You can also tell she has years of experience and this wasn't her first rodeo. She was so helpful and so respectful of my budget. AND my flowers were GORGEOUS. Other florists said I couldn't get so many beautiful center pieces and flowers with my budget but Carol somehow made it happen. She took my vision and brought it to life (it sounds cliche but it actually is true). I don't know how she knew exactly what I wanted from my few pictures and ideas I showed her but she nailed it. She also did all the centerpieces/glassware, set up and took down at the end of the night. I am so so happy my friend suggested them!

Our wedding planner recommended Carol at Blossoms Florist and said she always follows through, but warned us that she can be flaky. Well, Carol is a great person, but as a business owner she needs MAJOR help! She is the MOST disorganized person...
I have ever met! I went above and beyond and made Carol typed out inventory sheets on number/kinds of flowers, where they should be placed at the venue, number of candles and where they go, and the number of vases we needed. I also gave her EXACT photos of what we wanted. We ended up having 2 mockup trials. The 1st did not go well and we did not like our flowers. The 2nd trial went great and we had beautiful flowers. However, after calling/emailing multiple times to get a final bill, we never got it! We had to sit down and help her type out our entire bill and show proof that we had already paid for half. Then, the week of the wedding Carol contacted me for photos? She said she had no record of me sending them already? I resent all photos including photos from our trial, so she couldn’t mess this up, right? Well, the ceremony flowers were delivered to our hotel and we had to transport them. This was after she told us she can only deliver to the ceremony and reception. The ribbon color used was white, when all my documents say ivory and Carol even confirmed with me in person we wanted ivory. Our dinner table flowers looked nothing like the beautiful arrangement we saw in our mockup. They were small and didn’t have nearly as many flowers. Also, there was not nearly as many candles as I requested. No one at our wedding noticed something was wrong with our flowers, but the fact is, we gave Carol all the tools to succeed over and over and she still let us down. She may be less expensive than other florists, but it does not save you the headache from having to babysit her. I hope she hires more staff to help her get organized and help run her business because she actually is good with flowers, just awful at running her business.

Carol Ruffin is amazing. Blossoms did the flowers for my wedding, and the work was stunning. From our first meeting, I knew we were going to have fun together. Our initial meeting included talking about bouquets, boutonniers and centerpieces. ...
The second time we got together I had a ball designing each tablescape with her extensive collection of vases, votives and decorations. She not only provided our flowers, but gold overlays for our dinner tables, all candle holders, our alter arrangement, table numbers and card holder. I will admit that the best client for Carol is someone who is detail oriented. I was assured everything would be delivered as expected due to the detailed order forms I had to fill out and photos of each table. There were a few instances where I had trouble getting a hold of her, but because we live right near her office we were able to pop in and ask questions as they came up. Carol is passionate and creative. She certainly delivered on the wedding day and I would recommend her to family and friends. It was a joy to work with Blossoms.

she showed us and proposed to do was all beautiful, but what was actually delivered at the wedding was almost totally different … and in some cases exactly what she’d been told was NOT wanted ... because she failed to take notes or remember our planning conversations. In fact, the day before the wedding she called to ask several basic questions – not a good way to instill confidence in an already nervous and busy bride! She's clearly become too busy and is now unable to deliver the level of quality that she was known for previously. Much as we want to support small family businesses in the community, we absolutely cannot recommend Blossoms for any important events.

olutely loved the arrangement that we had made together. On the wedding day, my arrangement looked nothing like the trial and nothing like we discussed. Her staff made it better by adding some flowers to the arrangement but it still was not what I was hoping for. Also, the centerpieces were full of hydrangeas which I specifically said I did not want. The staff also corrected those but they were not ready for when the guest started arriving. At the end of the day it was not a big deal but for the money and time spent, it was very disappointing. If she has a previous arrangement that she can replicate then she is the florist for you. But, if you want something new or different don't expect to get it or you might have some frustrations on the day of the wedding that are not necessary.

