My wedding was 10/14. All I ordered from here was a flower crown. I scheduled the pick up for the day of my wedding because it was a Monday and they were not open the day before. They were 30 minutes late on the pick up time so I just had to wait in the shop while they finished which on any other day would have been fine but really stressed me out. I thought it looked huge when I picked it up and even asked them to cut back some of the stuff hanging down to ensure that I’d be able to see. I should have tried it on at the shop but I was already late. It didn’t even look like my reference photos (attached). Once I got ready at the venue and went to put it on my head it was WAY too big. Like comically big. My photographer captured the moment I realized I couldn’t wear it, attached. I had to role with the punches and since I paid $200 for it, my mom altered the headband into a circle and I carried it as a bouquet which I did not want something I had to carry down the isle. Huge disappointment and I wish I had been in way more communication with them leading up to the pick up date since they obviously didn’t understand my vision. I was way too trusting. Crazy that they thought something that huge would go on someone’s head. Would not recommend.

Hi Lyndsey, We are so sorry! Thank you so much for letting us know your flower crown was ...

not what you wanted and we want to sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations. We understand that your wedding day is already stressful, and regret having a part in making it even harder. We also wish we had communicated more effectively beforehand, as your experience is truly our worst nightmare. I have processed a full refund for the cost of the crown and am so sorry this happened. Please feel free to call me at (406)542-0309 if you wish to discuss this further. Once again, we apologize and really appreciate you letting us know your experience so we can make sure it doesn’t happen again. Best, Marjorie and the BFS Wedding Team

Marjorie and her team at Bitterroot Flower shop did an amazing job with our flowers for our wedding! We wanted a "Wildflower" vibe for our wedding. They listened to what we wanted and put them together perfectly. I will use her again for any events in the future!

Our experience with Bitterroot was amazing. The florists were very helpful, especially since we were planning from out of state. We wanted to highlight the natural beauty of Montana and use local wildflowers, but we weren't sure what was in season. The florists selected beautiful flowers and made stunning arrangements. I couldn't have been happier! They were even really helpful with additional requests we had as we got closer to our date, which was a relief!

My bouquet and center pieces were absolutely gorgeous! My fiancé was so impressed with their consultation process and professionalism, and my vision was brought to life. The flowers were delivered perfectly on time and my mother was thrilled to take them home.

Lynda at Bitterroot Floral helped our vision become a reality! She was able to help me keep costs within our budget without sacrificing the beauty of the bouquets. Bitterroot was one of our easiest vendors to work with because they just know what they’re doing! Communication was wonderful and they were really accommodating

Flowers were gorgeous! The florist was flexible an allowed me to order bulk putting our centerpiece together ourselves! Found great local flowers too!

I ordered bulk flowers for my bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets and they were great!!!!! I had never seen white roses so big. All of the guests loved our bouquets and how great they looked. If you want great quality flowers that are comparable to online prices with out the stress of ordering flowers online go to Bitterroot Flower.

To keep flower costs down I only ordered my bridal bouquet and some baby's breath from Bitterroot - we made the bridesmaid bouquets on our own. I really didn't have a clear vision on what I wanted so I gave them a fair amount of creative liberty. A few days before the wedding they called and told me that three of the flowers that I requested for the bouquet were either unavailable or came in the wrong color. I am not a terribly picky person and the flowers were either replaceable or went with my color choices but it was still a little disappointing. Overall my bouquet was beautiful and I was very happy with it.

We loved our bouquets from Bitterroot Flower Shop. We had a vintage theme with lots of soft colored flowers in greens, blues, pinks, and yellows. The only part that was bad was that they started to wilt really bad before the ceremony even started. This could also be due to the heat. Overall, they turned out exactly how I imagined.

Linda did a great job with our flowers. She used a picture of my dress to help with the tone of the wedding. She is very talented. She found cute premade pomanders for my flower girls that saved me money and stress.

I called Lynda at this shop to ask about ordering flowers in bulk to arrange myself for my wedding. She was so great to help me figure out how much we needed, and what would look good together. The quality of the flowers was great, they even lasted through the night before in a hotel room where the A/C had gone out (and of course the day of). Ordering was very easy and they are more than accomodating for pickup/bucket returning. We picked up all of the buckets of flowers,which was VERY affordable, and had more than we knew what to do with. She let us return the buckets the next day even though the shop was closed that day! I would highly recommend this shop for any occasion, they are great to work with.

The florist was very helpful with providing ideas for brides bouquet when I had no idea of what I wanted. The bouquet ended up a lot smaller than what I had expected and throughout the night a few of the flowers did fall out. The colors were beautiful and better than expected.

no one can deny that Lynda and her team have an incredible design aesthetic. I sent them pictures of things I liked and they made it better. Their pricing was a little higher than we expected and at times that was a problem. Luckily they were willing to work with us. We saved several hundred dollars by providing our own ribbons and vases. My biggest complaint with Bitteroot, however was communication. I tried several times to meet with them before our wedding and it didn't happen because Bitteroot wouldn't set a date. We ended up never meeting before my wedding (they met once with my wedding coordinator). Luckily I was thrilled with the flowers but it was definitely frstrating that they were apparently " too busy" to meet with a bride.

I thought the consultations went well and that the staff was friendly. The problem...they called me the day before and said they did not have the flowers I wanted (and did not seem to care). I was nice and told them to pick something great that was similar. The problem...they day of my wedding they forgot the grooms flower. We actually had to call for a refund and they did not seem to even care that it happened. Pretty flowers, but not worth the stress.

Linda provided excellent service and the flowers looked lovely! She designed all of the personal flowers for our wedding. Linda also went out of her way to try to find garden roses for us to purchase in bulk for the arrangements.

Linda at Bitterroot Flowers simply took care of us! For a very good price, she helped us pick out the right kind of flowers for our event, took care of all delivery and pick-up, and even set up for us at no extra charge! I could not have been happier with Linda and her flower shop.

They did a great job on our flowers. They searched all routes for the specific flowers we wanted including looking into Holland. Are flowers had some brown one them like they were a little old but otherwise beautiful bouquets!
