She was so kind when my vision suddenly changed a month and half away from my wedding, and spent countless hours on zoom, emails, and on the phone until my vision came to fruition.

Bride & Blossom came as a recommendation and gave us a reasonable quote compared to the competition, so we decided to sign with them. Our wedding was in May (rescheduled once) when Covid was still very much present, so staffing shortages and sl...
ow response time from the vendor was in effect. That aside, going into wedding day, I was confident they would execute well. Carla, my mom and I had numerous email and phone conversations about table arrangements and flower assortments. The truth: I was beyond disappointed with how the florals turned out. It seems like there somehow was a very large disconnect between the conversations Carla (who was rude and insulting several times, so not the most ideal to work with) and I had and the ones she and her team of designers had because what should have been most definitely was not. Not to mention, there was major lack of attention to detail. Floral arrangements were flat out incorrect (as in one table was supposed to receive a runner of garland and it was dressed with small vases instead). No flowers were added to the cake (despite convos with Carla and images on the mood board and a note in the proposal) and I had to chase down the designers just before the ceremony; what they ended up doing was not in-line with the mood board. Florals that I did not want on the chuppah were put there. Twinkle lights on the ceiling were sloppily placed. I asked Carla for pictures of vases that, per her recommendation, we last-minute decided to use and she never sent any and what she dropped into the mood board was not even similar. When all was said and done, we had a lengthy back and forth with Rachel about all of the issues. She didn't really take much accountability for any of the mishaps and tried to put a lot of blame on the venue. To add insult to injury, she sent me a massive orchid as an apology. Of course, her intentions were right and the flowers were stunning, but I was so upset when all was said and done that to see this insanely massive potted orchid in my apartment day in and day out was just infuriating. Flowers are such a pivotal part of a wedding and take up a large fraction of the budget. It is frustrating that all that money was spent on a service we were not satisfied with and it's so beyond upsetting that the photos and memories of my wedding are tainted—and most likely with some extra communication, transparency, and attention to detail on their end, a lot of this could have been avoided.

Two stars because the results were pretty. No more stars than that, as explained below. Bride & Blossom failed to execute my daughter’s vision for her wedding. Sometimes mistakes happen. It was Rachel’s response to the mistakes that was int...
olerable. Problems are to be expected when there are about a dozen vendors and numerous moving parts. The mark of a professional is how you handle the snafus. I told Bride and Blossom that I was going to write a mediocre review and the owner told me that I would be the only one and that it is slanderous. I am NOT the only one. If you look at the negative reviews, you’ll notice a trend - b&b fails to execute a bride’s vision, and then threatens clients who write accurate reviews. Btw, it isn’t slanderous to give your opinion. It the purpose of this forum. Bride and Blossom created, mostly, lovely flowers But the flowers rarely matched the inspo photos provided to them. They utilize a contract that specifies 10 of this type of flower and 12 of that. None of us are florists and when we ask for them to make a certain look, that is what is expected. Things happen. There are supply chain problems. People are human, but that is when you tell the bride what you plan to substitute with, and send photos. Even if the contract allows you to make substitutions, to not give the customer the option is bad policy. Imagine going to a restaurant and ordering the dish you have been dreaming of and they serve you something else without letting you know that they ran out of the requested dish. Not acceptable! When the bill comes, you don’t need to see 2 tomatoes for X dollars and fresh pasta for Y dollars per pound. You just want the dish you were lead to believe you were getting. When we went to the warehouse to see the sample, we commented that the hanging arrangement of leaves strewn with flowers, looked like it had no flowers. Several options existed as a reply 1---- we will add more and they will be seen 2--- let us know that the flowers are so tiny that they will never be seen so we should substitute larger flowers such as XYZ 3---let us know that the flowers are so tiny they will never be seen so just take them out. We were told they would add more, but on the day of the wedding, the flowers on the hanging arrangement were still impossible to see. Worse than getting the flowers wrong, was the attitude of the people. It was harder to get them to answer an email than all the other vendors. This is a service business. If you have ever been waitstaff, retail, bartender, etc…. you know that everyone appreciates dealing with pleasant people who are responsive. If you are in the wedding business, you are helping a dream come true. When asked for a review, my daughter replied that the flowers were lovely, but didn’t match the photos given. The answer was curt and said they are allowed substitutions. They didn’t offer an apology until pressed and were totally out of line. Obviously, you can pick any florist you desire. If you want the florist to be friendly, responsive, communicative, and try hard to fulfill your vision, I suggest you go to someone who is less busy and understands that they are in a service industry. As you peruse this site, you will see that many people have the exact same complaints. Bride and Blossom have taken on too much work and they’ve lost the feeling of caring about your event.

