7Blooms

Melissa, Savannah and the rest of the team at 7Blooms are beyond exceptional. Our first meeting to discuss our vision was over Zoom with Savannah. As soon as we ended the meeting, I knew we were booking 7Blooms. She understood the vision/mood we wanted to create at our venue with just one call. The knowledge, professionalism, and kindness of the staff are superb. They respected our budget and provided calmness in the midst of chaos. The team is extremely responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!

As a florist and Wedding Planner I am always looking for vendors who not only present beautiful work but provide their services in a professional manner. Melissa and her team have an amazing ability to take design concepts after conversations with myself and or the clients and execute them beautifully. I have worked with their team for full wedding floral design as well as smaller events and they are consistent, professional and spot on every time. The variety of work the team produces and flexibility with design style make them my go to florists for our design clients. We absolutely love 7Blooms and look forward to continued collaboration on future weddings and events! You will not be disappointed if you’re looking for a wedding florist with 7Blooms you’re in great hands!

7blooms did a beautiful job for my wedding! Everyone was very nice and helpful. They helped make my wedding vision come to life! 5 stars!!!

Words cannot adequately express our love & appreciation for Melissa, Savannah and the team!!!! From day 1 they have proven to be the absolute best choice for everything wedding!!! We had to move our rooftop reception into a ball room due to weather. Melissa , Savannah & team transformed the space into the bride’s vision... it was stunning!!! They were above & beyond making this feel seamless and as stress free as it could possibly be. Thank you forever for you, your professionalism and personal touch. Jennifer & Mark H.

Our florals were absolutely perfect. The process was easy, the mood board and vision were fun to make and discuss. They stayed within our budget since the beginning price point we wanted. I had a last minute need to change spaces within our venue due to rain and this team was attentive, responsive, and honestly made quick miracles happen. I appreciate them so much and our floral pieces were beautiful.

We cannot recommend 7Blooms enough! From the initial intake phone call, to the prepared proposal, to the in-person floral review to the venue setup, 7Blooms listened to exactly what we wanted and created wedding florals that were above and beyond our expectations! The floral arrangements were absolutely gorgeous and we were blown away walking into the ballroom! Many of our guests continue to compliment us on the flowers, as they were so unique and special. Additionally, Melissa (the owner) hand delivered my bouquet, and I loved it so much that I decided to get it dried and pressed into a preserved framed arrangement, so I can have it forever! 7Blooms helped make our wedding reception so fabulous and a night that we will always remember!

Working with our Savannah and Amaranth Florist was an absolute dream come true. Their talent, creativity, and dedication transformed our special day into a breathtaking floral wonderland that exceeded all of our expectations. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Savannah was not just a vendor but a true artist. She took the time to understand our vision, our color palette, and our preferences and then turned those ideas into floral arrangements that were nothing short of spectacular. Every bouquet, centerpiece, and floral accent was meticulously crafted and thoughtfully designed. What truly set our florist apart was their attention to detail. Each bloom seemed to be chosen with care, and the arrangements were so beautifully composed that they looked like something out of a fairy tale. The colors were vibrant, the textures were varied, and the overall aesthetic was simply magical. Our guests were in awe, and we received endless compliments on the flowers throughout the day. Beyond their artistic talent, our florist's professionalism and dedication were outstanding. They were responsive, and organized, and went above and beyond to ensure that every floral element was perfect. Their passion for their craft was evident in every conversation and every arrangement, and it made the entire planning process not only smooth but also incredibly enjoyable. On our wedding day, seeing the venue adorned with their stunning creations took our breath away. The flowers added an element of romance and elegance that elevated the entire atmosphere. We are immensely grateful for the incredible work and love that our florist poured into our wedding day. If you are looking for a wedding florist who not only understands your vision but also enhances it in ways you could never imagine, look no further. Our florist's artistry, professionalism, and genuine love for what they do make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had them as part of our wedding team, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking floral perfection for their special day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so incredibly beautiful!

I was blown away by the floral arrangements created by the Amaranth team for my wedding. They took my inspiration from Pinterest and brought my floral dreams to life! We received so many compliments from our guests on how gorgeous the flowers were. I really appreciated their professionalism and advice. Savannah and Melissa were wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend their services.

I cannot say enough good things about the Amaranth team! The process prior to the wedding was collaborative and easy! They have a great website where they take your Pinterest board / inspo and turn it into a mood board with colors, lots of inspo pics for each item, detailed listing of items including the florals used. Getting to go to their studio and also talk through our ideas was really nice! I was absolutely blown away on my wedding day! They really exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to any bride!

