I was so happy with my flowers from Bassett! Since we weren't doing a ceremony, I hadn't ordered any bouquets. BUT one week before the wedding, my photographer convinced me I'd regret not having them for pictures, and recommended I call Bassett. He was right! Even though the order was so last minute, Basset did exactly what I wanted and everything looked perfect!
We were married on October 23, 2020 and I cannot say enough positive words about Brooks and his team!
From the first time we sat down together (pre-covid), Brooks and I had such a connection and I felt as if I had known him for years!
He was so invested in what we wanted and how to make our day completely perfect.
Nothing about wedding planning is normal right now and we had so many changes even within 2 weeks leading up to the wedding. Brooks was so easy to communicate with and never made me feel like I was a bother with all the confusion and constant changes! It truly felt as if he made our wedding his number one priority.
When I say our flowers came out EXACTLY how I envisioned — it was as if Brooks physically took the pictures off my Pinterest board!
I could not have asked for a better florist, or friend, to have be part of our wedding and make our magical day look completely PERFECT.
I am so thankful and look forward to using Bassett as my florist FOREVER!
The flowers at my step sons wedding were absolutely beautiful and everyone was so nice at basset. Also the gazebo flowers were gorgeous!!
Brook!!!!! Ugh!!! The best ever!!!! He and his staff were so helpful and definitely made our vision come true. At the start of our search we had consulted with another florist, which did not go very well. Meeting with Brook was like a breathe of fresh air! We all instantly clicked which made driving up to Upstate from New Jersey in preparation something to look forward to. Brook was open to our ideas and vision and made them come to life. Thank you will never suffice for helping bring our dream to realty and in such a pleasant way. Definitely would work Brook and his team again!
There are no words for the beauty Bassett transformed out venue into. I wish I could post pictures because I’m in extreme awe STILL. Brooks is the best, most professional and truly brought our vision to life. We had a bit out of the box idea compared to traditional wedding decor and were very concerned how it would play out. He worked with us, offered incredible help and produced the most vibrant display of beauty we could have ever imagined. I can’t get over it.
My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Bassett Flowers! Susan at Bassett Flowers was patient as my wife and I, flower novices, explained our vision for the wedding and wedding party. She displayed her expertise, showing us flower options that complimented the decor palette, bridal party attire, and the season. The resulting bouquet featured warm fall tones with small but vibrant pops of midnight blue, which was mimicked in the boutonnières and corsages. We cannot say enough good things about our experience Bassett Flowers!
Brooks was the absolute best to work with! He is so pleasant and wants to create exactly what you are imagining. Our bouquets were stunning and the table centerpieces were everything I could have dreamed of. I would HIGHLY recommend Bassett Flowers!
My wedding was this past June and I have to THANK BROOKS and Bassett Flowers for the amazing displays and arrangements! I've searched other local florists, but from the first conversation and meeting with Brooks, I didn't hesitate to book him! He is the sweetest, understanding and most patient person to work with. With just my description, theme and color palette and a few pictures, Brooks was able to bring my vision to reality. He really is the best! I was in complete awe when I received our bouquets at the hotel.. they were so beautiful! I was able to catch Brooks at the venue setting up so I had a sneak peek of him in the middle of his work. Honestly, I would go to Brooks and Bassett flowers for any floral arrangements moving forward. You can't beat the prices, but most importantly, you'll never forget the impression they leave you. This was more than just a business transaction.. it felt like you and close friend planning together and enjoying the whole process and bringing ease to planning a wedding! BROOKS, you have our hearts! THANK YOU AGAIN! - Madette & Derrick
Brooks and his team were AMAZING! My husband and I can't thank them enough for the beautiful flowers. They truly outdid themselves and received so many compliments.
Brooks and the team at Bassett Flowers are amazing!! After a short conversation, Brooks took my vision and ran with it - and I didn't have to worry about a thing! What he delivered was SO SO beautiful and really took my breath away. Brooks was friendly, warm and very accommodating. Working with Bassett was one of the few things I actually enjoyed about wedding planning :) - and my favorite vendor by far. Thank you Bassett for making my wedding look gorgeous!
We had high-low flowers for the table, and in addition to being very reasonably priced, they were beautiful! We received many compliments, especially from folks delighted they could see and talk to those seated directly across from them.
Brooks was thoughtful, responsive, and did a great job taking a very vague impression and turning it into something real and memorable.
