Rusted Vase Floral

Florist

I am inspired by nature, texture, and color. I often use the natural beauty of the PNW and the places I travel to as inspiration for my designs. I believe flowers are most beautiful in their natural state, wild, unique, and wandering.

Sourcing local and sustainable flowers is a foundation of the Rusted Vase business model. Over 90% of the product used in my designs is sourced from the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market a member-owned, co-op made up of PNW farmers.

No matter what I do, my goal is always the same- to provide flowers that make your heart fill with joy. When you hire me, my aim is to be there for you, to see our collaboration come to life, down to the very last bloom.

    Carlee is amazing! Our previous florist canceled shortly before our wedding, and Carlee saved the day! She was extremely responsive, flexible and detailed oriented. She provided us with a list of flowers and greenery personally designed to meet our vision; all of which were locally sourced!

    ... Overall, our experience with Carlee was wonderful and we can’t recommend her enough! We were so incredibly lucky to have her!

    I highly recommend Rusted Vase. The owner Carlee is really easy to work with and very helpful. Some things that really impressed me:
    - Very responsive. From the inquiry email to the day before the wedding SOS email, Carlee always responded promptly and thoroughly. In fact, I spent more on florals than I expected because Carlee was so responsive that she became my go-to girl whenever I had a design challenge I needed addressed. ...

    Carlee was truly fantastic with designing the floral arrangements for our wedding. I gave her a vague description of what I was envisioning and she knew exactly what to do! She was quick to respond to all of my inquiries and VERY patient with my requests and changes. All of our floral arrangements looked stunning, and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful they were. Carlee is very attentive to the little details, and the transportation of our flowers from Seattle to Orcas Island was incredible - they arrived in perfect condition! We were very lucky to book Rusted Vase for our wedding and we'll definitely book again for any future floral needs.

    Carlee of Rusted Vase Co. was amazing to work with. Not only was she extremely professional and responsive, but she added that extra special touch to show she really cared. ... From the gorgeous head table (seriously my exact vision, to life!) to the stunning bouquets and center pieces, to the arbor and cake display - it was all a dream and I have Carlee to thank for sharing her talent with me for my wedding! I will definitely call Carlee for any floral needs in the future, and recommend her to all of my friends. Can we do it all again?!

    I was referred to Rusted Vase by my wedding planner at Perfectly Posh, and am very happy she did. Carlee, the florist and owner of Rusted Vase was a delight to work with and I felt like the completely understood my vision for the centerpieces I was interested in. If you are looking for natural, loose, casual arrangements and centerpieces (hello, this is the PNW!), then Carlee is your girl. ...
