Always & Forever Florist

Carrie did an incredible job with my spring wedding. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted going into our meeting but she talked me through it and we decided on a beautiful bouquet of peach garden roses, white ranunculus, frilled white tulips, peach astilbe and baby’s breath. The colors were soft and subtle, and went perfectly with our outdoor wedding. Will definitely be referring Carrie to my engaged friends!

Carrie Beamer is a fabulous florist! I met with several other local florists while planning my June 2009 wedding, and Carrie was the only one with an eye for detail. She took the time to pull out color swatches and have me point out exactly what shade of each color I was using. Other florists would write down «purple» without asking specifics. My color scheme would have never come together had Carrie not been so thorough! Not only was she more attentive to my needs, her prices were competitive and her ideas much more creative than anyone else I spoke with.
Carrie also called around and found peonies, though they were going out of season. I also can’t say enough about the quality. There was not a single wilt anywhere to be found, and according to my bridesmaids who took centerpieces to work, and my MIL who kept my bouquet, the flowers lasted three weeks. Amazing!
I was also so pleased with Carrie’s personal service the day of my wedding. She was there early, had everything set up in good time, and stayed to make sure everyone in my family and all of our guests of honor were pinned well.
Carrie Beamer & Flora Fetish (previously Always & Forever Florist) is one of the premier Austin wedding florists, through and through!

I talked to this company about doing my wedding. I was completely put off and did not end up using them. The consultant spent more time bragging then helping. She put down what I liked by telling me things like its silly to have loose flower pedals, a bride should choose the colors of the wedding based on the bridesmaid dresses and not the bridesmaid dresses based on the colors. Personally, I think she was missing a chromosome
This happened in 2004. That was a long time ago and normally I would think it does not mean much today however, I believe she was the owner.
I give them 3 stars because I do not actually know the quality of their work.
I ended up using the Flower Bucket. They were fabulous.

FYI… If you want to send your girlfriend a bouquet «just because,» you are out of luck. Always & Forever no longer does regular delivery. According to their website: «Our boutique florist is open only for Valentine’s Day, Weddings, Galas, Corporate Parties and Events.»
They are now Flora Fetish, and their website RAWKS!
Sadly, I had a friend from out of town (who has ordered from them before) ask why they no longer delivered, and I referred her to Freytag’s or King Floral. However, keep them in mind if you need a wedding or event florist!
I live close to this florist and have enjoyed giving AND receiving their flowers. And, it’s always fun to see their store decorated during Valentine’s Day.
Their flowers are very fresh and their prices really can’t be met — if you have a budget, they will work with you to provide the prettiest arrangements at a reasonable price.

I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about Carrie and Flora Fetish.
We had already met with a couple other florists before we met with Carrie, and we liked her the best by far. We told her our budget up front, and what we had in mind, and she sat down with us and showed us pictures, gave us options, made suggestions. She got our vision perfectly and within our budget.
We booked her well in advance of our wedding date, and she was always easy to get in touch with, and always was accommodating when I changed my mind about something.
The flowers on the day of were perfect (she also took care of setting up the memorial, candles on the tables, guestbook and gift table). I got so many compliments on everything — the arbor decorations, bouquets, table arrangements. I’m admittedly nit-​picky about details, but everything was to perfection! I highly recommend their services!