Brooks is AMAZING! From the minute we met him, he helped us make our vision come to life. Brooks was so easy to work with, catered to all of our needs, and is just a overall kind person! Brooks was always available for us when we needed him and truly delivered in many ways. The day of our wedding, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Every floral arrangement was gorgeous and was exactly what we wanted. From the bouquets to the corsages, the centerpieces and everything else! Thank you Bassett flowers for adding a beautiful touch to our wedding day and thank you Brooks for being so amazing! Our whole family loves you!
Our flowers were perfect! Brooks listened to every word we said and took our vision and improved upon it with his talent, knowledge and passion. Sarah helped set up with Brooks and everything was gorgeous! We received so many compliments on the flowers not just on the tables, but on our welcome sign, in the bridal party's hair and all the boutonnieres and bouquets. I highly recommend this shop - I can't imagine there could have been a better choice for us!
I worked with Brooks to plan my December wedding, and I could not be happier with how everything turned out! He was so easy to work with, and so knowledgeable. He made it such an easy, stress-free process. Everything from the bouquets to centerpieces came out PERFECT! He completely made my vision come to life. I highly recommend using Bassett Flowers!
I LOVE BROOKS!!! He was amazing to work with. I cannot begin to how amazing my flowers were. I could not stop looking at my bouquet. He had such a great vision of what I wanted and I left everything in his hands and knew that everything would be beautiful and amazing and it was!!! I would recommend Brooks a million times!
We used Bassett Flowers for our wedding at the new york country club. Brooks and his staff were AMAZING!!! We had some special circumstances and requests, and wanted to make sure to incorporate personal touches to our bouquets and chuppah. Brooks far exceeded our expectations. Our centerpieces completed the look of the whole ballroom, and 3 months later people are still talking about them. He was so on top of every request, down to flowers on the invitation table and cake. Brooks was so friendly, and funny and made us so comfortable from day 1. He promised me he understood my vision, and delivered!!! I cannot wait to work with Bassett again in the future, and would highly recommend them
I could have not been more happier with my wedding flowers and centerpieces. Brooks went above and beyond to make my Halloween/Goth style wedding dreams come true. My bouquet as well as my bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous. My reception centerpieces and candelabras were absolutely stunning. Oh and let's not forget the amazing cascade of black magic Rose's on my wedding cake. The black magic roses were so beautiful. I received so many complaints on the flowers. I got married 10/26/18 and I had one of my bridesmaids bouquets for over a week and the flowers were still doing great. Thank you basset flowers and of course Thank you Brooks 🖤
I worked with Brooks for wedding this past September (9/8/18) and it was truly one of the best vendor experiences I had throughout the whole planning process! He is not only friendly and professional but he really is a mind reader! I gave him general ideas about the look that I really wanted and he put together the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen at a wedding. I actually cried when I saw my bouquet and the bridesmaids flowers and the amazing center pieces and arch Brooks created. He captured the whimsical, boho vibe I wanted - from the expert use of lots of greenery to the flowy ribbons tied to all the bouquets - he truly made my day come together! I would recommend Basset Flowers (Brooks!) to anyone looking to have a stress-free experience with a real professional team.
I had the hard task of trying to plan a wedding in NJ all the way from London and Brooks and his team made the planning effortless. He really listened to the things I liked and disliked, and on the day, I couldn't believe just how GORGEOUS the flowers turned out. The flowers incorporated the loveliest colors of roses, one of them so rare that a retired florist at the wedding said he had never even seen a rose that color! Brooks is absolutely fantastic and so friendly, but also incredibly professional. I can't recommend him enough!
Bassett Flowers and Brooks Allen our designer did an amazing job creating gorgeous florals for my daughters wedding! We loved every bouquet, centerpiece and decor piece Brooks designed. He got our vision and executed it perfectly. It was such an enjoyable easy experience. Most notable, all the flowers smelled amazing! Secondly, Bassett Flowers is very reasonably priced. We are from out of town and expected the NY metro area to be much more expensive and were so surprised at the quality and value they provided. Amazing, A Plus, 5 Stars!