ike most of my vendors on my wedding day due to a parade blocking many streets in NYC, they were on time for drop off. Importantly, just a few days before the wedding, we had to rearrange tables leading to a few different table shapes versus what was originally expected. Although the flowers had been ordered already, Bride & Blossom were able to rearrange them to fit the new shapes of the tables, creating stunning centerpieces regardless of the last minute change. What's more is they were very fairly priced. I would highly recommend Bride & Blossom time and time again. My husband and I truly appreciate everything they did to make not only our day so special, but the planning process a whole lot easier!

PLEASE NOTE: Rachel warned my mom and I about making any disparaging, false, or slanderous commentary against her, Carla, or their company as they “reserve any and all rights.” I will tell you that this review is 100% factual and honest and the...
refore I have no reservations about sharing my experience. I am expecting that they will respond to this review in a way that twists the story or puts the blame on the customer (as they seem to have done with the other negative reviews that are posted). Though the flowers were indeed beautiful, not only would I not recommend this company, I would advise anyone that is considering using this company not to do so. First and foremost, the job was incomplete, which is simply unacceptable when you have a once-in-a-lifetime event. After much back and forth, we decided to move forward with $1,600 flower arrangements that lined the aisle. Ultimately, what helped us make the decision to move forward with the extra expense, was that these arrangements would be repurposed after the ceremony and put in front of the band during the reception. This was written in the contract. On the day of the wedding, my mother even REMINDED the team on site about about this, which they acknowledged. They STILL did not do it and we were not given the option of taking these flowers after the event (as we did with the centerpieces). Therefore, as much as Rachel feels and says her team is “experienced” their behavior was negligent. They showed blatant disregard for what was contracted and for what was important to the customer. Not only was the job incomplete, but Rachel’s efforts to quell our concerns and rectify the situation were poor at best. My mother first reached out in a respectful way to Carla, who we worked with throughout the process. Carla suggested that my mother reach out to Rachel, the owner. My mother left a voicemail for Rachel but ultimately had to follow-up again because Rachel didn’t return her call. When my mom connected with Rachel via email, her initial response was that Carla already briefed her on the situation. It was clear that she had no intention of reaching out to an unsatisfied customer, which is simply customer service 101. Her responses to my mother's email were completely unprofessional and lacked any business sense. She chose to blatantly ignore the fact that we were dissatisfied, showed zero empathy, and did not offer any compensation for her team's failure to do the job as was contractually agreed upon. In addition to the actual wedding day, the entire process of working with Bride & Blossom was scattered and frustrating for us. While we were working through the invoicing and our final decisions with Carla, my husband and I had to go line by line, compare multiple drafts of the invoice, and do a lot of math to figure out the actual cost. I am thrilled that we did so, as the numbers were incorrect and actually off by thousands of dollars in their favor. I don't know what software they use for invoicing, but when a quantity was updated, it didn’t change the total amount. It was very inefficient and unprofessional. While they consider their staff to be “experienced”, they clearly lack attention to detail in several ways. Additionally, the customer service that they provide is quite appalling. As an "experienced" team, they should know and care about how crucial these two things are in the wedding industry. It is clear to me (and some others per the reviews) that they do not.

