La Petite Fleur

Cara is truly amazing! She is an absolutely sweetheart, very funny and wonderful to work with. And her work is exceptional. My mother & I met with a few florists in the area, but with Cara it was easy to translate a few scattered ideas I had into the vision I didn't even know could've happened :) Everyone who attended our wedding was blown away by the ambiance she and her team created. And she was able to do so many things with the budget we gave her.

The other thing I appreciate about Cara was how well she worked with our other vendors. Some of our vendors were not as reliable or as thorough as she is and behind the scenes, she helped push them to be more accountable.

Thank you Cara, for everything!! We owe you so much for the day :)

Carra's work is amazing! She can take any idea and run with it and creates a personal touch to every piece of work she does. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Cara is an amazing and artful person with which to work. During our first meeting it was apparent that she was talented and would make our day our day. Family and guests can not stop talking about the floral arrangements.

The staff at la petite fleur were very flexible and responsive leading up to our wedding. On the actual wedding day we were 100% satisfied with their work.

Carra,
This brief note is to extend my deepest thanks and put you on the charts of; "The Best Ever Florist Ever"!
Our daughters wedding day was simply beautiful. And of course, there are many elements to this statement however, the flowers were over the top "amazing". We enjoyed the day as you were able to seamlessly care for ever little detail (delivery, flowers to the right person, and the reception site was transformed). It really was quite a magical event. So thank you. Please feel comfortable using my comment to support your work.
You truely are outstanding at the craft you have choosen. May your work continue to grow and the fun never leave you. Feelings of Gratitude
Always, Jill

Carra of La Petite Fleur is a wonderful person to work with. She was the first vendor to really make me excited for my wedding! She took my basic ideas and fleshed them out into a beautiful decor. My bouquet was exquisite - with peacock feathers, purple artichokes (!), purple roses and irises - she captured my taste and how I wanted to feel perfectly. The reception space was transformed by her centerpieces and floral arrangements. She used a variety of ideas and made it cohesive. She incorporated family items into the decor to really make it personal. She was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and so very creative. She is enthusiastic and you can tell she loves her job. She made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. She never made me feel like my ideas were silly or that my budget was out of range - she makes things happen! I highly recommend Carra and am looking for an excuse to use her again! Don't hesitate - book with La Petite Fleur now!

The flowers for our wedding were absolutely beautiful. When I first met with Carra, I had no idea what I wanted exactlly but she came up with designs that were perfect for us and the theme/colors of the wedding. We got comments on how awesome they looked all night long and people are still commenting on them. Towards the end we had to change some things and they were very flexible. Flowers are on the spendier side but were totally worth it!

If you are looking for a truly unique wedding flower experience then this is your vendor. Carra is fabulous as were all the flowers for my daughter's wedding. She is very creative and offers great suggestions. My daughter did not want any of the traditional wedding flowers and Carra delivered and then some. My daughter also lives in CA and I was planning the wedding from MN and met with Carra first. She put together a detailed estimate that included pictures of the suggested flowers and emailed them to my daughter. We then were able to semi-finalize things two months before the weeding when my daughter was able to be home, and Carra even accomodated some last minutes changes. Carra is extremely professional, responsive, offers a good value, great products and wants to make sure you have exactly what you want and unique to you. We recommend her 100%!

Carra and her team did a GREAT job. The flowers were beautiful and everything was so colorful. She was so easy to work with all along. Even from our first meeting where I had troubles putting thoughts into words, she was helpful. Our setup changed drastically with numbers approximately 3-4 weeks prior to the wedding and she was flexible in changing the table arrangements. She also did a great job of using the decorations we provided (photo frames with pictures of us in them) in a way that looked cohesive with the floral pieces. She came in right at budget too, with beautiful flowers that lasted for at least another 1-2 weeks. I would highly recommend La Petite Fleur!

Working with this company and the two ladies was nothing but amazing! We planned an out of town wedding at a winery and never got to meet Carra (bummer!) but she still pulled off exactly what my vision was! I gave her guidelines and pictures of my decor through email and she coordinated perfectly! They are so talented that I was never concerned how it would turn out. The travel and set up fees were also a steal as well! And it was so convenient that I never had to worry about setting up the flowers myself. So great to work with, and beautiful flowers! Highly recommended!!

La Petite Fleur in St. Paul was absolutly amazing to work with. They really captured everything I wanted and more. They are tasteful and listen to your needs and wants. I would reccommend them to anyone. THANK YOU!

Carra did a beautiful job making my daughters wedding day the happiest day in her life. Each flower arrangement was done with special care.The church looked amazing! We had many nice compliments on how the guest tables at the reception made the room come alive. The vases that she used made it possible to talk across the table without having to move the centerpieces. It was apparent that she loves her work!!

