I just cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Jennifer - she is a joy. From our first phone call, she was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, offering guidance and suggestions. I did not have a clear vision and shared many ideas that changed greatly over time. Jennifer was always patient and kind - she took the time to get to know me and my style, and delivered the perfect bouquets and arrangements for our wedding. I would absolutely recommend working with Branford Flowers to anyone planning an event - you will not be disappointed!
Jennifer was the sweetest vendor! She was so thoughtful throughout the whole wedding process and made sure that I was getting the flowers I wanted for an affordable price. We are so happy we booked her for our wedding!
Affordable and the outcome was beautiful! Jennifer was very flexible and worked to make sure we got just what we wanted. She was also very sweet and offered to stay and help when the hook and eye on my dress broke right before the ceremony and needed to be sewed back on. Would recommend!
Jennifer was our PERRFECT florist. I talked to multiple florists on the phone and from our first phone call Jennifer was the one. She listened to our vision and was excited about our ideas. I also really appreciated how Jennifer sent multiple options for each item we needed with explicit notes about flowers and price. She is extremely organized and brought our vision to life with the most beautiful, fresh flowers. The Best!!!
Jennifer was absolutely amazing to work with! Due to the pandemic and living far from our venue, I only met her on my wedding day. She took the vision I tried to articulate over the phone and made it look even better than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend her to any couple, especially if you have a unique theme in mind. We had a citrus theme, which included fresh fruit in our centerpieces and Jennifer made it look so elegant and beautiful! On top of that, she was so kind and wonderful to talk through during the planning process.
We just worked with Jennifer for our October 1st wedding and she made all of our floral dreams come true. I initially connected with Jennifer, the owner of Branford Florals, over the phone to get a quote. I immediately connected with her warm personality, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for her work. Those attributes were present throughout the two years of wedding planning! The day of, Jennifer arrived right on time with the most beautiful arrangements. Our bouquets were stunning, our ceremony arch arrangement was absolutely beautiful and the centerpieces stole the show. I wholeheartedly recommend Branford Flowers for your next event. Jennifer will go above and beyond to make your vision come to life!
Magic! How two women can take a blank canvas and turn it into a beautiful and elegant room is remarkable. The wedding bouquets and the ceremonial arch were exquisite . My daughters wedding looked like a fairytale with all the greenery and fragrant flowers. Spectacular. Thank you Jennifer
Jennifer was a pleasure to work with for my husbands and Is wedding. All of our meetings were over the phone and she never missed one- there was a slight miscommunication regarding the welcome sign but was solved relatively easily. When she showed up at the hotel with the flowers I was amazed. She basically recreated the photos I sent her! Everything was lovely and I couldn’t have pictured better floral decorations for our special day!
Jennifer was great! Due to covid we had our first conversation over the phone and I really felt like she had a great understanding about what I was looking for. She sent me options based on what we talked about and day of- everything came out perfect! She did such a great job and was very reasonable. Highly recommend!
Jennifer was the best wedding florist! She was so thoughtful and professional throughout the entire process. Jennifer took the time to get to know me and my fiancé (now husband) and our vision. She also worked closely with my MIL and SIL to consolidate feedback and suggestions- the result was absolutely gorgeous. Our wedding flowers were so beautiful. I would highly recommend Jennifer! She was a joy to work with.
Jennifer was excellent! When I first met with her over a year ago, we brainstormed for over an hour about what type of flowers I would want for my wedding (even though I had really no clue about flowers beforehand). We had our wedding this past weekend and the flowers were beautiful and everything I pictured for our big day. Everything from the arbor, to bouquets, to the centerpieces looked amazing! Jennifer was friendly and professional and I would recommend her to anyone.
Wow! The flowers were GORGEOUS. I had a simple flower arrangement for the tables, but she made sure they were stunning. Beautiful quality as well. Don't even get me started on the bouquets! I had to make sure the photographer had a photo shoot with them. That's how gorgeous the arrangement was. She responded to all my emails within an hour. 10/10 recommend!
The flowers for my wedding were absolutely perfect! They came out exactly how I wanted! All my guests loved my bouquet. My centerpieces were also set up just how I wanted them. It was truly an amazing day. Thank you so much Jennifer for being part of it. Highly recommend!!!
