Absolute perfection!! I could not have loved our florals more, and didn't even realize how much I could love them. Erica/Blooms of Boston is AMAZING. Incredibly talented. Erica was also very communicative, patient and attentive in going back and forth about the details, and so capable in getting everything done day of. I really appreciated how all every aspect of the florals went so smoothly without having to think about it at all. I didn't have to give one thought to it weekend or day of- I forgot to even worry about it because Erica gave off such calmly confident and experienced energy. I was SO lucky my sister had hired Blooms of Boston for her wedding the prior year, as this was one vendor I didn't think twice about hiring after seeing her florals. Could not recommend enough!!
Erica/Blooms of Boston did an excellent job with the florals for our wedding. Very easy to work with, beautiful flowers, and reasonable prices. We actually used fake candles instead of flowers for our ceremony and they worked great. Would highly recommend Blooms of Boston.
Erica from Blooms of Boston was great! She executed the vision perfectly and everything looked beautiful. My bridesmaids couldn’t stop commenting on how pretty the bouquets were. Very professional and easy to work with!
Erica was the absolute PERFECT choice for our wedding florist! I gave her some inspo pictures of what I wanted, explained our wedding aesthetic, and she truly made everything look magical. She was also so responsive and helpful throughout this whole process. Go book Blooms of Boston as soon as possible!! Thank you, Erica!
Erica, I wish I could give you more than a 5/5! She is such an artist! I really wanted something more wildflower and rustic for my November 2023 wedding, and she more than delivered. I was blown away when she delivered my flowers and I got so many comments around the flowers. She listened and understood my budget and did not waste time with multiple phone calls. She got right to the point.
She also worked with me around the budget. She knows the Oceanview of Nahant so the day off was a breeze. Do not hesitate to work with Erica - you will not regret it!
I'm so thankful to have worked with Erica at Blooms of Boston for our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process she was professional and responsive. She completely understood our vision and brought it to life better than we ever could have imagined. She knew our venue (Oceanview of Nahant) really well so she knew exactly what needed to go where which was a huge help for us. Cannot recommend Blooms of Boston enough.
Erica was absolutely wonderful and did such an incredible job with our florals!! Erica executed our vision perfectly. And the end result was the most beautiful florals I have ever seen from the bouquets to the church pieces to the centerpieces - everything she did was absolute perfection. And she made the process so seamless for us. Can’t imagine a better florist!!!! We also really appreciated that she took our budget very seriously and she helped brainstorm ways to get the most bang out of our buck which was important to us.
Blooms did such an amazing job and made our wedding so special. They matched our vision perfectly. The flowers were absolutely stunning. They really enhanced the space/wedding and made everything look so beautiful. We received so many compliments. We are so happy and would highly recommend.
Blooms of Boston was absolute PERFECTION for our wedding day!!! The florals were literally breathtaking. When I first saw them that morning I literally gasped at what they had created. When it came to decor, the flowers did alllll the talking! They were big, wild and fun!! Literally far more than I could have ever asked for or imagined. As a little flower child myself, when planning out our wedding florals, I had endless ideas. I probably emailed the girls far too many times but they never missed a beat!! I didnt have a color scheme in mind just a feeling. I kept referring to a summer sunset, boho, wild flower, enchanted garden type of vibe- like what does that even mean LOL but these ladies made it happen!!! Their creation was so unique! They felt so authentic to me I truly almost cried when I saw the final product. These ladies were so easy to work with. Extremely communicative and honest. They were also so clear with me throughout the process and extremely helpful. When it comes to wedding, were always eye rolling at the price tags on everything but when I say these florals were literally worth every penny, I mean it!!! I mean my wedding bouquet has literally been the background to my phone since we got married lol so if youre here for advice on whether or not to book, look no further!! These ladies are incredibly talented and so professional. Booking with Blooms was definitely one of the best decisions we made. You really are in such good hands when working with them and they make you feel that way throughout the entire process. And I mean they're just so impressive!! They've honestly become one of my favorite instagrams to follow just so I can continue to see what incredible pieces they create! They make every venue look so enchanting. Our wedding florals will forever be one of my most favorite details of our day <3 We love blooms so much!! You'll feel so lucky to have booked them!
We booked blooms of Boston based on a recommendation by our venue. The consultation process was very easy and they were very easy to work with. We hadn’t planned on spending as much on our florals but in the end I think it was worth it. Kara helped us to maximize the bang for our buck and everything looked gorgeous. I gave them a basic idea of what I wanted and trusted them to create something beautiful and classic and they certainly came through! We spent a lot of time trying to find a vendor that had a chuppah for our non-denominational ceremony and Blooms of Boston was one of the only vendors who could actually provide a chuppah and the rental price was reasonable too.
