I hired Beautiful Beginnings to do my wedding flowers and it was the only vendor we hired I was so so disappointed with. I hired her because of the quote they gave me but when I we...
nt to see the floral mock up it was not what we talked about or what my Pinterest board looked like at all. When they realized what I wanted the quote was triple the price and we had to take away so much to get us to budget. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went through with hiring them. Come the wedding day, my bouquet comes in and it doesn't look like the picture I sent at all. It was roses with babies breath, when I sent them one single photo and said I want this exact thing (picture attached of what i sent them), not to mention it was over a foot long, stems weren't trimmed at all which looked bizarre...they tried to fix and gave me a bouquet more similar to what I asked for...still had to cut the stems of the seclnd bouquet about 6 inches! This made me so stressed and upset which I should not be feeling on my wedding day. Every other floral arrangement compared to the pictures I sent had so much less volume, it was all so disappointing to see. The worst part, the ceremony arch...one of the things I prioritized spending money on because I loved it so much. Let the pictures speak for themselves...they made the one that looks like horns which is so ridiculous that they even think that looks similar! Every conversation we had my voice fell to deaf ears and they just did i dont even know what. We spent over 7k on flowers, im just disgusted by what we got for it.
Response from Beautiful Beginnings Flowers on 12/12/2025
Hi Sarah and Peter,
We are so sorry to hear of your disappointment and see this review. I...
n the 17 years of doing wedding florals, we rarely have couples who are not thrilled with our service, communication and quality.
I would like to address your concerns, the standard length of a bridal bouquet is 12-14 inches. which unless specifically requested, we size to the industry normal standard.
To clarify, i just reviewed your final proposal and your floral cost was not over $7000, it was $3359. plus NYS sales tax and delivery. (total all in $4083.22)The delivery/breakdown was $400, which is much more than usual because you opted to have my staff stay after your ceremony to repurpose all of the ceremony arrangements. The original picture that you sent, was well over your budget, and it was discussed at sample viewing, the exact budget down to the flower stem count that you wanted to keep. We accommodated this, but please understand that the flower quantity that you get for literally half the price is relatively half the quantity- the original quote of $7000 which matched your pinterest board was not within your reach we were told. This is why we wrote down the exact recipe and adjusted your sample with you present to make sure that you understood.
Additionally, the bouquet that we sent you was baby breath and roses, exactly like the picture on your quote- when it arrived and you were unhappy and wanted to add pink hydrangea- we quickly went back to the studio and produced a second bouquet while leaving the original behind for you to do first look. We have the second one back in time for ceremony, of course, no additional charge. We just wanted a happy couple.
Once again, sincerely sorry to hear that you were not happy - we hope that your day was an overall wonderful experience.

make our vision come true. When I say that they genuinely made my wedding ten times better, I really mean it. They are SO good at what they do and really put passion into each bouquet, centerpiece, boutonniere, corsage, etc. and it really shows. It took me months to find a florist team that fit my style as I'm VERY picky and Beautiful Beginnings checked every box I had from day one... not to mention how sweet they are. They listened to my likes and dislikes and were incredibly patient with me as I have a lot of opinions haha. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jen, Lori, and Rob! (And the puppies!)

She listened to my budget and even gave me multiple options for my flowers based on my higher end budget all the way to my lower end. My flowers EXCEEDED my expectations. Every time I emailed, I received a response within hours. My sample viewing was exactly what I got on my wedding day. It just proves you do not need to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to get really amazing flowers. All you need is someone who is passionate and talented at what they do, which Beautiful Beginnings is. Book them!

We decided on flower arrangements kind of last minute because we were having a winter wedding. A friend of mine was using Beautiful Beginnings for her wedding and recommended them ...
to me. Jenn was easy to talk to and knew just the vibe we were going for. We were concerned when their initial proposal was a bit over our budget but they helped us find ways to bring our cost down. They delivered the flowers to our hotel rooms and the venue right on time. The flower arrangements added a beautiful touch to our tables. We were very pleased.

Beautiful Beginnings Flowers is incredible! I've worked with Jenn on one other occasion and loved my experience so I knew I would be going back to her for my wedding flowers. From ...
the very beginning, Jenn was thorough and very detail oriented, which I found to be very helpful! At our first appointment, I showed Jenn pictures of what I had envisioned which helped her create an estimate. After reviewing the estimate and informing her that it was above our budget, Jenn substituted flowers that were the same color but were cheaper in price to make it work. Jenn is so incredibly knowledgeable and efficient, I really can't say enough good things about her and everyone at Beautiful Beginnings! If you book with them, you will not be disappointed and you flowers will be gorgeous!

We got married in November and I had met with a few florists before I found Lori and Jenn at Beautiful Beginnings. As soon as I met Jenn and showed her my Pinterest pictures/ideas,...
she immediately understood the look I was going for! She put together a beautiful portfolio for me after we talked about my budget and the number of bouquets/centerpieces I'd need. They also have a Pinterest page where you can see all the different weddings they've done and the different types of flower pieces they've created, which was so helpful! She was so wonderful at making my vision come to life while still keeping the price reasonable and well within my budget! For example, it was very important to me to have olive branches in my flowers, which she was able to import in from somewhere. The bouquets I showed her from pinterest all included peonies which are more expensive, but she showed me a type of rose that looks similar and is much less expensive! She put together a sample bouquet and centerpiece for me to look at a few months before the wedding, and they were just perfect. On the big day, she hand delivered the flowers herself to me, my groom, and our venue! Overall it was a wonderful experience working with Jenn and Lori. I saved my bouquet and the groom's boutonnière because they're just so perfect! I would highly recommend them to everyone and next time I need flowers again I will definitely be working with them!

The pricing was extremely reasonable! I had looked into several other florist and they were way above our budget. Jen created what we wanted and kept it to a "normal" price.

I had all white hydrangeas for my wedding and white dendrob orchards for the guys. The bouts were very nice I was afraid what they were going to look like and my centerpieces were ...
perfect in the water they lasted for a whole week! Our bouquets however did not last. I was told that I wouldn't have an issue and didn't need to put them in water throughout the day but they all were drooping and even before we left for the church a few of them already started wilting. I was very upset seeing as how they were all being put on my table for decoration and instead of them being fresh they looked terrible. But overall I got what I asked for and the price was right where I could afford. I went to another florist before them and was told the cost would be double, Beautiful beginnings will give you a true price and not rob you.
