    StrayCat is exactly what I was looking for in a florist. We ordered our bouquets, boutonnieres, and then several buckets of seasonal buds and greenery for us to decorate the barn with. Diana hopped on a call with me to chat about what I was thinking, from colors to inspiration and more. She was incredibly helpful - I wasn’t quite sure how to describe what I was thinking, but thanks to her prowess and Pinterest, she was able to get out what was in my head. And, thanks to her and her team, the flowers were GORGEOUS. Picking them up was such a delight and thinking about it still makes me smile. Diana was also able to provide some really great instructions for how to use the bulk buckets for bud vases and table runners: the result was absolutely breathtaking. Six months earlier, I had almost given up on having flowers at our wedding, and I feel so, so fortunate to have found StrayCat. Cannot recommend them enough.

    Hi Kait ~ Thanks so much for your kind words & taking time to post! Your input made it easy for us to provide just what you had in mind. We specialize in 'hybrid' weddings like yours. Lots of folks really enjoy the DIY aspect of putting together their own reception flowers. It's a great mixer for family & friends, whether they're experienced at floral design or just want a casual 'meet & greet' activity to have fun with.
    Cheers ~ Diana

    I really enjoyed working with StrayCat Flower Farm. I had a very tight timeline and the staff was extremely willing to work with a speedy turnaround and my budget restrictions. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and highly complimented by my wedding guests. I knew I had nothing to worry about working with StrayCat Flower Farm.

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Glad we got to help you out and provide just what you asked for! I loved your color palette of soft blues, violets, and silver grey. One of my favorite flowers that we grow is sky-blue nigella; it's almost turquoise, a rare color in the flower world. Cheers to you and Seth for indulging my love of blue blooms!

    The flowers Stray Cat provided for our wedding were so fresh, delicately beautiful and lasted a long time! I had asked for bouquets, boutonnieres, and two large ceremony arrangements, plus three buckets of stem flowers for my family to work with, and everything was better than what I had expected. When we had our (several) phone calls about what my vision was and what was in season, it was hard for me to articulate my ideas - I am not a florist! Stray Cat heard what I was trying to say and I got arrangements that were special and elegant, with a hint of woods-fairy.

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Emily ~ So glad we got to work with you & Tim, and especially happy to hear that your family was pleased as well. I loved your vision (seasonal, botanical, woodsy) - that's our specialty!
    Cheers ~

    We had stray cat do the flowers for our wedding! They designed our bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. They were all organic, romantic and beautiful! We bought bulk flowers to arrange ourselves, and they were very helpful with advising us on quantity and variety. I would recommend StrayCat to ANYONE in Vermont. Thank you!!

    Hannah ~ Beautiful photos, thank you so much for posting! We love doing weddings at Isham Family Farm.

    Looking for beautiful flowers and spectacular service? StrayCat Flower Farm offers both in spades.

    Not only did Kate and the folks at StrayCat spent countless hours (and emails) thinking through options that fit within our budget, they even offered up creative solutions that saved us money and time. StrayCat made the planning process fun and easy, and the final output was phenomenal: the centerpieces and bouquets and ceremony arrangements provided the foundation for the warm, elegant affair we had envisioned.

    StrayCat brought so much beauty in so many ways to our big day. We consider ourselves lucky to have had the chance to work with these wonderful people who crafted every item with care (and local flowers, to boot).

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Hey Michelle ~ thanks so much for taking the time to share such lovely feedback with us, we really appreciate it. Best Wishes to you and Andrew!

    Stray Cat was awesome to work with! We bought bulk flowers from them to make our arrangements ourselves and they created our bouquets. The flowers they provided were beautiful, in season and mostly local. We were able to make really nice centerpieces that had a wildflower look, which is exactly what I wanted.

    The staff at Stray Cat was professional, courteous, and responded in a timely manner which helped so much with planning. If you're able to visit the farm, I'd encourage it! It's really neat to see where everything is grown!

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Claire ~ your lovely story captures what we do best as growers and designers. You get the best of both worlds!

    Stray Cat is able to work with weddings that are more "do it yourself." We were able to get two buckets of different flowers from them, which went a long way in filling the jars for our centerpieces. Pick up was easy and the staff was very nice! Always answered our questions quickly and made everything stress-free!

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    DIY weddings are really gaining momentum, so glad you enjoyed your experience with us!

    Great local burlington option for DIY flowers. I was on a budget and happy to arrange my own flowers. I gave them a color palette and they delivered a beautiful bucket of flowers for me to work with.

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    We're happy the DIY/Bulk flowers option worked out for you, too! Good to hear from you.

    Diana "DD" Doll was great to work with! We met at the office and went over what I liked. I gave her some pictures of what I wanted and looked through her portfolio. I also showed her a couch that we wanted the colors to go with and later emailed her with the color of my shoes to incorporate as well. We also purchased some flowers in bulk to decorate our arch with. The flowers were gorgeous! Exactly what I wanted and very close to the photo I had provided in color and form (the exactly flowers were a little different, which was expected). Putting our own arch together the morning of our wedding was a little stressful, but we saved money doing it ourselves and it came out great! I was very happy to find a vendor that does such great work and was willing to work with a very small order (bouquet, 2 corsages, boutonniere and bulk flowers).

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Brandy ~ it was a pleasure working with you, too! Thanks so much.

    DD at StrayCat was wonderful! We really wanted to keep our floral arrangements low-key and natural since we got married in a beautiful outdoor setting and she was great about not overselling us or trying to get us to do more than we wanted. We ordered mostly bulk, in-season flowers and admittedly were a little shocked to get a lot of pinks and purples (our colors were yellow, white, and green) but it actually looked beautiful so we were very pleased in the end. My bouquet was STUNNING and so lush- I wanted to keep it alive forever! DD was also very flexible when we had a change in our order and was great about responding to emails. She helped our day look gorgeous!

