Used Ashleigh’s garden for my wedding on 9/29/2023 and couldn’t have been happier. The florals first of all, are breathtaking. Allyson really brought my vision to life and we got so many compliments on our centerpieces. I also found out after the wedding that Allyson pretty much saved the look of the ceremony. I guess there was some confusion with my wedding coordinator and she didn’t know I wanted an arch. Allyson stepped in and made the arch come to life! The ceremony ended up being beautiful. Not to mention, their prices are very affordable for what you get. Would go with Ashleigh’s garden again in a heartbeat. Thank you Allyson for all you do!

I hired Ashleigh's Garden for my wedding on July 13, 2023. They provided the most beautiful arrangements for everything I needed and delivered and displayed them wiithout any issues. From the very first email I sent reaching out, the entire experience working with Ashleigh's Garden was so wholesome and enjoyable. The entire staff is so kind and personable. They really take into account everything you're envisioning and provide exactly what you're asking for. I had a specific budget and they worked closely with me to stay within it and still provide my dream arrangements. This is a florist shop that truly want the best for the customers and it shows in everything they do. I highly recommend using them for all of your floral needs!! And if you're fortunate enough to stop by there in person, you'll get to encounter the best animals :)

Was recommended to them by a previous bride who had a good experience. Had an appointment with her 3/20/24 which did not end up happening because we weren't meeting in the floral shopping we were meeting at the thrift store next door, which was not communicated to us and she claimed "everyone knows I own that building". Rescheduled for today and went to the thrift store. Mind you, I live an hour away from this store. I went in and texted the florist that I was here and didn't know where to go. I walked around the store for about 20 minutes waiting for a response. Bought something small and went outside and called her. She claimed I was supposed to ask the cashier for her, which was never communicated to me. I told her this and she said 'I doubt you want to have the appointment now because you're upset' (Was not being rude or yelling or anything). I then just expressed my concerns that if it was this hard to meet, would the day of the wedding be this hard too to which she said 'I have never had this problem before'. I told her I was disappointed because I gave them another chance and her response was "I gave YOU another chance". She gave me, a customer, another chance? Not a way to treat a bride or any customer. We mutually agreed to not move forward with this service and I would get my deposit back. Extremely unprofessional how the florist Allison handled us today.

I called Ashleigh’s on the spur of the moment because I had a friend who had suffered lots of loss, and I wanted her to have a bouquet of flowers that would lift her up. Ashleigh’s Garden made the most beautiful bouquet; i’ve truly never seen an arrangement like that. They did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend Ashleigh’s Garden for your floral needs!

We ordered a bouquet and boutonniere from here for our small wedding this past weekend. Everyone we worked with was so incredibly nice and accommodating. They're also a green florist (they compost, recycle, and repurpose) which is something that is really important to me and my husband. Highly recommend supporting this florist! :)

Allison at Ashleigh's Garden and her entire team are amazing. I used her for my wedding and everything came out picture perfect. My bouquet was EXACTLY as I had envisioned, as were my centerpieces. I was planning everything and communicating from another country so I had to use email a lot and Allison always responded in a timely manner. But what was great was the fact that I kept realizing I needed things that Ihad forgotten about (eucalytus for the sweetheart table, flowers on my arbor) and she was able to add them on without issue.Thanks again!(Photos by Daphne and Dean Photography)

We used Ashleigh's Garden for our wedding in Old Lyme, CT September 2023 and were so happy with the final results!! We worked with Allyson who totally understood our vision for a wild flower, natural, earth tone theme. We love how our flowers came in beautiful, antique/vintage, rcycled glass vases and that the flowers were sustainably sourced - both of which are totally in line with our values. The entire process working with Ashleigh's Garden was easy and we highly recommend!

I called to set up a flower arrangement delivery for a family engagement party that I could not attend. They were so friendly over the phone and even reached out when they did not receive the personalized message I requested. The flower arrangement was delivered on time and absolutely beautiful! Everyone loved it. I highly recommend!

We worked with Ashleigh's Garden for flowers for our wedding in Haddam in October.The whole process of working with Allyson was very easy and the florals all came out beautiful. She provided great service and gave good advice on where we could save money rather than trying to sell as much as she could. The way they do things as a company makes it easy to want to support them.

Allison and her team were phenomenal! The pre-planning process was very easy going and there was a constant stream of free-flowing collaboration discussing ideas and color schemes. The team was diligent and executed our vision perfectly. We fully trusted them to pick which types of flowers and blooms to fit our special day. We told them what color palate and let them run with the creation, design and execution of the flowers for our wedding and their taste was impeccable.The delivery the day of the wedding was spot on without any issues. They customized a ceremony arch, staircase garland, bouquet, boutonniere, centerpieces and other arrangements and everything was BEAUTIFUL!

This vendor was recommended to us from our venue, and initially we had a great experience. However, the days leading up to the wedding were a complete mess. I got an email, supposedly from the owner (which I'm not entirely sure it was her considering that her name was spelled wrong in the emails) stating that my flowers couldn't be delivered until 4 on the day of my wedding. The ceremony started at 4 so that wouldn't work. Then they asked if we could pick them up, which we couldn't, but we found someone in our party to get them after finding out there was a large delivery fee and our venue was 10 minutes away. When my mom called the florist for me, whoever picked up the phone then got into an argument and began yelling at my mom, about how everything was my fault because I canceled delivery. The owner ended up calling my mom and she came in so we could pick up the flowers...which ended up being blue instead of the white I ordered. Gorgeous flowers, but not what I ordered or wanted. They never reached out to us to correct the mistake either.

