The Painted Tulip

My flowers were gorgeous and everything I had hoped for. Nicole was very easy to work with and understood my vision of what I wanted the flowers to look like. Each bouquet was unique, she used the vessels I provided and made stunning table arrangements showcasing local Vermont flowers. The pricing was very fair and she was incredibly flexible.

Nicole was great, she was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I went with her. I told her colour combinations and showed designs I liked and told her a specific type of flower I wanted included and she worked everything else around me. She was up front with costs and told me how we could curb them a little. Everyone complimented the colours and flowers. She did such a great job intertwining what I had requested with her own artistic touches. I would really recommend her if you are looking for flowers.

I was throwing a baby shower/bbq with lots of people and wanted flowers to match the parents' color scheme. I think Nicole is terrific, and she found just the right flowers for just the right price! Many people commented on how beautiful they were!!! Thank you, Nicole.

I give Nicole and the team at The Painted Tulip my highest recommendation. My husband and I got an overwhelming amount of compliments on the decor and ambiance of our wedding, and I think that is largely attributed to the absolutely stunning flower arrangements Nicole provided. The Painted Tulip was my star vendor, in a wedding full of 5-star vendors.

Nicole spent a lot of time and effort with me planning out every last detail- from the beautiful and romantic escort card table involving bountiful ivory candles and florals, to the artfully crafted centerpieces in alternating size with scattered rose petals, and the jaw-dropping chuppah and full bouquets- they were all pitch perfect, rock-star gorgeous. She understands how to achieve a grand, luxe, and "big" wedding while offering a TON of value for what you pay. While a lot of her arrangements are rustic (it is Vermont, afterall!) Nicole worked to truly understand my vision and what we wanted out of our flowers. I wanted all white flowers and to create a dramatic appeal in an otherwise plain space. She met and exceeded my expectations, transforming the space into a modern yet organic fairytale scene.

Nicole is a true artist and can work with any given style. She was there bright and early and brought a skilled team to set up the wedding decor, and they were hard at work all day to make our wedding drop-dead beautiful. I am so very grateful for Nicole and her team for a job so masterfully done.

We contacted this vendor because of her excellent reviews. However, the day before the wedding, she screamed obscenities at the groom when he went to pick up the flowers. We'd like to warn others because the last thing that a bride needs the day before a wedding is such an unprofessional florist!

Buyer beware...The flowers were stunning and were exactly what I had envisioned. However, the owner was incredibly rude and unprofessional at times.

Nicole was SO fun to work with as our wedding florist. She is very honest and really helped us finalize the entire look of our wedding without being too pushy or trying to sell us on anything. Most importantly the flowers were amazingly beautiful and cost was affordable. Thank you Nicole and The Painted Tulip! -Travis & Shoshannah

Nicole's vision for the welcome dinner was stunning--she really listened to what I wanted and the ambience iI wished to create. The arrangements were breathtaking in the Main Street Dining Room at the Green Mountain Inn. The room actually glowed with warmth and understated elegance.Nicole was great to work with---she made my job easy! Thank you, Nicole for the most elegant and beautiful arrangements for my welcome dinner!!

I was totally overwhelmed as I started searching for a florist for my out of state wedding, but Nicole and the Painted Tulip made everything so easy. She was very responsive over email and answered any and all of the questions very quickly.

The flowers were absolutely beautiful and we received so many compliments about them. We took a couple of the table centerpieces home and were able to enjoy them for nearly a full week after the wedding. Beautiful flowers and helpful service - and a better value than some of the other vendors we priced.

Thank you Painted Tulip and Nicole!