From the minute I spoke to Brooks on the phone I knew Bassett was my wedding florist, and meeting him solidified that decision. I had a general idea of what I wanted for my August wedding and from that he made ..perfection! He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process always promptly responding to my questions and making sure my fiancé Christian and I were happy. He and the staff are truly the best in the business! The center pieces, my bouquet , my ten bridesmaid bouquets and all the flowers used for my big day were absolutely gorgeous! Cannot recommend Brooks and Bassett flowers enough..Thank you Brooks! Xoxo Emily and Christian 8-4-18
Bassett recently did the centerpieces and bouquets for our wedding.
The arrangements were more beautiful than we could have imagined.
Brooks is amazing to work with! He really listened to our vision, and helped guide us through the process.
Look no further!!!
Look no further for a florist! My husband and I will be forever grateful for choosing Bassett Flowers for our wedding. Brooks was by far one of our favorite vendors which is saying a lot considering how many people you actually need to work with to plan a wedding. From beginning to end, meeting with him every time was such a pleasure. He knew exactly what our vision was and he made everything come to life with his unmistakeable talent. I truly believe the gorgeous arrangements that he created 100% made our venue unforgettable. I promise you won’t regret choosing Bassett Flowers for your wedding! They are extremely reasonable if you a working within a budget and I can guarantee the alter arrangements, centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnières they create will be breathtaking!
We were planning our wedding from a distance, and Bassett Flowers came highly recommended by our venue. Brooks was incredibly easy to work with over the phone and understood what we preferred from the provided photographs and emails. The day of the wedding, the flowers were delivered in a timely manner to our hotel for the wedding party and the centerpieces to the reception venue. The arrangements were exactly what we had envisioned and turned out beautifully. We received so many compliments on the flowers from our guests. We would use Bassett again if we’re in the area, and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for flowers for a reception/wedding at USMA or in the area.
Brooks did an amazing job creating my centerpieces, bouquets, and arch! He is very easy to work with. I was beyond happy and would recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful flower arrangements!
Let me start by saying that Brooks is amazing. When I first went to Bassett to discuss floral arrangements for my wedding, I was working with a different florist. She left the company and I feel like it was fate that I got to work with Brooks! I was a bit worried at first because I had already gone over all of the details with my initial florist, but when I went and met Brooks for the first time, I left feeling 500% confident that he understood my vision and would make it come to life on my wedding day. He did that and MORE. Not only is Brooks so fun and easy to work with, but he sure knows what he is doing. He made some awesome suggestions without ever feeling pushy, listened to what I wanted, and made everything look absolutely beautiful. We were married under a chuppah which was provided by Basset, and Brooks transformed it into a floral masterpiece. It was seriously more than I ever could have imagined. That, along with the center pieces & bouquets were simply gorgeous. Brooks also created a beautiful arrangement for our sweetheart table and an arrangement of fresh flowers on our wedding cake and welcome sign. To me, flowers at a wedding are everything, and Brooks knocked it out of the park.
Brooks is BEYOND phenomenal. Honestly everything was just flawless. Plus he’s just perfect.
This review is long overdue and beyond well deserved! Brooks and the rest of the wonderful staff at Bassett made every step of the planning process easy and super fun!! As soon as we walked into the shop we were greeted with a warm hug and a huge smile! It honestly felt like we were sitting around the kitchen table choosing our arrangements with a friend we’d known forever. We came prepared with a vision and a packet of example bouquets, boutonnières and centerpieces - and Brooks brought them to life and gave us exactly what we were hoping for! Bassett effortlessly handled our additional request for flowers for an arbor that we added to the ceremony shortly before our big day, and also perfectly placed flowers on our wedding cake which gave our ceremony and reception the extra little touches that we loved. Not only did he make us feel incredibly special throughout the planning process, but when we arrived to our final sit down meeting before the wedding with my mother whose 60th birthday was the next day - Brooks went out of his way to make her feel special too, running to the back of the store and putting together a simple bouquet to make her day! It was this gesture along with all of the other ways that Bassett helped to make our planning more fun and incredibly easy that make us beyond certain that you won’t regret choosing them for your big day! Thank you Brooks and Bassett for all you did for us!! Love, Cait and Karen
Brooks was amazing to work with! I told him I didn't want any high center pieces and I wanted everything to be simple, clean and elegant, all the way down to the bridesmaid's bouquets. He understood my vision immediately. I was under a budget and made everything work. Our venue ended up doing renovations a few months before the wedding and I had to change the theme a little; which again, understood exactly what I wanted and what I needed. Brooks made my dream a reality. I couldn't believe how the center pieces looked - everything was stunning and gorgeous. I cannot thank him and his team enough for all of his hard work! I recommend Bassett Flowers to anyone who is looking for their wedding!
