers on the day of were absolutely stunning!

    Mary Ellen was a pleasure to work with. We struggled finding a florist who would get back to us in a timely manner, and we went with Mary Ellen because she was so incredibly responsive. She answered all my questions within a day. Everything showed up on time and it looked beautiful. I loved how all the bouquets turned out and everything was reasonably priced. I highly recommend Mary Ellen for any event.

    Mary Ellen was absolutely FANTASTIC in creating and designing our floral arrangements for our wedding. From the moment I met her I knew we were in good hands. She understood my vision for our arrangements immediately and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect for our big day. She was very responsive and accommodated all of our last minute requests and changes and is just the sweetest person ever. We are SO happy with how everything turned out and would not hesitate to hire her a second time.

    Cameron and Fairbanks came highly recommended to us from our Event Stylist, Shannon Downey, who is from the area. We loved that Mary Ellen took the time to introduce herself to us, give us a bit of backstory on how she got started in the floral industry, and showed us her magnificent gardens at her home. As a bride that changed her mind 9 million times during our nearly 2-year engagement, Mary Ellen kept up with my centerpiece changes, cake decorations, and bouquet photos that I sent weekly. She created beautiful centerpieces that were exactly what we were looking for, the bouquets were gorgeous-- mine still looks great over a week later! And she delivered it all and helped to set it up on site. Mary Ellen was always willing to meet to review what we had decided on and she created beautiful pieces for our wedding. We are so pleased with how beautiful her creations were!

    Working with Mary Ellen at Cameron & Fairbanks was the best decision we could have made! For our Fall wedding we wanted to go with sunflowers, babies breath and add a little pop of color with red berries. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and center pieces were more than we could have hoped for! We would highly recommend working with this florist for your next event. Very personable, quick to respond, affordable and very accommodating! All of our guests were complimenting her beautiful work.

    We were married Friday, October 6, 2017 - Mary Ellen made the planning process a breeze. She brought every facet of my vision to life! My flowers were beyond anything I could have ever dreamt and we received numerous compliments on the bouquets, the corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces and ceremony decor! I highly recommend Mary Ellen over and over and over again! Thank you for everything.

    Mary Ellen is amazing! Personally as well as professionally. She legitimately SAVED my wedding. My venue shut down and wasn't notified, all of my vendors were booked and she was the first to call! Worst nightmare ever.

    I found a new venue but it was now about 3 hours away from her but she decided she'd do it anyways given the circumstances! Again just amazing. I was absolutely blown away by the flowers at my wedding gorgeous doesn't even give them justice. She definitely goes above and beyond in every single way. Thanks again for saving the day!

    I am so happy with all the wedding flowers! Mel really understood my vision and had great ideas for how to brighten up the dark reception room. My bouquet was just stunning, so bright, colorful, and a nice variety of flowers! I really enjoyed the whole process!! Would recommend Cameron & Fairbanks to any bride-to-be!

    Mary Ellen was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. At the 1st meeting, she took detailed notes with how I wanted the flowers to look for my wedding day and she made it come true. I couldn't recommend Mary Ellen more for her responsiveness and value!
