This is not Ken's first rodeo. He is the CEO of a consortium of special event and floral decor companies that have been active in providing a whole host of event production services to small, large and very large corporate events for over twenty years. Oddly enough, the very start of building these burgeoning business entities was starting a strictly floral company called Floral Affairs of Washington.
In a matter of speaking, he has come full circle in creating yet another strictly floral decor company Garden Vivien. This time with a mission of service in honor of his late daughter Vivien. He invites you to read "about her" on this same site. Ken is very excited, indeed passionate about building this very new Luxury Brand floral event and design company that serves the local community and is true to its stated mission.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with the folks at Garden Vivien for my Wedding in November.With so many florists in the market place, it was tough to find the right fit when it came to design and budget. I am apparently more particular than I realized and wanted to find someone I could trust to come up with a cohesive and show stopping design that would compliment my day and not think twice about it. Despite the pandemic most florists I knew of were booked but lucky for me I found Garden Vivien and I can't rave highly enough. From our initial "meeting", to inspiration boards

Garden Vivien absolutely exceeded expectations. I'm visiting family in the area and had a last-minute perfect gift inspiration of white orchids, and they were the only place I called that had them. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was very pleasant and assured me that Michelle could put something together for me in about 15 minutes. He was also extremely helpful and unflappable when I called again to direct my nice but confused Uber driver on how to find them. When I arrived Michelle was incredibly gracious as well, despite my "OMG I'm running late" energy. She helped me pick the plants

FIVE STARS to this vendor for the beautiful bouquet and seamless delivery! I got a photo from the recipients - the designers’ choice is stunning and everything went off without a hitch! What a relief when sending such a personal gift from all the way across the country that they all handled it so beautifully.

I couldn't be happier with the customer service and artistry of Garden Vivien. I placed my order by phone from the Midwest and received calls and texts from the staff there to ensure that I got exactly what I wanted. They exceeded my expectations! An absolutely perfect arrangement that delighted me and the recipient of the flowers-thank you!

I saw the ad for Garden Vivien on YouTube and I called Michelle on Friday afternoon. I came in on Saturday to see her work when I saw her work I was blown away and I placed an order. I came back an hour later and I saw the bouquets they were absolutely beautiful! She did such an amazing job and I could tell she put in a lot of thought and work into the bouquet. Thank you Michelle!

Making arrangements while grieving the loss of a loved one has been extremely difficult but working with Garden Vivien felt like a complete relief. We went to them without an idea of what we wanted but knowing we needed something special for a wake and funeral. Ken was so helpful and took care of everything. The arrangements were elegant, tasteful, and provided the comfort we needed. The deliveries were on time and there weren’t any missteps. It was so nice knowing professionals were handling everything and overall it was a wonderful experience.

I recently ordered from Garden Vivien and am completely delighted. The flowers were a get well gift. When a mix up on my part with the delivery occurred, they immediately stepped in and helped me get the flowers, to their destination on time and with personalized service, The flowers were beautiful. Quality and artistry describe the beautiful arrangement. If you want a designer approach to your floral order Garden Vivien will not only create a beautiful arrangement, they will ensure you’re satisfied.

Ken and his designers were an absolute dream! Firstly, the florals were exactly what I wanted - ethereal, seasonal, romantic, and wild. They turned out so much better than I had imagined, and I couldn't believe the bang we got for the buck! Secondly, it was so enjoyable and easy to work with them! They were able to get us everything we wanted and needed a week before the wedding (back yard/elopement) and were so responsive and friendly. Do yourself a favor and book them - they will go above and beyond to make your wedding beautiful and stress free!

Ordered xmas flowers for mother in law and wife. Very worried ordering from business with zero reviews but they are on BloomNation. Flowers were delivered on time and were AMAZING. Exactly what is pictured. Will be my go to for flowers in the silver spring area. A little expensive but def worth it for the design and quality. Thank you Garden Vivien!
