Affordable Arrangements, Inc.

Carly at Affordable Arrangements did a great job with our flowers. She was easy to get in touch with and very responsive. She did exactly what we asked. She did a beautiful job

Carly with Affordable Arrangements is so great! When I met with her, I had an idea of the kinds of flowers that I wanted, but she created a style for the arrangements that I really loved.

We kept our flower arrangements pretty simple, but we got so MANY compliments on the day of our wedding. Everything was at our location early, and her prices were very doable for our budget. Carly was very flexible in working with us, as our guest list was ever changing, we made many revisions to our order, and she was so accommodating. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for wedding flowers.

Great price, great service, on time, flowers looked amazing. Check them out you won't be let down Carly is just amazing at what she does.

We were very excited to see what Carly would put together, however, she exceeded our expectations in a way we could never have imagined. We painted a basic picture of the overall look we hoped to achieve, but left it up to her to make it happen. What we walked into was the perfect picture of our vision! Everyone commented on how wonderful it all looked, and more importantly felt, with the arrangements. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!! I cannot rave enough.

**EDIT: To see what Carly created for us for yourself, please view my online profile, where I have uploaded pictures of her work to my album.

Carly at Afforable Arrangements did an absolutely amazing job on all of our flowers! Everything was exactly as we wanted. Our centerpieces were absolutely stunning, and we received MANY compliments on them (including, my husband's aunt wanting to keep one so she could disect it to figure out how it was made so she could make it in the future!). Her prices were fantastic and really allowed us to have the flowers we envisioned without breaking our budget. They made such a dramatic difference in the appearance of our reception. We are so glad we went with Carly! She was super friendly and accomodating; a real jewel to work with. We would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for beautiful decor at a fraction of the cost of most florists!

Unlike most of my vendors, picking a florist was particularly tough. I didn't know anyone in the flower business and the only person recommended to me by a family member wasn't a good fit.
However, I emailed my venue, Briar Patch B&B, and asked for a suggestion. Their response, Affordable Arrangements.
My mom and I met with Carly at her home office in Leesburg and went through a checklist of pieces we needed and flowers I liked. She was wonderful and sent over pictures of the exact flowers she planned to use. Still I was nervous that the image in my head may not be her image as well.
The day of my wedding, I cried when the flowers arrived. They were SOOO much more than I could have imagined. Every single bouquet and arrangement was a work of art. The colors were vibrant and the flowers were in great shape. I dried the personal flowers immediately after the wedding for keepsakes, but the arrangements we kept around our home and lasted two full weeks!!
I could not have asked for more!

Carly of Affordable Arrangements was a joy to work with! She understood exactly what I wanted (even when I didn't!) and made it better than I ever thought possible. I loved my bouquet and all of the flowers.

She was knowledgeable and I could tell she had experience. I knew what I wanted as far as colors (which she understood perfectly and made even better than I'd dreamed!) but I had no idea about individual flowers. She sent me pictures about what she was considering and helped me pick out which flowers I really liked. She got my theme perfectly and used my inputs to create the perfect arrangements! She also helped me pick out which flowers would work well in my hair, and they were lovely. She really did an excellent job.

She was also very flexible - I kept sending her changes to the number of bouts and corsages as our guests changed at the last minute and it wasn't a problem at all.

She was also truly affordable! I told her we'd budgeted a certain amount for flowers and with everything we wanted we actually came hundreds UNDER! I didn't think we'd be able to get so many flowers for so little - our venues were gorgeous with all the flowers.

I recommend Affordable Arrangements completely. Any bride can rest easy knowing they're going to get a great result!

We loved our wedding flowers provided by Carly of Affordable Arrangements. Carly was very easy to work with and had many creative ideas for our wedding! She was very responsive to all emails and professional. We highly recommend Carly and Affordable Arrangements!

We were very pleased with our wedding flowers provided by Affordable Arrangements. We found Carly very easy to work with, and she was fantastic at working within our budget. We started by telling her what we wanted and she mocked-up a proposal. Then we adjusted accordingly to our budget. We just gave her the number we had to work with, and she made it happen. She had many creative ideas for making our money stretch, like using the bridesmaid bouquets as centerpieces during the reception. The bridesmaids were still able to keep their bouquets, but they had a nice place to rest during the meal. We highly recommend Carly and Affordable Arrangements!

