Last August (08/03/24) we had Blossoms do the floral arrangements for our wedding. Blossoms were wonderful to work with. They provided us with such beautiful flower arrangements fo...
r the bridal party and our reception tables. Fran (our florist) was so kind and informative. She was able to guide us through the process by providing various examples, suggestions, and building from my reference pictures. While my favorite flowers were out of our budget, Fran was able to suggest how we could incorporate some of my second favorite flowers into the bouquet without it taking us over budget.
Thank you, Fran and Blossoms' team, for your beautiful work!

Blossoms provided us with the most beautiful flowers for our wedding day. I worked with Fran who is so professional and organized. For a mid-late fall wedding, I didn't have a spec...
ific color or flower type request for my wedding. I fully trusted Fran to execute a vision of soft and romantic fall colors and she delivered. Our guests were blown away by the centerpieces. They were truly a spectacular sight that transformed our venue. All floral elements we requested for the church and various other placements around our venue aside from the centerpieces coordinated beautifully. The attention to detail was just exquisite and it was such a joy to wake up to some of the florals in my home the day after the wedding as a reminder of how special our wedding day was.

phone so easy, and even helped with a week-of change of location. The flowers arrived on time (even with flooding in the area that morning) and looked even more amazing than I could have imagined. So friendly, easy to work with, and the bouquets were stunning!

My experience with Blossoms was fantastic! I knew what I wanted, but at the same time I didn't know - and Fran (the florist) met with me personally to show me what she could do to ...
achieve my vision and my budget. After that, I was sold. They were super flexible with dates as well, since we ended up postponing twice. They simply asked us when the new date was. On the actual wedding day, I was blown away by my bouquet. It was just stunning and definitely surpassed anything I had imagined during planning. I am THRILLED we worked with Blossoms and I would highly recommend them to any bride!

DO NOT USE THIS FLORIST!
My venue recommended them and I thought they would be amazing due to the glowing reviews. Sadly not the case.
Half bouquet for showing prior to...
wedding was promised and never made. Pictures were promised instead, and not sent until the morning of my wedding WHEN I CALLED THEM. They used WEEDS in my bouquet (Queen Anne's Lace). Flowers for my wedding arrived damaged (browned edges with HOLES in them); wilted, badly drooping foliage; totally not what was discussed/in our contract (colors for both bride and BM bouqs were WRONG). Shop was closed when I finally saw the flowers IRL so there was nothing to be done about it. I had to walk down the aisle with a busted-looking bouq that made me want to cry. Also of note, owner/manager Dale made unprompted, disparaging comments about millennials during our first meeting, which should have been warning enough, and makes me wonder if I received a bad product because I was born after 1980! The only positive: bouts and corsages were nice and held up (but the bouts came with only black ball-head pins, not pearl ones, which looked cheap to me).
I am writing this during my honeymoon because 1) I am still so sad and angry about it and 2) I want to prevent other brides from making the mistake I did and using this company--which obviously doesn't care about its clientele.
I have not reached out the company (they can't fix my wedding day after all), but I might if my photos come back looking as bad as they did IRL--maybe I can ask them to pay my photographer's photoshopping fees! I will update this review if I do reach out to them.
Response from Blossoms on 09/16/2017
This review certainly surprises us. When the call was made to the shop requesting photos o...
f the bouquets and bouts – we worked promptly to get them taken in different views – even making multiple alterations to suit your request, followed with photos at each step. We worked swiftly to do so, ensuring delivery by 11am so that everything would be ready for your 1pm photos. We were under the impression that your finished product was something that you were happy with –Your message stated “I’m very happy with it. I appreciate all your hard work!” We followed up with an email afterward to check in on you and see how everything went, letting you know that we were happy to oblige to the alterations to ensure you were pleased. In lieu of a response to that email, we find this review which is quite disheartening. We apologize for your disappointment and wish we would have been contacted immediately to do whatever was necessary to make you happy. We will gladly speak with you privately to solve this matter. We hope your honeymoon is enjoyable and look forward to doing what we can for you when you return.

what the "new" trends are, etc. They did a wonderful job of getting exactly what we wanted and delivered on time. The venue looked beautiful. Dale even helped us change the color of our flowers about 1 month prior to the wedding when we changed things around. He was very flexible and did everything he could to make us satisfied. Highly recommend!! My sister-in-law used them as well back in 2009 and we did this year for our wedding in Aug. 2017, we would use blossoms again!

gs exactly how I said I did not want - and one item was nothing like what I ordered. (I ordered a toss bouquet with mostly greens and two red carnations. The bouquet was to break apart into two bouquets when tossed. What I received was 6 individual red carnations with white bows on each and no greens). Other than those problems, the flowers were put together well, and were mostly very fresh. They turned out very well in pictures and the bridal bouquet was a beautiful arrangement just like as I had ordered. However, my review of Blossoms would have been much higher had they followed my order completely in all the details.

