100% stars! My husband & I got married at Lord Thompson Manor in Thompson Connecticut on 7/31/21. Mary Ellen was a delight to work with! She is all that you hope for in being a wonderful piece of your big day- from start to finish she was absolutely wonderful. Being in the event industry, working with patient, committed, passionate and lovely people throughout the planning process is all you hope for and I hit the jackpot with Cameron & Fairbanks Floral! She was so organized and kept me updated on revisions of quotes, emails and was so fast at responding. She took my ideas and ran with them, making the MOST BEAUTIFUL bridal bouquet for me. My theme was greenery, with a small dash of white throughout and Mary Ellen nailed it!!! Instead of having all my bridesmaids and grandmas/nana, Mom/MIL carry a small bouquet, they all had corsages instead. With a corsage, the girls were able to have it on all night and act as another accessory! I am SO glad I did it this way, it was a lovely addition to their gowns, and it was easy for them to save and dry out after the wedding. When walking down the aisle, the girls held onto one of the groomsmen, so they didn’t miss out on holding anything going down the aisle. For photos, the girls all switched their corsage to the wrist that was sticking out and all held onto the person in front of them. She did an amazing job with adding the white florals onto the corsage ribbons to add the most perfect amount of color! The ribbon she used matched so amazingly to their gowns. It was great as well, that my sister (MOH) and I, were the only ones with a bouquet. My MOH was walking down the aisle alone and I wanted her to be holding a smaller version of what my bridal bouquet was to make her feel special and to honor her. We also had complimentary boutonnieres for the minister who married us, my father, my husband, and his groomsmen. I am so glad Greenery was our floral theme, no matter what greenery stems were inside, I knew it would look amazing and go so beautifully with all the colors of our wedding, the grounds of our venue and it was so elegant and simple. I had all trust that Mary Ellen was going to take her creativity in any direction she wanted and picking up our florals was such a moment with her. Everything was so reasonably priced, the pickup at her shop was so easy and my bouquet and boutonniere still look amazing- drying out for us to keep. I gave her my frame and height, so she knew what size to make my bouquet and needless to say it was PERFECT, and I was OBSESSED! I can’t say enough amazing things!! Mary Ellen works so hard, and you can totally see that in her work! The organization and effortless system throughout my time working with Mary Ellen was seamless and I recommend her to anyone!! I have not one negative thing to say about her, she is truly amazing! RUN don’t walk to hire her for your wedding or any special occasion! Jayne & Jordan Cartlidge
