Blossoms Florist Inc.

every time I walked into her store. She was prompt, met with you as many times as you needed, and even gave me her personal number so I could call or text her whenever I felt necessary. She was on time the day of the wedding, and went above and beyond decorating our church and venue. Carol made this experience easy, fun, and everything I could have ever dreamed of!

season, or were out of our price range. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, as were the candle holders and chandeliers she set up on our tables. I would highly recommend Blossoms and am so thankful for their help and wonderful work!!

I am preserving it! The centerpieces exceeding my expectations!! Carol takes a vision and makes it a masterpiece. She has a passion for flowers and weddings. Thanks Carol!! - Kimberly and Tony

day. They turned out just stunning, every little detail was perfect! Everything from the smallest boutonnière to the tallest large centerpiece was simply breathtaking! She went above and beyond! Choose Carol!!

manage her appointments.

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.

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.

ts myself, I was nervous she would say that was a bad idea (like everyone else I had told), but instead she said it was a wonderful idea putting me at ease. She even offered to have me come in to teach me how to make my first bouquet. When I did come in, she spent over an hour showing me how to create beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres, she even let me borrow her tools and some vases! My reception was exactly what I had envisioned and at such a reasonable price! She was even able to get peonies into some of my arrangements at no extra cost when they were out of season. Carol and her staff are top notch florists and people!

e bits of flowers the carol placed around my cupcake tiers. Flowers can bring out the beauty of the venue and carol did that for our wedding. The flowers were truly the "centerpiece" that reflected my vision. I can't thank you enough, Carol for making my day so beautiful! Jane

y pretty but not what we had discussed, the boutinnieres used a flower we specifically said multiple times we didn't want and the bouquets were also missing pieces we had discussed. I had to send Carol repeated directions, pictures, links to Pinterest on what she and I spoke about on the phone and in meetings. She has superior quality for her price and allows you to borrow votives and any other props she has in her store. I just wish she would have said that she was too busy to deliver the quality and dedication to our event as I thought.

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.

fathers. Carol was absolutely amazing to work with. She is the most giving person of her time and really works to make sure she understands your vision. She went with us to the flower warehouse and put together example bouquets without charging us extra. Her goal is to make your day perfect and she did just that! Everything was unbelievably gorgeous and the picture that captured the look on my face seeing the reception for the first time said it all. Both my mom and I were sad that our time working together was over but I hope to work with her on something else in the future. She is the best! Thank you so much Carol for making my day so perfect!!

ive and flexible. She really listened to what I was imagining and my flower preferences. All of the flowers as well as a garland we used on an arch for the ceremony turned out well. She has a wonderful selection of accessories as well. Overall we were thrilled!

so had one small issue with the cake flower - it was not originally dropped off at the venue. However, it was taken care of immediately. Thank you Carol for your lovely flowers!!

seriously could not have been happier with her. Not only was she beyond reasonably priced, but she didn't flinch when we had a change in our ceremony location two weeks before the wedding (long story - crazy situation) and I called her frantically looking for a last minute archway - which she delivered flawlessly. She also came back that night to take care of cleaning everything up and taking back all of her vases and even incorporated our vases into the mix with hers, which was perfect. We really loved working with Carol and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful flowers and someone who isn't going to nickel and dime you.

rt, tall and cylinder. All were exquisite and admired by all. Her pricing is very reasonable, her skill amazing and her flexibility and creativity a blessing. I even got to take some of the arrangements home for after wedding brunch, making it an even better value, and using the beautiful flowers again. Please give her a call. You will not be dissapointed!

create the vision I wanted and it was perfect!!! She was timely and efficient and very good pricing comparably!

rts of the wedding easier!

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.

rs would be beautiful but when I saw them on the day of the wedding I was blown away; Carol had exceeded every expectation I had. We received so many compliments on our table arrangements and bouquets and how much they added to the beauty of the wedding. I cannot thank Carol enough for the AMAZING job she did and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist!!!

g bouquet for the wedding. She is a true gem! Her work is outstanding !!! Joliea Smith

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! I would certainly recommend her to other brides.

Carol and Blossoms to make you wedding dreams come true. It was a pure fairy tale!

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.

es of the centerpieces and bouquets for me and she truly executed my vision. She was great to work with and is one of those people who truly cares about her customers.

t hands down is the Most Amazing Florist in the City of Cincinnati. She's Passionate, Creative, Innovative, Personable and Affordable. She has a way of bringing your vision to life exceeding any and all expectations you may have had. We Love Mrs. Carol and We Love Blossoms Florist.

reated me with kindness. Her flowers are so incredible and they really made the difference in my wedding. I highly recommend Carol and her flowers for any and all events! She is amazing.

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!

m shipped from India to make sure I got them. She is such a wonderful, kind, and talented person. Such a joy to work with! I cannot say enough great things about her!

gency bouquet at the last minute. Plus she is an absolute pleasure to work with!!

y and tastes, and when my wedding actually arrived and I saw the result, I was blown away. She did everything we had discussed and more, and was so creative with our arrangements. My mother and I fell in love with her when we met her and you will to! She does such beautiful work, and helps your dreams for your big day come true!

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.

get a quote…you will fall in love with her… I cannot think of enough wonderful things to say about her.

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.
