Bakanas Flowers

I was planning my wedding from DC and came to see Kathy twice before my wedding. I don't know ANYTHING about flowers, but entrusted her with picking out what would look nice with my and the bridesmaids' dresses. She did an amazing job and they turned out beautifully. I knew I wouldn't have to worry about them after meeting up with her - it was one less thing for a bride to worry about! :) Also, the price for the value couldn't be beat (I had flowers for 3 groomsmen, 4 bridesmaids, myself, the moms and dads and Godmother)

Just wanted to let you know how beautiful our flowers were. The altar pieces at church were lovely, and the bride and bridesmaid bouquets magnificent. I loved the fragrance of the gardenias! The reception room looked beautiful with the centerpieces and the cake flowers were spectacular. Thank you for all you did to make our wedding beautiful! Best of all, you were easy to deal with......efficient, no-hassle! You have our recommendation!

Great experience from start to finish! My initial meeting for my wedding was with Debbie and she sat down with me and went over with me in great detail as I described exactly what I was picturing for my wedding and made it all possible! She was there every step of the way as I made little tweeks to my flower envision and made suggestions to help me pick the most beautiful flower arrangements that i could have in the price range that I could afford! Debbie was always available by email or telephone if I had any questions for her and always very pleasant to work with! The wedding day went completely smoothly. The flowers were delivered to my parent's house and the grooms parent's house in a timely fashion and they were absolutely beautiful. I received many compliments from family and friends regarding the bouquet arrangements. For my reception flowers Debbie communicated with the reception place directly about delivery and when I arrived at the reception hall everything was exactly as i pictured it. If your looking for a great experience for your wedding or any event go to Petals & Blooms!

Debbie Cooney (owner) has restored my faith in florists! I was actually trying to avoid bringing flowers into my wedding. Believe it or not, I am not a flower person. I wanted my wedding to be very rustic and earthy and prefer greenery, sticks, stones and plants to actual flowers. So, when I spoke to her during our initial consultation, I was surprised that she "got" me and knew exactly what I wanted. A few weeks and some research on her part later, and she had brought me some fabulous ideas, with beautiful plants I had never even heard of. The end result (5 table centerpieces, two longer arrangements, my bouquet, flower girl's, bouteniers, etc.) and delivery of the flowers was flawless. Work was beautiful. The whole process from start to finish was very smooth. Debbie was wonderful and easy to work with and created arrangements for me that were exactly what I was looking for. My hubby has been using her for years. She created the very first flower arrangement he sent me, all the flowers he sent while we were dating, and she will hopefully continue the tradition through our marriage! Thanks Petals & Blooms!

Petals and Blooms were wonderful to work with. Debbie was great and she helped to make our vision a reality. She paid close attention to every detail to make sure it was perfect. From the center pieces to the bouquets to corsages they were magnificent. The room would not have been complete without the work of Petals and Blooms. They are by far the best and I would not use or trust anyone else to do the job. They did the flowers for the rehearsal dinner also which were just as beautiful. I highly recommend them and will use continue to use them for all of my floral needs. Thank you, Petals and Blooms for making our wedding perfect!

I met Debbie and her daughter at a bridal expo and instantly knew Petals and Blooms was my wedding florist! We had an extremely small floral budget, and Debbie told me not to worry! And I'm so glad I didn't! Our flowers turned out gorgeous! The groom's boutonniere didn't turn out quite like I had hoped and I loved my bridal party's bouquets better than my own, but everything was truly beautiful!! Every conversation I had with Debbie from start to finish (be it in person, on the phone or in an email) was professional and attentive. I would love to work with them for floral needs in the future!

Your wedding experience begins the moment you start planning. Petals and Blooms truly understands and demonstrates that. You meet personally with the owner who takes her time in helping you create what you have envisioned for your wedding day. I also love the fact that when I found vases at wholesale cheaper than what their vendor could offer they did not contest using my vases in anyway. Just to show how much pride they take in their work, on my wedding day she surprised me by adding embellishments and a personal touch to an arrangement which just delighted me:) Excellent choice.