Our wedding was May 7th at the Mountain Top Inn in Chittenden, Vermont. The tent was a blank canvas, so Nicole really was such an integral part of our whole wedding theme- we wanted to incorporate a lot of rustic, elegant touches into our tent and with our design scheme, she was responsible for setting the mood! When Jeff and I walked into the tent, we were blown away by the designs and the creativity that went into each one. She is a delightful lady who has a real passion for all things organic and BRIDES! She took our thoughts and really ran with them- and scored big time...what more could a bride ask for? Loved her designs and HER! XO Jenn and Jeff

Nicole was so awesome to deal with! I was told by another florist that they couldn't get the flowers that I had wanted and I almost ordered flowers that I didn't really want. Nicole was easily able to get all the flowers that I really wanted and everything looked exactly how I imagined them. The flowers were beautiful - I was SO happy with my Ranunculus bouquet! If you want stunning flowers and excellent service, The Painted Tulip is your florist.

The flowers were beautiful and Nicole was a pleasure to work with. She was so flexible and helpful. She really listened to us and the flowers were amazing.

Nicole and her team did an absolutely amazing job caputuring and executing the look I wanted for my wedding. She was very patient and detailed during our mock up session and was very easy to talk and discuss all of the little details with. She had wonderful resources and our flowers were breathtaking!

She supplied all of the flowers, wreaths for the church doors, votive holders and votives, bouquets and boutonnieres. She also supplied and hung up paper lanters at our rehearsal lunch venue. Nicole and her team were with us the whole weekend and seamlessly executed everything along with our wedding planner Carrie with Storied Events.

Nicole will help you make all of your dreams come true and she is so wonderful to work with!

Nicole and her staff has keen, artistic eyes for floral arrangements. I'm an artist myself and was seriously impressed with the services they provided. Other than the loose color palette, I gave Nicole very little guidance in order to give her artistic freedom and WOW was I and my guests impressed. Thanks a ton Nicole and Melissa. I'll be sure to contact you for ANY future floral needs.

Nicole did an awesome job on our flowers and she was so easy to work with. I'm a big email person and so is she I guess, because every and any little note I sent to her got a response. The flowers were beautiful yet simple, just what I wanted. And my bouquet is still going strong in water on my dining room table, 5 days since the wedding. It was such a cute design that I used it as the centerpiece on my sweetheart table for dinner, so it would be in all my photos. The only thing I would have changed is ordering calla lilies for the boutonnieres, they didn't hold up very long for some reason. It may have been the wind and cool weather we had that day, it was almost 20 degrees below the previous week's temperatures. Other than that the flowers were exquisite and fit my theme perfectly.

I loved my bouquet!!!! It was perfect.

My partner worked mostly with this vendor, but from what I can tell our experience was great. Nicole worked with us on finding the right flowers for the season, and having us choose from many different kinds. She responded very quickly and gave us advice since we were doing our bouquets and centerpieces ourselves. The flowers were beautiful.
Overall a great experience, I would highly reccommend the Painted Tulip.

Nicole Delgata, owner of the Painted Tulip was wonderful to work with! She was very flexible, made beautiful arrangments, and went above and beyond in helping us keep the costs down. She was able to get our price below her original quote when we had some financial concerns closer to the date, and even delivered the flowers even though we were going to pick them up since she's on our way! She anticipated that the groom would forget to stop, and it was great, because he completely forgot he was supposed to do that! I loved the fact that I could see the flowers on her flower farm and pick out what I wanted both from the farm and to be ordered.

Nicole provided the flowers for last Saturday's (June 4th, 2011) wedding and they were absolutely spectacular. The bride's bouquet was simply gorgeous and the arbor for the ceremony site was lovely. What impressed me most is how fresh her flowers were ... usually, I don't get to take detail photos of the bouquet until after the ceremony, at which point most bouquets start to wilt and droop. Not this one. After a sunny outdoor ceremony & family portraits, the flowers still looked gorgeous and held up so well. I don't know how she does it but whatever she does, it's flower...

I love how the Painted Tulip uses many flowers from VT in her bouquets growing them herself! That to me is impressive!!!

They were such a pleasure to work with and the flowers were gorgeous. The flowers were very fresh, arrived on time and exactly what the bride wanted. They do beautiful work!