Erica and Kara were wonderful from start to finish when providing wedding florals for our big day. They listened to our ideas and kept in mind our budget throughout the process. They are very talented and provide gorgeous arrangements that show range and variety. While we had no specific design or flowers in mind Erica and Kara walked us through some options and absolutely nailed it. We would highly recommend Blooms of Boston to all of our family and friends as they helped to make our wedding perfect.
I found Blooms as they were the preferred vendor for our wedding venue at the Oceanview of Nahant. When I initially looked at pictures of their past weddings on their Instagram page I was even more convinced this was the right choice. I loved the usage of color and variety in their arrangements. Once I reached out to them, they were a joy to work with. They take the time to get to understand your vision and really tailor what you want within your budgetary guidelines.
Another thing that was very important to me was having a decorated chuppah. I was thrilled to know that Blooms had a chuppah rental at a reasonable price that could be decorated based upon the color scheme and flower types we had discussed. When I saw the final product of everything, I was so excited that my vision had come to life! They do such a wonderful job and are so easy to work with! I highly recommend!
Erica was fantastic- when we got to the venue everything was exactly as we requested. She is also extremely communicative and gives clear, direct answers which made the process much easier for us. Thank You!
I found Blooms of Boston through our venue and I am SO happy we chose them! Erica & Kara are so kind, patient, and easy to work with. They brought my vision to life and I am forever grateful they helped make our special day so beautiful.
Erica and Kara absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. From cancelations and postponements, Kara and Erica were by my side. They listened to my ideas and visions and created an even better reality. Everything from the bouquets, to the boutonniere's, to the simple yet elegant center pieces at our venue was beyond beautiful. Hiring Blooms of Boston to create the floral design for our wedding was one of the best decisions! Thank you Erica and Kara!
Not only were Erica and Kara pleasant and easy to work with, our ceremony truly came out more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed of! With ZERO effort or stress from me.
From the beginning, they were not only flexible, but understanding with my budget. I provided some pretty simple details for our vision like colors because I am a “trust the expert” kind of person. Boy, was that the right decision. Erica and Kara responded with a vision that met EXACTLY what I had in my mind. When we arrived the day of our ceremony, they had made that vision come to life more beautifully than I even imagined. They used some left over roses to add to our aisle markers which looked amazing!
If you follow Blooms on social media you can tell Erica and Kara are not only hardworking and passionate about what they do, but they care about each person they work with. I can’t recommend them enough!
Erica and Kara are so easy to work with, they're very accommodating and They reply to all my inquiries in a timely manner. I was so indecisive with what style of flowers I like, I think i showed them a bunch of wedding flower inspo, But they were very patient with me and guided me through it all. On our wedding day, the flower decor was exactly how i envisioned it! I am so grateful to them for making my wedding dreams come true. So to anyone who's looking for a florist, I highly recommend Blooms of Boston. Kara and Erica, surely are a power duo!
Kara & Erica are amazing!! My wedding was in Newport, RI and I was looking for some fun florals to capture summer, sunset & being near the ocean. They had exceeded any expectation I had and was in awe when I walked into the tent. The florals & table settings elevated the space to another level and it looked absolutely incredible! Kara & Erica were so easy to work and communicate with! I would send them over inspiration photos and they would help me narrow down my vision. We had a variety of different flowers, colors, vases, candles, etc. and it all came together perfectly! Many guests came up to me during and after the reception commenting on how beautiful the floral arrangements looked and some even took some home with them! Blooms of Boston is the best and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding florist!
My wedding venue (Oceanview of Nahant) recommended Blooms of Boston as they had previously worked with them. I took a look at their website and was so pleased by the pictures and variety of options they had created in the past. I set up a meeting with Erica to discuss my vision. She asked me to send her some examples and then promptly sent back a proposal. She had perfectly captured what I was hoping for, but the price was a lot higher than what I was expecting (not saying that Blooms is more expensive at all - it was more my ignorance about the price of flowers haha). So when I called her back to discuss my price point, she worked diligently with me to get the cost down to where I was comfortable, whilst still providing an amazing amount of beautiful flowers for the day. Erica was also super transparent about cost and what is necessary v. not necessary at Oceanview since she had experience in the past. She even recommended using our bridesmaids bouquets to decorate the fireplace instead of paying for an extra arrangement. I seriously appreciated this! I also want to mention how easy Blooms made the day-of preparations. They dropped the bridal bouquets and groomsmen boutonnieres off at the hotel where we were all getting ready and set up everything at Oceanview themselves. Everything looked perfect. They were so easy to work with and made everything beautiful. Thank you so much, Erica and Kara, for everything!
