Working with Cydney on the perfect look for my wedding was so much fun! She has the most amazing personality and is unbelievable at what she does. Flowers weren't exactly my thing, and she helped me develop a vision and executed it perfectly. She offered so many wonderful suggestions and so many options to help us achieve our look. She designed a plan around our budget and made sure that every aspect of the ceremony and reception were perfectly decorated. I would highly recommend Cydney and The English Garden and I can't wait until the next time I get another occasion to work with her!

We looked at a lot of different florists before making a decision and went with the English Garden because we felt they offered the best service and value. They were really professional and very quick in their responses to my questions. They were also very creative and helped me bring together my overall look with flowers and linens. I enjoyed working with them very much. They made the process very easy and the end result was truly beautiful and exactly what my fiance and I wanted.

The English Garden was superb! They completely exceeded all of my expectations for my wedding. I wouldn't have changed a single thing they did. They also met with me a few times along the way for consultations to be sure they captured my vision perfectly.

If I could give Cydney and her staff at The English Garden a rating higher than 5 stars, I would. I tend to be a bit of a control freak, and the flowers for our wedding were pretty high on the priority list for me. Complicating matters was the fact that we were working with a small budget. Having seen Cydney's work at my sister's wedding, I knew I wanted her to work her magic on ours. Despite my natural tendency, the only criteria I gave her was color. I left all of the other details to her - flower types, table arrangements, etc. What she gave us was truly breathtaking. It started with the orchids for my hair in a beautiful purple that I'd never seen before, was followed by the bouquets bursting with gorgeous flowers in every shade of purple imaginable, and ended with the reception arrangements - subtle, but lovely collections of small glass vases on each table filled with a variety of purple flowers, floating candles and votives. For someone who's loved purple since she was old enough to distinguish the color, it was a dream come true.I should mention that everyone I met and dealt with at the shop was fantastic. Even if you don't deal with Cydney directly in every interaction, you're in very capable hands. I can't wait to come up with another excuse to call on The English Garden's floral genius!

Cydney and her team are absolutely wonderful to work with! She helped create a beautiful vision for our wedding, and everything turned out perfect! Cydney is passionate about what she does, and it translates into her flowers. The details she focused on were just wonderful, I would recommend The English Garden to anyone!

Cydney and her team were great to work with. She is someone who is so passionate about what she is doing, that you know your flowers are going to be perfect. I am not really a flower person, but I found pictures online that I liked and took them to her. My flowers for the wedding party as well as the venues were perfect. They were so beautiful, and actually were still alive and beautiful over a week later after we got back from our honeymoon. I would definitely recommend using them for ANY event especially a wedding!

I had a very small wedding, so at first I had thought of not even getting a professional bouquet done, but my mom insisted. I went to one florist near my work and they basically blew me off, I suppose because I only needed a few bouquets. My mom told me to call The English Garden. She was familiar with the English Garden through her work, because her company uses them for all their corporate flowers and big events. When I called, I was expecting to probably get a low key response like I did from the first florist I tried, but instead Julie was warm and welcoming to me on the phone. She recommended that I come in for a consultation. I met with Cydney, the owner, who professionally helped me work my way through all the available options. I was not an easy bride because I had no idea what I wanted, but Cydney patiently helped me pick a beautiful combination of flowers and really helped me form a true opinion about what I liked and didn't like. We talked through a variety of ideas that comfortably fit within my budget. Cydney was so responsible with how we budgeted for my flowers and she really helped me make wise choices that got me the biggest bang for the buck. The end result was perfect. The flowers were simply amazing and I could not have been happier. From the very beginning, the English Garden treated me like their most important and valued client as if my wedding was a large scale platinum one. Regardless of your wedding size, you should check out the English Garden. They are far and away the best florist in Raleigh.

Stupendous! Amazing! Fabulous! There are not words adequate to describe Cydney and her staff and the amazing work they did for our wedding. It was beyond our expectations but not beyond our budget. We could not have asked for more. In particular, I wanted a unique variety of rose and Cydney painstakingly worked to make sure that I had exactly what I wanted.

The English Garden was awesome! They made my wedding bouquet as the bridesmaids bouquets, boutonnieres, and wrist corsages. We gave them a budget which they stuck with while providing outstanding service! They were very communicative and the flowers were of amazing quality. They lasted all day and night without drooping and everyone commented on how beautiful they were!

Cydney was amazing to work with. If there is one thing I'll always remember about our wedding, it was our flowers. The centerpieces were just gorgeous and Cydney used our inspiration picture and created something just as beautiful, if not more gorgeous, that fit our budget. Cydney has the most fabulous creative eye and really listened to our ideas and was EXCITED about it. That's what makes her one of my favorite vendors.

I cannot say enough about the English Garden. Cydney and her staff went above and beyond my expectations. I wanted a much more expensive look than I could afford and Cydney worked tirelessly to find creative ways to help me stay within my budget while having the wedding look of my dreams. Cydney was so generous to me with her time and her wonderful ideas. She literally works round the clock, sometimes she would send emails at 3 in the morning after working at her florist all day. At every turn the English Garden proved to be one of the smartest choices I made in selecting wedding vendors.

The English Garden did an amazing job on our flowers. Cydney, the owner, is so creative and came up with so many ideas to make our wedding decor unique. I would highly recommend this florist.

Our flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined. Cydney was very easy and fun to work with. I showed her pictures and talked about what I had imagined in my head. I wanted alot of colorful flowers for my wedding, nothing white. I knew it was gonna be different and I was afraid that any florist would try to mute the colors I wanted. Cydney brought my imagination to life! The flowers were so bright and beautiful, it was better that I imagined. I would highly recommend working with Cydney. I was always so excited about my wedding after our meetings (there is no stress with Cydney).

Our flowers were breathtaking. I told Cydney just a little bit about what I wanted and she used her very creative mind to create beautiful bouquets and arrangements. I have never seen arrangements like hers which is what I wanted. I wanted people to see the floral decor and say "Wow!" and that is exactly what happened.