Ashleighs garden made the flowers for my wedding and everything was absolutely gorgeous! They took the vision I had in my head and made it come to life. I couldn’t have been more happy with their service, attention and talent.

Thank you Ashleigh's Garden for creating the wedding florals of my dreams for my 9/23/22 wedding! I searched high and low for a florist for my wedding that was kind, attentive to detail, creative, and within my budget (the budget part is way more difficult than it seems!). Ashleigh's Garden checked all of these boxes and more. Their team are some of the most creative people I've ever met and are genuinely excited about their work. I came to them with a (VERY) vague idea of what I was looking for, changed my mind a million times, and they did not skip a beat. Allison and Chan were a pleasure to brainstorm with and when I say they understood the assignment, I mean it. They both went above and beyond for me and exceeded my wildest dreams when it came to my wedding flowers. I am still receiving compliments from our guests about how gorgeous everything looked. If you are considering their team for your wedding, don't hesitate and book them now! I promise you will be floored by their talent and kindness. Ashleigh's Garden team, I can't thank you enough for everything!

Had a great experience with Ashleigh’s Garden! They returned my call promptly and were super responsive. I was able to have flowers delivered same day for a new baby, and the recipients said they were beautiful! Great customer service, great product. I would recommend to anyone! Thank you!

Got my wedding flowers from Ashleigh’s Garden in 2019. Absolutely wonderful experience. Allison was able to tell me exactly what I wanted even without me telling her the exact flowers I had in mind. She was extremely helpful, informative, and a great person to work with. Everything was absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience! They are also my go-to any time I need a bouquet for a birthday or holiday. Beautiful work each and every time!

Everyone at Ashleigh's Garden was so nice and accommodating. I really didn't have a strict vision for florals but I gave them an idea. Let me tell you they DELIVERED! I was FLOORED by my bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets plus the centerpieces. I could not have imagined more beautiful and perfect florals at an affordable price. Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for being so outstanding.

Ashleigh's Garden went above and beyond for our wedding. When I walked into the venue, I was shocked how amazing the flower arrangements looked along with the bouquets. Allison did an amazing job putting everything together and we couldn't have asked for a better florist. Anytime we had a questions we never had a problem getting a response. Very professional and also pet friendly! Which we thought was a great touch since we love dogs! We would highly recommend Ashleigh's Garden for any type of event!

They did a terrific job decorating my isle, creating the boutonnieres and my wedding bouquet. The boutonniere and my bouquet have lasted 2 weeks. This florist only uses all natural flowers organically grown, and because of that her flowers are simply gorgeous and vibrant with color. Best thing ever is that they are budget friendly. I wish I could give them more than 5 Stars. Thank you Allison for your advice and expertise. You and your team are wonderful.

Ashleigh's Garden was our florist for our July wedding! When I got engaged no other florist was even a consideration! In addition to being one of the most caring and kind hearted people I have ever met, Allison is also a floral genius. After years of seeing her unique and timeless arrangements I was excited to give her free rein and see what she would design for our wedding. I showed her my bridesmaid dresses and described the "feel" of our wedding and she created the most amazingly beautiful and fragrant bouquets. Allison takes great pride in the quality of her work, we had flower petals lining our aisle and she scattered them herself to make sure they looked perfect... and they did! In addition to the gorgeous flowers for our wedding, Allison also made me a lovely flower crown to wear for my bridal shower! Thank you Ashleigh's Garden!

We LOVED using Ashleigh’s Garden for our wedding! Allison was beyond realistic and gave us suggestions on how to save money throughout the decorating process which we very much appreciated on such an expensive day!

I love flowers, but actually came to Ashleigh's for the lovely antiques and the opportunity to commune with the rescue parrots so lovingly housed here. A selfless and empathic service for the betterment of all living things. Thanks so much, Daniel of Portland Pandemonium.

If you are like me you may have driven past Ashley’s in Deep River hundreds of times without really taking much notice. That changed for me this past August. I was planning my wedding and determined to do my own arrangements – table vases, bouquet and other smaller displays. After multiple attempts at creating sample arrangements where they did not quite look right, I realized this flower arrangement thing is an art and I needed a professional to step in. A friend recommended Ashley’s and I am forever grateful. This small business is run by an extremely knowledgeable, warm and friendly team, eager to listen to your needs and deliver as promised. I had ideas of the flowers I wanted, and I had already purchased my vases, so Ashley’s was charged with purchasing the flowers and creating the arrangements. In addition, I provided Pinterest ideas for my bouquet. In the end, Ashley’s surpassed my expectations, everything was delivered on time and my bouquet was exactly what I wanted, not close to what I wanted, but exactly what I wanted. Of course, a matching Boutonniere to my bouquet was included, a small but important detail. Now I look back at pictures and will always remember how Ashley’s played such an important role in my day while making the whole process so simple. I will absolutely use them again, and highly recommend them with confidence. They are the right florist to consider for any party and event needs.

This is a local shop that had it all! Come for the flowers and stay for the animals! They have really made a new home at their new location since moving from Centerbrook. They now occupy a space that use to be an old printing shop. The location is so convenient being that is right off of exit 4 on route 9. From antiques, to furry and feathered animals this shop is worth stopping by if you haven't already!

The flowers that were put together for my Mother's 79th birthday were a beautiful work of art!I called in an order and talked about light and bright and using yellows and whites. That is exactly what my Mother received, and it made her day, and mine too!Thank you for the incredible artistry and timely delivery!
