About Bittersweet Gardens

Julie Raymond

Founder

Whether planning a wedding or a special event, Bittersweet Gardens caters to the customer experience and vision, delivering inspired, field-to-vase floral arrangements, tablescapes, wedding bouquets and centerpieces. From a young age, I was constantly foraging flowers from the woods and raiding my mother's colorful zinnia beds. After ditching a career in political science, I decided to wake up and smell the roses (bad pun intended) and took up graduate work in horticulture at UMass Amherst and landscape design studies at Radcliffe.

    Julie and her team are amazing and a dream to work with. Julie makes the entire planning process easy, and effortlessly brought my vision to life! For the amazing work she and her team do, and the quality of flowers they provide, they were affordable and could accommodate all of my specific requests no questions asked. I could not recommend her and her team enough!!!

    Julie was an absolute pleasure to work with and would highly recommend for wedding florals. She took the time to meet with me at her studio a month before our wedding to finalize the vision and talk through any edits and then later prepared a personalized design doc with all the necessary details. I was blown away when I saw the florals on our wedding day. It made the day that much more special!
