Ashleigh's Garden - Deep River, Connecticut

Used Ashleigh’s garden for my wedding on 9/29/2023 and couldn’t have been happier. The florals first of all, are breathtaking. Allyson really brought my vision to life and we got so many compliments on our centerpieces. I also found out after the wedding that Allyson pretty much saved the look of the ceremony. I guess there was some confusion with my wedding coordinator and she didn’t know I wanted an arch. Allyson stepped in and made the arch come to life! The ceremony ended up being beautiful. Not to mention, their prices are very affordable for what you get. Would go with Ashleigh’s garden again in a heartbeat. Thank you Allyson for all you do!

I hired Ashleigh's Garden for my wedding on July 13, 2023. They provided the most beautiful arrangements for everything I needed and delivered and displayed them wiithout any issues. From the very first email I sent reaching out, the entire experience working with Ashleigh's Garden was so wholesome and enjoyable. The entire staff is so kind and personable. They really take into account everything you're envisioning and provide exactly what you're asking for. I had a specific budget and they worked closely with me to stay within it and still provide my dream arrangements. This is a florist shop that truly want the best for the customers and it shows in everything they do. I highly recommend using them for all of your floral needs!! And if you're fortunate enough to stop by there in person, you'll get to encounter the best animals 🙂

Allison at Ashleigh's Garden and her entire team are amazing. I used her for my wedding and everything came out picture perfect. My bouquet was EXACTLY as I had envisioned, as were my centerpieces. I was planning everything and communicating from another country so I had to use email a lot and Allison always responded in a timely manner. But what was great was the fact that I kept realizing I needed things that Ihad forgotten about (eucalytus for the sweetheart table, flowers on my arbor) and she was able to add them on without issue.
Thanks again!

I have really mixed opinions on this vendor and am having a hard time writing this - It is a long review but I hope that couples read it for my experience.
She was by far my most difficult vendor and required a lot of baby sitting. That being said she achieved my vision and the day was flawless.

It took a month and a half to get her to respond to a request for an estimate and start the initial conversations. The venue recommended her so I wanted to give it a shot. We had a great in-person discussion and made some great suggestions to use my budget efficiently. I was having a multi-day wedding so I really wanted to work with her on having long lasting arrangements. I gave the deposit in March for my October wedding.

June roles around and I haven't heard from her in a while, not going through this experience before I reach out asking when we meet for next steps. She said she doesn't usually meet with brides again unless they need clarification on what the flowers look like so we're good. It's September, a month out from the wedding and she reaches out asking if I went with another florist because my deposit isn't filed in my records. I send the receipt and say no she's still my plan as evidence of my receipt. She comes back vaguely saying I've ghosted her since March. I lay out the details of our communications since day one and that I reached out in June and she said we were good. She responds defensively and rudely to me, basically saying why am I coming at her with animosity when she was just checking in. If it was just checking in, this wasn't the right way to go about it, because it sent me into thinking I have to start from scratch for my wedding. My mom calls the overarching business (it's one of three on this plot of land) she gets in touch with someone else who assures us that we're on track for my wedding and that she acknowledges the approach with this was unprofessional.

We eventually get back on track and I create for myself an itemized invoice of my asks and I continue this throughout the remainder of the process. To this day, I still never received an actual invoice from the vendor, just paid accordingly to my own invoice.

The final month of planning goes well and the delivery was perfect. The arrangements were beautiful and struck the balance of whimsy, long-lasting arrangments, and a natural feel. It's nearly a month after my wedding now and I still have arrangements that look beautiful in my home.

---TLDR: She came through and did a great job with the arrangements and delivery. I have beautiful, long lasting flowers that met my vision. BUT it took a lot of hand-holding along the way, as a bride I didn't expect to have to be in the driver's seat, project managing this vendor. Other reviews will also note she has an ego and can be defensive (since it came as a rec from the vendor and I met her at one of their open houses I never looked).---

We ordered a bouquet and boutonniere from here for our small wedding this past weekend. Everyone we worked with was so incredibly nice and accommodating. They're also a green florist (they compost, recycle, and repurpose) which is something that is really important to me and my husband. Highly recommend supporting this florist! 🙂

Ashleighs garden made the flowers for my wedding and everything was absolutely gorgeous! They took the vision I had in my head and made it come to life. I couldn’t have been more happy with their service, attention and talent.

Allison and her team were phenomenal! The pre-planning process was very easy going and there was a constant stream of free-flowing collaboration discussing ideas and color schemes. The team was diligent and executed our vision perfectly. We fully trusted them to pick which types of flowers and blooms to fit our special day. We told them what color palate and let them run with the creation, design and execution of the flowers for our wedding and their taste was impeccable.

The delivery the day of the wedding was spot on without any issues. They customized a ceremony arch, staircase garland, bouquet, boutonniere, centerpieces and other arrangements and everything was BEAUTIFUL!