Savannah and Melissa are absolutely amazing. From start to finish, they made us feel so comfortable! They were willing to work with any budget I put in front of them and are so detailed and organized. They were always available to chat and were quick to reply to emails which I loved! They couldn't have been nicer to work with and their shop is so gorgeous. We loved their upstairs meeting space! So chic and professional. 100% recommend them for your next event.

Working with the team @ Amaranth Florist was magical. They brought our vision to life and made our wedding feel like a fairy tale. They are all extremely professional and kind. They took off so much stress for our big day. From our initial consultation I knew we had found the florist for us. I cannot recommend them enough!!! I’m still scrolling through the photos of the breathtaking floral arrangements. Thank you Amaranth Florist!!! You made our dreams come true.

Amaranth was incredible. From the first moment we contacted them they incredible attentive and responsive to our needs. I had no idea what I was doing with florals, and they were so patient and helpful in helping me find the language to describe my vision. Everything turned out so beautifully and came together perfectly. They were also exceptionally kind - we were late on a major payment because my father in law passed away suddenly. They were extremely understanding and never rushed us. I loved working with them and would recommend them to anyone in the area!

You cannot convince me that there is a better florist in the Main Line area! I used Amaranth for my wedding and I was positively blown away with what she accomplished. It was difficult for me to picture everything coming together, but it was so far beyond amazing. I am from the Philly area but now live across the country and during a visit home Melissa took a ton of time to sit down with my planner and I to make sure my vision came to life. I had several ideas but needed guidance and she was phenomenal in helping me narrow down options. She also worked with me on budget and provided clear line items of what could be done. I’m sure other florists are great, but there is not a chance I will work with anyone else in the future for floral needs – 10/10 recommend!

Wow! That's all we can say about Melissa and her team at Amaranth florists. We used Amaranth at the suggestion of a friend and we're so glad we did. From the beginning, we felt as through Melissa and her team met our every wish from the flowers we wanted in the arrangements to working with the flower sources we requested. We had a few phone calls in advance to align on the vision for the flowers and Melissa provided a proposal with flowers so we'd have an idea of what the arrangements would look like (I know NOTHING about flowers, so this was especially helpful to me). We also had an in-person meeting about a month in advance to see some samples to ensure we were on the right path, which of course Amaranth was! The flowers arrived promptly on the the day of the wedding and held up very well throughout the day. Also, most of the centerpieces were taken at the end of the night, which usually is a challenge! That should give you an idea of how beautiful Amaranth's work is :)

Our floral arrangements from Amaranth turned out to be beautiful on our wedding day! Melissa was very nice to work with, friendly and professional. We loved our centerpieces, my bouquet, and the chuppah's flowers. It was also great that they both provided and set up/broke down the chuppah, which we couldn't find with other florists. Our guests were also wowed by all the flowers. It was sometimes a bit hard to reach Amaranth via email and phone in a timely manner, but when they got back to us, they were attentive to our needs. We would still highly recommend their services for their high quality and offerings!

We worked with Melissa and her team for our wedding and they were amazing! She made our vision come to life. She took the time to get to know us and to understand what we were looking for. When we went to her shop, she made us feel so comfortable, made suggestions and most importantly, worked within our budget. I would highly recommend Amaranth to any couple. I even got text the next day from guests about how beautiful our flowers were! We plan to go back to Amaranth for other anniversaries and events.

Go with Amaranth wedding florist, no need to think! Melissa is an amazing business owner, her team is wonderful, professional and always smiling. Melissa will take all the time you need to understand what you are looking for, has all different themes ready for you, she will customize the decoration according to what you need! And believe or not she knows the names of all the flowers in the world !!! Everything was perfect and on time. And I loved the bride bouquet in particular! I’m so happy I chose them for my wedding, it made a big difference!

I recently got married and worked with Amaranth and had the most amazing experience. Melissa and Savannah at amaranth we’re amazing! From the communication, planning details, special requests and recommendations they exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful and happy to have worked with them. If you are planning your wedding Amaranth is amazing and will create the most beautiful arrangements and centerpieces for your big day. I cried when I saw my arrangement because it was SO beautiful. Couldn’t recommend Amaranth florist enough. They are so wonderful!

I am a member of a women’s organizations that hosted a conference at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia this past July. We needed floral arrangements for a luncheon Friday afternoon and a gala dinner on Saturday evening. I have purchased arrangements and bouquets at Amaranth for different occasions before and knew their work was superb. They did not disappoint for a 300 person event. Melissa and her designers at Amaranth provided OUTSTANDING floral arrangements for both events. Their presentation and layout of the flowers providing depth with high and low arrangements absolutely took everyone’s breath away when the doors opened to reveal a magnificent rooms in two different locations. When looking for a florist for events, personal arrangements or any other floral needs, look no further than Amaranth!

