Becca P. Sent on 08/27/2020Polly is just so talented and sweet!
Polly is incredibly talented and so knowledgable about flowers. I was amazed that the first time I sat down with her, she already had the exact flowers in mind that I wanted and was sketching beautiful mock-ups of my wedding bouquet! She is always good at responding to calls or emails. Polly is also so, so sweet and made a point to show up for my micro-wedding so she could personally hand me my bouquet and wish me well. It meant the world to me to see her, even though I knew she had a busy day. I am really looking forward to working with Polly again next year for our bigger wedding event! -

We can not recommend Polly highly enough! There are not enough words. When we first met with her, she took the time to truly "get" my daughter's vision for her wedding day and then Polly made that vision become a reality. Whatever you decide to invest in flowers for your big day, it will appear as if you spent ten times more by the time she's done. I've worked with a lot of floral designers over the years and Polly's talent and commitment to detail are beyond match. Multitudes of guests told us Polly's creations were the most beautiful flowers they'd ever seen. Be sure to ask her for suggestions and listen to her ideas because her artistic eye is genius! We showed Polly a picture of a floral drape and asked her to make something similar. Her's was spectacular! So much better than the photo. I was delighted the day of our wedding. Polly added so many little touches we didn't discuss, but she saw the need for as she was setting up. They were the exact details I would have asked her to do if I was standing next to her while she was working. Absolutely delighted! We are so thrilled with the beyond gorgeous florals in the chapel and the reception for our big day. As my daughter accurately said, "Polly was the MVP of this wedding!" Amazing! We are so appreciative! -

User2231664 Sent on 07/18/2015Polly McCarthy who runs Poppies floral is an amazingly talented florist. She knows how to put plants and flowers together in a way I would have never thought of.
Seriously, leave the ball in her court and she can work wonders! Thanks for the yellow chrysanthemum bouquet, and I encourage everyone to use the tea light tree branch decor she puts together. -
User2005599 Sent on 01/11/2015Polly was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We were married at the Basilica and had our reception at the Morris Inn. I (bride) did not go to Notre Dame, nor was I from the area, so a knowledgeable vendor was key. Polly had worked at both venues plenty of times and even gave me some tips. When we sat with Polly her passion for flowers, knowledge of Notre Dame, and impressive photobooks made it clear to us she would be perfect.
Polly had my fiancé and I flip through photobooks of floral arrangements she had done and point out colors, designs, etc we liked. From that she sketched out 3 of 4 centerpieces and we both immediately liked them. She is very intuitive, professional and one of the kindest people you will ever meet! Throughout the planning process she was accessible and professional. We connected about a month before the wedding to go over logistics. It was very helpful and allowed me to feel very confident that our flowers would be great.
As it turns out the flowers were one of my favorite parts of the wedding I received countless compliments on not only the centerpieces, but also our bouquets. Polly added personal touches on the place card table and guest book table and it looked fabulous. She is truly a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend her!

The centerpieces and bouquets were just so beautiful and worth every cent! We never had to worry about any kind of transporting of flowers or setting up- she did it all and it was done PERFECTLY!!!! I had TONS of compliments and was so happy with how it all turned out! THANK YOU, POLLY!

Aubrey Sent on 10/15/2013Working with Polly was so amazing. She is the most talented florist I have ever seen. The flowers and the decorations far exceeded any expectations I had. We had our wedding at Willow Harbor Vineyard and Polly made everything so perfect. Not only was she great to work with, she was incredibly easy to work with. Her creativity blew my mind.
Polly, thank you for being so wonderful!

Lauren Sent on 05/29/2012Polly was amazing! She took my ideas and pictures from the knot and pinterest and turned it into something cohesive and beautiful! Really professional. She believes in the value of her name. Everyone asked me where I got the flowers, I proudly said Poppies!!! -
User1769449 Sent on 08/18/2014Polly did the flowers for my wedding and I highly recommend her! I live out of town, and planning for the wedding was really difficult, especially in terms of finding reliable vendors. Everywhere we went, when asking for recommendations for flowers, everyone said Poppies by Polly McCarthy was the best in town. We were so happy with the work she did and are glad we chose her! The flowers were stunning and her pricing was very reasonable.
I am not especially informed or opinionated about flowers, but after meeting with Polly and showing her pictures of things I liked, she was able to create beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and center pieces. Many guests commented on how beautiful the center pieces were. I also loved how she took care of the details - including buying candles so we didn't have to worry about it. My bridal party appreciated how Polly sends a worker to the location of the ceremony to help the men with their boutonnieres and to drop off the bouquets. One less thing for us to worry about!
The only drawback is that Polly does not have a website. I had to flip through many physical albums to look at pictures of varying quality to point out flowers or looks I liked or didn't like which could be tough for out of town brides. I wish that process had been a little easier, and I think if there was a website with more pictures of past events available online and different varieties of the flowers she uses by color, that would have been very helpful for people like me who don't know much about flowers. For example, since our flower girls were not allowed to throw petals, Polly suggested flower wands. She didn't have many pictures available of flower wands she had created, and that wasn't a concept I was familiar with, so we had to trust her. That said, they were adorable and perfect for the girls. I'd also recommend contacting her via phone rather than email.