Jennifer of Branford Flowers was wonderful to work with! The Chuppa looked amazing as did the centerpieces and fire-place garland! The bridal and bridal party bouquets really brought together all of her favorite colors and the girls dresses. We could not be more pleased!
Jennifer is so sweet and did an amazing job with our flowers. They were gorgeous and exactly how I pictured them!
I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer at Branford Flowers LLC. From the minute I met her, I felt at ease and felt like she understood exactly what I was looking for. She was able to create the look I wanted and worked with us on our budget as well- making suggestions on how to get the look we wanted but swapping out for some less expensive flowers. She sent us a comprehensive breakdown showing all the flowers she'd be using with pictures and multiple options to choose from for my bouquet and my bridesmaids. This made life so much easier!! The flowers were incredible, I was overwhelmed when I saw it all come to life. She was so helpful and very responsive any time I had any questions or needed to make adjustments. I am very particular and hard to please, Jennifer hit it out of the park for our wedding. She was a joy to work with and I would absolutely recommend her.
Jennifer was wonderful to work with and always responded quickly to my questions and concerns. From our first meeting she was eager to hear about my vision and ideas, and provided her expertise and creativity to bring them to life. She did a fantastic job of listening to our budget, too, and helped us come up with ways to keep the cost on target. Our flowers were INCREDIBLE and I was SO happy with how everything turned out on the day! We have gotten many compliments on everything from the arch and ceremony flowers to the bouquets and centerpieces. So glad I went with Branford Flowers!
The flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined! We received so many compliments from our guests. Branford Flowers paid close attention to every detail and helped place the boutonnieres on all the gentlemen. We are so happy we chose them to do the flowers for our wedding day!
My husband and I had a great in person meeting with Jennifer and the consultation went really well. I have no doubts that she is talented but after that first meeting (and after we gave a deposit) a lot was left to be desired. Emails would often take up to a week to be answered and little help was given when we were having trouble designing the ceremony decor. I was very firm in saying no colored flowers anywhere, especially pink - only white, cream, and greenery- and just a “hint of blush” was to be used in the bridesmaids bouquets. The morning of the wedding the bridesmaid bouquets arrived and were very bright pink. Her assistant advised that there were pink flowers throughout the venue as well and asked if they should be removed. As a result, several centerpieces did not look finished. There were other items that were not done per agreed in the contract as well, but the pink flowers were the biggest and most noticeable problem. Luckily, my bouquet and two other arrangements were beautiful and done as desired. When I emailed Jennifer to find out what happened to the curtains used on bridal patio, she advised she had returned to the venue to take them down and threw them out, indicating they were damaged. Since all items used (and paid for) during the wedding were ours to keep, their condition should have been up to us to judge. When I emailed Jennifer addressing this and the other problems, I got no response. As a result, I cannot recommend her services to other brides.
Jennifer did the most amazing job on our wedding floors! She was so patient with me and made sure I ultimately got exactly what I wanted for wedding flowers! Everything was perfect and she was so sweet! I recommend her completely!!
Jennifer is absolutely wonderful! I wish I could give her 6 stars as a review!
From the moment I met her, I knew she was the florist for me! Every idea I had about my flowers, she had a vision to make it happen. She was also incredibly kind and helped a lot with the overall look I was going for.
My flowers--from bouquet to centerpieces and everything in between-- were FLAWLESS! I used small lanterns for the centerpieces and larger lanterns for ceremony decor. Jennifer turned empty vessels into complete works of art. It was exactly what I had imagined and everything I could have wanted. We received so many compliments on these (some people thought the flowers were fake they were so beautiful!).
It was a pleasure working with Jennifer & I am so beyond happy with the results!
Jennifer was delightful to work with. She listened to my vision, showed me options, and checked and double checked my list of flower needs. She supplied artificial flowers for my father with allergies, arrived at the church to help put on boutonnieres and met me in the limo with my bouquet which was incredible. She is a delightful woman with a great deal of talent and patience. She was a joy to work with and I appreciated her sincerity and genuine interest in my wedding day.