We used Bassett Flowers for our wedding on October 7, 2017. To say Bassett Florists is amazing is an understatement! Brooks (owner) and Angela (designer) really are creative and offered excellent ideas and designs to make our decisions simple and easy. They helped us easily choose the bride’s bouquet, corsages and boutonnieres, the chuppah, the sweetheart table and guest table centerpieces. I gave them basic color choices and Angela came up with gorgeous flowers and designs. All were truly beautiful and hit the mark! Every flower was so fresh looking that each appeared to be cut that day. Everything we were promised, Bassett delivered and their prices were fair and very competitive. We strongly recommend them for your wedding you won't be disappointed!
After seeing Bassett's work at other occasions, I knew they were the florist for us. Brooks was the absolute best! He was sincere, funny, and willing to do anything to make my vision come to life. He offered many suggestions and made several samples to make sure everything was to my liking. They were on time with delivery and prepared for anything. The flower combinations (bouquets and centerpieces) were perfect, fit the theme, and complimented each other beautifully. Not only did they do an amazing job with all wedding flowers but they also put together amazing original centerpieces for my bridal shower. Using pots, mixers, pitchers, and strainers, they made a "tasty" display of flowers that were truly a statement piece. I will be sure to use Basset for future events and will continue to recommend them to anyone in need of flowers and memories.
Brooks is INCREDIBLE. Bassett was the first, and only, florist we met with for our wedding flowers. From the moment we met Brooks, we knew that he was going to do an incredible job with our flowers for the day of our wedding- and he did not disappoint!! I showed him a picture of my dress, told him the color palette I had in mind, and a couple of types of flowers I liked, and he handled the rest. It was like he could see my vision. Leading up to the wedding, Brooks was available to answer any and all questions we had, and was always upbeat and a pleasure to work with. When I opened the box with my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets, I actually teared up- they were absolutely beautiful! The colors complemented the bridesmaids dresses perfectly, and my bouquet was stunning. It didn't stop with the bouquets either- everything was perfect down to the petals that the flower girls threw. The floral arrangements for the ceremony were gorgeous, our centerpieces were everything we wanted and more, and the flowers on our cake tied everything together. Brooks, the team at Bassett Flowers & Gifts, and the beautiful floral arrangements helped to make our wedding day absolutely perfect.
I was so happy with all of the flowers at my wedding - from my bouquet, to the bridesmaids, to the centerpieces. Brooks is amzing - everything that he did was so beautiful and looked better than I could have imagined! He was so accomodating through the entire process of meeting with him and picking out what I wanted and stayed within budget (which was huge for me!). Once I described the colors and texture that I wanted in the bouquets, he knew exactly what I wanted and was so happy with the outcome!
The bouquets and boutonniers were delivered in large boxes on time to the hotel so that they stayed perfect until we needed them. It also made transporting the bouquets really easy. I 100% reccomend Bassett!
Bassett Florist was amazing!! Brooks was such a pleasure to work with and he knew exactly what I wanted! My flowers were absolutely stunning! They definitely completed my wedding! Highly recommend using Bassett Florist for your flowers on your big day!
Working with Brooks for my wedding flowers was an absolute dream! He completely understood what I wanted and perfectly executed my vision. It was SO much fun to collaborate with him because he was so warm, friendly, and knowledgable. We discussed my budget and not only was Brooks able to stay within it but he exceeded my expectations and gave me everything I asked for. I am 100% satisfied with the work of Bassett Flowers and only wish that I needed a florist for more occasions!
Brooks at Bassett flowers was wonderful to work with! So kind; so relatable. I went in there to talk to him about bouquets and table décor for my wedding and ended up staying longer to talk about our significant others and pets. My bouquets came out BEAUTIFUL. I didn’t even really know what I want, but I gave him a couple of rough ideas, and he came back with home runs all the way. Gorgeous arrangements, with amazing accents to every piece. They are great with pricing, and will make sure your deliveries get where they need to be on the day of your events. Highly recommend to anyone!
We worked with Angela from Bassett Flowers and Gifts for our September 4th wedding. From the moment we met Angela she was very sweet and accommodating and did everything she could to help make our wedding vision come to life! We had a large wedding party and reception and Angela was sensitive to our budget when suggesting flower options and helped to achieve a beautiful look within our means. On the wedding day the delivery ran smoothing and all of the arrangements and bouquets were absolutely stunning! If you are looking for exceptional flowers and service at a great price, you must check out Bassett Flowers and Gifts!
