Amazing all around!!!
Collette was soo great. She was wonderful to work with and made planning such a pleasure. I had so many questions and she was so responsive and sweet (no matter how many times I asked questions over and over). Additionally, the flowers came out EXACTLY as requested. Even the boutonnieres which are oftentimes hard to do, were PERFECT. I wanted a little mini bouquet for the boutonnieres and she created the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. My flowers and the girls were exact to the color I had asked for as well. I received compliments all night! It was such a pleasure! Highly recommend!!! -

Courtney K. Sent on 10/31/2022The best experience I could have hoped for
Collette went above and beyond for our wedding and created the most beautiful floral arrangements! From the start, working with her was easy, fun and exciting. She was always easy to communicate with and she brought so many ideas to the table of things that I had never thought of but absolutely loved. When our wedding day came, she transformed our venue into the most beautiful space, making sure that every detail of our flowers and arrangements were perfect. I never felt like I had to worry about any of those details because I knew that she had it covered and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend Collette's Floral Designs to anyone who is looking for a florist for their wedding! -

Absolutely stunning work from a lovely person
Collette Benoit was lovely to work with--absolutely understood what I wanted and exceeded all expectations. She even came in a hair under budget! I can't say enough good things about her and her beautiful work. -

Just beautiful
Collette was so easy to work with. She made our vision come to life with ease. She arrived at our wedding venue the morning of and handled everything from the ceremony to the reception. Throughout the whole planning process she was easy to talk to and always responded in a timely manner. She was very detail oriented and always had a great response when I asked for her advice. She is a true professional and amazing at what she does! I’m so glad we chose her for our florist! She is truly amazing. -

Tonya Sent on 01/22/2018Looking for spectacular arrangements/decor and peace of mind - look no further! Her bouquets, true works of love and art, just took the guests' breath away. I still dream about them!
I hired Collette for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, held at our Lake house on Lake Champlain. After only a few email exchanges and one meeting, she was able to perfectly understand my needs, provide brilliant ideas for leveraging what I already had and make a "wow" setting from the entrance and grounds, to the dining tables, buffet tables and serving platters. The color scheme was gold (for 50th) and navy blue. The event was outdoors under a tent surrounded by water- so I wanted "informal" yet unique and stunning bouquets to match the setting. Since I was feeling so comfortable with Collette and her brilliant and creative ideas- I gave her "Carte Blanche" which meant she could choose the flowers. When she mentioned that she would make the final selection the day before the event, as she was sourcing everything from the Boston Flower Exchange- I knew I had made the right choice. She wanted to make sure she had the freshest and most interesting flowers. The end result was SPECTACULAR- She simply took everyone's breath away. -

Margaret Sent on 01/22/2018“August 12, 2016 was an extra special day for us as we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with 80 dear family and friends from around the world. The setting was stunning, on a large property beside Lake Champlain, Vermont. Our daughter and her husband had gone out of their way to ensure that everything was top notch and elegant – let’s just say “perfect”. Your contribution to the overall effect was essential both outside and inside of the tent. Upon arrival, guests were greeted by two breathtaking 7 foot high floral arrangements at the entrance to the tent. They became the focal point of many a photo with guests. Severing tables were adorned with tall shocking blue floral pieces in harmony with the blue and silver them of the event. To top it off, each of the 10 tables and a clever centre piece floral arrangement that was partly edible (figs and miniature pears) – a brilliant idea only discovered by guests as they dined and reflected upon the beauty before them. Some took the liberty of tasting the fruit. Many guests have commented that the entire venue was like a movie set. Others have said “we have never been to an event like that”. Our reply has been “neither have we”. Margaret and Larry Dickenson, guests of honour.”

User2424508 Sent on 11/13/2015Collette was an incredibly wonderful person to work with. She is warm, attentive, brilliant at what she does, and, most of all, incredibly capable of translating someone's vision (or lack thereof) into beautiful arrangements.
Collette's website and images of her past work are incredibly true to her work. When we were getting closer to our wedding date, we made an appointment to sit down and discuss budget, vision, and colors. I am completely ignorant of types of flowers and styles, and Collette did an amazing job of steering me in the right direction. I brought swatches of bridesmaids' dresses and showed Collette pictures of the men's suits and ties. She was able to translate my incredibly vague language (I wanted sustainable, local flowers that weren't too fussy) into something that would actually be feasible. Her budget was spot-on with ours, but she was incredibly willing to work with us if we needed to change anything.
When the day came, Collette hand delivered the bouquets and the boutonnieres to two separate locations. She helped the men pin theirs on and she instructed the women with the proper holding techniques so that the pictures would look perfect. She also designed the flowers for the centerpieces. More than just ensuring that color broke up the whiteness of our tent, she thought about the height of the arrangements and guests' eye lines.
Basically, Collette thought of everything and is an expert at what she does. She created stunning arrangements that held up incredibly well and knowing that she was handling everything helped reduce stress levels all around. I highly recommend her and her work!!! -
