Julie Raymond of Bittersweet Gardens did a great job with our wedding flowers! We were married at the 1620 Winery in Plymouth and Julie styled the rooms for the ceremony, reception, and dinner.

I knew as soon as I spoke with Julie that she was the person who would do the flowers for our wedding. Julie was super easy to work with. The mock up that she made was beautiful. I love that she grows her own flowers. Totally recommend her.