This review and Kate’s additional response to our reply comes as little surprise since both Kate and her mother tried repeatedly following their beautiful wedding to extort our team by threatening to cause damage to our reputation and business ...
if we did not refund her several thousand dollars that they did not deserve. In the over 12 years we have been in business and 1000 and counting weddings we have decorated there is only a tiny fraction of clients who are unhappy. We always strive to make our clients day picture perfect and provide excellent service but some people unfortunately cannot be pleased no matter what you do. When we make a mistake we acknowledge our error and do our best to right the wrong. On the day of this wedding and leading up to the wedding Kate was very happy with our services, customer service and designs as evidenced by many emails and eye witness accounts. Our team was in close contact with her mother on the day of the wedding and received no negative feedback or requests to make any changes to the design which we would have been happy to accommodate if requested. Kate's mom never called or contacted Rachel as phone records would easily prove. She also did not send any email although she had our email address from prior correspondence. She did call Carla, our wedding director, several weeks after the wedding and her call was returned promptly. The basis for her call was that she was not happy with the manager on site the day of as she was expecting someone else. The manager in question was an absolutely lovely, talented and experienced African American lady who recently returned from maternity leave. Kate's mother took issue with the fact that this was the person managing her wedding and that she told her she was recently back at work. Our manager was taken aback that Kates mom was clearly not happy to have her managing the wedding when she apparently had expected someone else. Kate then went on the attack disparaging this manager and the team’s ability and professionalism which is disconcerting since we have never had a single complaint about this managers ability. She provided every element of decor as contracted for. It's notable how this was left out of Kate's initial review when her mother made this the central issue when she called Carla several weeks after the wedding. They were provided with every single item as contracted down to the exact count of blooms. The flowers were fresh, plentiful and designed exactly as her design board depicted. The ceremony aisle flowers in question were provided to line the aisle and were absolutely stunning for the ceremony as well as the bridal processional and are a main focus in her images. Kate wanted these flowers moved to the reception after the ceremony but due to the flow of the wedding our team couldn't access the ceremony area to move the arrangements while guests were lingering and flowing in and out. Rachel and Carla apologize profusely for any disappointment caused. The flowers were present and available for family and guests alike to take home if desired. Since these flowers were not re-purposed Kate and her mother decided to demand a full refund despite the fact that they were provided for her ceremony as contracted. Our team does our best to re-purpose as a courtesy whenever possible but we do note on our contract that things are subject to change dependent on the situation day of. There was an apparent issue with the balance totaling in one version of our contract as Kate was accommodated with nearly 10 revisions of her proposal. That was quickly remedied by our team. We have never over billed and would always reimburse if there was any error made on our parts. Our integrity is of the utmost importance. This was never brought to Rachel's attention until many weeks after the wedding and was simply used as an additional tool by which to attempt to threaten and extort which we do not take lightly. Our team went above and beyond to make her wedding beautiful even providing extra flowers and accents complimentary. The guests were wowed and we received wonderful feedback from the venue, vendors and guests alike. Unfortunately after the devastation covid left on our industry as a whole, the difficulty we and many others experienced as a business to stay alive and the ongoing challenges we face with extreme shortages of supplies, product and labor one would hope that clients would have some perspective. Unfortunately, in this case the client has attacked us with such venom and malice and seeks to cause harm simply because she didn't receive a full refund for gorgeous flowers our team purchased, designed and provided for her wedding. She was so lovely to work with all along we wish we had seen her true nature from the onset and not taken on her wedding. Despite that we are proud of the work we provided for her wedding and the video and images from of the decor tell the story.

We felt like we were were not prioritized as clients and the communication issues persisted for so long we actually had to start reaching out to other florists as a back up within 3 weeks of the wedding.

We have experienced a sudden surge of many, many rescheduled weddings all at once from 2020 and early 2021 plus our new clients. Add to that extreme shortages in our industry of labor, flowers and supplies due to the shutdowns and lack of production during Covid. We have had to triage weddings and events that are fast approaching and ask clients with dates farther out to bear with us on their revisions. We have done everything possible to stay afloat and provide beautiful décor often working around the clock.

