The flowers for my daughter’s wedding were among the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I will recommend Blossoms Florist to everyone!

fessional and creative. We used Blossoms tablecloths, table covers, chair covers, floral arrangements and center pieces to create an over the top baby shower for my daughter at an affordable price! We received excellent service. Carol was the best!
Carol was fantastic to work with! She was always incredibly prompt, often responding to questions within hours (if not minutes), and she was a really great value for the amount of ...
florals we wanted. I was curious to see how they’d turn out as my requests seemed different than what she had posted on her Instagram, but Carol captured my vision perfectly!
We had a mixed experience working with Blossoms for our wedding flowers, so I would recommend brides be extremely organized/on top of their flower orders if using Blossoms. On the ...
positive side, my bridal bouquet and the bridesmaid flower bouquets were beautiful and exactly what I wanted and the large centerpieces Carol created were excellent. However, Carol was quite disorganized and anything we discussed verbally did not seem to translate into the flower arrangements for our day (i.e. the wrong colored vases were used). We paid for greenery on all of our reception tables, but most had only a few loose leaves placed on the table - this certainly did not match the sample centerpiece Carol provided for us so we were disappointed on the day of the wedding since we didn't realize how empty the tables looked until we were in the reception hall and it was too late... and somehow the head table didn't have any greenery on it at all. This was a big flower order and we know that Carol worked very hard on the arrangements, so I do not want to diminish the amazing bouquets, despite our disappointment with the reception tables.
We had such a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception because of Carol! I would highly recommend her as your florist. Carol was extremely knowledgeable of my venue and gave decor ...
recommendations that I would not have even thought of. She made GORGEOUS bouquets and flower arrangements, and even made mock arrangements for me to have at my bridal shower. She is reasonably priced and budget conscious. On wedding day, the bouquets were delivered to my hotel and the rest of the flowers/decor were set up at the venue and I had absolutely no worries. I knew I was in good hands from the moment I met Carol!
I am so glad I hired Carol to do the flowers at my Vow Renewal! Her personality made the whole experience! Our flowers turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined! You do...
n’t realize the significance of beautiful arrangements until you look at the professional pictures later. I am not sure how you celebrate your special occasion without flowers. Blossoms Florist is also reasonably priced.

was very accommodating with the changes that arose and went out of her way to find the perfect arch. She is also very reasonably priced. She is the perfect florist.
Carol is an extremely talented florist. Her love of her work shows through her beautiful arrangements. When I went to my flower viewing appointment I described briefly of what I wa...
s looking for in my bridal bouquet. I don’t know flowers very well so my language in the department was limited. It took her less than 10 minutes to put something together that was EXACTLY what I had imagined. For Carol to have been able to pull that off really shows how talented she is. We also had to postpone our wedding two times. Carol was kind and patient and was sympathetic to our situation. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Blossoms Florist.

n October. Not only was Carol able to work with us on our second date, but she offered up creative ideas to transition our initial vision for spring to fall -- ALL over the phone as we planned from Dallas! We received dozens of compliments on our floral arrangements as well as our bouquets. Blossoms is the best!

what changes we needed to make. One lovely thing that she did was she made samples of our centerpiece and bouquet flowers, so we could give input and make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. Carol far exceeded our vision, and we were blown away by how beautiful everything was on the day of our wedding. Our flowers were beyond stunning, and we got so many compliments!

I hate planning anything and was feeling very overwhelmed with the cost of flowers for my wedding! I was talking with a friend about a current florist I was emailing back and forth...
with and my friend was appalled with the quote she gave me! She said you must try Blossoms on Reading Rd. So I gave them a call and am so happy I did! Carol was amazing to work with and so calming. 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!
5 out of 5 would recommend Blossoms to every bride! Leading up to our wedding, Carol was a joy to work with, especially through all of the changes we made due to COVID-19 and some ...
family health issues. The flowers at our wedding were exactly what we wanted and were absolutely stunning! We cannot wait for Carol and her team to be a part of our renewal of the vow ceremony & reception next year when the pandemic is behind us. If you need a florist, Blossoms is the best in Cincinnati!

dable! She even made an extra stop to drop off some greenery at the reception hall the day before, going above and beyond to make sure there was one less stress in the process. It was such a hot day, but the flowers still looked great when we were taking outdoor pictures. Definitely recommend!

During the planning process, all you have to do is describe your vision and she makes it happen. At our detail appointment, she even created a bouquet and centerpieces to make sure it was what I envisioned. I highly recommend Blossoms Florist!!!

to my bridal shower. Even when she was very busy and had multiple weddings going on that weekend, she took the time to meet with us and answer our questions. She is very experienced, creative, and responsive, so I never had to worry about what the flowers were going to look like. Also, the pricing was very reasonable. Carol made my vision come true, and I am forever grateful!
Carol/Blossoms Staff are amazing and attentive to details. They also do a mock-up to let you know exactly what your getting on your Big Day!

exactly what you envision on your big day! There was a small hiccup with my ceremony arch flowers and in no time Carol drove across the city to fix it! Hire Blossoms if you want a stunning venue! She has so many options for vases, votives, etc that you can rent from her instead of buying it all yourself. Truly the sweetest people you will meet. Thank you!!!
We chose Blossoms as our florist and we are so glad we did. The arrangements were stunning. We highly recommend Blossoms Florist.
I heard about Carol through a friend. Carol did her flowers and center pieces for her big day and they were exquisite. When I got engaged I knew I had to work with Carol for my big...
day. My husband and I got married 10.5.18, and Carol truly outdid herself. She exceeded any and every expectation I ever had. Carol is very passionate about her work, listens and cares about all of her clients providing them with the ultimate experience, and her work truly speaks for itself. I cannot thank her enough for the impeccable work she did for my wedding day. Truly blessed and thankful for all her hard work. For all the current and future brides out there, please make an appointment and meet with Carol. You will not regret your decision. She will deliver any and all of your expectations.
Carol does an amazing job of taking pictures and ideas and turning them into reality. My bouquet was even more beautiful than I even imagined. It's great that a sample bouquet is i...

other vendors, which relieved some of our stress. Not knowing exactly what we wanted (we only knew color scheme) they really created flower arrangements that were beyond amazing! It is like she knew exactly what we wanted without us knowing what we wanted. It was all great!

really get to know me as a bride, and made me feel like family 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!

er vendor downtown to pick out our flowers months before our big 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!!
Carol gave us absolutely stunning flowers for my daughter's wedding, there were details we never would have thought of. While Carol is a talented artist her business could benefit ...
greatly by having a business manager who could organize her and manage her appointments.
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.
We chose Blossoms for wedding flowers and arrangements because of so many rave reviews, but our experience was very different. Carol is lovely to work with and very creative, but ...
her organizational and implementation skills are terrible. What 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.