We worked with Melissa Parker at Amaranth Florist for the flowers for our wedding. Melissa and her team created beautiful floral arrangements, bouquets, mantlepiece pieces, and an arch for our wedding ceremony and reception. Her team also added custom elements, such as greenery on a staircase, to accentuate our historic venue. They were very knowledgeable about floral types and colors and worked with us to bring in a variety of textures and colors to each element. Their work brought out the beauty of the venue and we received many compliments from guests. We loved how closely Melissa and her team kept to our vision in terms of colors and themes. They sent us an inspiration and mood board so we would have an idea of the flowers and overall plan before the wedding day. We really enjoyed meeting with Melissa in person at her beautiful store. She was very flexible with our plans and helpful in scaling down elements to match our budget and think through what would work best in the space. Our flowers truly tied together the elements of our wedding to create a consistent mood and theme. We are so glad to have worked with Amaranth Florist for our special day!

Melissa and her team at Amaranth were fantastic to work with. A lot of the communication for my wedding was done through my planner/designer, but every interaction that I did have with Melissa was pleasant and professional. On the day of, I was blown away by how amazing my bouquet, the ceremony flowers, and the centerpieces came out and I got so many compliments from my family and friends. Melissa and her team are incredibly talented and I will absolutely be getting more flowers from Amaranth Florist!

My wife and I got married at Parque Ridley Creek in June 2022, a large beautiful venue, and were initially going to DYI the flowers to save money.. but we got some advice later on to not wing /DYI the important stuff for so we didn’t have to stress the day of and to spare us a the extra time to focus on other things that would surely take our attention... man was that good advice. By the time we decided to hire a professional, we were very late in the game in searching for a florist. Melissa/Amaranth was one of several florists we spoke to who would “take the case”. I was immediately impressed by her professionalism, her experienced and creativity, and the fact that she was the only one that gave us a reasonable and fair price for what we wanted. We weren’t sure what to expect given that her price was so good so we were a bit nervous at first. As the wedding got closer and after a consultation or two, we got more confident in our choice! Long story short, come the day of, we were absolutely blown away by her and her team. They far exceeded our expectations and they even brought extra flowers and vinery to ensure the place felt settled into, rather than just the flowers we paid for. Everything was extremely elegant, and just the right touch. It was a hot day so they even accounted for that in timing of when they put flowers out so they wouldn’t wilt to early-things only a professional would do. They delivered way more value than we paid for and it was the best wedding investment I think we made and we were very please by the team.

Amarinth designed the flowers for our wedding recently. They turned out so beautifully! Melissa was very responsive to our messages. We shared with her our vision for the flowers at the weddings and she came up with some ideas to make sure that our color scheme came through with the flowers and that the arrangements worked well with our venues and bridal party outfits. They were very accommodating when we needed to postpone our wedding. The flowers were delivered promptly on time and in excellent condition on the morning of the wedding and the staff were helpful and kind.

Melissa from Amaranth was an absolute angel and really stood out from the other florists in the Villanova area because of how accommodating and reasonably priced she was. We wanted to do something unique and have sustainable centerpieces that were potted plants rather than cut flowers and we bought our own pots to help with the cost. She was the only florist willing to take on this additional complication and even spent time with me helping me select pots that would look good together. She made the centerpieces absolutely beautiful with clusters of multiple pots and plants of different heights and colors. Several of the guests still have the pots and plants in their home! Also, we had a hindu ceremony and needed a very decorative chuppah style structure. Her team did an absolutely beautiful job with a natural wood structure, beautiful greens and flowers, even though they had less time to set it up then planned due to issues with other vendors. Melissa is extremely personable and hardworking and is trying to make the day special for us without charging an arm and a leg. Our wedding would not have been the same without her at all and so glad she was part of our wedding. Thank you Melissa!!!

I am SO glad that I chose to work with Amaranth on our wedding floral arrangements! We had a very short timeline, but Melissa and the team executed our wedding vision flawlessly and I couldn't recommend them more! With their professionalism and artistic eye, they helped me stress about one less thing when it came to wedding planning. Thank you so much for the wonderful partnership and if you’re looking for amazing flowers for any event, look no further!