Petals and Blooms provided the flowers for my daughter's bridal shower and wedding. They are terrific to work with. They are able to understand what it is that you like and create it to perfection. The arrangements at the shower were just incredible - topic of conversation! Then came the wedding. The arrangements were just amazing. They achieved exactly what I had envisioned. Delightful to deal with. Will use them always.

Service was impeccable! Kathy was great to work with. I only knew what colors I wanted, and she was able to put together beautiful bouquets and boutonnières! I couldn't be happier and still love looking at the pictures of my wedding flowers!

Petals and blooms did a beautiful job for my wedding!! Debbie worked with us since day one and helped work around our budget without sacrificing quality! She offered very helpful advice . she kept us up to date and kept in contact with us every step of the way till the day of the wedding. We received so many compliments on our centerpieces and bouquets. The arrangements really made our wedding exceptional!

I grew up in Marlton and so I wanted to have my wedding in Marlton even though I lived in PA. Being 2 hours away, Petals and Blooms was very considerate and flexible. Debbie even responded to my emails that I sent her. Everything turned out amazing and my bouquet lasted for an entire week! Even my alter roses lasted that long after traveling back to PA with them! From the moment I walked in the door you felt like family and even greeted by the kindest pup named Ziggy! I couldn't have asked for a better florist!!!!

Petals and Blooms did an outstanding job on our flowers, which we had at the church and the reception as well as for me, the bridesmaids and all the other people in the wedding party. They delivered them to three different places (church, hotel where the groomsmen were and my parent's house). We had a yellow/gray wedding so we had a lot of yellow flowers. The center pieces at the reception as well as the cocktail hour were stunning. I especially loved the tall centerpieces with the crackled looking vases with flowers in side the vase. They also did our bows on the pews at the church which cost extra money. We met someone at Petals and Blooms 2 times, once in the beginning and once closer to the wedding to go over everything. We were all over the place not really knowing what we wanted but miraculously they were able to nail exactly what we wanted with little guidance. I was very pleased with the service and quality of the flowers. The price was a little high, but you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay more money knowing that we will be getting quality work. I highly recommend Petals and Blooms as your wedding flower vendor!!!

I was completely in love with the flowers for my wedding from Petals and Blooms! I wanted lilly of the valleys with turquoise dendrobium orchids and they delivered. I was so happy when Debbie told me she found a vendor that had the turquoise orchids. My bridesmaids loved their bouquets too. They had dark purple lisanthus with the turquoise orchids and they even wrapped the stems in matching ribbons. All the corsages and boutonnieres looked great also. My mom and I made our own centerpieces, but Petals and Blooms provided the flowers for that also and they were vibrant and full when we picked them up and still looked like that the whole next day for my wedding. I would definitely recommend this florist for your wedding!

Petals and Blooms did such an amazing job at my wedding, that I can't imagine how our arrangements could have possibly looked any more gorgeous. I feel so bad because I gave them so much work hahah because I purchased a bunch of antiques, all different sizes and shapes, and asked Debbie if she would be able to incorporate flowers and candles within these pieces. She did a STUNNING job. My centerpieces looked so delicate and elegant, and we got so many compliments on how nice they looked. In addition, Debbie is such a nice person, such a pleasure to work with! Thank you!

Petals and Blooms created beautiful arrangements and our bouquets were lovely. Plus everything smelled so good. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Thanks Debbie, Laura and Joe Caucci

When I went in to the shop for the initial consultation, I literally had no ideas about what I wanted other than colors. Kathy took the time to show me all the different options for everything (types of flowers, shapes of bouquets, leaves vs no leaves, etc)... She made everything so fun and I was not worried about anything. She also worked with my venue frequently so she knew the layout and the coordinator... Everything was delivered on time and beautiful, could not have asked for better!

Petals & Blooms is an amazing floral design shop. The designers (all very personable and talented) listened to every detail of my dream affair and made it work. I have a very strong opinion when it comes to design aesthetic and when it came down to it, all designers worked with me to find the perfect flowers to fit my look, & provide creativity and knowledge that reached beyond my expectations. They were very thoughtful, flexible, and worked as a partner when it came to price range & budget. Everything turned out to be amazing quality and well worth the price. We not only hired florists for our wedding, but truly talented artists. The table arrangements, personal flowers, & decorative touches really capped the beauty to the elegant, romantic, beach wedding we had this early October. Totally a dream come true- I would recommend Petals and Blooms time and time again!!