We worked with Angela at Bassett Flowers and what a pleasure she is to work with! The flowers as a result were just stunning! When we walked in to the venue to see the flowers on the tables and the bouquets and boutonniere I was so happy! She took all the details from our meetings and made them a reality! I asked for flowers that were seasonal and smelled delicious and that is exactly what I got! I definitely recommend working with them, you will not be disappointed!
My bouquet was breath taking and do were the custom made crossed hockey sticks boutonnieres for the guys. The arrangements that Brooks put together were spectacular.
I went to Brooks at Bassett with unconventional ideas about what I wanted for my wedding bouquets and tablescapes. He patiently helped me hone what I wanted, exceeded my expectations, and delivered at a great price. He was great to work with and I would use him again in a heartbeat.
I cannot express how beautiful my flowers were for my wedding. Truthfully, my bouquet is still in a vase because even though it has been over a week since my wedding and the flowers (although lasting a long time) are no longer suitable for display, I cannot bear to throw them out. Brooks exceeded our expectations in all areas; however, this was especially true for the ceremony flowers. I just asked for two arrangements that could be brought in afterwards to decorate the reception space (to save money) and what we ended up getting was breathtaking. Brooks was easy to work with and was very flexible. His artistic talents are clearly evident.
Bassett Flowers is, simply put, amazing! In particular, Angela was delightful to work with. From the bridesmaids' bouquets to the centerpieces to the chuppah, everything Angela put together was fantastic. Not knowing exactly what I wanted when I first met with Angela, she patiently worked with me to come up with the most beautiful arrangements. The quality and the colors of the flowers were gorgeous! I really, really cannot speak highly enough of Basset Flowers. Just the best (and, very reasonably priced to boot!).
I was referred to Brooks as the best in the business and he did not disappoint! I had a very specific idea of what I wanted for my wedding flowers... but a very specific budget as well. Brooks worked with me to make my vision a reality and I absolutely loved his work. Leading up to the wedding day, he was easy to communicate with, super friendly, and knowledgeable. Day of, I was was ecstatic when I saw his work... I had sent him tons of pictures as well as close ups of the lace on my wedding dress and asked him to mimic the cascading lace. He more than delivered and the floral arch he made for my wedding made for the perfect pictures! Thanks so much Brooks for making my wedding picture perfect!
Brooks was fabulous to work with. He helped us create a beautiful design within our budget. Brooks goes above and beyond to add the little touches to make the designs come together perfectly. All of the flowers came out gorgeous - adding color in a classy and stylish manner. The bridesmaid bouquets were exquisite - the pink roses popped perfectly against the navy dresses and really made my color scheme come to life. I highly recommend Bassett!!
My husband and I weren't too knowledgeable about flowers and felt lost when meeting with other local florists. My mom and family members told me Bassett Flowers had been doing a great job for decades.My husband and I met Brooks, who arranges flowers for weddings, at the Bridal Show at the Pearl River Hilton.From the moment we met him, we felt he understood our vision. He is friendly and accommodating. My husband thought "we were getting hosed" with other florists price quotes, however, we found Bassett to be very honest and affordable while offering top quality flowers. My bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquets and centerpieces looked great the day of and the following days.
We highly recommend using Bassett Flowers.
We had the best expierence at bassets! Brooks was absolutely amazing to work with. He listened to everything that we asked for and was available when we needed him. I asked for peonys to be worked in somewhere because it was 1 of my grandmothers favorite flowers and he worked them into my bouquet! It was so special that I was able to hold them in my bouquet. Brooks made our day look absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend using them.
We chose Bassett after meeting with Angela and watching her put together a few flowers as we talked... She was able to create the most beautiful arrangements while working within our budget. The bridesmaids were gushing over their bouquets when it came to our wedding day and, obviously, I loved mine and theirs. During our reception, I received so many compliments about how wonderful the floral centerpieces were and how beautiful all the bouquets and boutonnieres were. When looking at pictures, so many people commented on the colors and the flowers. In fact, when we returned from our honeymoon about a week later, the centerpiece and bridesmaid bouquet we had were still kickin'! I was obsessed with our flowers. Thank you does not begin to express our gratitude to everyone at Bassett!