Melissa and her team did an unbelievable job with my wedding flowers. They were so kind, efficient, and adaptable. They took my many inspirations and visions and made them better than I could have imagined. They can literally do anything. My wedding guests have not stopped talking about our breathtaking mandap (altar) and garlands for our Indian ceremony even months later. As far as wedding vendors go, Melissa was a dream to work with and I was so happy and proud to be supporting a Black-owned business. Our reception centerpieces were as unique, festive, and creative as we'd hoped for. Our experience was worth every penny. Do yourself a favor and hire them. We even had a mini wedding earlier in the pandemic and they provided a beautiful flower crown and a few arrangements for that as well.

Amaranth is the best floral artistry AND the best price I could find in the Philadelphia area. I got estimates and had consultations with more than 5 other florists in the area and they were going to charge me more for work I didn't like as much as Melissa's. From our initial consultation, she was so happy to make my vision come to life and make her own suggestions to make it unique and budget friendly. When my mom wanted to make centerpieces for my cocktail hour, she helped her design bud vases for which she could make really unique arrangements! With our numbers changing due to Covid and other changes in my vision, Melissa was flexible with all of it and answered my countless emails and had a second meeting to review everything with me at no additional charge. From my bouquet to my chuppah, everything turned out so beautiful, lush, and romantic - multiple guests told me they felt like it was the secret garden. I am so happy we used Amaranth and can't wait to get the professional photos back to add to my review.

Melissa and her staff at Amaranth Florist were a joy to work with, and I highly recommend them. We began working with them in 2019 for my daughter's 2020 wedding. Then the pandemic hit and we had to reschedule for 2021. Amaranth was with us every step of the way, adjusting not just date but venue changes. As we got closer to the actual wedding date, our numbers kept dropping as folks became concerned about traveling due to Covid. Melissa was so responsive and flexible in making the needed changes. What I really appreciated about them was their willingness to work within our budget, allowing us trim some costs by providing our own candles and candle holders. As for the flowers, they were truly lovely. In particular, they worked hard to create a bridal bouquet that minimized overly scented blooms, to accommodate my daughter's allergies. All the bridesmaid bouquets and grooms people's boutonnieres were gorgeous. The pallet was white and green and they found varied textures and hues to make the bouquets really pop. The decorated chuppah and simple greenery on the tables was exactly what my daughter and her husband wanted. Amaranth delivered beautiful flowers at a reasonable cost and did so with top notch service. I cannot recommend Melissa and her team more highly!

Thanks to Amaranth Florist we had the wedding flowers I've always dreamed of. They made our vision a reality and I highly recommend!

Amaranth did an amazing job for our August wedding! Melissa really listened to what we wanted and was able to turn our vision into reality. The bouquets were beautiful and Amaranth was able to incorporate a special "something blue" into the bridal bouquet. The centerpieces and the altar arrangements were also lovely! We couldn't be happier with Amaranth!

My husband and I recently got married at Appleford Estate in Villanova, and absolutely loved working with Melissa and Amaranth. I found Melissa and team to be personable and were very attentive to my ideas in the consultation. From the ceremony arch display to the bouquets and centerpieces, their craftsmanship was impeccable. I couldn't recommend them more!

Melissa and her team did an amazing job with our flower arrangements. They listened to all of our request and quickly updated the proposal as we made changes. We were even able to schedule an appointment in the store with Sophia to go through some options to lower the cost on some of our candle centerpieces. The day of everything was delivered smoothly and was perfect. All of the flowers were very fresh and the arrangements we took home lasted well into the following week. I would definitely recommend them and use them in the future!

Posting a little late, but just wanted to commend Amarath florist for the amaaazing job they did with my flowers. We had our small minimoney wedding mid covid craziness in October 2020. I was so stressed with all the changes in plans and ended up planning most of my wedding details in the last 4 weeks leading up to it. Luckily Amaranth made it so easy! Just a few quick phone calls with Melissa and a hastily made Pinterest look board and my vision was 100 percent captured. Even though I had never seen the flowers in person I felt totally comfortable with the plan. The. On the big day, the flowers were delivered on time and in beautiful condition. My expectations were met and by far exceeded. I could not have imagined a more beautiful bouquet. 100 recommend Amarath for any wedding or any occasion!

Amaranth made the most beautiful, unique bouquet for my micro wedding. I sent in an inspiration photo and they not only nailed it, but the owner thoughtfully added in additional stems to enhance the bouquet's beauty. I received so many compliments from friends and family, who were forced to witness our ceremony through photos. Amaranth's bouquet completed my wedding look perfectly and brightened our wedding photos. Highly, highly recommend!

The Amaranth Florist team was one of several amazing local florists who worked together for the Equal Dignity Pop Up Nuptials in Philadelphia, PA in November 2020. The whole venue looked like a fairy tale... the photos are even being published in a wedding magazine!