I had a small wedding and left several important details until the last minute, for example, my wedding flowers!!! Carra at La Petite Fleur was incredibly helpful and intuitive when it came to my bouquet design. I really appreciate how willing she was to put together everything I needed with a wonderful attitude and little time to spare! The flowers were beautiful and of very high quality, and the extra touches she added were simply inspired.
I highly recommend supporting this local vendor and I suggest finding them on Facebook to view many of their designs.

Jessica was a delight to work with, and the flowers were beautiful!

Working with Carra and La Petite Fleur was an absolutely amazing experience! Working with Carra from start to finish was a seamless and wonderful process. I was never worried, nervous, or scared about how things would turn out when it came to the flowers for my wedding. Carra exuded confidence and artistic flare. She was also very responsive to any email or phone call I had. She had me complete a survey about my style, taste, flower ideas, colors, etc. before our intial consultation appointment. At the initial appointment she came to the meeting prepared with ideas, pictures, color schemes, etc. to help gauge to see if we were on the same page. It showed she was already excited to share with me her ideas and thoughts. I especially liked that and one of the top reasons I chose La Petite Fleur. Carra had great ideas for centerpieces, reception decorations, church decorations, etc. She was very helpful and accomodating to any requests that I had wanted. I never felt pressured or that I was a burden my requests. I think the icing on the cake was when I emailed Carra around 6 am on the morning of my wedding requesting extra corsages for programs attedants and greeters at the church. She had about seven extra made and had them delivered to the church by noon. It was great! :) I also liked how she labeled all the boutonnières and corsages for all the groomsmen, fathers, mothers, grandparents, ring bearer, greaters, readers, program attendants, etc. That made things easy and simple. I also loved my bouquet as well as all the bridesmaids bouquets. I was truely impresssed with Carra and her true professionalism and dedication. I am very happy and pleased how everything turned out!

Our flowers were amazing. So increadably beautiful. We had so many people comment on how elegant our wedding was!

An absolute joy to work with! Carra is wonderfully creative; a true professional, yet very down-to-earth. We loved every part of our wedding flowers, from the unique bouquets, one of a kind centerpieces, to all the little attention to detail items. Thank you!

I worked with Jessica and she was simply amazing! I didn't give her many ideas to go off of and she made my wedding look amazing! She had so many great ideas and I am so thankful I went with La Petite Fleur for my flowers! Everyone at my wedding complimented me on them many times!!!

Thanks Jessica, you were awesome and you made the big day so much less stressful!!!

Kristi

I would highly recommend La Petite Fleur! Carra was easy to work with and always quick to respond to questions. The flowers at our wedding were phenomenal and were delivered on time. Everything was perfect.

La Petite Fleur was a fantastic vendor to work with for our floral arrangements. Each arrangement was incredibly unique and stunningly beautiful!!! Carra's creativity truly stands out in each of her arrangements which makes the floral arrangements unique to your special day and not just the standard, run of the mill arrangements. I HIGHLY recommend La Petite Fleur not only for their incredible floral arrangements but also, because of the outstanding service and attention to detail Carra offers to you as a client and to your wedding day as a whole!

Carra does a WONDERFUL job with flowers-they were absolutely gorgeous! We also LOVED that she set up our centerpieces for us at the reception and she did an amazing job. I didn't quite get much of a personal connection with her however, and she charges $50/hour for meetings with her, making it a bit difficult to be sure we were on the same page. She was willing to do multiple location drop offs for the flowers which was so helpful.

Carra helped me bring everything I envisioned for my wedding day to life. It was more breathtaking and detailed than I could ever imagine. Sometimes it's hard to visualize what everything will look like because with your flowers it is usually just concept but I couldn't have been more happy with the finished product and how everything was displayed. This is by far the most creative, professional and down to earth flower business I think you will find! Carra was on top of everything and it was great to have someone on track and you didn't feel worried about "not showing up". Thank you for making me feel like a queen and listening to my every want and desire.

I worked with Jessica at La Petite Fleur and she was AMAZING throughout all of the planning, delivery, and clean up! I felt like we immediately clicked during my initial consultation and I knew that that if I went with Jessica I wouldn't be disappointed! We looked through inspiration pictures I had collected on pinterest and communicated back and forth via email as my vision of the wedding continued to evolve. She was always there for me with suggestions on favors, table cloth colors, etc. I felt confident with Jessica throughout the entire process because I knew she was excited for my day too! Of course, when the flowers were delivered they were just beautiful and exceeded any and all of my expectations. Several of my bridesmaids ended up taking their bouquets home with them- through security at the airport and on a three hour flight back to the east coast! I can't thank Jessica enough!