Bride and Blossom used quality flowers and most of the flowers at our wedding were beautiful. However, some of the arrangements did not match what I wanted (and my husband’s boutonnière was sadly wilted by the ceremony). My biggest issue was ...
that B&B states that their “formulas” tell brides exactly what they are paying for, but brides with no floral experience will find it difficult to read floral formulas and picture the results in real life. I used pictures and descriptions to communicate my desires and trusted my vendor professionals to carry out the vision. Like most brides, I was able to communicate to every other vendor exactly what I wanted using this method. I tried to do this with B&B by communicating through dozens of pictures and emails, but I felt like I wasn’t really being listened to. In the end, I spent enough money to get a “free” sample but was surprised that it was not at all what I wanted. I told them that our wedding colors were ivory, mauve, and burgundy. The sample they set up had mostly pink, purple, and green flowers. While we “fixed” it so the colors were acceptable, the price went up again and the aesthetic wasn’t completely in line with the vision I felt I had clearly communicated at the beginning. If I had not had a chance to preview the flowers due to my high spend, I would have been very disappointed. Finally, I felt misled about an item we agreed upon in email correspondence (as well as in my consultation) but ended up coming out different at the wedding. I noticed it immediately when I walked into my wedding so I brought it up right then. Rachel was on site and assured my DOC that it was right. After the wedding, I emailed Rachel about my disappointment and included supporting prior email correspondence about the item. Rachel was nice in her responses, but dismissed the emails indicating that there had been a mistake. Instead, she pointed to their formula and effectively said that I got the flowers I paid for. While that very well might have been true, I didn’t get what I asked for and felt had been agreed upon.

We appreciate the feedback and apologize for any miscommunication or disappointment. We provide transparent proposals unlike any other vendor in the industry so that couples know what to expect vs what they are paying. We also provide detailed ...
descriptions along with comprehensive design boards featuring the exact flowers and colors selected. Before our sample we confirm that the colors and flowers selected are aligned with the vision but unfortunately, some client's don't take the time to thoroughly review the documents provided. The arrangement pricing increased following the sample because many more blooms were requested as the bride wanted the arrangements larger. We try to stick to our client's budget and provide options at varied price points. Whether the budget is average such as this wedding, low or high we give the same amount of attention and customer service to each of our couples weddings. The bride contracted for 50' of greenery and floral coverage for her ceremony which was clearly stated but was expecting double that amount. We ask that our couples read their contracts thoroughly prior to signing so that we can correct any inaccuracies then.

They were missing materials for our flower wall due to some miscommunication and some of the rose petals were of a different color than we requested.

ing alone. She knew exactly what look I was going for and helped to put an inspiration board together. On my wedding day, although I asked for white callalilies for my bouquet, they came out greenish and just not as white as I would have hoped. I was unhappy with the bouquet and my wedding planner spoke to Rachel that day who quickly sent over a fresh bouquet to my hotel while I was getting ready. I was so thankful she did that for me and it really goes to show how much she cares for her clients! My centerpieces were another thing I was very particular on. We had a bunch of meetings to discuss them and I was so excited to see them perfectly executed on my wedding day. They were HUGE and made such a statement!!! Same with the hanging flowers over my dance floor - Rachel knew exactly what I was going for and executed it to perfection. The only negative thing I could say about the florals for that day was my chuppah. It was my least favorite as I thought it looked very bare and a little too simplistic. I wanted Lucite on the sides which was executed perfectly but just wish the top portion of hydrangea was bulkier and had the orchids hanging a little bit lower. With that being said, it was still beautiful just not what I had envisioned. Overall, I would 100% recommend Rachel and her team! They are extremely pleasant to work with, professional, and really know how to listen to client requests. I hope to someday work with Rachel and her team again in the future :)

idn't really have a vision at first, and Rachel was so patient and professional, going over every option with me.

Rachel also knew our budget from the beginning, and stuck within our budget when sending us a proposal (whereas the first florist we visited sent us a proposal around $5,000 over our initial budget). Fast forward to the preview of our flowers, Eliana was just wonderful. My vision had changed from our first meeting with Rachel, and Eliana was great at modifying the flowers to make them exactly as I now pictured. When I went back for a second preview, everything was absolutely perfect, and every new detail we discussed was included. I must have spoken to Rachel and Eliana about 100 times between the first and second floral preview, and they were so attentive and quick to respond throughout every phone call or email. I can't imagine other florists giving the level of attention and care they provide. I walked into the reception room at my wedding and was in awe of the magnificent job they had done. Everything was absolutely perfect. I still can’t stop talking about my chuppah, or looking at pictures of it. It was everything I could have dreamed of and more. I also had no idea Eliana would be there the day of my wedding, which was an amazing surprise, because I felt so comfortable knowing she knew exactly the look I was going for and that she was who I had been working directly with.