Amazing florist! (Mother of the Bride review) We hired Amaranth for our daughter’s wedding 10/31/20. We had interviewed 3 other florists but felt an immediate connection with Melissa, the owner, and Joy, her assistant. They truly understood the bride’s vision for wedding day. Our church flowers looked absolutely amazing - captured the magical look the bride hoped for! 6 weeks prior to wedding date, we had to switch to a tented venue. Amaranth totally awed us with their floral creativity in helping to transform the tent. Many of our guests commented on the flowers and the venue looked absolutely amazing with the dramatic effects! Melissa is very professional, listens and is super creative. Her suggestions throughout the process were quite helpful. We are so happy to have chosen to work with them and they are our new local florist also. Would highly recommend hiring them for your wedding needs. Professional, talented and most of all simply very nice folks to work with.

A friend of mine used Amaranth several years ago. Neither of us knew management had changed, but it didn’t affect our decision to move forward. Our initial appointment was the last day before everything shut down from the pandemic. As the big day got closer, Melissa was primed and ready for last-minute decisions. Everything was beyond beautiful and I can’t wait to use this florist in the future for whatever floral needs we have.

I can not begin to express my gratitude for Melissa and Amaranth Florist. Our wedding flowers were outrageously beautiful! Out of all the vendors we had for the wedding, the flowers exceeded my expectations! They even added flowers to our cake! I am so thankful we found Amaranth and Melissa was so easy to work with!

Amaranth did an AMAZING job. Joy and Melissa were so great to work with. They listened to all of our requests and followed through on them. The flowers were completely stunning (from the wedding canopy, the arrangements on the tables with the lanterns, to the boquets, nosegays and corsages) and I’m so so happy with how they turned out!!! Would HIGHLY recommend! :)

I have been an Amaranth customer for years, and always knew they would be our florist for a wedding. When my daughter became engaged, Joy immediately started planning with us. She listened carefully to what my daughter wanted and created a stunning array of flowers for our wedding venue. The colors, the arrangements, the attention to every detail was magnificent! Melissa arrived on the day of the wedding to set up the chuppah and ensure that everything was just perfect. How fortunate we are to have such a talented and loving florist in our neighborhood! Thank you so much, Melissa, Joy and the team for helping us create such a beautiful wedding for our daughter!!

Joy and Melissa were a delight to work with. They were very relaxed and flexible and completely understood our vision. The quality of their flowers and design is superb and they were friendly and supportive of us throughout. Highly recommend!

The crew at Amaranth are amazing! When I called about a quote for our wedding I had a very specific vision for a fall wedding and they were able to deliver that to me within the budget I had. The staff at Amaranth really listened and visualized with me about what vision I wanted to create. The flowers and garlands that Amaranth created were so stunning, everyone at the wedding was absolutely gushing over them! We really had a great experience and you cannot go wrong with Amaranth Florist!

Amaranth was a complete 5-star service. We would recommend them to anyone! Melissa was wonderful and fun to work with and she nailed every single detail that was requested....

Gorgeous flowers. We received SO many compliments on our flowers and so many requests to take home the centerpieces. Melissa executed my vision to a T and Joy went out of her way to help me which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend for beautiful florals!

Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! I cannot recommend this florist enough!!! My flowers came out absolutely stunning and everyone that attended commented on how beautiful my bouquet and the rest of the flowers were. They worked hard to create a beautiful display within my budget, accommodating any changes I requested and checking in the week of to make sure everything was perfect. So glad I them for my wedding!

Melissa and her team did an incredible job on our bouquets/boutonnieres/centerpieces! Our inspiration meeting was really fun, Melissa is such a sweet person, and I appreciated that she looked through my Pinterest board to understand what I wanted. We did have a little miscommunication issue with the pricing, but Melissa was such an upstanding florist and really kept my interests in mind with patience and understanding. Everything turned out beautifully - my bouquet was stocked full with gorgeous flowers, smelled incredible, and had such pretty ribbon tied to it. It was HUGE too, giving me an arm workout throughout the day! Thank you Melissa and Amaranth for taking my vision and budget into account - I truly appreciate you all!

The flowers for our wedding were spectacular! Joy, Melissa and their team took inspiration from my favorite exhibit at the Philadelphia Flower show and made it come alive at our wedding. The bouquet and arrangements were so creative and beautiful. It was beyond what I could have imagined! Thank you Amaranth Florist for being a part of our wedding day!

You will likely not find a better price along with a high quality of work. The process was easy from start to finish and the result was breathtaking. Melissa took what we discussed along with my pinterest board and created wedding arrangements, bouquets, and decor better than I could have imagined. I am an indecisive person so I asked her opinion a lot and trusted her input. She could have up-sold me several times while we did a walk through to finalize the details but took into account my vision and the venue to make sure everything was just right.