Carly is amazing, sweet, energetic and makes planning your wedding even more fun! She is very knowledgeable about what flowers work best and stay looking nice the longest. She helped me get the most for my budget while not looking like I skimped at all. She promptly deliverd the wedding parties flowers, set up the alter and tool on the pews and then (at a separate location) set up the cocktail hour and reception exactly how we discussed. She is very responsive and talented and I would highly recommend using her. Thanks Carly!!

Carly is in a word amazing! She is very enthusiastic & has ideas to help you save money. My bouquet was red,orange& yellow roses and BM's were red/orange gerbae daisies. She brought mason jars with water so they stayed fresh. She is very responsive & very sweet. I would totally recommend her to anyone! Just because you have a budget doesn't mean you cannot have nice flowers! :)

I had an overall great experience working with Carly from Affordable Arrangements. I had very specific ideas of how I wanted the flowers for my wedding and I showed her pictures. During our planning meeting, she was able to help me with suggestions for each item we needed. She submitted professional proposals and worked with me to stay within a budget. The floral arrangements were beautiful. She delivered the girls’ flowers to our hotel and then went to the venue to deliver everything else and set up. Carly is very passionate and enthusiastic about her work. She responded quickly to all emails I sent her. We were able to enjoy our arrangements for quite a few days after the wedding. Carly is amazing. Thank you for your hard work.

Carly is amazing to work with. I didn't know much about flowers, but I met with her in her home and she was able to show me examples of work that she's done as well as suggestions for particular flowers that would compliment the setting.

We got married in the fall, and she suggested orange calla lillies, with burgundy roses, and these little berry/twigs. It looked absolutely amazing. We had an outdoor wedding in a vineyard, and her suggestions were perfect.

Carly showed up that day on-time (maybe even a little bit early) and delivered the personal flowers to our hotel and then the centerpieces to the vineyard. Since it was all local to her home, we only had to pay one delivery fee which was nice. She is really nice and really pleasant to work with. Her prices were far below the big floral shops, but her work was (in my opinion) better as it was more personal.

The bouquets (mine especially) were above and beyond what I imagined! I didn't have a clear picture in my mind of what I wanted, I just had a magazine tear-out of something I sort of liked, with things I didn't like, but didn't know what to change. Had I had a definitive image of what I wanted for my bouquets, what Carly created would have been it! Everything was absolutely amazing. She really listened and "got" me.

All the flowers were perfect... the guys boutonnières, the bouquets, centerpieces, flowers for our moms, and all the accent pieces. Everything was fresh and in full bloom (some are still blooming on my counter a week later).

Carly was even able to add a few last minute flowers (as in, the day before I asked for more, she made it happen!)

For comparisons sake, I was told a friends wedding flower budget was the same as mine. She got her bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, and 3 boutonnières, and 1 alter arrangement. I got my bouquet, 2 bridesmaid bouquets, 12 boutonnières, 2 moms bouquets, flower girl petals, 9 centerpieces, an alter piece, and several smaller items for the cake, buffet table, and guest book table.

Carly also made 2 deliveries to my venue so that the girls would have their flowers in time for pictures, and then a second delivery after the caterer was there for set-up.

Will definitely use Affordable Arrangements in the future.

Carly was amazing! Her arrangements turned out better than I ever would have expected. She spent way more time helping us get set up on the day of than any other florist I've ever worked with.

Carly from Affordable Arrangements was fantastic - she produced absolutely gorgeous floral arrangements for my wedding at an affordable price!

I had a very specific theme and color scheme in mind when I first met with Carly, and I took a number of magazine photos with me to give her a sense of what I wanted. She helped me think through each flower arrangement (bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces, arbor decor, etc) and select specific flowers that provided the look that I wanted but at more reasonable prices than some alternatives.

I also requested a specific polka-dot ribbon be used which she didn't have on hand - however, she was willing to find exactly what I wanted to use. Also, prior to the wedding, I decided to add an accent color and Carly quickly revised the contract and found berries that matched a color-swatch I provided.

