“the most gorgeous flowers”
“Carlee's work speaks for itself -- if you haven't seen her arrangements, bouquets, and installs, you're truly missing out! Looking back, I realize I didn't give Carlee much guidance for what I was looking for, but I knew I could fully trust her artistic eye and expertise. On top of the most gorgeous flowers that Carlee prepped for our wedding (including my absolute favorite tree install), Carlee was flexible and understanding, and she also provided recommendations as we navigated the challenges of planning a wedding during this crazy pandemic. I'm grateful for having Carlee on my vendor team -- everyone couldn't stop talking about how much the flowers at our wedding truly made the entire day feel like a fairy tale!”

Our florals were definitely one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our wedding! All of our guests commented on how absolutely stunning our florals were.
On top of that, Carlee was so amazing to work with. From the beginning, she ensured that she fully understood our vision so that we could have the wedding of our dreams… I cannot thank Carlee enough for making our wedding exactly what we wanted. 10/10 recommend”

“Flowers were one of the most important aspects of our wedding day, so I spent a long time (even before I was engaged!) keeping an eye out for the right person. I fell in love with Carlee's work and emailed her literally the day we got engaged because I was so excited to work with her. To say that she delivered above and beyond our expectations is an understatement… she totally understood my vision and was so patient with me as I debated vase choice, boutonniere count, etc. She created my absolute DREAM bouquet and table decor. I had so many people tell me at the wedding—and after—that the flower arrangements were the most beautiful they had ever seen…”
“carlee is magic”
“We can’t say enough awesome things about Carlee at Rusted Vase!!!! We really wanted the arrangements to have some architectural elements in which the flowers would take on a life of their own. She tailored our boutonnieres to our individual tastes, while still complementing one another. She incorporated rosemary and unripe blueberries into the arrangements, delighting everyone. All of the flowers were at the peak of freshness and added a great touch of color to our home for several days after the ceremony. I would get married again just to have Carlee do the flowers.”

“Carlee was an absolute dream to work with for my husband and I’s elopement in Washington. Once coming across her work, I was obsessed and was desperately hoping she would be available, and luckily enough she was… I really can’t say enough amazing things about Carlee and the beautiful arrangements she did for us.
From the time of booking to the pick up and drop off of flowers, everything was coordinated, seamless, and stress free… Her creativity, enthusiasm, and just overall vibe as an individual made our day that much more special by having her beautiful touch in our flowers.”

“There is no one who compares to Carlee. For 2 years (Covid wedding) she continued to work with me to give me the wedding of my dreams. My vision was something unique and different and she completely brought it to life. I relied on her through so much of the process and couldn’t have done it without her. Her talent is extreme and will make your wedding something to remember. Every guest commented on how amazing the florals were all night. She is AMAZING!”
“Above and beyond”
Not only did I receive a professional and beautiful experience working with Carlee, but I gained a friend. I felt completely heard, taken care of and worry free working with her and her expertise!