There's something to be said about a florist when you give the vague direction of "greenery with white flowers" and they produce the most beautiful bouquets, center pieces, arch covering, and candle arrangements that you've ever seen. Affordable, friendly consultants, and no-hassle set up for our wedding at Merion Tribute House on NYE make Amaranth five-star in my opinion.

Had such a wonderful experience with Melissa and her team at Amaranth. My husband and I went a slightly "different" wedding route - had a courthouse wedding, followed by intimate family dinner, and then hosted friends at a bar the following night. We worked closely with Melissa who really understood the feel of the day(s) and created a bouquet and arrangements that were STUNNING. We were able to use the arrangements at both functions and received tons of compliments on how beautiful they were. Melissa is super easy to work with, responsive over email, and prices are very fair. Will endlessly recommend her team and will go back to the shop for any other floral needs in the future. THANK YOU, TEAM!

Loretta is truly amazing. Our wedding was 9/28/18 and I wanted very specific things. Loretta did everything as discussed and it truly was amazing. The flowers she used were large and fresh, and her creative is very impressive. I would highly recommend this shop for flowers!

I cannot recommend Amaranth enough! They had, by far, the best prices of anywhere I looked and were so easy-going and nice throughout the planning process. I am not someone who knows a lot about flowers and don't think I described what I liked very well but somehow Loretta understood my vision. The girl who delivered/set up the day of the wedding executed everything perfectly; I was overwhelmed with how beautiful all the greens and flowers looked. Amaranth did our bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony decor, flower girl baskets and flower crowns, flowers on our signs and for the cake and our reception centerpieces and everything was exactly like I envisioned!!

Hi Lorretta! Sorry it has taken so long for me to get this thank you to you! I just wanted to thank you for the most amazing flowers in the world! You truly are a master at what you do! The flowers were identical to the arrangement I gave you! When I saw them for the first time on the tables it took my breath away! Thank you for making our daughter's wedding so magical! Then, when I got a look at the bouquets, I was blown away by how incredibly beautiful they were! They complemented the girls dresses so perfectly! I truly was speechless when my daughter put on her dress and was handed the bridal bouquet! Wow! My family will forever be indebted to you for making the wedding a day of utter beauty! When it was time to cut the cake, again I saw perfection! The bridesmaids had put their bouquets around the cake and it was gorgeous! The flowers that you chose to decorated the cake with were stunning! The look of all the flowers in the wedding as a whole reminded me of the most beautiful vintage lace, and they were so perfectly in keeping with the natural beauty and elegance of Appleford! Thanks to you and your staff the wedding was something I and my husband could be proud of even on our tight budget! You made my daughter's dream of the perfect wedding come true! I will of course, be recommending you and Amaranth Florist to all my family and friends! I will also, make sure to write excellent reviews online! I hope I will have the priveladge of working with you again because from the instant I met you I sensed a genuine kindness and sensitivity within you and these qualities are reflected in the beauty of your work! Thank you Lorretta! Wishing you continued success! With much gratitude, Meg, Sasan, Helana, Ryan and the rest of our Family

I cannot say enough about my experience with Loretta. She did an amazing job on our flowers for our wedding and was so pleasant to work with. I will continue to use Amaranth for any future floral needs solely on how great of an experience we had! Her prices are so incredibly fair and the floral arrangements she gave us were gorgeous.

Loretta was awesome to work with, beginning to end. I wanted soft creams and pinks with anemones to match the navy in my bridesmaids dresses. She created a mock up based on a limited description I gave and it was more beautiful than I could imagine. People kept commenting on how gorgeous the flowers were, and she came in wellllllll under other florists price quotes. I cannot recommend her enough for her talent and ease of service.

Loretta did a great job on my flowers and they were beautiful.

Our wedding was October 21st of this year. I originally had the idea of placing antiques on all of the guests' tables with flowers accenting them. Loretta was very willing to work with our vision and provided samples when we visited the shop in May. Flash forward two weeks before our wedding. I had completely changed my mind about the antiques. I called Loretta about this and we met to go over the new centerpieces. She was INCREDIBLY flexible and our centerpieces came out even more gorgeous than I ever could have envisioned. My bouquet was more stunning than the Pinterest pictures I sent to her, and my bridesmaid's bouquets were beautiful and so full! I have received so many compliments on my bouquet, it was a topic of conversation at the wedding. I would highly recommend Loretta and her team for any wedding. Thank you again for making our wedding day so beautiful!

