John from A Personal Touch was so amazing to work with. This guy knows his stuff! We were not surprised by his work because he is a well-known florist in our small town and his work is always top notch. When it came to planning our wedding, we knew just who to ask as a florist. I knew what I wanted but couldn’t put it into words. John used his creativity and made the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces I could have ever imagined. He also dressed our ceremony arch with the perfect amount of greenery and hung more greenery from the chandeliers. He worked through the pandemic with us when we needed to postpone our date and he even worked during Mother’s Day weekend to deliver and put together all of our arrangements at our venue the day of our wedding. Everything was perfect and he was so reasonable. I highly recommend him for all events, big or small!
We worked with John at A Personal Touch for our wedding at Nanina's in the Park, and would highly recommend him to anyone. John went above and beyond to deliver our vision. When I first met with him, I did not know what I was looking for. I told him I wanted something less formal and little more rustic. Immediately, John gave me some ideas for lantern/flower centerpieces with lots of greenery, with matching flower arrangements for my girls. On the day of my wedding, I was blown away by the arrangements. They were truly stunning. They were elegant but not formal and stuffy. John gave put candles into the lanterns which made the entire room glow. It was beautiful. John is an artist and he knew what I wanted even when I didn't. Highly recommended florist for any occasion.
Words cannot express how truly incredible John made our special day. Initially I came to him being unsure of exactly what I wanted - he listed, asked the right questions, spent time looking through some inspirational pics, and then we brainstormed an idea that exceeded my expectations once executed. He’s got a wonderful eye, a wealth of experience, and is dedicated to making dream displays come true!
Having known John for years we put all our trust into him for our Wedding Day flowers. He did a beautiful job and everything looked perfectly elegant. He did not try to up sell or have us go above what we felt comfortable with. He had exactly the right touch. We could not have been happier and everyone was WOW’ed with the beautiful centerpieces.
Unfortunately I did not have a perfect experience with this florist - 2.5 stars. I found John to be a bit pushy and opinionated at our first meeting, and I should've probably taken that as a red flag. There were certain types of flowers I told him I disliked, such as daisies and dusty miller, that he insisted would be great and didn't want to take out of my order. Of course these were all over my arrangements. My bouquet was not what I envisioned at all, nor were the bridesmaids bouquets. I asked for much more greenery and a more rustic style than what I was given, the colors were wrong throughout the venue (pink and bright pink when I wanted very light blush, white, and greenery). All of this despite showing & emailing him multiple photos of the vision. He did fix my bouquet a bit before leaving the venue but my bridesmaids bouquets were totally wrong and did not match their dresses or my bouquet. The only arrangements I truly loved were outside at our ceremony. The reception centerpieces again were the wrong color and I just found everything to clash. I'm trying not to let this bother me but the flowers are in every picture. John however was affordable, on time and tried his best to fix my bouquet the day-of. I just wish he had listened to me more rather than insert his own opinions and preferences on the arrangements.
My husband and I got married on July 29. As soon as I met with John, I knew he would bring my vision to life! John and his team did not disappointment! He made sure my centerpieces were perfect to balance out our venue! John made sure my bouquet, a large one at that, had everything I wanted! The bridesmaids’ bouquets were absolutely perfect! The guys’ flowers held for the entire day, plus some! John really knows what he’s doing and would recommend him and his team at A Personal Touch!
From the 1st meeting we had with John to our wedding day -- A Personal Touch Florist was always on the same page with my husband and I. John was fun to work with and listened to what we were looking for and also gave great advice/suggestions on things to make it less stressful for us. The guy knows his stuff! This is a place you can trust. All of our guests commented on all of our flowers from the bouquets to our centerpieces- they all wanted to know where we got them from. Go to A Personal Touch and meet with John -- you will get more than your monies worth plus fun conversations with him because he doesn't just see you as a paycheck like most other places will. You are treated like family when you are there.
Thanks John!!
We went to a Personal Touch Florist following the recommendation of a family member and after seeing a fantastic flower arrangement. John was so helpful. He was able to recommend flowers that would last through the day and ensured the classy, upscale feel we were going for. He was a true professional and was good at responding to emails. Arrangements were beautiful and did not overtake the wedding party. We highly recommend A Personal Touch not only for wedding flowers, but any other party arrangements you may need.
A Personal Touch Florist did the centerpieces on the tables at our wedding reception, the memorial vase and provided the fresh flowers for our cake. The best words to describe how it looked are beautiful and elegant - all our guests were hoping to be able to take one home. In retrospect, I wish I had also used them for my church flowers and bouquets.
My wedding was on Sunday March 13, 2016 at The Park Savoy Estate, and the flowers Jon put together for us were absolutely amazing! He really helped bring my vision alive and I am so grateful for all of his suggestions and the beautiful flowers! We recommend A Personal Touch Florist to any bride looking for beautiful flowers and someone with amazing ideas to help bring it all together!!
John at A Personal Touch was really great to work with! I went to about 4 or 5 different florists for consultations before choosing A Personal Touch. John listened to my ideas and vision for my wedding, but also made me comfortable that he knew what he was doing and was a pro. I am by no means an expert on flowers, but I did have a couple things I had my heart set on, so he worked with me to design things that would be cost-effective yet suit my vision.
