Foxtail is the ultimate for florals

Foxtail Cottage Floral is the absolute best florist, hands down. I have had the pleasure of knowing this incredible team for the last four years. I had known since the first time I encountered their business that I wanted them to do florals for my wedding if I ever got married. I am not kidding, when I got engaged, Foxtail's Karen was one of the first individuals I called!
To say that she knocked it out of the park would be an understatement. The florals were absolutely perfect. I sent them my inspiration and color scheme, and they ran with it. So many guests said that the florals were the most beautiful they'd ever seen. My bouquet was a work of art!! I am simply in awe. I am working on preserving as many of the flowers as I can because they were just so amazing. They are very reasonable as well. I cannot recommend Foxtail enough!

The most beautiful florals!!

Karen and hear team were a dream to work with! We got married at Keswick Vineyards in October 2023. They were so helpful in the beginning of the planning process as we didn’t know how to put our vision together. They were able to guide us and help us make some big decisions. They were so flexible when we wanted to make some large additions to our contract a few weeks before the wedding. They quickly updated our proposal and sent us ideas to match what we were looking for. They even went to Keswick a few weeks before the wedding to re-familiarize themselves with the property. During that visit, Karen noticed that one of our plans for the tent entrance might not be ideal and that that we should make some alterations. I was more than happy to go along with what they recommended. The arrangements and tent décor were breathtaking. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the florals were throughout the wedding. The reception at our venue was in a tent (though it is a beautiful, hand stitched tent and not your typical plastic, rented rent). I wanted to make it feel elegant and classy, and they absolutely delivered. The look they created was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I unfortunately did not have a lot of in person interaction with the team on the day of, but my dad ran into them while they were setting up and mentioned how kind and professional they were. I would 100% recommend working with Foxtail Cottage if you have the opportunity.

Beautiful flowers!

Gorgeous gorgeous flowers!! When we met with foxtail we knew we were in the best hands. They asked what our favorite flowers were.. "Umm pretty ones?" As you can tell we don't know anything about flowers.. They took control and made sure the colors went with our color scheme and the flowers were in season.
They were so pretty!! So many people complimented us on the flowers and then said we did such a good job.. Don't worry we corrected them to make sure they knew foxtail did it all and we trusted them!!