Jennifer was incredible to work with. My husband and I made a last minute decision to use a florist, and thank goodness we did! We contacted her about a month before our wedding and she was not only able to do it but was also so excited about it.
Our flowers were exactly what we wanted and hoped for. The centerpieces were beautiful, and my bouquet was perfect. She really did a wonderful job. On top of that, she took the time to deliver the flowers to the guys, who were getting ready at our house, and then bring the rest of the flowers to me and my bridesmaids, who wer getting ready at a different location.
Her prices were straightforward and the best we could find, but the quality of product was not affected at all. We were really so happy to have found Jennifer. She answered all of our questions and made the entire process super easy, despite our last minute addition of a florist. Thank you, Jennifer!!!
Working with Jennifer was absolutely delightful. She was flexible, friendly, and professional. The flowers for our wedding were absolutely perfect! She's quick to respond to email and her quotes are both informative and easy to follow. Our arbor was absolutely stunning!! 100% recommend her as your florist!
Jennifer is AMAZING. She did the flowers for my wedding yesterday and I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful bouquet for myself and all my bridesmaids. After our first meeting I knew she would be the perfect florist for our wedding. Not only is she talented, she’s amazingly kind and her excitement for your big day is so genuine. My father passed away a few years ago and for my bouquet I had a charm with a picture of him, it was so special and Jennifer’s kindness made the moment even better. Thank you for such beautiful flowers and being so kind!
We are so happy we chose Jennifer of Branford Flowers as our florist! She did such a beautiful job and had such creative ideas for our wedding! Our first meeting with Jennifer was lovely and she truly took the time to make our wedding floral designs more beautiful than we could ever imagine! We are especially grateful that she stayed much longer than intended the day of the wedding as the weather was very iffy and it wasn't decided until quite last minute that we would still be able to have the ceremony outside. She worked so hard to get everything in place last minute so that we would be able to have the ceremony of our dreams! I'd recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable, extremely creative, and reasonably priced florist! It was a plus that she was also one of the nicest people to work for too!!
Jennifer from Branford Flowers is truly a master of her craft and made my wedding day so incredibly special! Meeting Jennifer for the first time, I was taken aback by how passionate she is about her work, and also how personable she is! I presented her with the color scheme for my wedding, and several ideas straight from my wildest Pinterest dreams, and immediately I could tell she was very inspired. And she truly made these dreams come to life!! When I saw the bouquets, they were absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! In fact, they were so amazing that I’m choosing to preserve my bouquet. The colors popped so well with the dresses and the decor! My centerpieces were what I was most excited to see, and when I came up the stairs to line up for my ceremony and saw them, I literally started crying because they completely blew me away! They were exactly what I was envisioning but 100x better. The flower clusters Jennifer created for my ceremony were so beautiful that my wedding venue asked if they could keep them for the wedding the following day!! Throughout the entire night, I kept getting so many compliments, but the most recurring one was how beautiful the flowers were! Words cannot express my gratitude for Jennifer at Branford Flowers, and how thankful and lucky I am to have chosen her to be our Florist.
Jen was incredible from the very beginning. When I sat down with her, we talked about our budget and what I had in mind for the centerpieces, bouquets and ceremony flowers. She was able to work within my budget and give me everything I asked for. She was incredibly responsive every time and I was super impressed with the centerpieces! They were everything I imagined in my head. Totally recommend her!
Jennifer was AWESOME!! She was such a please to work with. From someone who knew very little about flowers and giving her very vague descriptions of flowers - she was able to nail everything that I envisioned. My bouquet was absolutely stunning. She even went above and beyond and delivered the bridal party flowers to our friend since we needed them before the wedding, which would have been a nightmare! Due to the hurricane, most of my flowers had to be switched out, and I was very worried, but Jennifer stepped in and did her absolute best to find alternatives which all turned out perfect! Jennifer did such a fabulous job, I am so happy that I chose her as my florist.
Jennifer was amazing to work with and our flowers came out perfectly! I told Jennifer my ideas and let her run with them and everything came out beautiful!

All of the arrangements came out looking great, thanks Jennifer! The centerpieces were especially well done and really added to the event.
Highly recommended!
