We were blown away by all the care and beautiful arrangements Carla made for our wedding. She worked with us to keep our costs down, loaning us items, adding candles, and reusing what she could from previous events. She went the extra mile by allowing our guests to take many of the table arrangements home with them which was extra special to our family that lived nearby. Carla thought of details and floral locations that only someone in the industry would know, down to what flowers wilt too soon and how to reuse items from the ceremony later at the reception. She will be brutally honest with you, but I promise you'll be so happy with her artful work. If you spend any amount of time talking with her you'll realize how in depth her knowledge is, she really knows her stuff! We're so happy she was able to arrange our flowers for us. Thank you, Carla!

Carla did a beautiful job at our wedding! I was blown away and my guests are still commenting on the florals. I explained my theme/vision and she absolutely nailed it. She’s an expert and a true artist.

Carla put together the most beautiful table arrangements for our son’s rehearsal dinner. They enhanced the room and the celebration and we received so many compliments. Will ABSOLUTELY be using her again!

Carla did an absolutely fantastic job arranging a birthday bouquet I had requested. She communicated often and worked with me every step of the way to make the experience seamless. It came wrapped beautifully and traveled from Connecticut to Vermont with ease! Made such a lovely gift that was so appreciated by everyone who saw it. Could not recommend her or Elements more.

I have worked with Carla for many years, and have always been impressed with the quality of her work. When she agreed to come to Charleston, SC to do the flowers for my destination wedding I was thrilled! I was absolutely over the moon with the results. She worked closely with local suppliers to source exactly what I wanted, the prettiest peachy/pink/blush flowers I have ever seen. She hand-picked the wooden poles that were used for the arbor she made for our beach ceremony. She is also incredibly talented at lighting design. We had open air bistro lights for the ceremony, and we would not have been able to do it without her. I highly recommend her services, you will not be disappointed. As soon as I receive pictures from my photographer I will upload them onto this review. Thank you again Carla! Attached are some of my wedding photos courteous of Kaitlin Scott Photography

Carla is a master designer who creates the most beautiful arrangements with every size budget. From farm style to elegant, she captures the vibe. My extended family in Lyme and Old Lyme has been working with Carla for many years - she is super flexible, creative and has the highest quality flowers and greenery - the freshest always. She goes the extra mile to make sure her clients are getting exactly what they want and need - and has lent us many a vase to make sure we could stay in budget with the most beautiful flowers.
Most of all, Carla is great fun to work with and someone we depend on for our flower needs.

I ordered a funeral arrangement through From You Flowers for my Grandfathers service 10 days prior to the date of the service and never received the flowers that they insisted were delivered. I spent way too much time arguing with someone in a warehouse in god knows what country, and they offered no resolution outside of FINALLY issuing me a refund, which still left me flowerless for the service the next day.

My husband searched local florists on a whim (mainly due to my PURE PANIC at the thought of not being able to appropriately honor my Grandfather with the arrangement I had planned to furnish at the church) and actually got an answer on Labor Day of all days. I was certain no one would be able to help, nevertheless answer the phone on a holiday!

Carla was more than gracious in hearing my woes and immediately offered up a solution that could be ready the next morning. She offered to go to multiple locations to gather the masculine floral colors I had hoped for, and made my potential worst nightmare turn into a beautiful blessing. She agreed to meet me close to my own home early the next morning and showed up with a stunning basket arrangement that ended up being the centerpiece of my Grandfather’s last goodbye. Carla saved the day, the arrangement was more beautiful than I could have hoped for.

I certainly learned my lesson, don’t bother trying to save a few bucks by counting on one of those large chain floral suppliers to deliver when you have such a helpful and genuinely talented floral designer right in your own backyard. Elements is my new “go to” source for everything floral, and I’ll tell everyone I know to call Carla before anyone else!

Thanks a million Carla for saving the day, and also for your light hearted humor to help calm this borderline “over the edge” Granddaughter in her moment of panic!

After my father passed, the flowers created for his service (on relatively short notice) truly captured his love of nature in a breathtaking yet understated way. The flowers delivered to friends for Thanksgiving this week were simply perfect! Exceptional value!