Wow!! Petals and Blooms did an amazing job for a very amazing price :) My Mother In Law recommended Petals and Blooms. When I went there I saw all of the awards from "The Knot" on the outside of the store and I was like they Gotta Be Good.. I told Kathy what colors I wanted and she put together a quick sample of flowers she had in the shop.. Amazing!! Even My Fiance (Husband) at the time was like that is Really Pretty :) We gave her a budget of what we wanted to spend and she went with it. On the day of the Wedding Kathy dropped off the flowers to where we were getting ready and WOW..They came out Amazing!! The colors just flowed perfectly together. All of the flowers (Men's Boutinneres and Centerpieces) came out Perfect!! We had so many compliments from everyone and when we came back from our Honeymoon they still looked amazing. Very Long Lasting. I'm Very Pleased with Petals and Blooms and Recommend Them!! Thank Goodness I went there!! Thanks, Candice

When I got engaged , having worked down the street from Petals and Blooms , I knew they were my only option. I worked with Debbie from day one and I couldnt have been more in love with my wedding flowers. She worked with my ideas , pictures and budget to a "T", and any time I explained an idea to go with my " vintage glam meets woodsy textures" for my fall wedding, Debbie had just the right flower in mind to use and had such a great knowledge of flowers( and not just everyday flowers). Any picture I brought to her for ideas, she totally outdid ! Debbie also personally delivered my flowers to my hotel room and I cried when I saw them becasue she had taken evrything I wanted ( ideas, textures, desired flowers and of course budget!!) and made everything more than what I imagined them ! I always joke that if I was rich I'd have Debbie make me a fresh replica of my bouquet every week to have on my dining table so I could stare at it every day :) She is the ONLY person I refer all my brides to :)

Having very little knowledge of wedding flowers, or flowers in general, I needed a lot of help when it came to choosing flowers for my wedding. I had pictures of bouqets and a centerpiece in mind and Kathy from Petals and Blooms was able to bring my ideas to life. The flowers she chose for my bouquet were beautiful and coordinated with the colors in my wedding. My bridesmaids' flowers were also beautiful and popped with their dresses. The centerpieces were just as I had imagined them! Everything was delivered on time and in perfect condition. GREAT JOB!

The flowers were gorgeous. The colors were exactly as described. They were vibrant and beautiful. Would definitely recommend this florist to anyone for any occasion. I couldn't haven been happier with the flowers!

Debbie from petals and blooms was such a pleasure to work with. from our first meeting, I knew I could rely on her and that my flowers would be amazing. They were so much more beautiful than I could ever imagine. And she totally was great about helping me stay in my budget without sacrificing beauty. Petals and blooms helped make my wedding a fairy tale.

As soon as we walked in the doors for Petals and Blooms, we knew we had found our florist. Debbie and her staff are so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. I felt like she really listened to what I wanted and respected our budget. At our first meeting she was able to give direction about what would look best and how to make our vision fit our budget. We walked out of our first meeting totally excited! Everything from the boutonnieres to the centerpieces to my bridal bouquet were gorgeous and spot on with my vision. Debbie at Petals and Blooms is a complete professional and I would recommend her to any bride looking for a enjoyable "floral" experience!

Petals and Blooms did an amazing job with the flowers and centerpieces for my wedding. Debbie handled my order and couldn't have been more helpful and accomodating. She helped me select the perfect flowers while maintaining a budget. Once I saw the flowers, they were more beautiful than I could have imagined. Petals and Blooms definitely exceeded my expectations.

I made my own bouquets with my bridesmaids with real-touch flowers, but the rest of my flowers came from Petals and Blooms. The boutonnieres and corsages were perfect and I was very happy with the quality of the large garden roses they used to fill mason jars. I didn't give them much direction for my toss bouquet, but it came out so beautifully!

Debbie was so wonderful to work with for my wedding. She did a fantastic job at bringing out exactly what I envisioned for my bouquets & center-pieces! She also was a wonderful help in decorating both the church and our home :) I would point any future bride in the direction of Petals & Blooms!