I too loved Brooks from the first time I met him. He is incredibly friendly and warm, has great energy, and he really has your happiness at heart. He also comes up with awesome, creative ideas. I wasn't able to come see samples in advance since I live out of town, so when I came the day before my wedding all the bouquets had already been made, and they were beautiful, but he worked hard to make last-minute changes to all of them until they were 100% as I had envisioned. I could not have been any happier with them on my wedding day! They were absolutely perfect. My chuppah was gorgeous as well, and he worked within our budget. I would highly recommend Brooks and Bassett!!!!
I just got married yesterday, but before I can even pack for my honeymoon I had to write this review because the flowers at my wedding were even more spectacular than I could have ever dreamed of. I have told and will continue to tell any future bride that working with Brooks Allen is the best decision they can make. First of all, he has an incredible personality and puts you immediately at ease. He goes above and beyond to work with your style, personality, and vision. I knew that I wanted sunflowers and I wanted my colors to be vibrant, sunny, and happy. He went out of his way to show me how the flowers would look using real flowers, rather than pictures. We discussed how we could set up for the ceremony and he placed sunflowers along the chairs of the aisle and he placed coral rose petals lining the aisle as well. On my wedding day when I opened up the bouquets, they were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The centerpieces were spectacular, everyone commented on their beauty! The ceremony he set up was breathtaking as well. The photographer told me that she had never seen such beautiful arrangements!! I truly could not have been more happy with Brooks!! He is an incredibly talented artist and I recommend him 110%!!!!!
My husband and I used Bassett for our wedding and were not disappointed! Brooks is awesome to work with. He makes it a fun and stress free process with his very personable bubbly personality. I called and stopped in 100 times to ask questions, change my mind and add things and he was always understanding and tended to my every need. He put together beautiful arrangements. If what he puts together ideas on what your looking for and they end up not fitting your budget he will work with you and make sure it fits your budget and the arrangements are more beautiful than you could imagine. Definitely use Basset for your next special occasion or everyday floral needs!
Brooks at Bassett Flowers was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. From the first meeting, we felt completely at ease with him. I'm one of those people that has very clear ideas of what they want but isn't always able to describe it very precisely - a "know it when I see it" type - and Brooks was very patient in figuring out exactly what we were hoping for and bringing it to life.
Our centerpieces were gorgeous, and all of my girls and I loved our bouquets. He added in a bunch of little extras and special touches that really pushed everything over the top, like a few peonies that I loved but weren't in budget to include everywhere, and extra boutonnières for the groom and best man in case the first ones wilted. Also something that really impressed us is that he never tried to up-sell us on arrangements or add-ons we didn't need - our venue was outdoors and stunning to begin with, and Brooks was wonderful about creating arrangements that complimented the natural beauty instead of trying to compete with it.
The few hours before the ceremony are a bit of a blur and I unfortunately don't remember the name of the woman who was at the venue to set up and make sure everything stayed fresh and pretty, but she was very sweet and helpful, and everything looked fabulous even on a very warm and sunny day. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much Brooks & team for helping make our day so beautiful!
I got married on June 21st 2014 and Bassett Flowers was one of my favorite vendors. Brooks was wonderful to work with and made my wedding day so special. I am a very simple girl who really does not care/like flowers that much. My wedding colors were gray and navy blue so he helped me with deciding on white roses and white hydrangeas for the bouquets and centerpieces. They looked so elegant and clean. He incorporated the dress colors into the ribbon on the bouquets and it looked wonderful. Every time I met with Brooks I felt comfortable and he is just a great guy in general so it was wonderful getting to know him. My mom and sister also enjoyed meeting with him and thought he was spectacular as well. The woman who delivered the flowers to my house was also wonderful. I changed my mind three times on where I wanted my grandmother's flowers to go and she was happy to make the changes for me. I highly recommend Bassett Flowers and be sure to request Brooks!! He is the BEST!
Brooks was amazing! From the first meeting he really got the vision that I had for my wedding flowers. He even gave us a rose when we left our first appointment! He always was happy to see us and was more than happy to relieve any concerns that I had. He was more than available to meet whenever we wanted and gave great suggestions on types of flowers that would go best with my dress and colors (since I am not really a flower person). Brooks is an amazing florist and I would use him for any future occasion. Thank you Brooks for making my wedding bouquet and flowers perfect for my wedding day they were simply beautiful and perfect!