Carra is amazingly talented, and if you are looking for flowers on your wedding day I would recommend no one else! She has an artistic eye for creating beautiful arrangements, each one very different. She really strives to bring out the bride and grooms' individuality in her work, making each wedding she does very unique. She was right on time with her delivery on our wedding day. Aside from her amazing work she has a joyful personality that was a pleasure to work with.

Beyond pleased with the end results. They went over and above my expectations for my wedding! I've received many comments on how stunning all the arrangements were. Completely set the tone for the day. Also everyone from La Petite Fleur was incredible to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Carra did an OUTSTANDING job with our flowers! She took my colors and style for the wedding and made the entire ceremony and reception sites BEAUTIFUL!!! Even the Best Man began his speech by saying how impressive the flowers were!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND La Petite Fleur for your wedding or for any special occasion. For me, Carra worked wonders, creating masterpieces I never would have thought possible! THANK YOU!!!

I still can't believe what an outstanding job La Petite Fleur did on our wedding flowers and overall wedding decor (table arrangements, ceremony area, etc.). It was awesome working with Carra from our very first meeting. I told her where we were getting married, what colors we wanted and a bit about our personalities (my husband and I are both botanists/ecologists - very into plants in a geeky way) and then I just stood back - she immediately had ideas and started sketching them out and sharing them with me. I knew when I left that day that we were in very capable hands and did not need to spend another minute thinking about wedding flowers. As the wedding date approached, Carra and I communicated often via e-mail. I made changes up until the last minute and Carra just rolled with it. She was very responsive - returning e-mails within an hour or two. The day of the wedding, we did a walk through with Carra a couple of hours before the ceremony. We couldn't believe how she came through for us. It was more than we could have asked for because we had never seen anything like it! She definitely got our "earthy elegance" theme (Carra came up with that theme name for us during our first meeting). We received many compliments from our wedding guests and I’ve already given La Petite Fleur’s contact information to a few of them! I recommend La Petite Fleur wholeheartedly - very creative, great to work with, one of a kind floral design.

Carra and Jess were excellent to work with. The flowers were exactly what I wanted, they were flexible, and they worked well with my budget. I got so many compliments throughout the day on the flowers! They went above and beyond what I expected. Book them!!

We met once in person with Carra about 8 months before our wedding. We told her what colors we wanted and picked out some pictures of flowers we liked and she took it from there. It was a fun surprise to us on the day of our wedding to see how everything came together! Carra was very sweet and kind. It is obvious that she really enjoys her work. The flowers also lasted a long time. Great job!

Carra and Jessica were amazing to work with. They're so creative and really understood what I wanted the day of my wedding. Loved working with them and would recommend them to anyone.

I would absolutely reccomend La Petit Fleur for any occasion! They did an absolutley perfect job on my wedding flowers & decor! Hands down they are the most creative, fun and easy people to work with! Most beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen!

Carra was great. We had a few items we made adjustments to as we went and she was amazing! Everything turned out better than we had thought. We had a hiccup with the weather and Carra was there to make sure everything was moved appropriately. We just got back from our honeymoon and the flowers still look great. It was wonderful coming home and seeing them sitting throughout our house. We appreciate all of the hard work and flexibility of La Petite Fleur. Everything was perfect!

Carra provided flowers for my wedding last weekend. We wanted lilacs, and Carra worked with me to put together bouquets and arrangements that combined lilacs with other similar-looking, but slightly less expensive flowers. In planning out the flowers, Carra was well-prepared with photos and books of available options, so I could pick out things I liked, even when I didn't know the name of a particular flower. Everything looked great and smelled wonderful. I got exactly what I wanted! I also really appreciated the full service, including the breakdown option. It was great not to have to worry about cleaning and returning rental vases at the end of the night.

Everything exceeded our expectations. Fantastic service and gorgeous flowers.

Carra was wonderful and her flowers made all the difference for our event! She was incredibly flexible with our order, as I revised it a few different times. It was easy to coordinate drop off/pick up times for personal items that were being used for our centerpieces and she and Jessica drove all the way down to Rochester to personally set up our event. Everything far exceeded my expectations and I am in LOVE with all of the pieces they put together for us. I would recommend them in a heart beat and already have to many of my friends!

My husband and I live in Nashville, TN and had to plan our Minnesota wedding from a distance. It was tough to make decisions about the wedding being so far away but La Petite Fleur exceeded our expectations. The flowers were affordable, the arrangements were magnificent and we couldn't have made a better choice. Weddings can be so unpredictable so to have everything go smoothly with the flower arrangements and bouquets it made our special day all the easier. I would highly recommend this business to anyone else. You'll love it!