Kathy helped me every step of the way with all of my flowers. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience with different floral designs, and best of all she is extremely patient. Every time we went to the store, we were welcomed and Kathy took her time to make sure everything was perfect! My bouquet (and all of my other flowers) turned out exactly how I wanted. Petals and Blooms is an awesome store, and their flowers are beautiful. I would highly recommend them to any bride-to-be!

Our family has gone to Bakanas Florist for over 30 years. They did both my parents wedding and ours and I would not have chosen any other place to go! Ann Marie is an expert on what flowers and colors are available in every season. They are creative, friendly and willing to work with any budget! Choose BAKANAS Florist - you won't regret it!

We have used Bakanas Flowers for weddings, funerals, and every special occasion for the last 31 years and we have truly never once been disappointed! Anna Marie and her staff, just like her mother before her, design and deliver the most perfect arrangements each and every time. The flowers for our daughter's wedding were absolutely gorgeous! Anna Marie's time and talent (not to mention her patience!) were invaluable in helping us choose the perfect flowers for the perfect day! From the beautiful flowers in church to the fabulous arrangements at the reception to the perfectly coordinated bouquets for the bridal party, we could not have been more impressed! Each arrangement was lush and full and spectacularly arranged. Our guests complimented the flowers all day long! The arrangements were so beautiful we are planning to have Bakanas remake them in silk so we can treasure them forever. Great job and many thanks!

I had the most wonderful experience working with KATHY at Petals and Blooms. She not only listened to all of my thoughts and ideas but went the extra mile to create AMAZING centerpieces that reflected my thoughts and stayed within my budget. She brought fabulous ideas to our consultations and helped make my wedding truly unique!!!! I absolutely loved my bouquet and my bridesmaids adored the floral arrangements that were attached to their muffs rather than traditional bouquets. I would highly recommend Petals and Blooms because they far surpassed my expectations!!!!!!

I can't say enough good things about Petals and Blooms. As a bride, it was very important to me that I had "everything I ever wanted". I envisioned a perfect shabby chic wedding, with no realistic idea of how to pull it off. Debbie enthusiastically took on the challenge and was able to put my vision into a reality. I had a moderate budget and Debbie never said "we can't do this" to any of my ideas. If we had to swap out a more expensive flower, with a more reasonable one, we did it (and I promise you, you'd never know it!). All of my phone calls and emails were met with immediate responses and I felt like we were the only bride and groom in the shop! As far as the final product - it was STUNNING. My bouquet was my absolute DREAM BOUQUET (I've been married for 2 months now and I still stare at pictures of it!), my centerpieces were eye-catching, and our wine barrels were cascading with all the flowers we loved. I enjoyed every second of working with Debbie and enthusiastically refer her to anyone I talk to. If you are still looking, I promise you that you can't go wrong with Petals and Blooms. Give them a visit and you'll know why they are rated one of the best!

My coordinator was Kathy and she was FANTASTIC. She really brought my vision to reality. When I walked into my ceremony room, I could not believe how amazingly beautiful it was. My floral arrangements and the aisle was just the way I envisioned it. The centerpieces for the reception were outstanding and my bouquet looked exactly like the picture I showed her. I would definitely recommend this place. The price was very reasonable. The service and attention to detail was phenomenal. The flowers they used are of great quality as well. I was married in 11.11.11, went on my honeymoon for a week and my centerpieces and my bouquet are still alive. Hands down, I will definitely use petals and Blooms again and recommend them to any bride because they made me feel like a princess on one of the biggest days of my life.

I would definitely recommend Petals and Blooms. I had a fall wedding, and used colors that pop, like reds, yellows, and oranges. Debbie did such an excellent job, and everyone - from my bridesmaids to the other vendors - complimented the colors, types, and arrangement of the flowers. Debbie and the rest of the Petals and Blooms staff were so nice, so helpful, and a very reassuring presence during what can be a very stressful time. You will not be disappointed!

Petals and Blooms was recommended to me by The Mansion on Main Street. I have never been so thankful for a recommendation. After your first meeting, the florist designer (ours was Debbie) sits down with what you gave her and designs all of your flowers with an "exact" cost. A month before the wedding, they provided us with a mock-up of our centerpiece and Debbie knew exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately the original plan did not work oout as well as we had hoped, but Debbie worked hard to come up with a solution that looked even more beautiful. She was always willing to work within my budget and accepted an addition the week before as well. The flowers the day of were absolutely gorgeous - one of my favorite parts of the day!

