    Gorgeous floral designs

    Philippa and her team are the best in the business - they’ve done both our wedding and another family member’s! They helped to make our floral vision a reality and everything they put together looked gorgeous. They were great to work with and offered wonderful insights and suggestions that helped really make things pop. We were in awe of how beautiful it looked and cannot recommend them enough!

    Look No Further – The Most Enchanting Floral Design Ever

    Look no further - these are truly the pros. We worked with Karen at Flowers at 38 to bring our vision of an enchanting, intimate wedding to life. Karen was incredibly patient as we changed our color palettes for three different spaces.

    Flowers at 38 is very transparent on pricing from the beginning so there are no surprises - they develop an initial contract with you and then you adjust as you add or subtract things. Karen also did a super helpful walkthrough with us as well and offered her expertise and design eye when we asked for help. I also appreciated how she was never trying to push anything on us - in fact, she even had some suggestions in case we wanted to save on costs. For example, she suggested repurposing some of our ceremony arrangements to our reception area (we put some in a bathroom and I swear it was the most beautiful thing ever!).

    The flowers were just breathtaking - they were so fresh, so beautiful - the arrangements were perfect -- it is art. In our ceremony space we had a broken arch that meant a lot to us because the flowers in them had special symbolic meaning to us. Karen gave us everything we asked for - it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. I fell in so much love with the floral design at our wedding, I had a hard time leaving the space when it was over (and I still miss it).

    Flowers at 38 also has an incredible, hardworking team that are truly part of your event (but do everything so swiftly and quietly you don't even know they are there). They break floral arrangements down, repurpose, and then take everything away at the end of the evening.

    At first glance, investing in floral for a wedding might seem expensive, but the attention to detail, design, fresh flowers, and labor that went in to all of this, makes this investment with Flowers at 38 well worth it.

    Also bonus: if you don't want to or can't keep your flowers, they will donate what they can to shelters!

    Exceptional wedding florist!

    Philippa was absolutely wonderful to work with! From our first meeting until the wedding day, she made the entire process of choosing our floral arrangements so fun and easy. She is very responsive and really listened to my vision and made my wedding dreams come true! On the day of the wedding, when we decided to take photos during the surprising snow storm, she created a second bouquet for me to take outside in order to preserve the one I would walk down the aisle with. Her warmth, kindness, and love for what she does comes out in every way and I would love the opportunity to work with her again in the future! She truly goes above and beyond!

    Spectacular Flowers

    Philippa and her team did the flowers for our wedding and they were stunning beyond measure. Floral design is truly an art form and Philippa is a giant within the industry. We wanted lush, seasonal, autumn florals and she delivered 100%.

    My wedding was this past weekend and I can't stop looking at the photos from the day. The flowers were spectacular!!! I couldn't have asked for a better florist. Phillippa matched my colors and then added her own creativity to create arrangements so gorgeous that everyone was talking about them at the wedding. My wedding planner even said to me that my bouquet of coral peonies was the most beautiful bouquet she'd ever seen (and she's done a lot of weddings)... If you are getting married, meet with Phillippa and see what she is capable of doing. You will not be disappointed. She is a phenomenal florist! And she is truly so sweet and accommodating. I was even able to arrange for her team to bring flowers from the wedding to the hotel where we held the brunch the next day so we could use the arrangments again. I don't think I could rank a vendor any higher. The flowers she put together for the wedding will always be one of the many highlights of the day. Perfection!

    Highly recommend

    Philippa was wonderful to work with and very responsive throughout the process. She was respectful of our relatively small floral budget while still creating absolutely stunning bouquets and arrangements. We were so happy with how our flowers turned out, and they handled the logistics for the day of the wedding without a problem.

    Fall flowers with Philippa

    Philippa and her team are excellent. Our wedding flowers were all we could’ve wanted and more. She was able to take our vision and turn it into something stunning. We were so happy with how it all turned out. She was able to work quickly when we realized were short two boutonnières to ensure we had all we needed. We highly recommend her! I’ve never seen more beautiful arrangements!

    Everything I wanted

    Philippa did such an amazing job. She's very knowledgeable and will guide you based on your budget. I LOVED my bouquet. Instead of a standing arch we had flowers arched on the wall. It was amazing. I loved all of it and can't wait to see it all again when I get my wedding pictures.

    Wow, just wow!

    Knowing very little about floral design, I came in with a few photos and Philippa created magic. From my anemone bouquet to coordinate with my black and white dress, to the pink flowers (including cherry blossoms), Philippa made the wedding beyond magnificent!

    Stunning flowers at a reasonable price

    My now-husband and I ranked how we wanted to spend money on our wedding . . . and flowers came in at the bottom. Our wedding planner recommended Philippa as someone who could do a lot with a little. We were very upfront with Philippa that we were looking to be frugal and wanted only a simple white and green color scheme. Our only special requests were that the bridal bouquet and groom's boutonniere incorporate rosemary and calla lillies. Otherwise, we left it up to her. Our floral displays ended up being exquisite and luxurious. (We ordered two large displays for the church; one large arrangement for the entry to the reception; small table arrangements; various corsages and boutonnieres; and an absolutely adorable flower crown.) She's obviously capable of crafting the most over the top florals any bride could dream up, so I'm very grateful she used those skills to give us such lovely flowers.

    Wonderful Service!