Loretta and her team did an absolutely incredibly job with the flowers at my wedding! She was extremely helpful throughout the process, suggesting greens and flowers that were beautiful and affordable, and taking a number of changes throughout the planning process in stride. Loretta was by FAR the most affordable florist I contacted, and you would never guess from how beautiful the arrangements were. I wanted unique flowers with draping arrangements, and she absolutely delivered, suggesting flowers and finding ones that I suggested. I collected tons of brass candlestick holders and vases, and she incorporated them beautifully into the arrangements. Shortly before the wedding, we changed the table arrangements to have family-style long tables, and she accommodated my vision of greenery garlands down the extra long tables with no issue. The week before the wedding, she had me come into her shop to show me all of the flowers that she had ordered for our wedding and pointed out which were going to be used where. At times, communication was a little bit slow -- Amaranth is a small business, so I completely understand -- but in the end, everything was perfect. She really went above and beyond, and I cannot recommend Loretta enough!

I am so grateful one of my friends recommended Amaranth! From the moment I reached out to Loretta, she made the entire process easy and stress free. Not only that, our flowers turned out breathtaking and better than I ever could have imagined. Loretta is very flexible, and even when we provided her urns to create our altar that were triple the size we had originally planned for with only a week until the wedding, she made a masterpiece! Our reception was at Union Trust, and Loretta did a phenomenal job of taking our vision for the center pieces and complementing the venue. All Loretta needed was a few pictures from pinterest, to make everything in our wedding come to life. We spoke to several other florists who were "designers" and were double the price from Amaranth. THANK YOU Loretta for making our wedding day a dream come true!

We were so thrilled with Loretta and her team at Amaranth Florist! We highly recommend using them for your wedding! We were planning our wedding from afar and she was very responsive to emails and was so flexible with any changes I wanted to make. The price was so much better than other florists in the area and we were so impressed with the bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and displays - they all completely exceeded my expectations! I can't thank Loretta enough for helping to make our wedding day perfect.

Planning weddings can be stressful, but Loretta from Amaranth is so kind and gentle mannered she put me totally at ease. She was able to provide everything I needed and more well within my budget. (About 1/3 of the MINIMUM order for some of the other area florists I contacted.) Guests would have never known that my floral budget was small...we had greenery and flowers all down a long center table, floral arrangements for 6 rounds, cute little bud vases for cocktail tables, a gorgeous large arrangement in the entry, a HUGE (way bigger than I thought it would be but people loved it and I got an arm workout haha) bouquet for me, beautiful bouquets for the party, etc. She found the peonies, ranunculus and other flowers I loved in bright gorgeous colors perfect for our Cinco de Mayo wedding! She worked with the decor I had and provided vases and containers for the other arrangements. I highly recommend working with Loretta and Amaranth for you Philly-area wedding. She's the best!

Loretta is seriously the best ever. She perfectly executed my vision beyond even what I had imaged. Her price is right and she is amazing to work with. Book with Loretta and then check it off your list! I was never once stressed about our florals because she is so creative that no matter what she does it turns out extraordinary.

We met with Amaranth because we liked the wedding photographs we had seen on-line. There was a certain natural style to the arrangements and bouquets that fit with our vision. After meeting with two other florists and a talented free lance floral/event designer, we decided to go with Amaranth. Loretta, the owner of the shop seemed to understand what we wanted and took copious notes at our meetings. Her quote was also competitive with the others. Loretta and her staff did a great job using photos we provided as guidelines. At my request, her assistant even returned to the shop to add a few finishing touches to some of our centerpieces. I would be happy to recommend Amaranth .

I highly, highly recommend Loretta and her team at Amaranth Florist for your wedding flowers! She did an impeccable job and completely captured my vision in both her centerpieces and bouquets. She was very responsive to my emails with photos to better understand the style and vision. She met with me several times prior to the wedding and created a mock-up of centerpieces. The flowers were absolutely stunning and my bridal bouquet was perfect. And she works with your budget! I am so thankful that Loretta made my wedding day absolutely stunning with her floral arrangements.

Loretta is such a sweetheart! She brought all of my visions to life. My wildflower bouquet was absolutely stunning with hanging greens that could not have been more perfect. My bridesmaids were along the same lines and the colors popped perfectly. The centerpieces were marvelous and all at a reasonable price!

We chose Amaranth Florist from an online recommendation and we are so glad that we did! I met with Loretta to talk about what I wanted, and she sent me a quote that was very reasonably priced and included everything that we asked for. She was very responsive via email and set up appointments for me to go over things and view samples. The day of the wedding, we were so pleased with how everything turned out - the bouquets were GORGEOUS, the flowers for the men and our mothers/grandmothers were perfect, the set up for the ceremony was just how I imagined it, and the centerpieces for the tables were incredible (we asked for super tall branches with lights and she delivered). I would highly recommend using Loretta and Amaranth Florist for your wedding!