When we first reached out to Blossom's we had a great experience, they were timely and our first meeting with Dale was great. He is full of energy and clearly passionate about his ...
job, it was quite addicting. We got our reasonable estimate back and decided to move forward with Blossom's. It came time to do a preview and we showed up for our meeting and no one was there. Between me, my husband and my mom coming from 3 different locations we were very frustrated and a little uneasy as the wedding was quickly approaching. We called to figure out what had happened and excuses were made and fingers were pointed. We made a new appointment that Dale showed up for but never acknowledged what had happened prior. The day of our wedding, the flowers were beautiful. We got everything we asked for and everyone had nothing but kind words to say about the decor. However, our floral arrangement for the church was a center piece, when we were supposed to get a tall and fuller arrangement. For the price we paid for this it was very frustrating. Also, my bridal bouquet, while it was pretty, it was very small. All in all, everything worked out and it's not something I dwell on I just don't know that I would go this route again in the future. I HATE writing a negative review in any sort of way but I know how much I valued reviews during my planning process.

count for paying in cash and payment wasn't due until two weeks before the wedding.
They day of the wedding my bouquet wasn't exactly what I had pictured after he dropped it off and Dale came back to our venue and changed out my bouquet and some of the flowers at the head table and everything was STUNNING.
THANK YOU DALE FOR MAKING ME A VERY HAPPY BRIDE!

d person, but I'm not very artsy. Dale listened to me explain my ideas for the wedding, my likes, my dislikes, and made it into an amazing vision! I felt like he got what I was going for, and then used his talents to make it into something beautiful! We used them not just for the florals, but also the linens! Everything looked great. The only thing I can say is that they did forget one small detail on the bouquets, but this was pointed out by my DOC during set up. One of Blossoms staff happily ran out to pick up the forgotten items, and well before the ceremony even started they were added to the bouquets and everything was absolutely perfect! I was so pleased with their work and how easy they were to work with. I would absolutely recommend them to everyone!

Norm and Dale are wonderful! My flowers were gorgeous and my bridesmaids and I couldn't stop staring at them and smelling them. They lasted well into the next morning (which is say...
ing a lot considering we got married outside in the heat), and I'm even drying my bouquet so I can preserve it. When I ended up originally choosing flowers that would be out of season, Norm was wonderful and gave us two options: 1 -- have flowers shipped in from South America (wonderful to have that option but a little too much for my husband and I) or 2 -- gave me suggestions as to which flowers looked similar or would have the same kind of "feel" that I was looking for. He is amazing at arranging flowers quickly and easily shows you fresh examples right then so you can see exactly what the flowers will look like to make your decisions.
They are also accepting of their customers' budgets -- when we realized it would cost too much to have them do an arch for us, they didn't mind recommending another vendor that we could use. We really appreciated that.
As far as continuing customer service before the wedding, one of their consultants consistently checked in with us to make sure they had the correct counts and to see if there was anything additional that they could do.
Use Blossoms -- you will not be sorry!

We worked with Dale at Blossoms, and he really loved what he did for us! He has quirky, fun personality, which made the planning enjoyable. But what I like most about Dale was how ...
well he listened to me and my family who were helping.
After seeing a sample of our flowers I asked for a quite a few adjustments, and honestly had some pre-wedding jitters about how the flowers were going to come out. I had nothing to worry about though, Dale come through and the flowers looked better than I could of hoped for! The arrangements were modern and romantic, and just gorgeous! I especially loved the bridesmaid's bouquets. Then, when I went into the reception room I was floored by how beautiful the room was with all the floral arrangements on the tables and at the end of night not a single one was left - people were eager to take them home!