Excellent florist! very beautiflm unique and creative!! Added personal touches, such as tiny bit of guitar wire as couple is in music business.

I would highly recommend La Petit Fleur! Carra has such vision and is so helpful picking out flowers for your wedding day! My groom and I didn't have a real "vision" for what we thought our flowers should look like. Carra met with us and designed an elegant, sophisticated table arrangement and bouquet for me that was beyond our expectations! Our guests all commented on how beautiful our flowers were! Carra was so easy to work with and so very creative! I would highly recommend her - she is very talented!

Carra of La Petite Fleur was a joy to work with. I wanted gorgeous flower arrangements that could be used a couple of different ways for different locations and I got exactly that and all at a price I thought was remarkable. Carra has a wonderful eye for design and color. Her detailed proposal made it easy to see the types of flowers that would be used. I can't say enough about how pleased I was with La Petite Fleur.

Give Carra an idea of what you want for your event and let her run with it! I had NO doubt that our wedding would be beautiful with Carra's creativity and work ethic. We wanted a winter wonderland with lanterns, candles and birch. There isn't one think I would change. The bridal party bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages were so unique and beautiful. We will definitely use Carra for our daughter's wedding and highly recommend her to others!

Carra was amazing throughout the whole process. She was very knowledgable, had great ideas, and was very easygoing. I soon realized I could trust her to do what she did best; create incredible flower arrangements. She was very flexible with meeting times and I felt like her prices were very reasonable. After visiting a couple of florists websites and seeing huge floral minimums I was starting to worry about how much my dream flowers were going to cost. She was right were we wanted to be cost wise. I would recommend her a million times over.

Where to begin? Oh, right! We LOVE La Petite Fleur!!!! I'm a rather detail oriented person so when our photographer, Bryan Newfield,mentioned La Petite Fleur's attention to detail combined with massive amounts of creativity, I immediately jumped on the phone with them! From the get go, Carra has been nothing short of amazing. She reminds me of McGuyver and is able to create masterpieces out of ANYTHING. She knew the exact ambiance I wanted to create from the moment I began reciting a few flowers, during our very first phone call. Carra is extremely timely and returns phone calls/emails in minutes (literally). They were even able to make last minute centerpiece editions, two days before the wedding, no questions asked. The end product, you ask? An elegant and glamorous affair complete with black ostrich feathers, silver painted umbrella ferns, roses and many other wonderful flowers! What I love most about La Petite Fleur is that each time they create arrangements for a wedding, they treat it as if it is the most important event of the century. We cannot thank you enough for your creativity and talent. You ladies are simply amazing! Love, Sheena and Andrew

We hired La Petite Fleur to provide the floral arrangements at our wedding in November 2011. From our first meeting to the final product it was an absolute pleasure to work with Carra and our arrangements turned out better than we could've imagined. We were very particular about the colors we wanted incorporated in our flowers and Carra nailed it. Everything looked amazing and we would definitely use La Petite Fleur again!
Thank you for making the final touches on our day so spectacular!

They donated a specific amount of money for a wedding package that we received for my husband being in the army. The flowers were beautiful, I loved my bouquet. The flowers and centerpieces were just what I pictured they would be. They worked to stay within our budget yet still make everything look great. They were very nice and professional. I have no complaints!

Carra at La Petite Fleur was easy and fun to work with. After a simple questionnaire and pointing out a few examples of what I liked she told me I was drawn to textures. She was spot on! From that moment I felt comfortable that she understood the look I was trying to achieve. Thanks to Carra's talent and ability to understand the look I wanted I didn't worry about my wedding flowers or decor. What a luxury! What's even more amazing is that everything turned out better than I expected.

SHe was very willing to work with any date! Very upbeat and the flowers were gorgeous!! Very creative!!

I was speechless. Carra and her team are amazing and so talented! What they did with my simple request (all shades of purple carnations) was AMAZING! I was absolutely blown away when I walked into my reception area, the tables were fantastic! Carra has a passion and creativity that I truly admire. No need to go anywhere else, future brides, Carra will get it done!

The flowers that La Petite Fleur designed for my wedding were absolutley beautiful. Carra really took the time to get to know me and understand my personaility and put all of that into the flower arrangements that she did. Everytihng was perfect. Besides the beauty of the flowers all of the small touches that she did really added to the ambiance of my event. It's not easy to make barbed wire and skulls look classy and sophisticated but Carra did it. Everything was perfect and my guests absolutely raved about my flowers.