ch I told Rachel many times was the most important thing, as I have always dreamed of having a floral arch at my wedding and they only covered the top with 1/4 of the flowers contracted, and left it looking haphazard. We paid for corsages for our mothers, and they were never given to them. Our bridesmaids bouquets were falling apart and browning. Groomsmen boutonnieres were not given to us until after photos had been taken and were also limp and falling apart. There is actually a picture from our reception of us laughing that my husband's boutonniere had completely obliterated and left pieces all over our sweetheart table. Another thing Rachel claims is that the nature of the flowers were very delicate. She is a professional florist and I took all of her recommendations. She did not once mention that this would be a risk with the flowers she had selected for me. She also tried to claim that my flowers had wilted because it was a hot day. The day was unseasonably cool- look up the weather for Brooklyn NY on August 6,2017. Weather reports do not lie. Rachel does. (Even if it had been hot, summer is wedding season- shouldn't a professional florist know how to keep flowers alive for summer weddings?) I was also accused by the person they had sent to "oversee" the setup of demanding out of season flowers- this was a blatant lie and Rachel even admitted so. Days after the wedding, I had still not been contacted by Rachel, which is very unprofessional for any business owner who has been left with an unhappy client. When I first called, I was initially hung up on. After leaving a voicemail saying that I would keep calling until someone picked up, Rachel picked up after many attempts and the first thing she did was scream at me that I was a psycho. Trust me, I REALLY wish I did not need to call so many times to be answered . Initially, out of principle, we requested a refund. On my wedding day, I married the love of my life. All of my other vendors were AMAZING. I did not want to spend any more time of my life recounting the one negative part of the day. My parents are very wealthy. My husband and I do very well for ourselves. The money means NOTHING to me or my family so we backed off. At this point, we do not want any money from Rachel. She can keep the money she saved from services not rendered. I am only writing this review because I I want to help other women avoid the horrible experience I had. Rachel tries t to make us seem like money grabbers. As I've said, we do not want or need any money. This amount of money is literally nothing to us. What reason would I have to be leaving this review of the vendor who I had initially been the most excited about? I am happy to share photos of our proposal and the results we were given to anyone who is considering Bride and Blossom for their upcoming wedding - just message me.
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2017
We appreciate all feedback even when not flattering. However, this review does not illustrate events in a truthful or factual manner and we appreciate the chance to correct false information. We have decorated hundreds of weddings and received ...
many wonderful reviews from our clients. This particular client came to us after firing her first florist because she was unhappy with their sample. The mother of this bride left a similarly untruthful review and sent us multiple emails containing inconsistent stories and extortive threats in an attempt to get a full refund though thousands worth of fresh and beautiful flowers, supplies and labor were supplied for her wedding. Every item contracted for was delivered and is evidenced by hundreds of documented images and video, both from our archives and the photographer. It is not uncommon for a groom’s boutonniere to be damaged by the end of the reception since he has likely hugged hundreds of people at that point and the blooms attached to his lapel are delicate. They are also natural flowers and are out of water at that point for over 8 hours, unlike centerpieces which are made in foam or water for hydration. There were no out of season flowers provided for this wedding and our manager never noted otherwise. Our proposals detail each bloom included and we rarely use non-seasonal blooms in our designs as they are poor quality. Despite the bride’s inaccurate statements, Rachel and Elianna, both managers of the company, spoke to the bride for an hour starting at 10am on the Monday morning following her Sunday evening wedding. This bride called the business line and our cell phones over 30 times in a row, spanning a couple of minutes, without leaving a voicemail. Upon receiving these missed calls, she was called back promptly. We appreciate all of our clients and provide the same excellent service regardless of budget. Though this bride and her mother have noted their wealth on multiple occasions that is irrelevant to us, we cater to our weddings with the same professionalism regardless of spend. We also respond promptly to our clients throughout the entire design process as evidenced by many of the positive reviews we have received. If there are any questions regarding this client we encourage all prospective clients to reach out to us through The Knot or 646-706-7783. We would also be happy to share any images and other information requested. We care deeply about each of our weddings and sincerely appreciate the trust and confidence placed in us. We are sorry that this client had a negative experience despite all we did to bring her vision to life.