Brooks was amazing to work with! We worked together to create a collection of floral arraignments for my wedding. During this process, Brooks was friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgable. He was able to listen to my ideas for my centerpieces, alter pieces, and wedding bouquets then create a spectacular collection of pieces that transformed our wedding into a romantic wonderland. Everyone from the guests to the wedding party to my husband and I were impressed! He stayed in my budget and my flowers were absolutely gorgeous! He has an experienced eye and had great suggestions. I would highly recommend Brooks to anyone who is looking for an efficient, enthusiastic florist!
Brooks is AMAZING!!!!! I knew from the first phone call I had made to Bassett Flowers that I would have nothing but an amazing and incredibly happy experience. If Brooks could plan the rest of my wedding and make it as fun as he made bouquets - sign me up! He is the sweetest person ever, and has so much knowledge and is so creative. I had no idea what I wanted when I walked in there, but I left with all of my choices made, and feeling SO comfortable with anything Brooks is going to do for the wedding. He's the best! Love Bassett flowers!
I first met Brooks when my now sister-in-law used him as her florist for her wedding in 2011. We all LOVED him - he was so much fun, and the flowers were so beautiful. I still have my bridesmaid bouquet from that wedding. So I lucked out when my venue offered Bassett Flowers as one of two suggested options. I went with Brooks right away and my in-laws were so excited. When we first met to talk about our wedding I had no idea what I wanted for flowers. Brooks worked with me over the months and helped me find the right colors and arrangements to fit the wedding. He was so helpful. The flowers were beautiful - Brooks just knew what would be perfect for the wedding. I'm glad my photographer got so many photos of them. I only wish we'd have gotten to see Brooks on our wedding day - but he was busy at the venue. I would definitely recommend Bassett Flowers.
Brooks was absolutely amazing to work with! We knew we wanted our wedding to be colorful but didn't have any specific requests for flowers. My husband and I told Brooks to do whatever he wanted. He took his ideas and made our day absolutely beautiful. He's so creative and came up with amazing arrangements. We could never have imagined such a stunning display. Our guests couldn't stop talking about our flowers. In addition to his talent, he is such a pleasure to work with and he's easy to get in contact with (even on the day of our wedding, he made a last minute scramble to address something we forgot about during the planning process). I would recommend him to everyone! Thanks again Brooks!
I can't say enough great things about my experience working with Brooks and Bassett Flowers. I walked into our initial meeting with only one idea for my centerpieces and Brooks took the time to figure out what I liked, and what I didn't like. He worked within my budget and offered up great suggestions on how I could capture the looks I was going for without breaking the bank!
When the flowers were delivered the morning of my wedding I was speechless, the floral arrangements were gorgeous and Brooks totally captured exactly what I was going for. Brooks was a pleasure to work with and was always there when I had a question or concern.
I can say with confidence that deciding to work with Brooks and Bassett Flowers was the best and easiest decision I made!
Brooks of Bassett Flowers was amazing to work with! Brooks took my appointment and was so pleasant on the phone. When we met in person, he was open to our ideas and actually made our vision even better with his own. My husband and I got married in July 2013, so we wanted bright flowers and Brooks delivered. I showed him pictures and he produced flowers and arrangements that were prettier than we imagined! When I went back the second time, Brooks showed me a sampling of the centerpieces and was happy to make any changes that we wanted. After some time passed and I got a little more crazy (as all brides do!), I called Brooks and asked to see a sampling of my bouquet and the girls bouquets at which point he told me to come in whenever I was available and he would sit down again with me. Going to Bassett Flowers, I felt like I was just visiting a friend because Brooks was so nice and welcoming and truly showed a passion for his work. Besides the gorgeous flowers, Brooks and Bassett Flowers were very reasonably priced. Not only did we purchase the standards for weddings, we also rented an archway that Brooks and Bassett embellished with flowers and everything was well within our budget. The flowers were beautiful (I'm STILL getting compliments) and the price was fair; it was also a pleasure to work with Brooks. All of my future flower needs will certainly be handled by Bassett Flowers.
Brooks Allen and his team were fantastic and created the most gorgeous arrangements for my wedding. Brooks really listened to what I wanted and made me feel like we were on the same page through out the entire planning process. His team was professional and really nice and I was blown away by the final outcome on the day of my wedding!