Jessica was absolutely wonderful. She listened to my ideas and never pressured me to increase my budget. The flowers on my wedding day were just like I had dreamed about! Everyone raved about them! Jessica was easy to communicate with and very professional. 5 stars all around for La Petite Fleur!

Carra and Jessica were wonderful from the very first design meeting. They worked with me to fit a truly memorable floral display within our budget. Seeing their previous work, I trusted them completely after our first meeting to make an assortment of arrangements that were each different but true to the overall aesthetic of the night. They exceeded my expectations: the arrangements were eclectic, textural, seasonal, quirky, and even humorous... and all placed in the venue perfectly. Every guest I spoke to mentioned how lovely the flowers were. I can't say enough about how happy I am that we chose La Petite Fleur for our reception.

Carra was amazing. She met with me for a long time to discuss exactly what I wanted for the wedding. I appreciated her feedback and her professionalism but also her passion and excitement about her work. She answered my phone calls while she was on vacation, she was flexible to work with when I had to make changes, and she ended up with a beautiful product. We were thrilled!

Carra is absolutely amazing. Our flowers were incredible. She has such vision and truly creates works of art. Carra guided us through each decision and helped us create a decor that was both elegant and unique. She puts personal touches into every arrangement and found ways to incorporate items that were special and meaningful to us as a couple.

Carra is amazing!! At our initial meeting, I gave her a few adjectives and descriptors about our wedding vision and she was immediately on board with us. She envisioned the exact flowers I had written down in my notes. We knew she had the artistry and competency to create a beautiful floral presence at our wedding. I was completely at ease letting her 'do her thing.' Carra was also excellent at working within our budgeting and responding to any emails (usually within the hour). My wedding flowers were stunning. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Walking into the church took my breathe away. She will definitely be recommended to all of my friends and family. Thanks, Carra!

Carra was absolutely amazing to work with!! I will be recommending her to all of my friends, my flowers turned out even better than I could have imagined, I got so many compliments on them!! I had to make some last minute changes that came down to the wire, and Carra was so wonderful and flexible with me. I strongly recommend contacting her for a meeting if you're looking into working with La Petite Fleur!

Searching for a wedding florist can be hard, and there are a lot of options out there. I knew from the the first email I received from Carra that she was the florist for me. Not only was she quick at responding, she was thorough, knowledgable and so much fun to work with! Carra knows her stuff, and her creative genius is amazing. Every single piece she makes is completely unique, and all of them are amazing! She actually listens to what you're looking for, and then makes it even better! If you're looking for a florist that's a joy to work with, and that will do an amazing job, look no further. La Petite Fleur is the best!!

La Petite Fluer and the owner Carra were such a joy to work with. I had complete trust in her abilities and vision, because she was so responsive to my ideas and visions. If you want BEAUTIFUL flowers have Carra do them. she is a complete visionary, and will work with what you offer. I let her creativeness take over, and I was less involved throughout the process, but the flowers were so elegant and beautiful, they stole the show! She was on time, and the setup was flawless. Also very available by phone or email throughout the entire process. she was great, and looking forward to possibly working with her again!

Carra of La Petite Fleur was so great to work with, she made everything easy and fun, she somehow was able to reach into my brain and create exactly the vision I had for the wedding. She worked with us to create something that fit our aesthetics and our budget, the designs she created made jaws drop- they were so amazing. Honestly, I feel like the value of her product was much greater than what we paid. You can always tell when someone has true passion for what they do, and Carra most definitely proves that she is passionate about her work and the end results truly proved how talented she really is. I would recommend her to anyone who cares about having beautiful, creative and completely original designs that are not cookie cutter or boring. I must add that a week after the wedding, most of the flowers were still thriving- how cool is that!

Cara was a lot of fun to work with. I don't know anything about flowers, so I gave her my wedding colors and she did an incredible job. I had some ideas in my head that I didn't know how to articulate and Cara managed to get those ideas out of me and put them to life. My bouquet was incredible, when she told me her idea for it I knew I had to book her. She is a very creative chick, responded to every email right away and was a good value. If I ever need flowers for an event again, I will for sure give Cara a call and am already recommending her services to my engaged friends.

Felt the price we paid did not seem to fit what we ended up with. Maybe I was just to overwhelmed with bride stuff to really look over the small details. I enjoyed working with La Petite Fleur and would recommend them.

Carra was great to work with!!! She was so laid back and open to ideas but also equally as creative and willing to make awesome suggestions. She was super helpful with keeping my budget in mind and our flowers were AMAZINGLY beautiful. I could not have been happier!