Eric and Kara were amazing to work with! They looked through pictures of my vision from hair pieces to bouquets to centerpieces and made everything come to life just as I had envisioned. I work in the beer industry and they filled beer growlers with flowers in the most elegant way, and it made it so personal. I would recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing florist!
If your looking for florists who are complete perfectionists than I’d say blooms is the pick for you. I cannot ever thank them enough for how amazing everything turned out for my wedding. My bouquet was everything I dreamed of and then some. I sent them pictures of things I had envisioned for our flowers, center pieces and florals for decor and I was blown away with how on point they were. Seeing everything come together after all I was the happiest bride ever. I will continue to use them for any floral needs in the future and I suggest you do the same. Thank you blooms for making some of my dreams come true!
Both Erica and Kara were a complete pleasure to work with and all their work was simply stunning. They totally brought our visions to life and more. Both the bridal party and the guests raved about how gorgeous everything was.
My husband and I hired Erica and Blooms of Boston back in 2019 for our July 2020 wedding. When the pandemic hit, we made the difficult decision to get legally married on our original date (50-person family only), but push off the big celebration till 2021. Erica was MORE than accommodating with us rescheduling the date, she made a really difficult decision so much easier. Unfortunately, after much back and forth, my husband and I recently decided to cancel the 2021 reception altogether, and use the money towards buying a house. After already rescheduling with our vendors, we were extremely nervous cancelling altogether. Yet again, Erica was lovely, understanding, quick to respond, and empathetic to our situation. We pushed off so many things to 2021 thinking we'd get another shot at our dream wedding, including all our floral. Obviously with that now not happening, one of our biggest regrets is not having floral at our legal family-only celebration this past July. I know Blooms of Boston would have exceeded expectations, but regardless of how this year turned out, I'm happy we made the decision to sign them back in 2019. I would highly recommend them purely based on ease to work with and outstanding customer service, and we'll be using them for any floral needs moving forward!
Blooms of Boston was so easy to work with, especially considering how COVID really put a wrench in our plans. Going from a 200 person wedding to 40, they made it so easy and stress free to rearrange our plans. They did great work and the bouquets were beautiful!!
Erica was great to work with. I hired her based off her being a preferred vendor and I'm glad she is. First off, we did everything on line which actually turned out to be great during a pandemic! I gave Erica the flowers I wanted and she truly worked magic in bringing these flowers together. The flowers were vibrant and beautiful, so much so I am preserving my bouquet to look at for years to come! Thank you so much!
Erica and Kara were amazing at making our big day beautiful.
We got married at Oceanview of Nahant and Blooms knew exactly what to do to make our day beautiful. I had given the ladies a vision board I made of hydrangeas and tea roses I wanted, and they took that idea and ran with it. The colors were gorgeous and they made sure my bouquet popped with fun colors of peach and pink.
We had a driftwood arbor during our ceremony and I had asked Blooms to decorate it with crawling hot pink flowers, similar to what you'd see in Italy or Greece. They were able to find the flower I was looking for and recreate the crawling type look on the arbor to make it look like the flowers had been there all Summer! My whole family was blown away by how gorgeous the flowers came out. Flowers/decor were the one stress I didn't have to worry about on my wedding day because Erica & Kara took care of it all. They will be sure to make your wedding day beautiful as well, I highly recommend Blooms of Boston to anyone planning a wedding in New England!
Thank you again ladies.
Erika & Harrison
Erica and Kara of Blooms of Boston were one of the easiest parts of our wedding planning process. Their responsiveness, expertise and creativity were top notch. From the moment we met I totally felt understood and they just “got” the look I was trying to capture. The moment I saw our flowers my image just came to life flawlessly. We could not be more grateful to have had them as part of our perfect day!
Blooms of Boston did such a perfect job with my flowers. The rain threw my wedding day for a loop, but they were flexible and totally understanding of the craziness. They understood my vision completely and delivered on everything I was imagining. They are quick to respond to you and so easy to work with. Highly recommend to any bride who is looking for beautiful flowers and a company who just gets it!
Erica is amazing! She was so easy to co-ordinate with. We had a few emails back and forth during the entire planning process, no calls, no in-person meeting (by choice, I could have set those up easily) and everything she did was PERFECT. I had so many other vendors who required much more communication, so having the flowers be so easy was a blessing. She knew my venue (Oceanview) inside and out and made suggestions for saving money based on decor she knows they would use. she was so helpful and all my girls raved about how gorgeous the bouquets were. I was even able to leave my mom's old lace and Nana's ring at the venue during the rehearsal for her to pick up and wrap my bouquet with. everything was just SO easy with her!