joy to work with. When it comes to her arrangements, she has a true intuition for understanding what the theme of the wedding will be and how best to complement it. Throughout the selection process, Carol went above and beyond to ensure we were going to be happy with her arrangements and gave us plenty of opportunities leading up to the big event to tweak the proposed options, which gave us peace of mind leading up to the big event. Beyond her talents with floral arrangements, Carol’s sincerity and positive attitude made for a wonderful relationship. When my husband and I would make whirlwind wedding planning trips to Cincinnati (we lived in Baltimore, Boston, and Chicago at different stages of the process) and meet with a myriad of vendors, she was a refreshingly peaceful presence that always brightened our (often stressful) days. Now with the wedding behind us, I can confidently say that Carol is a wonderful and incredibly talented friend who helped make our wedding even more beautiful than we imagined.

with Carol during the planning process. It was hard to get into touch with her via email - calling her is best. There was confusion a few times regarding the flowers - including a phone call the Thursday before the wedding asking what kind of vase the low arrangements were in when we had met for an hour on Tuesday and we decided there wouldn't be any low arrangements. Be sure to take pictures of exactly what she made for a sample because she will likely ask for visuals to reference when making the bouquets and arrangements for the wedding. Carol is sweet, but it takes a bit of patience and accommodation to work with her. In the end, the flowers were beautiful and the planning process did not matter too much. Blossoms offers a GREAT price for flowers, but expect to have to slightly micromanage the process.

flower types, colors, arrangement styles etc. She made up a few different centerpiece arrangements for me to help me see how they would turn out and what would work best for our wedding. My bridal bouquet could not have been more stunning! It had over 40 white roses with greenery around the bottom. I was very pleased! The centerpieces at the reception and all of the arrangements at the cocktail rounds were just beautiful. She made them just as I had hoped! Unfortunately, I chose to use white renuculas (sp?) as the flower for the groomsmen boutonnieres. These fell apart and flopped quickly! Some of the boutonnieres were already somewhat wilted and floppy when they arrived at the place where the boys were getting ready. My husband had a white rose boutonniere which turned out beautifully. Carol provided all of the vases, mirrors, candle holders, etc for the centerpiece arrangements. She had great suggestions on how to make an arrangement look even more grand and gorgeous. She was very easy to work with and a lot of fun to talk to as well!

quets, I wanted a smaller one for my junior. Hers was much much smaller than anticipated for about the same price as the other bridesmaids. So pretty, nonetheless.

Carol is AMAZING to work with. She is willing to work with you on ANY budget and you can tell...she absolutely loves what she does. I never thought that we could afford tall centerpieces but she only charges a little extra for tall than short. ...
She also does "mock-ups" of all the flowers so their are no suprises on your wedding day (and for no additional charge). My only complaint (which isn't a complaint ha) is that she can sometimes be hard to get a hold of since she has so many clients. Just know that if she doesn't get back to you right away its no big deal, just follow up with her again :). Love love love her! Will work with her on future events as well!

Carol's centerpieces were creative, beautiful and highly remarked upon by our guests. She met with us several times (once at an actual nursery, remember to bring a coat) to plan the exact layouts of our centerpieces, boutonnieres, bouquets and...
accent pieces. Our venue was transformed by her craft and her experience and skill shows. She was a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend her to any couple.

My family has used Carol at Blossoms for several events and have always been happy with the results. Our flowers were amazing. She was so patient with an indecisive bride. She worked with me until my flowers were perfect.

I used Carol at Blossoms and she might have been my very favorite Vendor. She was an absolute JOY to work with and her prices are ridiculously reasonable… Seriously, at least go to her to meet her and while you’re there tell her your ideas and ...

Carol is the best! She is flexible and patient. I changed my mind many times while working with her, and must have called her 15 times!

My sister is what most would call "High Maintenance" at the very best, and as the MOH I went to all her appointments with her. Carol was a complete angel the entire time. She met repeatedly with my sister (Much more then the average bride, 6 ...
times total as well as taking her to the actual flower warehouse to look around.) and went over her ideas. She even managed to clarify the vague ones into reality. She did a full setup of the tables, and waited patiently for the three hours it took my sister to make up her mind. (She ended up going with Carol's original ideas). Her prices were more then reasonable, and her attitude was fantastic the whole time. The flowers turned out so amazing, and she even came back after the original setup to RE setup once a huge gust of wind knocked everything over. The one drawback was the wrapping around the bouquets. It was a little loose, even coming undone in one case. (Easily fixed with a switch of the pins) It wasn't day ending, and for the price and quality of service it was worth the tiny annoyance. I'd 110% recommend Carol for ANYTHING you do, and I will be using her in my wedding this coming spring.