When I arrived at my venue the day of my wedding - I was SO happy with the flowers! Honestly, they were stunning and better than I had expected (and I'm a picky gal)! The bouquets were a perfect size and the flowers were gorgeous. The corsages for my mother and mother-in-law had a beautifully beaded wristband which I didn't expect. The arbor looked amazing for the ceremony. But, I must say Carly's centerpieces stole the show - and made the reception tent look spectular!! I ordered an array of high and low arrangements in a natural white and green blend of hydrangeas, spider mums, etc. The tall arrangements with curly willow branches were my favorite!

I was very pleased with Carly's services and dedication to making my floral vision come true! I received many compliments on the flowers - and they ended up as the subject of many of my photographs too!

Hats off to Carly and Affordable Arrangements!

Carly was a dream. Going into wedding planning I knew next to nothing about the flowers that I wanted or what would look good together. During our first meeting I wasn't even sure what colors we would be using. She was able to offer suggestions and pull together a proposal, and throughout the process was able to work with me to streamline that to meet our budget and design vision. She offered flower type and color suggestions. She was willing to allow me to provide all of the flower vessels, as opposed to renting them, and she suggested that we recycle the bouquets as centerpieces for some of the tables in order to save on cost and flowers.

I was worried about the flowers meshing with the rest of our DIY decor, since I had provided her little inspiration, and hardly any color guidance. I was floored when I walked into the venue and saw how perfectly the flowers matched my vision. They were exactly what I had wanted, but hadn't been able to express to her. They were simple, yet beautiful. I would definitely recommend using Affordable Arrangements for your event!

The most refreshing thing about Affordable Arrangements is Carly. It is so nice to work with someone who truly loves what she does. On my wedding day, I think that Carly received my happiest reaction when I saw her dropping off my flowers. Her artistry is outstanding and she provided us with an amazing arrangements which were the perfect accessories for our big day! The flowers were fresh, simple, and elegant. Thank you so very much for making me, my hubby, and our guests smile on our big day! Everyone loved the centerpieces the most for their simple elegance!

Carly with Affordable Arrangements did such an amazing job with our wedding flowers and I had an overall great experience working with her. All I had to do was tell her my colors for the wedding, and she gave me a wide array of flowers that she thought I might like. It made it so much easier on me knowing that I could trust her expertise and passion for what she does! I will never forget how beautiful all of the flowers were on my wedding day!

The owner Carly was fantastic!!! Easy to work with and she had great ideas!! Very willing to work with us when we added several arrangements 2 weeks before the wedding!!! Her prices were great too!!!

Carly provided the most perfect, beautiful flowers for my wedding. They perfectly complimented the dresses and the groomsmen attire and the arrangements for the reception were just what I wanted. She was engaging and exciting to work with and did a fantastic job. The price was fantastic as well. Most highly recommended.

The flowers were absolutely beautiful- fresh and brilliant. Carly was very professional, responsive, and wonderful to work with. Her creativity and artistic use of the flowers I selected was remarkable. I would highly recommend Affordable Arrangements!

Carly was fantastic to work with and was always very responsive to phone calls and emails during the process. Her magnetic energy was captivating and made for a wonderful day. She was very professional and the flowers looked great :) Her quality of flowers was wonderful! I would absolutely recommend her to any bride.

Loved Carly's work. We had a smaller budget and she made everything wonderful. She even accommodated me two weeks before the wedding when we changed some stuff up with added financial help from MOB. She even worked with incorporating our star wars bobble heads. Everything for the ceremony was very organic and flowed with the what the country club provided. Would use Affordable Arrangements again

Far and away the least expensive florist we found. But the thing that would make me recommend Affordable Arrangements is Carly's beautiful work and her incredible flexibility. She didn't even pause when we continuously threw changes at her. After nailing down a plan, we proceeded to change colors, number of attendants, and containers for our table arrangements. Two days before the ceremony I discovered that the chuppah poles I had were not free-standing, and she immediately came up with a solution. The flowers were one part of the wedding that I never had any worries about. Carly made me confident they would be great, and they were.