As soon as I saw La Petite Fleur's website, I knew I wanted Carra to do my wedding flowers. I have never seen such amazing and creative work. When I met with Carra, I had no idea what I wanted but after talking to her, she came up with the most beautiful ideas for my bouquet and reception arrangements. I have to admit that I never really noticed arrangements at other receptions, but there is no way these flowers could have gone unnoticed. So many guests came up to me asking who did my flowers because they had never seen anything so beautiful. Throughout the entire experience, Carra would always immediately return my calls or emails which made me feel like all my questions, worries, and needs were being attended to. La Petite Fleur gave my wedding the beauty and class every bride deserves!

Working with Carra was wonderful. The floral arrangements for our wedding in all forms were GORGEOUS! I did not need to worry about a thing because she did a marvelous job!

Carra was perfect! She went above and beyond and added extra flowers for our cocktail hour tables, guest book and photo tables! She catered to my requests which included adding hankies to bouquets! She even delivered flowers for our gift opening! I 100% recommend her!

Everything was beautiful! It was all well organized and soooo pretty! I couldn't have been any happier that we picked you! Thank you, you were so fun and creative! LOVE!

La Petite Fleur was delightful to work with. Carra is professional and works hard to develop your ideas into creative, stunning arrangements. She is passionate about her work and goes the extra mile to make sure all the details are in place -- you will have nothing to worry about on your wedding day! i highly recommend La Petite Fleur.

Flowers were stunning. La Petite Fleur was excellent to work with. Took our want for bright and bold and turned it beautiful flowers and table settings. Whether you have ideas in mind or know exactly what you want for your flowers, Carra will make it happen.

Carra is a true genius and an absolute artist at what she does. She somehow managed to pull images from my dreams and make them a reality - pure magic! Not only is she the best at what she does, but Carra has a way of making her place a calm, quite, enjoyable retreat in the midst of wedding planning. She's a keeper and I will use her for all my floral needs forever!

Cara was great to work with throughout the whole process. She had so many great ideas at our initial consultation. She was very professional and fun! The day of our wedding everything was delivered to the correct spot on time and with smiles! She even made extra corsages and boutonierres in case one broke, which it did. The flowers were beautiful and high quality. I would highly recommend this vendor for your wedding flowers or any other occassion!

Carra did an awesome job for us. She offered many options and helped us figure out what flowers to choose with the color scheme we were looking for. She was attentive to all of the changes we had to make during the planning process and was timely with delivery and set up at our reception.

We chose the herb Rosemary for the groomsmen boutonnieres, and I would not recommend this. They became wilted way too quickly and ended up drooping completely over immediately after the ceremony.

We were thrilled to receive a lot of compliments on the table arrangements that Carra created for us. We bought our own vases so that our guests could take them home at the end of the evening, which worked out well and eliminated a lot of clean up afterward.

Thank you Carra for your attention to detail and for your creativity. You made our day so special!

My flowers were amazing and one one of a kind. I had so many compliments!!

Carra was wonderful to work with! She made my wedding absolutely beautiful and had very creative ideas to make my wedding look unique!

La Petite Fleur has done some of the best work I've ever seen. She was the florist for the wedding of a co-worker of mine and after seeing all of the pictures of her flowers I didn't hesitate to contact Carra. She responded quickly the first time I emailed her and offered a complimentary 1 hour consultation. She suggested that I pick out a few flowers/colors that I really liked and email them to her so she could put together a preliminary estimate. I did so and within a couple days she emailed me a spread sheet with prices and descriptions of what all my flowers would look like...it was amazing. During our consultation we went over the flowers and she even helped draw up a layout for my reception hall.

Aside from flowers, I was also able to rent vases, candles, rocks, and moss. This was nice, because as I found out, you deal with enough people during your wedding planning that when you get the chance to handle multiple things through 1 vendor, do it! My wedding flowers were so beautiful and were one of the top highlights of my day. They did a great job of using unique materials and designs for handle treatments and the combinations of flowers and greens are amazing. I would not hesitate to use La Petite Fleur as my florist again. I couldn't imagine working with a more talented, fun, and great person. You will not be disappointed!

Carra was amazing to work with! She had wonderful idea's and worked within my budget and was open to hearing any idea's I had. The flowers were definitely one thing I was not stressed out about because I knew they would turn out awesome and they did! I would definitely use her again for ANY occasion!!

Carra with la Petite Fleur was a delight to work with. She listens to what your wants and needs are, and does her best to meet these needs. I was very happy with the outcome of her work, and so were my guests!

Beautiful flowers! Carra even included extra corsages, which came in very handy when I forgot to order a corsage for my reader.