We are absolutely thrilled with how the floral arrangements and bouquets turned out for our wedding! We have gotten so many compliments from family and friends. Loretta was wonderful to work with! Communication was quick and she accommodated all of my last minute requests. Loretta was also willing to work within our budget and the result was fantastic. The flowers came out better than I had imagined and I would definitely recommend Amaranth Florist!

Loretta is a WONDERFUL, incredibly talented florist. I came to her several months before our big day with a bunch of unique ideas for our winter wedding, including DIY vases and a whole vision for centerpieces. I came back in a second time, and she actually created a sample table centerpiece for me to see! She consistently communicated with me, my mom, and even my maid of honor from the first consultation up until the morning of the wedding. She was on board for anything I wanted to do, and she kept true to our vision in every way. She incorporated pieces of my dress, suggested flowers and greens that would help the price, and took last minute requests in stride. Our personal flowers were gorgeous - matching in theme but unique in their own way - and they arrived on time to the church. Our centerpieces at the venue was set-up meticulously; we received countless compliments. And the price? PERFECT. Other vendors wanted to charge so much more, and Loretta knew how to keep the plan within my budget. I am so grateful to have worked with her, and I will be going to Amaranth for any of my flower needs again!

Amaranth made absolutely beautiful bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids and put together large flower arrangements to decorate our venue. We also rented an arch, which was decorated as well. My experience with Loretta was great and everything turned out better than I could have hoped on the big day. The flowers arrived where and when they were supposed to and looked perfect! I found that phone contact was a better method of communication than email with Amaranth.

From the moment we walked into Amaranth, we had a wonderful experience. Loretta guided us through the wedding flower process, showing us examples, asking questions and giving us ideas. She gave us exactly what we wanted and more! From our Chuppah (which was breathtaking) to the bridal bouquets, centerpieces, and even the place card table-- the room was BEAUTIFUL! Amaranth is affordable and so easy to work with, I wouldn't consider working with anyone but Loretta!

Loretta Barnes at Amaranth Florist provided the vision and worked to create the most beautiful centerpieces, a perfect bridal bouquet, and an elegant and beautiful chuppah. She worked with us to design and enhance the table decorations with candles, and included candles in the wedding venue which transformed the space. The wedding venue was transformed by the flower arrangements and the artistic array of candles. Although Amaranth was reasonably priced, the flowers were bountiful, beautifully arranged and did not give the slightest hint that cost had been one of our considerations. Ms. Barnes was attentive to our suggestions, patient, and professional. She delivered a beautiful and elegant event which surpassed our every expectation, and helped us stay within our budget.

Fabulous. Did just what I asked, made it look amazing. Left us with many little keepsake vases.

I could't afford to spend more than $2k on 19 centerpieces, bouts, and bouquets and they gave us beautiful arrangements in our budget. Loretta is willing to work with you, but isn't great at working with people. She's not rude or mean, she's just a little off, not a great saleswoman, but most of her job is working with flowers so its not a big deal. I was disappointed because she was not able to get any hops for the bouts (we got married at a brewery), but didn't tell me until 5 days before the wedding. They ended up being beautiful, but not what we had agreed upon.

Loretta Barnes was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning of my daughter’s wedding. After meeting with several other florists we recognized that Loretta was the only one that understood that while flowers were important for the wedding party and the ceremony they would play only a minor role in the reception decorations for my daughter’s themed wedding. Loretta is very talented and the flowers were just beautiful. Due to a last minute issue with a particular flower’s unavailability we could have had a huge disappointment with the wedding party centerpieces but I was able to suggest a solution which Loretta executed perfectly. Her prices are so much more reasonable than others and she is so flexible in making changes that arranging for the flowers was effortless. We were very pleased with Amaranth’s services.

Loretta was really nice, but a little spacy. I asked a few times to see examples or a mock up of my bouquet and/or centerpieces and she seemed to forget before each meeting. It turned out really beautifully and I had seen pictures of her other work, so I trusted her, however I would suggest being very specific in your requests.

Overall I was pleased with the flowers. I loved the centerpieces and the alter arrangements for the church. The only compliant I have is that the bouquets for my maids of honor were not the right color. I wanted yellow bouquets for the maids of honor and the bouquets they had were white. To me they did not really stand out when compared to the bridesmaid’s bouquets. But the price was great and Loretta was really sweet and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Amaranth to another bride.