Carly was awesome to work with! Affordable Arrangements was a recommendation and I am still in awe with the beautiful floral creations at my wedding! I worked with Carly, explained my budget and overall vision and the end result was above and beyond what I thought possible. The flowers really transformed the room and I could not be happier. Leading up to the wedding there were rumors of a huge snow storm coming our way. Carly called me the day before my wedding to reassure me the centerpieces, bouquets, etc would be at the wedding no matter what the weather! I hope she knows how much that meant to me - it was such a rare and yet, appreciated courtesy for her to do that. I would highly recommend Affordable Arrangements for your special event!

Carly did a beautiful job on all of the flowers for our wedding. The flowers were more beautiful than I had imagined, and they look stunning in the photos! She was prompt in getting back to me on any questions, easy to work with, on time, and professional! I would highly recommend her as a florist!

Carly was great to work with. I knew I wanted seasonal flowers for my fall wedding, with purple and orange as some of the main colors. Carly was very creative and came up with beautiful bouquets, an arch for our ceremony, and centerpieces and window decorations for our reception. When I had a suggestion for a window decoration after our initial meeting and e-mailed a picture, Carly was very accommodating. The price was reasonable and I liked that the flowers were local. She dealt with several last minute dress changes from a bridesmaid (coordinating the ribbon on the bouquet) and was flexible on when we returned some vases after the wedding.

I am sorry that I couldn't rate Carly higher than a 5!! I did not have a wedding planner and corresponded with my vendors directly. We wanted a vendor that would be able to provide the perfect compliment of flowers at our vineyard wedding. Initially, we went with the "buck shot" approach and contacted a large number of vendors in the area and received a large number of responses with promises to make the event special. Carly was just fabulous and made me feel like we were the only event she was planning for, which was so great during the planning stages since a bride and groom have so much more to stress about. She was easygoing, very responsive and the final product was nothing short of FABULOUS! I gave her a picture of an arrangement that I adored (from a bridal magazine), very non traditional but the perfect compliment to the vineyard theme. Carly went above and beyond what we expected and all at a rate that was much less than some of the larger vendors in the area. My guests were excited to take home such wonderful table arrangements.

I have recommended Carly to all of my friends and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a florist. AMAZING QUALITY and FABULOUS SERVICE!

Carly at Affordable Arrangements was great! I wasn't sure of what I wanted or better yet what I needed. While other florists tried to take advantage of that she showed me ways to save money and get what I needed and wanted. She brought my very vague descriptions to life with amazing class. She was extremely flexible with my ever changing ideas and colors and was able to adapt on the wedding day when I forgot a person who needed a boutineer! The cost was by far the best and the quality was not compromised. Thanks Carly!

We were so happy with Affordable Arrangements for our wedding. Carly was a pleasure to work with, her flowers were beyond beautiful and her prices were very reasonable. I knew she was wonderful the first time I met with her and she knew exactly what I wanted! She gave us everything we wanted and more. My bouquet was more beautiful than I expected, each flower arrangement from the decor, to the mental pieces, and the ceremony pieces were perfect! The flower girls even had real rose petals! Carly is amazing, and Affordable Arrangements had gorgeous flowers! I highly recommend Affordable Arrangements!

Our flowers were breathtakingly beautiful! We took most of our flowers home after our wedding, and they lasted for weeks! They looked stunning in many of the photos we have received from our friends and family. The price was perfect, and we got quality flowers!

The flowers were great, all my guest complimented the design. She was able to take seven or eight photos I brought and really combined everything I liked about them all into a cohesive and unique design. Super nice and great to work with -loved her!

Every arrangement came out exactly as I wanted. Looking back at my pictures and the pcitures of arrangements I was so thrilled because they came out great. Carley was wonderful to work with and everything was true to the name Affordable Arrangements.

Carly is AMAZING! We had to cancel our original florist due to the worst customer experience I've ever had, and at the last minute, Carly was able to fit us in, though she already had an event booked for the day.

The flowers were beautiful, and exactly what I wanted at an amazing price.

A wonderful experience from beginning to end. The owner works out of her home and provides down-to-earth, honest, and friendly guidance in floral selections. Her arrangements were absolutely gorgeous! Organized, efficient, and fairly priced - highly recommended.