Ladies, look no further! Erica and Kara of Blooms of Boston are absolutely amazing!!! It was so easy and pleasant to work with them. The flowers on the day of my wedding were exactly what I had visioned and more :) They love what they do and that is easy to tell by just how beautiful their work is! Thank you, ladies!!!
Where do I even begin…Kara and Erica were an absolute dream to work with and made all my wedding day visions come to life. A friend of mine had used Blooms of Boston about a year before and when I got engaged they were one of my first calls. I had a very distinct look that I was going for, and was honestly nervous going in that any florist was really going to understand or be able to grasp it. I of course had a whole vision board on Pinterest that I had shared with them before our initial meeting, and was so relieved to hear them say they could totally see ‘my vision’ when we met. They worked within my budget and whenever I strayed off, they made sure to tell me up front and make sure I knew exactly what I was looking at so there were no surprises at the end. Any questions I had about coordinating colors, signs, or design aspects, they were there to give their opinion, calm my nerves, or simply tell me to chill out. They worked amazing with my other design vendors, Lakeview Pavilion, Peak Rentals and Antea Amoroso, going above and beyond to make sure all details were perfect for that day. I think they must have reached out to all vase vendors in the New England area for the perfect tall candlestick vases and even brought in specific flowers from South Africa that I couldn’t go without. When I asked for bud vases for my farm tables, they quite literally whipped out 450. When I tried to change my linen colors two weeks out, they rolled with it. When I said I didn’t want anything down the aisle, they suggested the most perfect and simple idea last minute that was beautiful. When me and my mom completely disagreed on votive candles they made it work so we were both happy. And when I asked for the most extra bridal bouquet, they completely outdid themselves in every way, actually bringing me to tears. I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve received on all of the flowers from that day. My most favorite is “…and that bouquet!”. Yes, I was the girl with the 30 pound bouquet, and yes my arms killed, and yes it blocked my face in a few pictures, but it was by far the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, and I wouldn’t have changed it for anything. Our wedding day was by far the best day of our lives thus far and I can’t thank these two ladies enough or give them enough praise for making the day the vision that it was.
Erica and Kara at Blooms of Boston are amazing! I knew I didn't want to spend a fortune on flowers so they helped me work within my budget to still have absolutely gorgeous bouquets. I don't know much about flowers in specific so I gave them photos of my girls dresses, a few colors, and my "vision," and I trusted their expertise. They literally brought my wedding vision to life with stunning, muted, whimsical bouquets. They were already at my venue, in vases, ready to go by the time I arrived. People raved about them. I cannot say enough! Trust the experts.
I am so happy I chose to use Kara and Erica of Blooms of Boston. They were so friendly, accommodating, and responsive-- definitely the easiest vendor to work with throughout my whole wedding experience. Kara and Erica are extremely passionate about their work and they wanted to make sure that my vision came to life. I told them I wanted all white flowers, and loved mirrors-- so they went out of their way to find the most incredible mirrored tall vases they could find! They honestly exceeded my expectations and created centerpieces as well as a bouquet that I was so in love with. They also created 4 massive arrangements and helped transform my ceremony space. We got so many compliments from everyone at the wedding. I can't say enough good things about Blooms of Boston. I would highly recommend them for a wedding or any event.
My husband I were just married in October 2018, and we cannot say enough great things about Blooms of Boston. Leading up to the event, Kara and Erica were a pleasure to work with - very responsive and always happy to meet and discuss ideas. Then we were thrilled with how the flowers were at the wedding. They truly brought the whole day together... Everything- from my and my bridesmaids' flower bouquets to the table and vase arrangements- was beyond beautiful. And getting married under a stunning arch flower arrangement that they created is something that we will always cherish. We had so many guests comment on how beautiful everything was and we are so thankful for all of the hard work that Blooms of Boston did for us. We highly recommend them for the flowers for your wedding!
Where do I begin with Blooms of Boston? They were recommended to me by a friend and I will be making sure to recommend them to everyone getting married from this point forward.
I had an idea for what I wanted, and Kara and Erica brought me to tears with the final product. No I am not exaggerating, I cried walking into my venue seeing the centerpieces. These two girls knocked it out of the park. I couldn't have dreamt that the picture I had in my head could not only come to life but be better than what I had expected.
