Whimsy Flowers and Gifts Reviews

Everything was perfection! From the beginning stages and letting her know my "Pinterest" ideas, to our conversations, to the changes made everything was better than what i could have possibly thought.

Carissa made planning a destination wedding so easy. She was quick to respond at al times, always so pleasant to talk to, and she was helpful when it came to my bouquet suggestions. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and have a hard time letting go of control. But when she sent me a sneak peak of my flowers the day before the wedding, my jaw dropped. I couldn't have dreamed of anything that beautiful!

She came in the day of, dropped everything off, added the lace I bought with me and was out (which is very helpful on a such a crazy day). For the dinner, everyone that helped setup came up to me to tell me how great she was to work with.

Carissa made a big impact in making our destination wedding in Banff magical. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for the perfect florist!

Carissa did an amazing job doing my wedding flowers! She is so unbelievably talented and is obviously passionate about her career! I have her a lot of freedom with it and I don't regret it one bit! I would highly recommend her for anyone's special day!

I am completely in awe with Carissa s work. She went above and beyond all my expectations and created the most memorable and gorgeous flowers. Her touch of sprinkling fall leaves down the aisle, from the arch, didn t go unnoticed! Thank you for complimenting my personality so well and making my day so magical!

Carissa was my florist for my June 2018 wedding as well as made me a flower crown for my engagement photos Sept 2017. I only have amazing things to say about her! Right from the start she listened to all my ideas, helped me decide what would look good together and worked hard to stay in my budget. Along the way lots of changes were made because I kept wanting more and more flowers and she did not dissapoint. Everything was PERFECT, from the centre pieces, flowers for the cakes and the ladies bouquets. Everything was beautiful!!! I can t thank her enough as I fell the flowers really brought everything together! If you are looking for a florist you found her!! Thanks Carissa !

Carissa is such a joy to work with! Just give her your color palate and let her work her magic! She wants the very best for you on your day.

Carissa did a beautiful job creating a floral design which exceeded the vision and idea I had in mind. Great communication with ideas, plans, and timeline. I planned my wedding from out of the country and Carissa was very accommodating, professional, and made the process feel fun and easy! BEAUTIFUL work. Highly recommend. Support this excellent local family business!

by chance, a friend referred me to carissa and i can't begin to tell you how happy i am that happened! everything was GORGEOUS and more what i wanted than what i tried to tell her i wanted. she was organized and on time and so kind and friendly. such a treat to work with; i am SO glad i got to meet her. carissa added so much beauty to our day!

Great quality, unique designs, affordable and fair pricing. Would highly recommend Carissa with Wild Magnolia Floral for any wedding floral needs!

I couldn t have asked for a better experience. Carissa understood my vision, answered all my questions and respected my budget . The end product was better than I could ever imagined! It truly was above and beyond my expectations. I would give her more stars if I could!!

Not only is Carissa one of the sweetest people I have met, she is exceptionally talented at what she does. When she told me the things I wanted were typically on the pricier side, I worried our floral budget was going to be completely blown, but Carissa was able to work with us to make stunning bouquets and floral pieces that fit perfectly into our wedding budget. She is perceptive to the desires of her clients and has a great eye for design. Carissa decorated an archway for us and wrapped flowers for my hair, and both turned out beyond all we imagined. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anybody looking for a florist. (Photos by Kristyn Harder Photography)

Carissa did an absolutely amazing job for my wedding flowers. She was friendly and amazing right from the first time we met. We told her what we wanted and she put beautiful bouquets together that were better than I could have ever imagined! Carissa gives incredible service for an amazing price! I would very highly recommend her for floral arrangements.

Carissa is a pleasure to work with. Wild Magnolia was my first choice of florist for my fall wedding. The floral designs from Carissa's local business are just beautiful! From the initial meeting Carissa was kind, professional, straight forward, and extremely helpful. She respected all my wishes and offered some really great advice. I appreciated that Carissa helped me stay within my budget. On the day off Carissa was extremely organized and ready for all the set up/take down. I would highly recommend Wild Magnolia Floral.

Carissa put so much love and heart into her design for my wedding. I was in completely awe when I saw my bouquet and it was even better than what I had imagined! She's an absolute delight to work with and has an amazing eye for detail. I would recommend her to anyone.

Carissa is an incredibly talented florist! She has impeccable taste, design, and overall vision for her floral arrangements. I provided limited direction, and the arrangements she curated for my wedding were beyond stunning. She offered helpful advice during our consultation, ensuring I was able to stick within my budget but still achieve the overall design I wanted. To top it all off, she is a kind, genuine person. I would highly recommend Carissa / Wild Magnolia Floral.

Carissa does such a fantastic job! I live in Pittsburgh and my wedding was a destination/ elopement in Banff National Park. I was nervous about finding a florist that I would be comfortable with. From the first consultation to my wedding day Carissa was kind, professional, helpful and very responsive. She truly listened to what I wanted and was patient and gracious about last minute changes/ requests. On my wedding day, the flowers captured the exact style and vibe that I wanted. I highly recommend Wild Magnolia Floral- Carissa does beautiful arrangements and she s awesome to work with!

Carissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our initial meeting, her communication was clear and upfront. She completely understood the look I was after and kindly offered her own suggestions based on her experience. Carissa has an eye for detail, selecting the most gorgeous silk ribbon to accompany my bouquets and packaging the florals carefully, beautifully, and clearly labeled. She was also gracious enough to accommodate a last-minute change from me. You will not be disappointed to choose Wild Magnolia Floral.

Carissa was absolutely incredible to work with and is insanely gifted at what she does. The first day I met with her, I knew nothing about florals and could only give her the vibe we were going for on our wedding day as well as a colour palate and then let her work her magic. We had a last minute venue change 3 weeks before the wedding and had to make a new plan for the ceremony which mostly affected her work out of all our vendors and Carissa handled it like a champ. I felt like she could read my mind with the changes that were needed and while I'm sure it was a stressful situation for her too, she made us feel so at ease and that she had everything under control. She was very organized leading up to the wedding and very good with communicating throughout the entire process and accommodating with any changes we threw her way. She's also such a sweet person, which is always an added bonus. On the day of I was completely blown away! She took the vision in my head and made it so much better than I could have even dreamed. Everything was STUNNING, from the bouquets, to the floral pillars she built for the ceremony, to the details and decor at the reception and more. You will not be disappointed working with Carissa.

Carissa not only created a stunning bouquet for our adventure elopement, but also one that would hold up to the test of a 24km overnight hike into the backcountry of Banff National Park! From our first phone consultation to picking up a gorgeous arrangement when I arrived in Calgary, Carissa provided exceptional expertise, creativity and generosity.

Carissa is so talented! She met all of my expectations and then some for my wedding almost two years ago! My flowers were breathtaking and she met with us a couple of times to make sure she knew what we were looking for! So professional and so friendly! I'd recommend her to anyone looking to get flowers done for ANY event!

Carissa was absolutely fantastic to work with. Very organized, thorough and knows exactly what she is doing. I am so thankful I chose Wild Magnolia Floral for our Wedding!

Carissa is AMAZING! she took my inspiration photos from our very first meeting and the flowers turned out better than the pictures I had showed her. She took the vision I had for my wedding and made it better than I ever could have imagined. The flowers were great quality and lasted all day. I have since dried my wedding bouquet and it is still beautiful! Seriously.. Wild Magnolia Floral is THE best!