We ordered all the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages from John, as well as two large floral arrangements, chair bows, and an aisle runner for the ceremony. The price was reasonable so I feel like we got good value for what we paid, and professional quality work. The flowers were as beautiful as promised and lasted throughout the night and even next couple days. My bridal bouquet was truly perfect, and I have gotten so many compliments that day and now that we have our pictures on how gorgeous it was!
Highly recommended!
From the moment I set up my appointment with John I knew this was my last stop searching for a florist for my big day! His professionalism over the phone and his eye for flowers was truly amazing! I met him, told him the colors I was using and he new exactly what would make my wedding breathe taking! He gave me so many ideas and I thought I had it all right and was ever so wrong! With out his work and eye for flowers it wouldn't have been as beautiful as it was! When I walked into the room and saw my center pieces I was blown away! They were just perfect! My flowers, the bridal party and the parents flowers were just magnificent! I will definitely be recommending Personal Touch to all my upcoming brides and for all you floral needs! Simply Gorgeous
I don't know much about flowers... I also had no idea what I would like in terms of centerpieces, etc. In looking through pictures I found what I liked: something classy and yet simple... I chose cylinders with orchids + floating candles to surround. I brought this picture to John at A Personal Touch florist and he perfectly executed it!
When it came to the bouquets, I was completely lost - his suggestions sounded great, and they turned out BEAUTIFULLY!
Everything came on time, I had nothing to worry about on the day-of.
I don't typically write reviews but was overly happy with our flowers and with John's vision. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a florist they can trust to execute your vision, AND if you're like me and have no idea what would look nice- they are even better at this!
I booked A Personal Touch Florist for my wedding day flowers, and I could not be happier! John was a pleasure to work with and listened to everything that I wanted. As an experienced florist, he knew the look I was going for and was great at giving me his advice for what would also work to compliment my ideas. I was beyond thrilled, and blown away with how beautiful all the flowers looked! My bridesmaids’ bouquets looked so full and robust and the colors complimented the bridesmaids’ dresses perfectly! My bouquet was stunningly elegant, and John went above and beyond to make it perfect! He decorated our church with ribbons on the pews and beautiful arrangements at the altar! The reception hall flowers and centerpieces were breathtaking…absolutely stunning! When I walked into our reception I could not believe how the flowers just completely transformed the room into this elegant ambiance! John did a great job getting the look I wanted with crystal jewels draped at the top of a large vases for the centerpieces…but it didn’t just stop there; I had roses in the stems of the vases with lights that lit up the centerpieces. John also did a wonderful job decorating all the tables with rose petals: the cake table, the place card table, our head table…it was truly so beautiful! Our head table looked absolutely stunning with all the bouquets placed on it, with rose petals sprinkled though out and with floating candles with sunken red roses! John’s work truly transformed our wedding into a beautiful and elegant affair! I highly recommend booking any affair with John at A Personal Touch Florist…the name says it all…John really puts his personal touch on everything and he truly goes above and beyond!
Picking out flowers for our wedding was something I had no interest in doing. So much in fact that I put it off until about two weeks before the wedding. You see, I know absolutely nothing about flowers. Nothing--except for what I don't like, which is basically about 90% of all flowers on the market. Impressing me was a challenge that John was more than ready to take on. John knows his stuff, knows flowers, knows what you want even if you don't know how to express it. Most importantly, he takes the time to really work with you.
When John tells you he has it under control and "don't worry about it"--he means it and produces. Our flowers were delivered on time, our arrangements were flawless, and my bouquet was even better than I imagined. John was also able to incorporate in it: a bracelet from my soon-to-be mother in law as well as two special charms.
Many thanks to John and the team at A Personal Touch.
I was married this past July 2013 and this review is WAY overdue. John and the Personal Touch Staff did an over the top job on preparing my wedding floral designs. From the flowers and bows put out at my mom's house and the church, to the outstanding centerpieces created just right for my reception, all work was just stunning. My guests raved about my bouquet and the bridesmaid's flowers, and every little touch put into the designs for the day definitely didn't go unnoticed. John and staff, thank you for helping to make my wedding day a dream come true!
John was great! He was so helpful and always provided advice. He made this process a fun and enjoyable one for me. Very professional and knowledgeable! Definitely, definitely recommend him! My flowers were beyond words!
John did an amazing job with our flowers. He is willing to work with your budget. I had no clue what I wanted and John gave me excellent suggestions and made everything look beautiful. Guests at the wedding all commented on how well all the colors and flower arrangements went together. He also decorated my cake with real flowers to make it look amazing.
I had a small wedding so I only got flowers for the bridal party and the church. The flowers were absolutley gorgeous and came out beautiful in the pictures. I had callalies and roses. They were pricey though!!
I was recently married on March 9, 2012. Based on Nanina's reccommendation I checked out Personal Touch Florist.I worked with John the owner. He listened to every word I said. It was very important to me to keep my wedding simple yet beautiful. I did not want large exaggerated centerpieces that blocked my guests from seeing one another. All of John's suggestions were wonderful. When I showed up to the venue, it was EXACTLY what I asked for. He worked right into my theme and I was very pleased. You'd be doing yourself a favor by using Personal Touch Florist.