The bouquets Jennifer designed for our wedding were beautiful, elegant and really, just perfect. I had no idea what I wanted and Jennifer asked all the right questions and kept everything within a reasonable budget.
She is easy to work with, talented and caring. Taking the lid off of the bouquet box was one of my favorite moments of the day. Thank you!
Jennifer did such an amazing job on our flowers! Our bouquets were exactly as I imagined with a wonderful selection of fresh flowers. All the center pieces matched and looked as though we gathered flowers right from the gardens that day.
Prices were reasonable and felt as though we didn't spend too much on flowers for a one-time use.
Jennifer created a beautiful greenery and floral arrangement for the mantle at our venue which immediately caught our guests attention.
Jennifer was absolutely amazing. She gave us exactly what we asked for and was able to keep it within our wedding budget. You could tell she wanted to make our day something truly special, and she did. I would recommend Branford Flower Shop to anyone and everyone.
We worked closely with the owner Jennifer who is a wonderful lady. We thought the cost was very reasonable for all of the things that we wanted. I showed her pictures that I had pinned for inspiration and she made them a reality! We had 12 centerpieces which we partially supplied to her (lanterns, candles and plate) and she made a flower wreath to go around them and set everything up, 4 bridesmaid bouquets, bride bouquet, 8 boutonnières, 4 corsages, buds and petals for the cake, and other small assorted arrangements along with some tulle for the ceremony. Definitely meet with her if you are getting married near Branford!
I loved working with Branford Flower Shop. We had a very small flower order, which some shops were not willing to take on, but Jennifer at Brandford Flower Shop was welcoming and enthusiastic about our order throughout the entire process. Jennifer was extremely responsive, creative in her ideas, kind, and helpful from start to finish. It was a complete pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend this vendor!
Jennifer was so easy to work with from the beginning. I had no idea about flowers, I just knew I wanted them to be simple and affordable and she knew exactly what to do with that info. During the wedding planning process she was always quick to answer any questions that we had and she was happy to make any changes to my flower order.
She was on time the day of the wedding and the flowers were everything I asked for and more. Absolutely stunning! I wish they could have stayed alive forever, but the ones I did keep dried very nicely. I highly recommend this flower shop and Jennifer!
We found Jennifer Hodgins on Wedding Wire after searching for a florist near our wedding venue. It was only 2 weeks until the wedding so we were very stressed since the florist we initially hired failed to meet our needs. Jennifer was willing to work with us last minute. We already had a concept on what the ceremony and reception décor would be. Jennifer was extremely flexible and worked with our budget. She had some good ideas on which flower could be substituted to lower the cost. The arrangements turned out to be gorgeous! The red roses were so bright and the bouquets were so beautiful! She quoted us for a swag for the gazebo but she and Chris ended up making us a beautiful lush garland for the same price! The garland was just so lovely! It became a beautiful backdrop during the ceremony. She made us beautiful flower pomanders, which she placed on the vases during the reception. The guests were so happy they were able to take the arrangement home. Our boutonnieres were wonderfully done and really complemented our suits. We are beyond happy we found Jennifer. She is very artistic with a lovely personality to boot!
Jennifer helped me plan out my flowers for my wedding. She was super helpful and was amazing! I told her what I wanted and I was open to any ideas that she had. I told her the main flowers I wanted and she suggested what would go best. My sunflower bouquets and boutonnieres came out great! Everything was stress free and worked out great. I was cutting it close a month before the wedding picking out the flowers and all went well.
Jennifer and her team are wonderful. If you want great flower arrangements and great service for your wedding go to the Branford Flower Shop... or even if you just want nice everyday flowers!
Jennifer was amazing. She went all out to make my vision come to life. Our flowers were gorgeous. The green apples everywhere gave our our wedding a modern look. All of my ideas really came to life. Everything was so perfect! Jennifer you are wonderful!
Jen was so fun to work with! As soon as we met I really enjoyed her enthusiasm and eagerness to customize my order. She took into consideration my vision and was flexible and artistic in her ideas.