Carly was so great to work with and definitely saw my "vision". Not only does she offer great prices but she is very flexible and is willing to meet with you whenever you need to. I absolutely loved the flowers and they were exactly what I was envisioning. She is so nice too and that truly helps!

Carly was FABULOUS. Her prices were more than reasonable and the results were amazing. Everyone complimented every arrangement all evening. She even created fancy large arrangements that I pulled from a magazine for an excellent cost. She was amazing! I highly recommend her services.

Carly was fantastic! My first meeting with her was so great she's instantly warm and makes you feel at ease. She listened to what I said and really helped me get what I wanted in a price I could afford. When I saw my bouquets I couldn't have imagined them any more perfect. She decorated the cake with the fresh flowers and even helped us put some of the centerpeices together.

Carly is amazing! I met with her and picked out the flowers that I wanted about 9 months before my wedding then I only spoke with her through email when I wanted to add, remove, or change something. I LOVED my flowers when I saw them for the first time on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend Affordable Arrangements for someone that wants nice flowers for their wedding but doesn't exactly want to spend thousands of dollars for them.

I selected Carly off of the great responses on Wedding Wire. I had quotes from three florists and I felt most comfortable working with Carly. She works from home and grows many of her own flowers. Although I changed my mind a few times, she met my vision perfectely. A second bride was married at my church that day and using Carly as well. I was impressed when Carly suggested we split the ceremony flowers and cost. She also split our delivery costs between the two of us. When everyone seems out to make a buck off of the wedding business, it was refreshing to know that she was practical and a great florist. We highly recommend Carly!

Carly far exceeded my expectations!! I only had an idea and a few photo's from magazines of what I had wanted my tables and bouquets to look like. From meeting with us a few times Carly was able to get a good feel for what I had envisioned my day to look like and she did an amazing job!!

My bouquet was GORGEOUS and so many people commented on my centerpieces as well. Carly even made TWO deliveries to my venue to deliver our bouquets early so we could take some pictures before our ceremony.

Carly also provided fresh orchids which was one of my centerpieces for my bridesmaids hair as well as a throw away bouquet at no charge. My husband and I met with about 5 different florists and we knew after meeting Carly that she was our last meeting and that we were going to use her. She also made some amazing arrangements for my Bridal luncheon that we were able to reuse as the Rehearsal dinner and on the buffet table at my reception! Many others that we had spoken to did not suggest that option of reusing flowers.

Carly does outstanding work at a VERY AFFORDABLE price. I would definitely recommend her to other bride's looking for a florist as well as possibly use her in the future.

I would recommend Affordable Arrangements to anyone getting married in the Leesburg, VA area. I enjoyed working with Carly. The bouquets and centerpieces she made were very beautiful.

Carly is an amazing artist. She was incredibly professional and really worked with us. For our fall wedding we had shown her photographs of what we wanted and she made our flower arrangements come to life. The flowers for the wedding party as well as the table arrangements were better than I could ever imagine.

Carly definitely listens to her clients and works within whatever budget you give her. I cannot tell you how many people commented and noticed everything that she did for us, and just loved it. I'm extremely happy and grateful for working with you Carly and any floral arrangements that I need in the future I will contact you for them!

Thank you for everything!

I used Affordable Arrangements for my wedding last week. I absolutely loved how all of my flowers turned out! Carly is truly wonderful and you can tell that she loves what she does. She was very flexible in what we chose for the ceremony and reception, as we changed our minds a few times over the course of planning! She was very knowledgeable and had many suggestions on how we could keep costs down. I know she runs the business out of her home, so the only tiny negative I would have is that it was occasionally difficult in getting in touch with her or getting a reply. But, she's wonderful! I highly recommend her!

Carly was great. She did a wonderful job on the flowers and brought the uniqueness I wanted into my bouquet. It was a little overwhelming at first trying to plan wedding flowers from abroad (I live out of the country) but Carly is someone you can just trust to do a good job. It took me a little while to stop trying to micro manage the flowers but I'm glad I finally did.