    I worked with Karen from Philippa Tarrant and it was a breeze. I did not have a large budget for flowers and therefore my needs were pretty basic but they really nailed it. Since it was a relatively small order we were able to get everything done via email. I sent her photos of what I liked and the outcome was perfect. For my centerpieces, we had candles and eucalyptus and she provided the mix of eucalyptus and matched the cost I found online. Delivery was also very easy.

    Philippa and her team are the BEST

    Philippa and her team (Danny, Fernanda, Rachel, Karen, Sean, and MORE!) are the best in the business, no question. I wasn't totally sure what I wanted my wedding day flowers to look like (specifically, my chuppah) and Philippa hashed out every idea she had until we came to the right design. Philippa and her team are unapologetically themselves and hilarious to boot. They are so committed to their clients and always ensure that everyone is happy. On my wedding day I couldn't wait to see her and her team and give them huge hugs! My bridesmaids all took their bouquets home at the end of the night because they couldn't let go of them! I did the same, my bridal bouquet was absolutely perfect- size, shape, color, and actual flowers and greenery. If you can dream it, Philippa and her team can make it happen.

    Amazing experience with Philippa Tarrant!

    When my wedding planner and I met with Karen for our first meeting I knew she/Philippa were the perfect choice for my wedding. Karen helped take my ideas and mold them in to a vision. I had an idea of what I wanted for my wedding day but was unsure how execute those ideas.

    They did sample arrangements for my tasting at my venue (which I highly recommend! Thanks for that Karen!) I was very excited with what I saw! Karen and I had a phone call after I saw the arrangements to discuss everything about them and make any tweaks for the big day.

    When my flowers showed up on my wedding day I actually cried. They were EXACTLY what I wanted. I kept telling Karen “I want a fall feel”, well she and Philippa delivered! My mom is a horticulturist and I knew she may be critical of any flowers I chose....and I have to say my mom is still raving about the centerpieces and bouquets! I would hire them all over again! ❤️

    The centerpieces for our 50th wedding anniversary, held at a contemporary art venue, were spectacular. Unique, elegant, and artistic; unusual calla lilies and deep purple orchids. Karen has an expert knack for striking, tasteful, contemporary design. Prices were reasonable; service was excellent. I would use this firm again in a heartbeat.

    We had an excellent experience with Philippa. She was very familiar with the Women's Museum venue and knew what would work there. She was always responsive, even when she was on vacation and best of all she was super flexible. My daughter was concerned about budget and ensuring that the arrangements were understated. Philippa did an exceptional job and navigated what we wanted, what our daughter wanted and what her in laws wanted. The final outcome was beautiful. She had great suggestions and accommodated last minute changes. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Philippa!

    Philippa is a phenomenal florist and person. I highly recommend her, as she helped me create my wedding day vision and flawlessly executed it with her team. We had met with another florist in the area prior to meeting Philippa, and Philippa’s recommendations for my vision and venue setting were much more helpful and elegant. She is really great to work with and very responsive, even when on vacation.
    The quality of the flowers, bouquets, and flower wall was amazing, all were gorgeous, and we received many compliments. You can also rent candleabras and other style accessories. My family and I were very happy with Philippa.

    The vision that Philippa created with flowers for our wedding was absolutely beautiful. I gave a simple description of what I was looking for and she brought it to life and it was even more than I had thought of. She was easy to work with and quickly understood what I was looking for. I was looking for a simple and elegant/classic look and she created that even more beautifully than I had envisioned. Highly recommend!

    I can not thank Philippa enough for the gorgeous flowers that she did for our wedding. I was looking for something that was creative, elegant, and not your usual wedding flowers. She completely delivered! The flowers were everything that I was hoping for; from the chuppah (in which she incorporated some heirloom lace fabric) to the dining tables, to a floral sculpture on the escort card table, everything was done with purpose and thought. The bouquets and boutonniers were contemporary and perfect for our very formal winter wedding. Thank you so much Philippa, you were wonderful to work with!

    I absolutely LOVED working with Philippa!!! I booked her three weeks before my wedding, right around the holidays and she was a gem. She had great ideas and gave me the confidence that my vision would come together. She was calm and not pushy at all. The day of when I saw the ballroom it surpassed my expectations! I received so many compliments on the centerpieces. I can't wait to use her for another occasion and tell others about her wonderful service! I can't say enough great things about the entire experience!

    I was the opposite of a Pinterest bride. When my partner and I sat down to talk to Philippa about flowers for our wedding, I hadn't narrowed down a color scheme, a style, or even types of flowers. Instead of being fazed or frustrated, Philippa cheerily began pulling up pictures and asking really helpful, concrete questions that helped us clarify what we wanted. The designs Philippa came up with were not only stunning and unique, but brought a visual coherence to our ceremony that was just gorgeous. She's pretty awesome.

    Philippa took the small inklings of a floral scheme I had and translated it into a gorgeous vision that still fit in our budget. I highly recommend her for her creativity, her attention to detail and her wit and humor!

    We absolutely loved the flowers for our wedding done by Philippa Tarrant. They were more beautiful than we had imagined. I went to meet Philippa and she spent about an hour we me talking about what our wedding was going to be like and what we had in mind for flowers. She made several great suggestions for looks and flowers we wanted to use. She also had several books of her work to look through. We ended up having an interesting conversation about how she became a floral designer among other topics. She was very personable. Her work definitely stood out from other floral designers. I could tell she loved flowers and what she did. As our wedding drew near, and changes to our flowers needed to be made, she was both flexible and accommodating. Many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the flowers were. Philippa Tarrant is a true artist. What she added to our wedding with her floral design was special and memorable. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
