Autumn Marcelle Design has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Autumn's communication with all vendors and clients is excellent - she is clear, thorough, and takes the time to educate on any unclear details or processes. The quality of their work is truly amazing, showcasing incredible value and consistency.

Welcome. Karla has been an artist for as long as she has been alive. It all started when she was in preschool and thought that painting another pre-school student with paint was fun. Unfortunately, she got sent home that day, but the artist in her was born! Working with flowers, and making events beautiful for her clients, has provided Karla with an outlet that is very fulfilling for her. It creates a balance, and zen for her, which fills, balances, and feeds her soul.

Awarded Best of Zola
Karla did a wonderful job capturing our vision. Wow! I loved the different floral pieces. I wanted something simple but elegant for the tables, and some more dramatic pieces for our sweetheart table, ceremony arch, and aisle. She was so great at guiding me through this process and did so much within my budget! I would highly recommend her. Such a delight to work with!

Paisley's Garden

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Carmel, CA

Hey there! I’m Lauren, your new flower bestie. I am an artistic soul who appreciates every flower and every season. I believe in coming alongside you to bring your floral vision to life in a purposeful, detail oriented way.

Lauren was incredible. I had hired a different florist who had to cancel about 2 months before my wedding. Lauren had been recommended to me by the baker for our cake and she was able. Immediately it was clear that floral designs are her gift. She created a floral vision board for my wedding based on the emails I had sent her describing my personal style and flower preferences, and also with photo examples of flowers I loved. The vision board was perfectly me, to a T. My bridal bouquet was so beautiful and smelled amazing. I carried it around with me all weekend and made room for it in my overpacked luggage to bring home so I could press the flowers! My friends also loved their bouquets, my mother LOVED her gold band corsage, and the boutonnières for the guys were the perfect compliments to everything else! She was so very sweet and accommodating, when I expressed concern for costs she very kindly worked with me to find a budget and also give me amazing florals. She even worked with my reception venue to add flowers to an Ivy wall which turned out AMAZING. My flowers were one of my most favorite pets of my wedding! I cannot recommend Lauren enough - I promise you’ll be so happy you hired Paisley’s!!

Offering al la carte and full service design, with delivery and set up to assure your day is stress free.

I cannot recommend Courtney and Quaintrelle Farms enough! From start to finish, working with her was an absolute dream. Our wedding was on November 10th, which is a bit tricky when it comes to flower availability, but Courtney pulled it off with ease, creating the most stunning arrangements from flowers she grew locally. Every bloom was beautiful and unique, and she perfectly captured the vision we had for our day. Courtney handled all the florals for our ceremony, reception, bridal bouquets, and boutonnieres, and everything was just breathtaking. The flowers were not only gorgeous, but they added such a personal, local touch to our celebration. I was also lucky enough to have Courtney create a headpiece for me, and let me tell you—it was magical! It made me feel like a druid high elf, and I couldn’t stop looking at it. She also made the sweetest flower crowns for our niece and nephew, which were just adorable and really added a special touch to their outfits. One of the things I’m most excited about is that Courtney also does pressed flower art, and she’s currently working on a piece with flowers from my bridal bouquet. I can’t wait to see how it turns out—what a perfect way to preserve such a meaningful part of our day. Courtney’s talent, creativity, and passion for what she does are unparalleled. If you're looking for a florist who not only provides beautiful, high-quality flowers but also puts heart and soul into everything she creates, look no further than Quaintrelle Farms. Thank you, Courtney, for making our wedding day even more magical!