Jennifer at Branford flower shop is amazing!! From our first meeting I felt at ease with Jennifer! She is so friendly and outgoing. We told her the price range we wanted to be in and she made sure to keep us there! I tend to have an expensive taste and Jennifer was awesome about suggesting flowers that looked similar for a lower cost. She was definitely more concerned with making sure we were happy than scamming money from us! I described the look I was going for and Jennifer selected the perfect flowers to go with it! She responded quickly to my emails and was so incredibly patient with me every step of the way as I changed my mind with certain details and added a centerpiece then removed one then added then removed back and forth! On the day of my wedding when Jennifer delivered my flowers to us, i cried when I saw them! I never could have imagined how beautiful they were and how spot on Jennifer was with the look I wanted! Flowers were the one thing I was very particular about, and Jennifer nailed it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Jennifer at Branford Flower Shop could not have been a better choice for our florist! She was friendly, creative and professional! My flowers were better then I could have expected.
Jennifer was nice to work with and really listened to what I wanted. However, on the day of my wedding she forgot a bouquet. Luckily we figured it out on the way to the church and called her from the road. She quickly made another one and appeared at the church as we were getting ready to walk down the aisle.
When my husband and I started to look into the florist we were unpleasantly surprised by the outrageous minimums some would put on an event. While I like flowers just as much as the next girl I did not want them to push us over our budget. When we went into Branford Flower Shop we met with Jennifer and showed her our ideas for types of flowers we liked and ideas for bouquets and centerpieces. Before we mentioned our budget she recommended a less expensive flower to subsitute one of our choices that was very expensive. I thought that was so nice of her to not try to push the more expensive flowers. When we did tell her our budget she came up with a plan that worked within it. We found her a year before our wedding so throughout that time I changed my mind a few times and every single time she was responsive and came back with an updated budget no questions asked. The day of the wedding I was so impressed our bouquets were gorgeous and the centerpieces were more then I could have imagined! Jennifer was sweet to work with, did an amazing job with the flowers and came in within budget - couldn't ask for much more then that!
Jennifer from the Branford Flower shop is awesome. My flowers were beautiful and just what I wanted. The table flowers were very colorful and creative and I loved the fall theme of all the flowers. She was always available and easy to work with. I loved her detailed price quote with the breakdown of costs and options of bouquets.
Jennifer at the Branford Flower Shop helped to make my vision for a perfect day a reality. She worked with me, through many drafts, to make the flowers exactly what I wanted and for a price that fit our budget. She didn't try to over sell, just wanted to make the day how I wanted it. We had a small wedding party with one special addition, our dog. Jennifer was ecstatic to put together a floral collar for our golden retriever and it came out perfect. We had a beach theme and she helped to incorporate a few choice flowers into the sand, shell and candle centerpiece. BFS went above and beyond.
i went through several other options when choosing a florist for my wedding. i heard the "i'm an artist, i will do what i want" from other vendors and didn't feel comfortable with that...
that's when my venue recommended jennifer hodgins at branford flower shop and all of my fears and anxiety were eliminated after our very first discussion. jennifer is a kind person who genuinely cares about her customers and goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of service i've ever experienced!
first of all, she provides you with a quote to cover several price points so you really have options that can work for YOU. second of all, she personalizes each quote to YOU and what you are looking for - she really listens to what your overall theme is and what you're going for - then she makes recommendations that fit your requests, based on her extensive experience.
my example: i am obsessed with ranunculus. like overly obsessed. but i'm getting married in september when they are not in season, not even close. but i've had my heart set on these flowers since the day i got engaged, hearing from the other vendors "there's no way you will have those, they're out of season!" well not jennifer - she scoured all of her flower contacts and magically was able to find the one provider who can get them to us for the wedding, and in the color we want too!!
i just can't say enough things about jennifer but i will vouch for her any day of the week. she is amazing and booking her will be one of the best decisions you will make when planning any event!!
(PS - i NEVER write reviews but bent that rule in this case because of my positive experience)
Jennifer at Branford Flower Shop provided ALL my flowers for my wedding day... the girls, guys, mom's, dad's, arrangements at the church, all my center pieces... and it was all PERFECT! The flowers were gorgeous and Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with!
It was so refreshing to work with a vendor so caring, organized, and a master at their own art. I had no doubts in that the flowers would come as beautiful as they were!