Carra did a spectacular job on the flowers and decor for our wedding. She really listened to what I wanted during both our phone/email conversations and our in person consultation so much so that when I went to meet with her she had actually pulled the same images that I had brought with me as examples of what I was looking for. Carra really understood what I wanted and made my inspirations a reality. I cannot begin to describe the numerous compliments I received not only on my bridal bouquet but also on the elaborate table centerpieces. Our upscale reception/dinner venue event manager said that they had never seen their room decorated so beautifully and even took my photographers information (as well as Le Petite Fleur's) so that they could have pictures themselves.
Not only does Carra do fabulous work but she also goes above and beyond to ensure that every detail is perfect and that nothing goes forgotten - she even made extra corsages in the event that we had inadvertently left someone off our list. La Petite Fleur has the talent and creativity of the larger and more expensive floral design vendors but is also able to provide the personal touches and details that you just can't get with those vendors that do multiple events each weekend. I would recommend La Petite Fleur without reservation to any bride.

Mere words could not adequately convey the talent that Carra Otten from La Petite Fleur possesses. When shopping for a wedding florist, they typically seem to look the same---nothing extraordinary . . . until we met Carra! Her creativity knows no bounds, and her talent for creating unique and extraordinary bouquets and arrangements was exceptional. We received so many compliments on everything from the centerpieces to the bridal bouquet. As one guest put it, "these are magazine worthy". We would also be remiss if we did not speak about Carra as a person as well. She has the same sense of humor and sarcasm that is rampant in our family, so we connected right away. We loved her from the first meeting. She was patient with all the changes made and was prompt and courteous. We KNOW Carra is the best young talent out there---no one could hold a candle to her skills. Thank you Carra for making this such an incredible day for our daughter's wedding. I would recommend her to everyone. Sincerely, Janice Board (Mother of the Bride)

La Petite Fleur went above and beyond with our wedding flowers! They were very receptive of our limited budget and really stretched the dollar--making the centerpieces look incredible! Carra is so creative and really takes the time to understand your ideas and creates the wedding vibe you want. I loved it and would recommend LPF without reservations!

Carra Otten was a joy to work with and she provided beautiful arrangements for my peacock wedding. I would DEFINITELY use her again and would highly recommend her services.

La Petite Fleur took us as customers after our first florist went out of business and gave our business to them. I will not mention any names. We have eight month till the wedding day. No real scare or rush. We meet in person and explained the style, colors and feel for the wedding. On the wedding day we got what we asked for and more. I would recommend La Petite Fleur over and over again.

Carra is fantastic! The bouquets & floral arrangements for the tables she did for our wedding were above & beyond what I expected! They were beautiful!! Carra is such a pleasure to work with. At the last moment we needed to add a table/table arrangement to our reception & an arrangement for our ceremony. She said no problem! Such a relief! Both arrangements turned out fantastic!! I would recommend Carra/La Petite Fleur to everyone I know!

Carra,

I loved working with you and I would recommend you to anyone getting married or who needs floral arrangements for special occasions. I loved how easy you were to work with, especially since I had moved out of state after meeting with you. Because you communicate through email you made it very stress free and easy on me and Nick as we planned our wedding from different states.

You were extremely organized and had wonderful ideas. I wished I'd had an endless amount of money so that you could just have fun and had been able to use all of your creative ideas! That being said, I LOVED my floral arrangements and have gotten tons of comments on them! Family, friends, coworkers... EVERYONE LOVES THEM!

I am currently trying to preserve my bouquet and I just want to you know that I am so happy that I was given your name during my planning and I loved every second of working with you! Thanks again and best wishes in the future!

La Petite Fleur is not afraid to think outside of the box and create your vision JUST as you see it. She isn't afraid to take risks and that's why we loved her!

You will not find a better combination of creativity, service and price.Our flowers were stunning, original and completely reflected our wishes while having the appearance of costing a great deal of money. I never had another thought about the flowers after our first meeting, knowing that everything would be perfect if left in the capable hands of La Petite Fleur.

Delivered BEAUTIFUL flowers that were exactly what I was hoping for, exceeded my expectations!!

Very beautiful flowers and Carra is fun to work with and professional. We would recommend La Petite Fleur to others!

i loved my flowers beyond words and everything she did. im bouquet was exactly what i wanted and was perfect..no one better

Carra was so fun and easy to work with and her flowers are amazing!!! The bridal bouquet was so beautiful and all the bouquets/corsages/arrangements were so very nice.

The floral arrangements that Carra created for my wedding were simply stunning. I received so many compliments on the bouquets. Prior to the wedding the flowers were not my biggest concern, but I thought they were necessary. All I knew was I wanted something unique. Once we had the flowers, I saw how wrong I was. They added another level of beauty to the ceremony that I just couldn't have imagined beforehand.