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Hi Pamela - so glad everything turned out well for you. Thank you for your positive comments.

    We ordered buckets of flowers and had family members and our day of coordinator put them together for bouquets and centerpieces on the day of. The flowers were gorgeous, fresh and affordable.

    had the absolute pleasure of working with stray cat flowers back in February in planning a blessingway for a friend. The entire process from start to finish was superb. Diana helped bring my visions to life and made the most stunning arrangements, which included an incredible floral crown. I highly recommend Stray Cat flowers. I think the pricing was competitive and you get what you pay for here— quality and creativity! The entire experience was easy and pleasant, the flowers were fresh and lovely, what more could you ask for?

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Hey Devon ~ so sweet of you to share your experience! Your input was an important piece of the design process, so thanks for that. Cheers!

    Amazing place for flowers! We did a DIY/ready to go combo in which they made our bouquets and bridal party items and then provided bulk wildflowers for us to make the table pieces. Everything was gorgeous and they were so friendly and helpful to work with!

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Kristin ~ thanks you for your kind words. We love taking your vision and making it come to life! 'Combo' weddings are our specialty.

    Cannot say enough about the ladies at Stray Cat. My bouquet was Gorgeous! Absolutely exceeded my expectations. They worked some unique elements in to my bouquet and I had so many compliments on it. A true masterpiece.

    Diana and her team at StrayCat Flower Farm were amazing! I was planning a wedding from outside the country, and so you can imagine what a special case it was for Diana and myself to try and send each other images of flowers over email! By the time the wedding came up, I had no idea what to expect for flowers, not knowing too many flower names myself. All I knew is that I didn't want purple, and that however she wanted to involve orange, yellows, peachy-reds, and white with greenery and I would be happy. The end result floored me! My bride bouquet was ENORMOUS, well planned, and bursting with every color I asked in perfect taste. The bridesmaids bouquets were smaller versions of my bouquet. The groomsmen and corsages for the mothers were made with the clever, delicious smelling edition of fresh sprigs of Rosemary and dashes of color from the bouquets. The two floor flower arrangements we set up at the altar were festive, tall, and enough color that I felt like any more flowers in the chapel would have been over-doing it. We declined to add flowers to the reception in place of picking marigolds out of my sister-in-law's garden, but the affordable DIY option of buying blooms from StrayCat and assembling centerpiece arrangements ourselves was our original thought. I have heard from other brides that this option works well. StrayCat also offers arranged centerpieces that I'm sure are breath-taking given the beauty and creativity I got to see in our bridal party flowers. I only knock a star off of Responsiveness because I had trouble getting an official final invoice for a receipt of payment. I blame hurricane Irene the most for that. It definitely hurt a lot of Vermont vendors for the wedding season. Basically, if you pick StrayCat, you are in for an easy time. Trust Diana and her people. They know what they're doing!

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Hi Alicia ~ you provided the vision for us to work with, great to hear you were pleased with the result! Hurricane Irma did set us back, pardon the delay on that receipt.

    I had a great experience working with StrayCat. They are an incredibly talented group of women, who have an incredible eye for beautiful arrangements. I was working with them from across the country, so at times it was challenging to connect and plan. But I would highly recommend them to anyone. Support Vermont business! These women know what they're doing.

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Karen ~ Glad you loved the flowers, and thanks for your patience with the long-distance planning process. Bliss Ridge is one of our favorite venues. Cheers to you & Alex!

    Stray Cat brought my wedding vision to life with ease, at a great price, and with precision. Everyone was impressed, and best of all they caused me very little stress during wedding planning! Will use Straycat for all events moving forward.

    StrayCat may not have been the most timely when it came to replying to emails and were a bit late showing up for meetings, but I was over the moon about the flowers when I saw them on my wedding day! StrayCat provided the most amazing, beautiful, and wildly unique arrangements - from the bridal bouquets to the boutonnieres to the ceremony arrangements - everything was just so gorgeous and amazing. They took my "wish list" of flowers, feathers, and antlers and exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier with my choice. The flowers were some of my favorite elements of the wedding day!

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    We were over the moon as well, loved your vision! Thanks for your kind remarks (and for the nudge about meeting times...working on it!)

    I had a very nice experience working with Diana, Kate and the rest of the team at Stray Cat. The flowers were lovely and Diana was great at accommodating some last minute changes in our wedding day schedule that we found out about the week of the wedding. They were also great at re-using pieces from the ceremony at the reception so that we could stay on budget. Thanks guys!

    StrayCat Flower Farm's reply:

    Sarah ~ Re-purposing ceremony pieces for the reception is always a good idea. Best wishes to you and Ivan!

    Perfect for DIY

    I chose to do the DIY option for my bridesmaids bouquets and the groomsmen boutonnieres. I simply ordered 100 stems of wildflowers. I thought there would be much more than there were. This was basically only 100 flowers. Which equates to 2 one gallon buckets. Fortunately, I had gotten baby's breath elsewhere and there were plenty of flowers in the end. I had Dianna make my bouquet and the grooms boutonniere. They were both lovely. I sent her photos of what I had wanted and she did amazing. We chose to pick our flowers up, I am unsure if there is an option to deliver but if that's something you're looking for I would make sure to verify.

    Disappointing experience with new management

    I had a very long engagement, and initially hired Stray Cat (for my wedding flowers. A few months before the wedding I reached out to the business email/phone to check in, but received no response back for several weeks and found the business inboxes full. After some internet sleuthing, I discovered the farm had been purchased and the new owners were responsible for 1) not communicating the change in ownership and 2) the lack of responsiveness. In the end I was able to obtain another florists' services and would not recommend working with the new florists who own this farm.