Basically, just give her an idea of the look you want and let her do her thing. She won't dissapoint! The flowers were one of the few things at the wedding that did not go wrong! They were great! Thanks Carly!
She is flexible and is willing to work with your budget. People loved my centerpieces!

Great flowers! I used small centerpieces of gerbera daises and the bright, vibrant colors really popped against the backdrop of a white tent! Beautiful!

Affordable Arrangements provided my wedding with beautiful centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, and other floral decor. Every time I changed my mind (which was a lot) they were extremely accommodating and offered suggestions to help fit my budget. I would recommend them to anyone who needs flowers, everything was absolutely beautiful!!

I was not sure about flowers when I first started planning, but Carley really helped me find my way and together we came up with the perfect flowers for my wedding. Every single detail was perfect. She took care of the bouquets, boutenniers, archway and centerpieces all at an affordable price without having forgo quality. I highly recommend her:)

Carly was a dream to work with, including providing options for centerpieces and dealing with my edits throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Affordable Arrangements...as they truly were affordable!

Carly is the best - and at such an affordable price! If you are looking for an earthy feel that is subtle and beautiful, she is your florist. I had an autumn outdoor wedding and wanted to capture the essence of harvest time with deep, earthy tones. Carly used fruits, twigs, and deep autumn colors to give a simple sophisticated elegance to the evening. She delivered exactly what I had hoped and was the one vendor that came in well UNDER my budget!

I would absolutely recommend Carly! She did a great job at so many things.

First, when I was looking for a florist, I did not want to break the bank. We paid so much money for the vineyard where we were holding the wedding, that I depended on the vineyard for a lot of the "look" I was going for. In addition, I created some of my own centerpieces with candles. Carly definitely helped me to stay close to my budget!

Secondly, her flexibility was amazing. I changed my mind about stuff... a few times. Each time, she went with it. The last change was about a month before the wedding. She really had to be flexible to go along with that! She grows some of her own flowers, so she has a lot of options and choice. I really liked that.

Finally, she allowed me to use my own vases, which saves you a lot of money, and stored them for me. Honest, helpful and flexible. I really liked that! I did not realize how important it was to have flexible vendors until meeting Carly. I really appreciated that!

Flowers were lovely. The center pieces could have been a little more full. They were held together with elastics on the stems, had they been held in place at the bottom of the vase they would have given a fuller appearance. But we were pleased with Carly and her work! Highly recommended.

The Florist did a beautiful job. The flowers were exactly as I described. She bulit this beautiful archway out of white ribbons and orchids to frame the ceremony and lovely colorful mini bouquets for the mothers of the brides. The prices were very affordable, and I feel like I got a good value for the money. I only wish she would have responded to me after the wedding, with a cost of another bouqet. Someone took my bouquet home by accident and I wanted to keep it.

Carly did such a beautiful job w/ our wedding flowers and candles. She made our vision come alive based on a magazine... everything came out just gorgeous and I would highly recommend her services. I got so many compliments. She is creative, personable and flexible. Her services were much more affordable in comparison with other vendors.

She is much cheaper since she works out of her home. She was wonderful in arranging flowers and is open to cost cutting ideas.

Carly was very easy to work with and listened to my ideas and suggestions and brought them to life with her own suggestions. She used flowers that were in season and not over the top (as i requested) and helped accent the theme of our wedding without stealing the show. My flowers were unique and perfectly suited to our wedding and she wasvery adaptable, even when I brought her a picture of a bouquet totally different than where we started! We would recommend this florist to anyone!

Was was easy to work with my only complaint is my bouquet was turning brown before I got married.

The price for the flowers were great. The (white) roses on my bridal bouquet were turning a little brown around the edges by the time the ceremony started. The bridesmaid bouquets (hot pink) were very nice and the perfect size.

The flowers were a very good deal and we were on a tight budget so it worked well. Some of the flowers in the bouquets wilted a bit too soon but overall a good experience.

I LOVE working with Carly. Her floral creations are amazing and so gorgeous! She is very organized and really has a knack for putting Brides at ease. She and her husband are such nice peopele. You will feel right at home the moment you meet them. Affordable Arrangements is a perfect choicefor all your special occasion floral needs!