Carra was a joy to work with. My bouquet and the reception flowers came out beautifully. Everyone commented on them. She is incredibly creative and open to any ideas you may have. I highly recommend her to anyone in the twin cities area. Thank you Carra for all your hard work and the beautiful flowers.

Carra came to me in a time of need, when our original florists went out of business. She took over our order and the moment I met her, I knew we were in much better hands. She is easy to get a hold of, flexible with her time, and always strives to make the customer satisfied. We had the most beautiful flowers, and they were exactly what I wanted from the start. We received many compliments on not only the bouquets, but the centerpieces as well. Carra took the time to get to know me, and what I wanted for our special day, and made it all come together.

Carra was fabulous! She spent a great deal of time going over arrangments and making sure it was exactly what we wanted, she revised our order so many times and was patient and willing to help every time. She met with us in person, over the phone, and by email and was upbeat and positive throughout all of the stress of planning a wedding. The flowers transformed our reception space and everything looked beautiful.

Carra took my vision and made it come to life, with adding a little bit of extra flare. Her work is beautiful and cutting edge. We highly recommend her if you're looking for a florist who thinks outside of the box.

Carra did an amazing job on our flowers. She completely transformed our reception room. She was able to take my vision and bring it to life, along with adding her own professional experience. We have been receiving non-stop compliments about our flower decor. Thanks Carra!

So great! I love the vision and creativity of La Petite Fleur and it is matched with organization and caring service. When I was clueless about how to get everything done, La Petite Fleur was organized, clear, always flexible, and under control. Throughout the craziness of wedding planning I was able to be confident about my flowers and the beauty of our space. La Petite Fleur left me nothing to worry about before the wedding, and plenty to be joyful about on the wedding day and in pictures for years to come!

CARRA OTTEN AT LA PETITE FLEUR DID AN AWESOME JOB ON THE FLOWERS FOR OUR WEDDING. SHE HAS A VERY TRENDY AND CREATIVE OUTLOOK. I WOULD DEFINATELY USE HER BUSINESS IN THE FUTURE!!!

I was given Carra's name from a coworker and friend when I started planning my wedding. From the first moment I met Carra at La Petite Fleur, I knew that she would be my florist. I met with a few other florists but she had the best to offer as far as value and exceptional work.

I came in with a few ideas of what I didn't like, and a few ideas of what I liked, and what my colors were. Carra took it from there and crafted arrangements that were beyond my expectations. The flowers for the wedding party and parents were amazing, as were the cake flowers and centerpieces.

I would recommend La Petite Fleur to anyone and will keep her in mind for my non-wedding flower needs.

La Petite Fleur was great to work with! She was always quick to respond to e-mails and willing to work with me with the many changes I had to make! The bouquets and corsages and boutonnieres were beautiful and all I could have ever asked for!

Love Love Love Carra and the flowers she did for our wedding... exceded our expectations!

I am always amazed with the creativity that Carra and Jessica have when it comes to the custom designs for each couple and the event. I always tell my couples to give Carra the vision you are looking for and let her run with it, you will always get way more than you expect! The attention to detail is what I think sets them apart.....

The team at La Petite Fleur is without question the most creative, artful, talented florists I've ever worked with! Their arrangements are far from cookie-cutter, and their abilities seem limitless.

Beautiful floral design and top notch client service!

Carra is amazing! Her work is gorgeous - I love how each wedding is completely unique and personalized to the couple. I can't wait to get to photograph her creations again in September!

Creative, one of a kind designs with a lot of personality!

Fabulous talent at Petite Fleur

We have photographed two weddings where the flowers were created by La Petite Fleur. Both times, the brides were so happy with the floral arrangements and just gushed about them. I love that the flowers were fresh, lasted all night, and very creative. La Petite Fleur is able to really get the bride and the vision of the wedding. I also love that they stay until the bouts are pinned on and they make sure everything is right and set up before they leave. What a great company to work with!

Carra is fun, personable, open-minded, and accommodating, with a real eye for floral! I had the opportunity to meet her at one of my past weddings, and we have been in contact ever since. The more I see her work, the more I look forward to working with her again in the future! She has also been incredibly supportive and thoughtful in the way of being a colleague in the wedding biz, sharing tips, ideas, and even offering her assistance. She will be eager to work with you in designing something unique to you for your special day. I highly recommend her for all of your floral needs!

Carra is awesome! She does a fantastic job and the arrangements that she has made have been absolutely beautiful! You can tell she puts her heart and soul into her art with passion, creativity, and quality. All I can say is BEAUTIFUL!

Carra is extremely talented at what she does. Perhaps best of all, she has a great sense of humor and is fun to be around, so working with her is truly enjoyable.