Kathy was wonderful about helping to choose the perfect flower and color selection. I would recommend Petals and Blooms to anyone without hesitation. The flowers were fresh, well done and delivered in plenty of time...all this on the day of Hurricane Irene. Two thumbs up!

All of the ceremony and bouquets were beautiful and perfect. Just as I imagined

I could not have had a better florist for my wedding day. Everything was perfect! Bridal bouquets were beautiful, all the center pieces were amazing, and the pomanders and arbor for the ceremony were absolutely the best!! Kathy and her team has such talent!!! All the guests were very impressed with the flowers. They truly made our pictures perfect!! Definitely recommended!

I had met with a couple of different florists before meeting with Kathy at Petals and Blooms. She asked for ideas I had and the price range. She blew me away with her suggestions. Her friendliness put me at total ease when worked with her. The flowers were absolutely beautiful (and under budget). I couldn't be more pleased and will refer Kathy to every bride-to-be.

The staff at Petals and Blooms were absolutely amazing. I went in with only a few ideas and a certain budget for my wedding and they created beautiful options for me to chose from. Even with a last minute change, everything was perfect....more than I could ask for! I highly recommend Petals and Blooms for any occasion!

I had a great experience working with Kathy from Petals and Blooms. When we received our first quote, it was more than I was hoping to pay for flowers. When I expressed my concern, Kathy made substitutions that brought the price down dramatically without sparing any details. I was blown away when I saw the bouquets for myself and my bridal party, and was even more floored when I walked into my receptions hall and saw the centerpieces for the first time. They exceeded my expectations on all levels.

Living in the Marlton area, it was a no brainer to choose Petals and Blooms for our wedding flowers. We knew we were in good hands when dealing with Kathy and Debbie as they are both extremely patient and knowledgeable. Considering I am a novice when it comes to flowers, they guided me in the correct direction and made me feel at ease every step of the way. They are willing to work with you no matter what specifications you might have. It is hard to know exactly how your wedding flowers might look until you see them the day of, however I can tell you we were BLOWN AWAY beyond our expectations. It can be very difficult planning a wedding, but trust me if it is one thing you do, choose Petals and Blooms for your flowers...You won't regret it!!!

Petals and Blooms came recommended to me through a family friend so I decided to give them a shot and could not be more pleased with their exceptional service and beautiful work. Kathy was absolutely awesome. I was an out of town bride and she worked with me to send me pictures and discuss her ideas with me, always keeping me informed of her thoughts and working to pick the most beautiful flowers while keeping in my price range. She helped bring my dreams and vision to life and quite honestly better than I had ever imagined. We received so many compliments on the flowers and centerpieces on our wedding night, all thanks to the crew at Petals and Blooms. You will not be disappointed with this florist they are the absolute best around!

I consulted with two other florists before going to petals and blooms and they were not able to capture the style and quality of flowers I was hoping for in my bouquets or centerpieces. I picked up a card for petals and blooms at a wedding expo and I decided to give them a call. Kathy was wonderful, she worked hard to find the flowers that would be within my budget but still gorgeous. And the flowers were larger, fresher, and more beautiful that I had anticipated. I would highly recommend Petals and Blooms and Kathy to any bride. And I have done so with friends and family. Thank you, Marcella from Cherry Hill, NJ

The ladies at Petals and Blooms did a fantastic job for our wedding. They sat down with us a number of times to hash out the arrangements and helped us stay within our budget. The arrangements were beautiful, and ALL of the centerpieces were snatched up after the wedding by our guests. My wife's bouquet dried out very nicely, and she still keeps it in a glass vase on our mantle. We would recommend Petals and Blooms to anyone who asked.

Petals and Blooms came highly recommended by several people. We had an October wedding (our favorite time of year) and I was not sure exactly what I wanted, I knew that I wanted some orange and green because the bridesmaids dresses were chocolate. I met with Kathy and she knew EXACLTY what we should do. It was like she read my mind. The flowers were beautiful! I received so many compliments. I cannot say enough good things about Petals and Blooms except this is the only florist you should consider.