They are so beyond talented, knowledgable, accessible, professional and understanding. Every step of the way Kara was on top of every little detail. Details I didn't even know existed!! Guests at our wedding were raving about the centerpieces and bouquets, they truly were like something out of a dream.
I really can't say enough good things about Blooms of Boston. Kara made wedding planning easy and fun. She and Erica are two of the most thoughtful and talented florists you will ever have the pleasure of working with. Together they made my day absolutely perfect.
I cannot say enough about Blooms of Boston! They were a preferred vendor at the venue we were getting married at, and I am so glad I reached out to them for our wedding. I know it's hard to believe but I only ever communicated with Erica via email and she was such a gem. Her response time was impeccable. I want to say the longest an email response ever took was an hour and the shortest was probably 5-10 minutes! I know that most brides would not go this route but I had such a busy schedule and she was so detailed and thorough that communicating via email was so helpful for my hectic schedule. Erica offered to meet with me closer to the wedding but I had so much trust in her that I felt it was not necessary. All the flowers were absolutely beautiful and really tied in with the theme and look I was going for. In addition, Blooms was so accommodating- I emailed them having a panic attack saying I totally forgot to add flowers to our cupcake stand and she said it wouldn't be a problem and added it right in! I can't thank you enough Blooms of Boston. Thank you for giving me the wedding of my dreams, my husband and I are eternally grateful.
Kara and Erica exceeded every expectation I had for my wedding in October! They were professional, responsive and truly a pleasure to work with! They are true artists and have an amazing gift! Their bouquets and center pieces blew me away with how stunning they were and brought our wedding to life! I would highly recommend them!
Kara and Erica exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day! When we met with them for the first time my mom and I could not have been happier. We had expressed how little we knew about flowers, but had a few ideas and they went above and above to make these ideas a beautiful reality! They worked with us to include every little detail we wanted and make any changes we had along the way. The flowers were absolutely perfect and they went well above and beyond! Everyone could not stop talking about how beautiful the bouquets and centerpieces were. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you ladies <3

Kara & Erica were so amazing to work with! I started with a small flower order and changed my mind about three times adding more. They never once had a problem with that and easily added everything I wanted. I started by telling them I had no idea about flowers and only knew what I wanted from pictures I saw. They took my inspiration pictures and ran with it! Everything came out so amazing and beautiful! I 100% recommend Blooms of Boston!
I used Blooms of Boston for my wedding in April. They were helpful and accommodating throughout everything. Erica gave me advice, sent pictures, and created the most gorgeous bouquets for my big day! I have been recommending them to anyone i know getting married and will continue to do so! Everyone at my wedding noticed the gorgeous flowers and ill forever be thankful for their beautiful creations! Thanks for making my day perfect!!!!
Erica and Kara are simply the best! They were so easy to work with, perfectly captured our wedding flower vision and were truly just so nice. From our initial email correspondence, to our first consultation to the big day, they were great every step of the way. They're super responsive and accommodating, but most importantly are masters at their craft! Our flowers were beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Our guests raved about them and were thrilled to be able to take them home at the end of the night. If you're looking for a florist you need to book Blooms of Boston right away!
Working with Blooms of Boston on while planning my wedding was SO easy. I planned my Boston wedding from Florida. Kara and Erica were both so helpful every step of the way and really responsive even when we were a year and a half out! They truly brought my vision to life. They were also so accommodating - I had a few changes along the way as my colors were changed a bit; they were happy to make the changes for me. I would highly recommend Blooms of Boston to anyone. I keep telling them they are magicians because they truly are. Kara and Erica can really bring your visions to life. Thank you so much, Blooms of Boston! I hope to work with you in the future or see your work at my friends future weddings!
If I could rate higher than a 5 I would!! From start to finish and then some, Erica and Kara were a dream to work with. Every flower was absolute perfection and they helped make a day I wish I could relive over and over again. Best in the business!!
Working with Blooms of Boston while planning my wedding was super easy. Erica and Kara were in constant communication from when I first reached out until our big day. They went above and beyond: making an advance trip to the venue to take measurements and surveying the space, answering all of my questions, and taking every step possible to make my vision a reality. From the flowers lining our aisle and archway to the garlands in the ceilings over dinner, my bouquet, and everything in between; our guests were blown away by the flowers at our wedding, and couldn't stop raving about them. I would recommend Blooms of Boston to any bride, especially if you've got a unique vision of how you want flowers to play a role in your day; they will make it happen for you. Thank you ladies!!!
Kara and Erica made our wedding a gorgeous, fairytale wonderland. They were fantastic to work with - creative and fun, with an eye for detail. I loved working with Blooms of Boston!
